Wouldn't surprise me at all. FF13 already has vocal music, and FF10-2 had some hip hoppy music. Shouldn't be too bad. Plus just look at how well it worked for Persona 3.The Xtortionist said:So this IGN article claims the game has rap music? They bullshitting?

New characters: During a mission to Cocoon, Serah is accompanied by a brown-haired soldier named Noal and a moogle named Mog.

Final Fantasy XIII producer Yoshinori Kitase told Eurogamer that fans demand top-of-the-line visuals from the core series, leaving them no choice but to restrict the franchise to high definition machines.
"If you're talking about the main Final Fantasy titles, one of the strong focuses of the series is cutting edge graphics. That's what people enjoy and that's what people associate Final Fantasy with," he insisted.
"In that sense I would like to assure our users of this top quality artistic visual achievement. To do that we have to stick with high definition consoles."
Kitase added that Square will continue to concentrate handheld development on franchise spin-offs, such as the Tactics or Crisis Core series.
"Though the main Final Fantasy franchise has always been with top definition consoles, Crisis Core, for example, has been very successful on PSP. So those smaller projects we'll consider for PSP2 or 3DS."
While that was the end of our hands-on, Square Enix showed us another section of the game, this time featuring XIII's heroine Lightning. The level opened with Lightning falling from the sky and landing on Odin, all while being chased by a very angry looking Bahamut. As Bahamut launched energy projectiles and vicious looking swipes at the fleeing Lightning, the camera swept across the scene, showcasing the beautiful ruins of a city in the stormy background. Lightning continued to fight off Bahamut from atop Odin, with her new suit of armour protecting her from attacks. We noticed that Lightning's health, attack power, and level were much higher than those of the characters we saw earlier. Square Enix told us that she starts the game with at a much higher level than the others--a concession to the fact that her heroic deeds saved the world in the last game, and as such she is already extremely powerful.
I remember when it was shocking that FF had metal music in FFX.... or full on vocal chanting for the last boss in VII.... Pop and vocal songs were once unusual too. Now that stuff is predictable for FFs...The Xtortionist said:So this IGN article claims the game has rap music? They bullshitting?

FFXIII had pop, FFXIII-2 has rap.
FFXVI will have rap, FFXVI-2 will have dubstep.
That's nice, although I guess that would mean it'll take some game time before we actually get to play with her (I'm only now catching up on all the E3 news, so I don't know if they already mentioned it).miladesn said:http://e3.gamespot.com/story/631819...ii-2-hands-on-preview?tag=top_stories;title;1
this part is from the private demo (not on showfloor), gamespot's impressions.
Spencer said:Even though everyone thinks Lightning is dead, she is a playable character in Final Fantasy XIII-2. Attendees didnt see her on the show floor, but in a behind closed doors meeting Square Enix showed a fight between Lightning and Chaos Bahamut.
Before the battle, Lightning jumped on Odin. The camera panned to city ruins and Chaos Bahamut flew from the sky and into Lightnings path. The camera continued to move during the battle where Lighting rode Odin while Chaos Bahamut lunged at her.
Lightning saved the world in Final Fantasy XIII, so she is not a level 1 character in Final Fantasy XIII-2. She retains powerful attacks, five selectable commands, and pelted Chaos Bahamut with thousands of points of damage. Compare that to Serah and newcomer Noel who scratch out a couple hundred HP per strike on weak enemies.
The battle galloped on until a cinematic action where Lightning jumped on a falling building and cut into Chaos Bahamut. Like other cinematic actions, players had to trigger quick time events.
Square Enix wouldnt say anything else about where Lightning is other than promising a reveal at Tokyo Game Show. Final Fantasy XIII-2 is slated for a winter release in North America and Europe. Japan gets the game in December.

That's assuming they're going to become l'Cie...Unless, some other massively overlooked thing will roll in and give them the power to use magic and Eidolons.Fimbulvetr said:I just realized we should be getting new Eidolons for Noel and Serah, hopefully they aren't too funny.
It really does...DMPrince said:Just watching the dev walkthrough. I can't help but to think the Star Ocean Team is making this game lol.
I hate his MC Hammer pants.miladesn said:Noel, from his cloths, looks like to be a Pulse native . He's probably already a l'cie and just woke up from crystal sleep.. that's what I think anyway.

this is a bit from their interview I think.
RPGCrazied said:So this year or not? At the end of the trailer it says early 2012. And from the updated info it says this winter? Thats not making any sense if Japan gets it in December. I guess January is still considered winter? Blah. I hate waiting.
M_Night said:Looking forward to Kagari's interview with Kitase. Hopefully we get some new info.
Dec for Japan and most likely Jan or Feb for us, still counts as Winter.RPGCrazied said:So this year or not? At the end of the trailer it says early 2012.
