It begins.

 

[Septimus]

Will watch this thread. Make sure you tell me all about that DVD, Kagari.

 

[wangman31888]

i frequently wear leather clothes with multiple zippers and belts, does this mean i am banned?

 

[sprsk]

1 thread for 3 games?

 

[JCreasy]

Thanks Dude, I needed this.

 

[Loudninja]

Nice job Kagari

Have to keep and eye on this topic, need more Versus info.

 

[maniac-kun]

Cant wait for FF XIII and nom-chan!

 

[HK-47]

No belts and zippers is fine, but I dont get no negative discourse. I hate one sided topics where dissenting opinions cant be expressed.

 

[neojubei]

Nice thread Kagari.

1 thread for 3 games?

Better than 3 topics.

 

[Kagari]

Will watch this thread. Make sure you tell me all about that DVD, Kagari.

Yeah, I hope it's worth the $55 I spent on it.

1 thread for 3 games?

Yep. Generally most of the information comes out at the same time for all three. Might as well keep it all in one place.

 

[RoboPlato]

XIII and versusXIII are the first JRPGs I've been excited about in years. Can't wait to see more of them.

 

[GCX]

Good job with the thread!

I'm not really "feeling" Agito or Versus right now but I can't wait to hear more about XIII. I'm ready for some new mainline FF action.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Even as an ardent proponent of the b&z meme, I'm glad duckroll said he's gonna enforce the rules regarding them. It really gets out of hand around this place.

Okay, because nobody answered this question in the Dissidia thread: wtf does "agito" mean?

 

[Defuser]

I really wish SE would reveal more information for all 3 games. We still haven't heard about Haeresis yet.

 

[Zilch]

No belts and zippers is fine, but I dont get no negative discourse. I hate one sided topics where dissenting opinions cant be expressed.

Are you suggesting there was any sort of constructive and intellectual discourse before when people would enter threads just to post something along the lines of "boy oh boy nomura sure sucks whats with all the beltzippers lol"?

 

[archnemesis]

wtf does "agito" mean?

Agito is Latin for "to put in motion". It seems like a good name for a portable game.

 

[Regulus Tera]

...I should have realised. Agitar is a Spanish word meaning something similar.


I feel dumb now.

 

[bistromathics]

Erm I have not been following FFXIII outside of the major announcements, but what is this 'fabula' thing? This is the first I've seen the word used...if it had been used outside the context of this thread I would have assumed it was a spinoff game for the iphone or some other platform. Plz dont rape me for the question jgaf ;_;

 

[Cirekiller]

I can't wait any longer. I think I sub-consciously try to shut myself of from Final Fantasy hype till next year but damn. It's been so long since I played a great FF game. Hopefully news will continue to trickle out until the demo comes out.

It's the name of the entire FFXIII project, meaning, all three games, which will be different but follow the same mythos. It means something like New legend of the crystals or something, in Latin.

 

[bistromathics]

ah, ty

Fabula Nova Crystallis is a FFXIII Compilation,similar to FFVII Compilation.

The only thing related in these 3 FF games is the stories involving Crystals.

I am setting my expectations extremely low for the information we receive this month, I just don't expect anything of true significance whatsoever

 

[Forkball]

Thanks, I never saw those FF Versus XIII images. A lot of new characters there.

 

[MoogPaul]

what is that Cloud Message thing?

 

[Kagari]

I am setting my expectations extremely low for the information we receive this month, I just don't expect anything of true significance whatsoever

Supposedly we'll see the battle system. Which would make sense because the demo production is going to be completed this month.

 

[Rpgmonkey]

Not really interested in any trailers for all three, just the FFXIII gameplay right now.

 

[Death_Born]

A NEXT FINAL FANTASY IS...

 

[Kagari]

I'd like to see that one leaked Versus XIII video in non-cam quality ;D

 

[brandonh83]

Excellent. Time to set up camp in here.

 

[lordfroakie]

I can't wait for Agito and Versus

 

[kenta]

Supposedly we'll see the battle system. Which would make sense because the demo production is going to be completed this month.

But we've already seen the battle system. A queuing system made cinematic and stylish with some type of bullet time-esque clock in the corner or something. The original trailer showed it all

I guess they could show us how it works with multiple party members and if we can do cool things like team-up attacks and whatnot, but like I said the meat of it has been shown and known for a while now

 

[Hazaro]

Any idea on the price for the Demo + FF:AV Children BluRay?

Or will the demo be available separately?

I'm going to have my friend buy it and then bum the demo off him

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Hopefully we see the battle system soon. It's hard to get hyped off of bullshots and CG trailers. Hopefully the story isn't... well hopefully story is better than the past couple of games.

I'm looking forward to this game.

Sure, we saw it in the original trailer... from two years ago. We have yet to see it as it runs today... they could have changed it, no one really knows outside of the development team.

I'm guessing it will resemble Lost Odyssey, but with more stylish attacks and such. Since this is Final Fantasy, and turn-based for the first time since FFX, expect some awesome battles.

 

[Darkman M]

Final Fantasy Versus XIII is the one final fantasy i am looking forward too, i just like the darker style vibe im getting from it.

Demo won't be separate as far as they have announced... no other details on the actual package have been revealed yet either, nor of the PS3 hardware bundle they'll be doing as well.

Bummer.

I'd probably guess around $80 after conversions though.

From finalfantasy-xiii.net:

"Dengeki's CLOUD Message releases on the 12th and we're pretty much expecting the same sort of publication as we got last year. This time there won't be a DVD but there are a few interviews which might make up for it. Dengeki has opened a preview site for the book which shows a few small shots of the pages we'll be seeing.

The Final Fantasy XIII preview shows artwork we've seen before but it seems Lightning's has been changed slightly. Maybe this means Nomura is finally finished with her character design."

Old:

New:

I can't tell the difference

 

[Kagari]

^Rehost that.

 

[Cerberus]

Nice thread.

I hope Square-Enix announces a date for the demo and lets us pre-order it.

 

[Kagari]

As far as Lightning looking different, in that Cloud message preview, maybe it's just the angle but it looks like her face shape is slightly different? D: Maybe?

That's all I've been able to notice.

 

[Iksenpets]

That's all I've been able to notice.

It's hard to tell with the red tint over everything, but it looks like her hair might be a lighter shade, too.

 

[Diablos]

Off to a good start. Nice OP.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Her chin seems to be a little more prominent...

 

[itxaka]

It is actually. I like the older face more, it looked more ¿natural? that new chin is a bit weird

Let's see how long this thread avoids the Square curse.
