these guys in their interview asked Kitase about composer and they've said more will be announced other than Hamauzu, it was kinda obvious.
also you can save anywhere.

I actually thought that CGI was fucking insanely awesome, despite the fact I could barely tell what was going on in it.Fimbulvetr said:
At least it was an instance of S-E bringing Eidolons into an FMV, which we hadn't really seen to such a degree since IX.

It was pretty at least, but not being able to tell what was going on was kinda my issue(also it was filled with superfluous stuff for the sake of it, like it was trying to attract people with shiny objects).
I think the scene with Shiva freezing that public center in Palumpolum is probably my least favorite though, if only for how contrived it is plot wise.
ZephyrFate said:
Would been nicer, if any of the Eidolons in XIII were as cool as non-transformer Alexander or Bahamut. Their fight in IX is simple and short yet it always gets me way more excited.

I'm trying to think of what my favorite FMV was in the game... I think I'm gonna go with the opening. It just makes Lightning look so totally badass, and gave me huge FFVII vibes.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Yeah, I liked FFXIII's intro FMV and opening song.
Though the opening song sounded a bit "underwhelming" during the "peak" part, but it's not bad nonetheless.

Playing through FFXIII right now and so far(Chapter 5) this is some of the dumbest shit I have ever witnessed from a jRPG.
XIII-2 has a LOT to fix for amends....or not. It has become very clear that Final Fantasy is barely recognizable anymore, as the premiere RPG franchise it once was. I personally feel no longer a member of the demographic this sort of thing is pawned to.
Also, how old is Serah? I mean Snow looks like her father in this cutscenes.

Never thought random NPCs could be heavy handed.

23?
She's like a MILF in anime years.

FFX's ending made me bawl my eyes out when I was younger. I wonder if I'd feel the same now? Probably yes... that ending theme was something else.
Yes, it was. Figured that'd be the case. It was bothering me for a while. Though I doubt the other style is Nakano's. His is rather distinct as well... unless he arranges something and it turns out to be similar to Desperate Struggle.miladesn said:
So... they're still using the Crystarium (though there are some changes that they can't discuss at the moment), but the monsters level up another way.
They're using Serah to underscore the theme of family ties in this game, and because she played such an important role in FFXIII (she changed into a crystal and Lightning was trying to save her. In FFXIII-2 the world is upside down and Serah is looking for Lightning instead).
They introduced Noel (who has never been on Cocoon) and they want to use him as a main character because they want the game to be interesting and accessible to everyone, even if they haven't played FFXIII. (I'm guessing that it'll be similar to FFX's storytelling with Tidus constantly asking questions and everyone else explaining things to him.)
You can save anywhere. That's nice to hear.
With regards to the length: They don't know how for sure how many hours of cinematics the game will have, but the story will probably take around 40 hours to complete. But there's more to do this time around, and you can play it more than once for a different ending.
"Is there a New Game+": No, but we have something better and different in mind? (Hmm? I thought other interviews implied otherwise...)
When will FFXIII-2 be available: This December in Japan, and early 2012 for Europe.

In a game like XIII-2, being able to save anywhere makes sense. The battle-retry option of XIII made it almost redundant to save any other time than when you wanted to quit. Being able to save anywhere is more or less an evolution of that system.

Also - no Snow, even his old crew is in the trailer, what gives?

Droplet said:
In theory Vanille was that character, but she never asked questions because if she did she would have been outed as someone from Pulse.
The conext of the story pretty much made it impossible to do what they did with Tidus.

Great DNA. Snow has chosen wisely.
Fimbulvetr said:
They should have just made her act incredibly stupid. She could've used that whole 'sleeping in history class' excuse the entire time and nobody would've batted an eyelash.

That's true for new characters but usually returning characters are shown from day one as they are just that - characters we have seen before. I'm sure it's for story purposes though.miladesn said:
Unless Serah went through a rough divorce and doesn't want to talk about it.

There will probably be a kiss with Noel followed by a "I can't".
miladesn said:She's now 23 years old actually!
edit: late.
She's 23; that's great! I'll happily accept a younger-looking person in their 20s over a teenager.
Unrelated, but where did that screen shot come from? The sign seems to say CYPRESS; could that be the name of this
HD!!

Because they're morons, yes.
Unfortunately that would make it jarring for whoever is playing the game seeing the characters act stupid(well, more stupid than they already are).
Hope's age would probably a good excuse to not have him know stuff.

''I have a sister though''. Noel gets together with Lightning - and an abusive relationship is formed (on his end).Sword Familiar said:

He'll get used to wearing make-up to cover the shame. "Did, did Lightning do this to you?" "I... fell."
Fimbulvetr said:
Even the questions she did ask were stupid enough to get her outed.
Looking at a picture of the chief executive of Cocoon: "Who is this guy?"
"Do people really hate Pulse that much?"
"Nautilus Park? What's that?"
I was kind of surprised at the time that Sazh never batted an eyelash.

Yep.Jerk said:
Every party member outside of Serah and Noel will be completely disconnected from the main story.
Also you can make good and evil choices that effect Mog's physical status.
If you do evil stuff his Crystal pompom will turn sanguine red and he'll become dark-skinned with glowing cracks all over his body. Also he starts cursing instead of saying kupo.

I thought that already was a curse word? Like, Mooglolian for "fuck off" or something. Maybe it just means "idiot".

Hahahahahahaha!!Dunan said:
That place doesn't look like a "Cypress". Sounds like the name for a nightclub.
*gasp* Perhaps this will happen in some form, if it is a nightclub!
Kidding, it's probably the name of something in that town. Perhaps the town itself going with your theory.
I can see the fanfiction being written already.Sword Familiar said:
Naw, Lightning's (in all seriousness) is probably going to get with that other dude... who's probably Noel's brother. I don't know.Appollowexx said:

Now that is just plain wrong, lol. Child Protective Services side quests.Fimbulvetr said:
Dunan said:
from the demo, the name of this area is Bresha Ruins, chapter 3 from FFXIII (the crystal lake and the ruins after it)
the sign says Chocobo Express
looking at ohter subtitles there are some good things: (watch the gamespot video)
"The rain isn't artificial - it's the real thing" (well, fal'cie are no more)
"The people at the Academy..." (there is an Academy!)
