Fabula Nova Crystallis official site opens

Awesome. It's starting to feel like it's really real. Can't wait for these games.

Edit: yeah, there does look to be room for more. We've seen the Haeresis XIII Logo, maybe something will come of that. Plus, IIRC a ad for FNC back when it was first revealed seem to hint at 6 projects.
 
Well, the FF13 site is certainly beautiful and I like the BGM, but at first glance it doesn't contain anything we haven't seen already. Will rip all the pictures now :P
 
I may have been speaking too soon earlier, I don't think I've ever seen these before:

there's two new screens of lightning, which until now were only in scans

there's two BGMs in the FFXIII part as well (that i know of) - the slower one, and the music from one of the latest trailers (it sounds like a different version of the original trailer music) -
 
I can't believe this is happening!!! Oh so Nomchan's proper name is Vanille not Vanilla. Sooo what changes did Nomura make for Lightning? Fatter face?
 
Nice option, you can actually scroll through the pictures using the wheel on your mouse. :D

Anyway, awesome music and awesome screenshots. Damn you Square Enix, I've got so many other games to look forward to too! Hopefully it will play as well as the other FF games.

Edit: New avatar get!

Edit2: Holy shit, mind I use that ripped art for my avatar Durante? Thanks loads if so!
 
Behold, the first 1080x1920 FF13 pictures! :lol

Except the image host resized them :/
It's so stupid, the original images are 1080*1920, ~ 1.4 MB per image. And tinypic resized them to around 900*1600, ~ 2.5 MB per image. WTF?

NOMURA SHOULD'VE BEEN A FASHION DESIGNER. could have given lagerfield et al some serious competition.

No shit, I actually like Snow's outfit a lot. Heck, if I had abs like that, I would be wearing something like that too, no matter how cold it is! :lol
 
I found an image host that is not mind-numbingly stupid in its handling of large files -- get these if you want the highest quality versions (they are 100% equivalent to the ones in the flash):
Lighting
Vanille

No problem, I mean I just ripped it.
 
Damn I'm feeling these designs a lot more now for some reason. They look really good in the images posted above.

*hears BGM*

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.gif

;_;

PLEEEAAASSE. RELEASEEEEEE.
 
I never realised Lightning's inner sweater cuts off at the midriff....and is sleeveless.........


Too bad all FF characters wear the same damn outfit from the beginning till the end of the game.

Can this stuff be bannable yet?
You cant go into a FF thread without someone doing it.

I can't wait. Although we wont get it until mid-2010 in NA.

i've never really bought the whole stigma of nomura's "beltz & zipperz" until looking at this hi-res character art. lightning's design seems to be reminiscent of nomura's X-2 designs, which i found.... okay.
 
Noctis' sword is kinda neat. I like it.
 
Is the blonde dude wearing victoria's secret lingery under his jacket?

Still liking the char desings.
 
I can't find anything wrong with Lightning's design. The belts are, at the very least, functional. They aren't just hanging off of her for fun.

To be fair, all of them except the one in the waistline seem to be not superfluous.

That's why it actually is bannable in the main FF13 media thread (but not here).
Personally I consider the main FF13/versus characters easily the best game character models ever when you combine the art style and the technology. Especially when you realize that Nomura's designs (with the flowing clothes, various accessories and often long and complex hair) are actually significantly harder to render than the prototypical space marine in body armor.

That one is obviously pre-rendered (well, technically all of that is, but you know what I mean). Show me some real-time sword screenies and then we'll talk.
Yeah, I was commenting purely on the art and not on the technology there. But considering the bit of realtime versus footage we've seen I have little doubt the in-game version will look amazing as well.
