Wow thats looking great, please let it be released 2008

 

[LowParry]

With tha japanese release date being in 08, does this mean we might see a demo this year on our shores?

Japanese account, go!

 

[Jijidasu]

Touched up a few pictures for better viewing.

How it was in the trailer:

 

[Wes]

Pigtail girl looks good!

First impression was she looked like a combination of Selphie and the flower girl.

 

[nelsonroyale]

that touched up image makes it look more blurry...like a nice painting

 

[Zoe]

Is that a girl in the Versus Scan?

It's definitely a girl, scan refers to her as "shoujo."

 

[Teasel]

shiva and ifrit looks good but what the hell is that thing in the center? it looks like of what you would get if you mixed a pug and nights,can't we just have good ol'ramuh?

 

[jett]

Someone should remind Squeenix that they're making video games.

 

[Durante]

Whoa, awesome. This is like the most new XIII content in a single showing EVER (to me at least).

Yeah, after the initial unveiling. And that's really sad.

But I'm still looking forward to this game more than any other next-gen offering.

 

[duckroll]

Someone should remind Squeenix that they're making video games.

They are? Could've fooled me, last I checked FFXIII was a PS3 Blu-ray movie exclusive.

 

[Magicpaint]

Yeah, if that shot is in-game then *drools*

I still don't have a lot of interest for it...yet, though.

They are? Could've fooled me, last I checked FFXIII was a PS3 Blu-ray movie exclusive.

:lol

 

[Jonnyram]

So, 2008 confirmed? Nice.

 

[Fuu]

So, 2008 confirmed? Nice.

"Reports" in 2008.

 

[Desi]

Am I the only one that doesn't like Jester Carbuncle and Harp Siren feather chick? Ifrit looks real nice as does Pigtail girl.

The chick from Versus reminds me of Lightning.

 

[MassiveAttack]

"Reports" in 2008.

Which means what, exactly?

 

[jett]

Which means what, exactly?

"FFXIII NEW YEAR REPORTS IN 2008"

It's talking about the article itself. Jesuscrysis people.

 

[Zilch]

That vista of the barren planet and Cocoon floating above it gives me chills. That is the kind of image Square should be releasing to get people pumped for their games.

 

[Jonnyram]

The chick from Versus reminds me of Lightning.

I'm pretty sure that "chick" is part of XIII, not Versus.

 

[Fuu]

"FFXIII NEW YEAR REPORTS IN 2008"

It's talking about the article itself. Jesuscrysis people.

Edit: this.

 

[QuickKick89]

yeah, dont know what the heck that is...a bow maybe? Heard it mentioned somewhere

also, after looking at the scans all of the summons are obviously in cg...the flames in the infrit pic especially point to this

I think she's just holding one of her pigtails.

 

[duckroll]

I'm pretty sure that "chick" is part of XIII, not Versus.

Nope, she's part of the Versus article which is two pages. She's facing off with the Prince on the other page.

 

[MassiveAttack]

3 pages and no JollyCorner? Pfffffft.

 

[nelsonroyale]

Nope, she's part of the Versus article which is two pages. She's facing off with the Prince on the other page.

actually she looks a little like squall, but only because of the hair...in actuallity she doesnt look much like him but the constant screeming that some gaf members do over clones, makes you pay more attention to the silimarities rather than the numerous differences...including gender

 

[lastendconductor]

shiva and ifrit looks good but what the hell is that thing in the center? it looks like of what you would get if you mixed a pug and nights,can't we just have good ol'ramuh?

That's Carbunkle.

I think she's just holding one of her pigtails.

Not really. Look carefully, her pigtails are much shorter, that's like a weird gun/bow with a wooden tip

 

[Zilch]

So you're blaming the fact that YOU think she looks like Squall on OTHER message board posters? Your poor impressionable mind! :lol

 

[Jonnyram]

Sorry, thought he was talking about this...

...since she looks like Lightning.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

3 pages and no JollyCorner? Pfffffft.

had to sleep off a hangover, lad...


I like what I see. I've been saying this game will release in 2008, at least in Japan, for a year. I wish S-E would confirm it so I would look really radical!

 

[Kweh]

What's with the hatin' on the design of Carbuncle, I think he looks good! I've not seen Siren yet, can anyone link me to the pics?

 

[lastendconductor]

...since she looks like Lightning.

Everybody looks like Lightning :lol

 

[duckroll]

What's with the hatin' on the design of Carbuncle, I think he looks good! I've not seen Siren yet, can anyone link me to the pics?

I think GAF is more afraid of the fact that the summons are Transformers than any real disagreement with the designs. I for one welcome our Michael Bay inspired overlords.

 

[Jonnyram]

And why do people think Leah Dizon is Japanese!?

 

[vissione]

.

 

[totoro'd]

More Versus:

He looks like a beardless Basch, yum. I hope he's one of the main characters

 

[Dante]

Pigtail girl!

Wish we had a clearer pic of that landscape.

 

[Desi]

FF13:

The blue feather thingy. Carbuncle looks like a puffed up jester puppy. I have too many of those around the house and they look artocious.

 

[Diablos]

Female Squall confirmed (I can't be the only one who sees it; quick, someone shop a comparison pic).

Anyway, I wish S-E would stop leaking new pics every now and then and just give us some kind of idea as to when FFXIII will be out.

When the PS3 userbase in Japan hits 6 million.

 

[Lightning]

WOW. duckroll FTMFW!!!!! Thanks man!!!

Those are effin amazing!!!

 

[Diablos]

When the PS3 userbase in Japan hits 6 million.

Please. I want a fucking release date. Why wait until the userbase hits a certain number when you can generate hype? If S-E were to promise FFXIII by the end of this year over in Japan (lol), I think that would generate some sales throughout the year, yes.

 

[jett]

When the PS3 userbase in Japan hits 6 million.

FFXIII cancelled confirmed then?

 

[Fuu]

Spoiler

It's Leah Dizon.

I did a search when she was mentioned earlier and, damn, she's hot. Many naughty pics.

 

[nelsonroyale]

When the PS3 userbase in Japan hits 6 million.

dont say that man...

I might have to apply for some cash from the Gates Foundation

 

[Lightning]

When the PS3 userbase in Japan hits 6 million.

The PS3 doesn't have a shit show on reaching that target until AFTER Final Fantasy XIII is released.

Nope. I really think S-E is playing safe here. They're not going to release a FF game on a system until they can be sure of x sales at least. If they announce FFXIII with a release date, all they're doing is trapping themselves in a corner.

Too bad then.

kind of...they are already to committed to releasing the game on ps3...they need to stimulate sales somewhat. There are few games which can create as much excitement as ff.

Really, the ps3 needs more japanese games to stimulate interest over there....isnt dynasty warriors the biggest so far? Thats horrible... I only have one Japanese game, NG Sigma...an upgraded port.

 

[Kyoufu]

Just a reminder to people:

THAT IS NOT SHIVA! ITS SIREN!!!!!

 

[Desi]

Just a reminder to people:

Are you surprised that no one confused them yet?

 

[SOLDIER]

duckroll, you rock!

I think I have a new favorite female char in FF13 now.

I guess she's the cute spunky one of the female trio (there's always three girls).

What the hell is she holding though? Looks like Nami's three pole weapon.

I only have one game... Uncharted. That'll change with DMC4 and RgG Kenzan. Hopefully both do well enough in Japan to generate more userbase. It's quite a sad state of affairs overall.

<3 <3 <3

Hopefully it will be all explorable. After XII, I can barely go back single paths from previous FFs.

BTW. I dont think the whole "FFXIII reports in 2008" means it will be released in 2008. It probably means its reporting with new media for the new year.

However, I hope I am wrong. I want FFXIII NOW!
