How is it, Kagari? Does it have a better feel than the original game?Kagari said:Hi guys. That's me playing btw.
The Xtortionist said:Story is the usual Toriyama bullshit. Characters look ridiculous. Dialogue is cringe-worthy. They're still not localizing out those Japanese exclamations (gasps etc...).
Maybe I'm just over Final Fantasy. We'll see.
rhfb said:Can't wait. I'm in the minority in that I actually enjoyed FFXIII. Probably won't get this day 1 (waiting for the drop to $40 isn't that hard), but I'll be picking it up for sure.
Kagari said:I'm still at the Sony event. Impressions will be up later tonight.

I'd seriously rather have that than the tripe FFXIII actually tried to pass off as dialogue.djtiesto said:Yup, they should really start localizing out those Japanese exclamations with grunts and generic military dialogue (tangos sighted!), in order to succeed in the west...
Vanille was just a badly written character. A better voice actress would have helped, but only so much.Teknoman said:I liked XIII's
- Characters (Vanille could've worked with a better voice)
- Music
- Enemy design
- Environment art style

Rpgmonkey said:So...
-Level/area design that isn't a super repetitive line?
-We get Gil from all battles?
-Somewhat interesting addition to combat?
-We can recruit monsters (if it's anything like the monster capture system of FFX-2 International, I expect something awesome)?
-Enhanced monster encounter system?
Dammit, I'm kinda hyped. All I need to see is a Crystarium system and Weapon Upgrade system that don't suck.
Yes. I just played through the entire demo.Magnus said:Kagari - XIII-2 is playable there?

...I know. The QTE stuff is kind of odd for me, but I'm interested in what role it'll play. I hope the narrative doesn't get irritating after a while.Rpgmonkey said:So...

Lightning is playable too, see the trailer.Gunloc said:My main concern has now shifted entirely to the amount of playable characters. I really don't want it to consist of just Serah and Noel with some random monsters.
DotNW was just a terrible game, and not just because of its party setup... It was far worse than the original in every way.ZephyrFate said:Honestly, kinda looks like Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World HD. Male main character, female main character, monsters.
Kinda disappointed. Will probably buy it anyway.
The story's going to be shit, just like its predecessor; but shitty stories have hardly prevented past FF games from being fun. The battle system only needs a few tweaks to it; give me a good explorable world, better-differentiated characters, and a bunch of fun sidequests in addition to the main game and I'll be pleased as punch. Oh, and a leveling and weapon upgrade system that isn't literally "pour the points into the bucket until it's full."Seda said:And a story that makes isn't melodramatic, interesting antagonists, likeable protagonists, etc...
But we need to see more.

Par for the FF course.Khezu said:That's a really stupid looking sword.
E3's not over.ULTROS! said:Versus XIII having a presence at E3 (even a slight).
Yeah, I saw that. But it seems her parts will be separate, at least at the beginning.darkhunger said:Lightning is playable too, see the trailer.
Yes, they're kind of bothering me a little. It's like SE saw what was in current blockbuster games like ME, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, etc and decided to throw it all in there.badcrumble said:Leery about QTE and dialog choice - seems like focus-group-driven flailing about - but those features won't hurt the game, they just bespeak a possible lack of courage in direction.
Whatever it is they are doing, SE has been far too out-of-touch as of late, so its nice to see that they are actually learning about what their fans like to see in an FF game (i.e. being inspired by Call of Duty is not one of those things)...badcrumble said:Leery about QTE and dialog choice - seems like focus-group-driven flailing about - but those features won't hurt the game, they just bespeak a possible lack of courage in direction.
The site calls him a "seinen", so he's probably over 18. Older teens at the very least.RPGCrazied said:Noel is hot though at least.
I hope he is over 18? if not I retract my statement. lol
Gunloc said:Yeah, I saw that. But it seems her parts will be separate, at least at the beginning.
But even that isn't enough. FFXIII's small cast of playable characters was an issue for me, and I'm worried that this may have an even smaller group of party members. I'm probably getting ahead of myself, but not seeing any of the original main cast besides Lightning is a bit troublesome.
I'd really just like to see everyone return (though Hope can stay home), with some new characters added in. And make Gadot and Lebreau permanent.
