Which is why it'll be a Vita game outside of Japan ;D

Yeah, that'll clearly perform much better.

 

[spectyre]

I am chomping at the bit for a NA localization announcement. This top notch OP just adds to my anguish.

 

[Aokage]

Glorious OP, by the way. I might have gone "When 9 and 9 Become One" for the subtitle, though

Edit: Even though I have no freaking clue what it means yet.

 

[Aeana]

Done with Dark Souls! Time to dive into this.

 

[jimmypython]

NICE OP!! subscribed.

still waiting for my copy.............>_<

 

[Kagari]

Really impressed with the OST so far... wow.
Best FF score in ages!

 

[AgentChris]

Slick and pretty OT. Nice job Kagari!

 

[B.K.]

Really impressed with the OST so far... wow.

Does it have The Prelude and Final Fantasy in it?

 

[Kagari]

Does it have The Prelude and Final Fantasy in it?

Why yes, yes it does.

 

[B.K.]

Why yes, yes it does.

Automatically the best Final Fantasy OST since IX!

 

[jimmypython]

Why yes, yes it does.

it has FINAL FANTASY as well? Wow, it's good to know.

Spoiler

what a shame, FFXIII! (the XIII OST itself is great tho)

 

[Tigel]

What, better than FFXIII's?

 

[Kagari]

What, better than FFXIII's?

In my opinion, yes.

 

[B.K.]

Spoiler

what a shame, FFXIII!

I was listening to the Final Fantasy Legends soundtrack last week and even it has The Prelude and Final Fantasy.

 

[Jonnyram]

This game has awesome music. That first boss fight :O

 

[charlequin]

Automatically the best Final Fantasy OST since IX!

What's XII, chopped liver?

(Not that I am not ravenously anticipating the Type-0 soundtrack, of course. Ishimoto rules.)

 

[Tigel]

In my opinion, yes.

Oh crap, it looks like I'll have to buy it then... Damn you, making me spend money like this!

 

[kiryogi]

Hrm game doesn't like CFW, or at least not for me. Guess I'm gonna have to use my clean 2K.

 

[Aeana]

Oh my.
So I got through the tutorial mission, and first impressions are: this is so much better than the demo. First, the phantoma system is absolutely LOADS better. But also, I think the balance is actually sane. I knew that the demo felt out of whack. Everything just feels "correct" now. Camera-wise, though, I'm not seeing much of an improvement. Will keep playing and see how it goes.

 

[Kagari]

Track 13 on disc 1 is Prelude, for anyone interested.

Get hype!~

Which is Final Fantasy? I really want to hear it.

 

[AuthenticM]

Is the track Final Fantasy the one heard when crossing the bridge in the original game?

 

[Toth]

Excellent rendition of the theme. It does have that school feel to it as well.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Early impressions are sounding good! I'm really tempted, but I'll try to hold out and hope a Vita release in English comes through.

Is the track Final Fantasy the one heard when crossing the bridge in the original game?

Yes, it's traditionally been the "main theme" of the series.

 

[Toth]

You got it.

Nice regarding everything else but the camera.

This is probably going to be a "maybe" purchase for Christmas, then... depending on how people feel about the camera. If it continues to be lacklustre, I might wait until Vita.

 

[AuthenticM]

Alright! I wonder why there are some Final Fantasies that don't have it. VII and X come to mind. I remember when I first booted XII and heard it in the gorgeous intro video; I had goosebumps! I'm glad it's back.

So far I've been doing okay just double tapping R to center it. I don't even bother trying to control it manually.

 

[HappyBivouac]

I wish I could play this, but regardless, I must say:

That OP.

...it's beautiful.

It was in VII. It was in the ending credits. The only games that don't have Final Fantasy are II, X, X-2, XIII, and I assume XIII-2.

I'm listening through the OST and it's so, so good. Seriously. I will be burning up this soundtrack for months.

XII has it.

It's been years since I beat VII; I guess I forgot. And by XII I take it you mean XIII?

 

[brandonh83]

holy FUCK this Chocobo remix... DID NOT EXPECT

 

[B.K.]

XII has it.

Missed a I. Meant XIII.

It's been years since I beat VII; I guess I forgot.

[Aeana]

I love Ace's ability set. The different things he can do with his "deck open" command, like heal himself or heal his MP using his ability gauge is pretty rad.

 

[Toth]

XIII kinda has the prelude theme when you consider this is part of the XIII series:

Final Fantasy- Fabula Nova Crystallus Legend

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwFlVr6ceXg&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLA18D352C51D0EA38

I still feel this is a slight remix of Dissidia's Prelude theme but this is still FF13 related and official so....yeah.

 

[charlequin]

It was in VII. It was in the ending credits. The only games that don't have Final Fantasy are II, X, X-2, XIII, and I assume XIII-2.

XII does too have Final Fantasy in it. And I should know, I played that version at the end of my fucking wedding.

 

[B.K.]

XII does too have Final Fantasy in it.

I know it does. It was a typo.

 

[AuthenticM]

I know it does. It was a typo.

Where was it in IX though? Credits?

 

[B.K.]

Where was it in IX though? Credits?

Yeah. It's starts right after Melodies of Life ends.

 

[Aeana]

I really regret playing the demo because it soured me on the game. The full game explains everything better, has a more balanced difficulty, and of course has many gameplay improvements over the demo.

Moral that we already knew: RPG demos suck.

 

[Epcott]

Damn Kagari, you and Bruce Leroy make GAF proud.


I hope this is released on PSN soon after its U.S. release... I'd really rather play this on Vita so I can control the camera with ease using the second stick (hopefully). This game looks amazing.

 

[Aeana]

I think my biggest complaint so far is that you have to level up each character individually. Fortunately, you can "grind" by redoing old missions from the mission list on the title screen, but honestly that still kinda stinks. It just makes the risk in using special orders even greater, because if one of your main people dies, you're stuck with an underleveled substitute.

 

[Man God]

The only RPG demo I've ever liked was the one for FF VIII.

 

[B.K.]

The best RPG demos were both Lunar demos. They were both the first two-three hours of each game.

 

[Grinchy]

Wow, I love how the OP is a picture and it has revolving screenshots within. That is fucking cool.

I really wish I could get a confirmation of an English version, though. I would be perfectly fine with subtitles even =(

 

[Aeana]

Also, after playing a couple of missions and trying all of the different characters, I think Ace is my favorite to control by far. It may change as I power up the spells and I can start relying on them for the occasions when I have need a ranged attack, but Ace really has it all. Ranged attack, wonderful speed, and his deck command is fantastic. It can heal HP, heal MP, and even cast stop on enemies. I don't want to pigeonhole myself in with one character, though, so I'm going to keep rotating and see if I can find a couple I like controlling in addition to Ace. Right now, Rem is my #2 but her daggers are so short-range.

 

[Polo67]

Will there be a way to play this on the Vita?
