XIII was pretty bad but it was still better than the borefest that is XII ¯_(&#12484_/¯

XII is where the fall of FF started.

Frank, why you always got to be so right all the time?

Edit - Oh wow, by quoting your emoticon it looks like it's smirking in a different direction. That's incredible.

Both of you have terrible taste. Your bad and you should feel bad.

 

[Dead Prince]

Truth be told, I detested XII's wide open empty spaces of nothingness a little more than the endless corridors of XIII. Oh how I pine for the PS1 days of Final Fantasy. Pre-rendered environments <3

isn't that what Lightning Return is doing? lol. the desert looks amazing.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

That Versus footage looks nothing like XII, not sure where that impression comes from. It looks vaguely like Kingdom Hearts - and pretty janky at that, whatever it is when it releases will be awesome.

Yeah they both have level design problems.

Honestly while I found XII boring, I found XIII insulting and I rather be bored than insulted.

All they have to do is make areas that are fun to travers.

The fact that the characters have a greater range of movement than any previous FF should help make exploration fun.

 

[StuBurns]

FFXIII > FFXII, although they are both amazing, and garbage at times.

Regardless, Versus isn't either, it would appear to be the mutant child of DQ8 and KH, both of which are much better than the two most recent mainline Final Fantasies.

 

[Boke1879]

Looks so fucking good.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

This. Versus looks like KH with all the fun removed. I really hope they have done something incredible with the battle system in the last 2 years or just went with turn based if not. I dunno.

Bringing back pre-rendered environments?! I wouldn't know because I've avoid the game like the plague, but if that's what they're doing then it might be worth checking out after all.

 

[Dead Prince]

the thing that is lacking with these new FF is the side quest and find mini games. they need to bring back the fun instead of some lame bounty quests.

 

[Chamber]

Damn, still quite impressive. Can't wait to see new visuals.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Agreed
To me it looks like they've got a load of nice, fluid animations for the combat, but in that trailer nothing connects well at all, it looks really early though so I wouldn't be worried.

Hopefully we will be all the wiser in 2 weeks. And satisfied...

That's cause it's 3 year old footage at this point.

 

[Dinjooh]

Yes. Yes.

But ultimately it only needs some more Kimahri.

ikr

 

[Dead Prince]

all of us after sony event

 

[StuBurns]

XIII-2 had some mini-game stuff didn't it? If I remember correctly anyway.

 

[SolidSnakex]

 

[DemonNite]

Awesome. Would love to see one everyday.

Thanks. I'll try

 

[Dead Prince]

it'll be like WKC target render vs retail game

 

[Meccanical]

Yes. Yes.

But ultimately it only needs some more Kimahri.

But Kimahri was useless. :V

 

[BlazingDarkness]

it'll be like WKC target render vs retail game

lol stahp

 

[Napalm_Frank]

It pains me that Ni No Kuni got more things right being a Final Fantasy game than XII or XIII and it probably was made with a fraction of the budget. Replace the story with lil more meat and more adult stuff, add few things here and there, improve battle system and you'd have a badass current gen FF game.

 

[Angelus Errare]

I wonder how many of you guys will be on suicide watch when SE announces FFXII remake for PS4. :3

I didn't really like Ni no Kuni that much either to be honest.

If they put inthose airship battles they scrapped I'll get it day one.

Lancet, lancet, lancet, lancet, lancet, self-explode!

What the? His Meowjesty.. Her Moojesty.. Lord High Lord of the fairies? Come'on.. COME ON!

 

[Spongebob]

Now imagine this on the PS4...

You have no heart.

 

[Meccanical]

You have no heart.

My name isn't Xehanort.

HA HA KH joke.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

<3 ni no kuni so much despite its flaws. I REALLY hope level-5 is cooking up an RPG for PS4.

 

[Meccanical]

Now imagine this on the PS4...

8GB of RAM will guarantee ground textures will no longer be shit!

Also more vegetation.

 

[ArisenDragon]

Square Enix has to deliver its now or never.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

all of us after sony event

Nah, it'll be shown.

Spoiler

IT HAS TO.

Thanks. I'll try

Thank you! That'd be awesome. But if that prevents the creation of GIF's that were like the Terminator one, or the Mission Impossible one, by all means don't do them.

Now imagine this on the PS4...

It's still an early release title, it'll look better, but not all that much. I will happily eat crow with BBQ sauce if I'm wrong though!

 

[SniperHunter]

I can't sit through work for 8 more days

I can't apply for jobs, I can't complete my physics or chem work, I can't do anything!!! DAMN E3!!!

Productivity has declined big time!

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Square Enix + 8GB RAM will blow minds.

 

[kayos90]

Sorry. I'm a carnivore.

 

[StuBurns]

I'm playing thru NNK at the moment, it's pretty cool, but it still lacks the sense of overwhelming scope of the pre-FFX games.

 

[Meccanical]

Square Enix has to deliver its now or never.

That or everyone goes on suicide watch.

 

[ArisenDragon]

[Meccanical]

More 8GB of lamb.

Lambchops.

 

[Saint Anima]

Damn. I've avoided hyping myself over this game for so long but now that E3 is around the corner, and there's a chance we can get something like this on more powerful hardware...it just makes me wonder how much more they can do, ya know? Smoother frame-rate, no doubt, but I'm wondering if SE can use the extra graphical oomph of the PS4 to make this look even better than it does here (assuming it is a PS4 game now, of course).

 

[Cidd]

I just want likable characters, good story and addictive gameplay, graphics are the least important to me. Afterall this is SE their graphic's will be top notch as always.

 

[SniperHunter]

it depends if it's exclusive or not. I don't want a cross gen port!!!! If it's PS4 exclusive then oh yaaaa, it will melt minds.

 

[kayos90]

Lambchops.

Yum. How about some filet mignon yo!

In all seriousness, I just want to see a teaser for XV. That's all I care about at this point. If there are surprises that'd be nice. Just an extra.

 

[Meccanical]

VGLeaks hasn't been wrong yet, so if they say it's exclusive I'm gonna believe it.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Square will announce FFVX for Xbox One, and FFXIII-4 for PS4.

Pls b excite

even Verendus said it was exclusive :O I hope both vgleaks and verendus are right

i liked NNK to a certain extent. they need to get a hollywood story writer. also it's a perfect time to bring out Dark Cloud series for Sony's unofficial them "nostalgia"

Final Fantasy Fivety Ten?

Killzone Shadow Fall is a launch title and it looks significantly better than current-gen games. If Versus was moved to the PS4 2 years ago, then they would have had quite a bit of time to get it looking like a next-gen game.
