To be fair, Lightning is better in XIII-2 but thats because shes hardly in it. Chocolina gets more screen time.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Blech, I wish SE would get over Cloud and trying to make other versions of him. Why can't they make another character inspired from FFX Yuna and make her a main character? Yuna is iconic enough IMO (probably the most iconic female character next to Aeris).

More importantly, they should be making original characters and not clones of past popular characters at all.

Even after that, though, he wasn't a lone wolf or an asshole to other people like he is in AC/KH. Talking to your other characters on the airship right after the scene in the Conference Room, for example, kind of demonstrates that.
Cloud can at least joke around a little, and he acknowledges that he's responsible with what's happening. He faces the current crisis with determination and respect for his buds rather than wallowing in self-pity alone. Even if he's seasick in the submarine... which is why his characterizations in AC/KH struck me as a little odd.
I like Yuna a lot. Showed strength and discipline without being completely strung into the tough girl role.ULTROS! said:

Yeah, I was never too big a fan of the idea of making a thematical counterpart to a past character in the series.
I do like her character design, though.

Make her wear the same dress she bought in FFVII as well..

All the characters in 13 seem more like caricatures of actual characters than real characters themselves. If that makes sense.
This whole thing just has me feeling rotten. It'd be different if Type-0 was ever coming out stateside and Vs XIII wasn't so obviously in purgatory...

What I gathered from most of these posts is that
Calling Final Fantasy 13 Versus is simply put a Dumb Move.
Considering most here are saying there's just about no connection why are they keeping the 13 branding so far (that we know of)
Why don't they go the Type-0 route and just abandon ties to FF13 altogether?
At this point it should be called FF Versus, FF14 , or hell even FF14 Versus.
(Also I don't see it staying a PS3 exclusive, if it even comes out this gen)

Yuna would be like my second favorite FF character after Lightning. So elegant and graceful. It's just hard to not like her, especially after dat sending. How can one scene just evoke so much emotion without a word?
His characterization in AC isn't entirely out of place. Problem is, they don't actually explain this in the movie well and is mostly expanded in the extra material for AC. His entire shift in characterization was due to his inability to cure his son Denzel and feeling useless to his new family with Tifa after contracting the Geostigma himself. That also brought up some of his older issues as well, such as Aerith's death in FFVII. KH Cloud I'll chalk up as a special case or something because he isn't looking exactly like the Cloud we all know.
And yes, Yuna is awesome. Close to being the perfect female character in a FF game.

Give Rem her own game!
I have never played Type-0 and I have no idea what kind of character she has but I'm in love with her still. <3

I picked up Final Fantasy XIII-2 yesterday since it was $20. For what its worth my daughter loved the first hour...
Makes me think the games are the same and I just changed :/ Perhaps I would have loved FF13 as a kid
Either way, what is the best costume for Noel? Can't stand either character's default look but Serah at least has the free outfit thats pretty good. Might as well spend a few bucks and pick up an outfit for Noel. I can't believe the store doesn't have previews

Not happening.
Still waiting on Square Enix, even though localization is apparently finished to some extent.

If I'm not mistaken there were a few voice actors who let slip that they were working on it right? I personally can't wait as the game looks badass. Would be a perfect send off for the psp.
I like the mass effect armor or the black mage outfit.
Feep said as much, yes.

Well the Steve Blum thing was a lie, there have been other confirmations?
In the staff interview in the Ultimania book they said they were working on an overseas version. That's really all that's been "officially" said.

contrary to KH:BBS (which isn't on psn because of disney, I think) Type-0 is on the jp psn, so I guess it's good sign.
But Lightning's personality isn't anything like Cloud's? Lightning is angry and violent, and Cloud was cocky, then shy.
But Type-0 still used a lot of XIII's mythology. There were L'Cie, for instance.
I can't get the link to work?
Ahahahahawaaaaaaaaawaaaaawhyyyyyyyy would you remind me of that pain?

What was the final FFXII-2 Lightning DLC about anyways? Did it add to the story or ending in any way or was it just another boss fight like the original intro to the game?
Bring back Fang.
And with Vita being a failure and PSP sort of just there...they might as well make Type-0 HD and put it out on Xbox and PS3. One can dream.

The way they keep referring to it makes me even more convinced now that this is going to be something special or unique for Square Enix. Definitely the Lightning Saga could develop in multiple titles (and media) or just one key title released episodically DD on PS3 and 360. I'm calling it now: this is not going to be your typical FFXIII-3.
Now I'm really looking forward to it.

This is like the 20th person I've seen say versus should be renamed to FF14. Are there really that many people that don't know 14 exists?
It was a boss fight. Fun, but not much was added to the story, you just find out why Lightning is
in crystal stasis
Something along the lines of she doesn't know how to fix the mess Caius created, so she's sleeping until she can find the answer.
You're looking into it too much. It's going to be one singular game. Especially given the development time/planning time.
I would buy this!

It could be like that, but it'll be a different title from XIII or XIII-2; gameplay/genre wise or format. I really don't think this will be another classic jrpg sequel to XIII-3 like XIII-2 has been for XIII. Short dev. time, various interviews, this event, the title's event name ect. suggest me to expect in ANY case something different from the usual. In short: I don't expect XIII-3 to be XIII-3. Lol.
I honestly have no idea. We'll find out in 13-3!
They should just rename it XI, since they skipped that one for some reason.
They keep calling it the 'next XIII title' so I don't think it will be XIII-3 either. Probably more along the lines of (Insert Title Here): FFXIII.
Tell that to Noctis.

Heh, he let's Ignis do all the thinking, he just wants to gut people.
Speaking of sleeping, what is up with Nomura and sleep motifs in his games.
He doesn't get enough sleep due to his job.

I actually think Versus could well remain exclusive. Only because I don't think - from what we've been told about the game, that it would lend itself as a particularly easy port. This coupled with the fact that final fantasy sales are far lower in general on 360 sort of suggests that the game would stay exclusive by default. I mean they've been very open with other titles and their intended platforms yet still advertise Versus as an exclusive.
