Great news. Nice to have confirmation.

I do find myself exited for this. I played a lot of it on 360 and got so uniterested I think I could not bother putting the disk in; years later I realized the level up and combat system might be slightly above average and I would have needed to see more of it... Anyhow... HYPE! I will get this and play t to the end; I'm even starting a new FFXII IJS file right now to hold me until unlock.

 

[Thoraxes]

Yet it was an open world game with a million quests... so what does that make XIII, a linear game with no diversions to speak of, aside from a tiny open world quest area? Talk about "lacking content".

I think you need an adjective before talking about the content. Like, both games had a ton of content, but it had different values of being meaningful depending on who you ask.

 

[Red Comet]

Was hoping we'd have GMG codes by now, but I guess that's not going to happen. Oh, well, it's not like I would have had much time tonight anyway.

Ah okay, I'm a more story-inclined person so I prefer more character interaction.

 

[HeelPower]

What about it so bothered you? I still say it was one of the best FF endings in the entire series. Major spoilers!!!

Spoiler

The scene where the universe is born, along with the music, and Mog's goodbye are absolutely beautiful and rank up there with the most moving FF scenes ever. Was the epilogue scene that bad? I never gave it much value tbh

.

It doesn't make sense from a lore perspective and it doesn't nicely tie up the original character arcs.

Its too convenient, too cheesy and without real effort put into it.

and too short.

[Dizzy-4U]

I only see english voices in my region (South America). Oh well, I was gonna play it in english either way.

 

[munchie64]

Still no GMG key huh? Well guess I'm not gonna be playing this weekend lol

I am in South America too and it says both English and Japanese for me.

IT'S HAPPENING!

Will suck dick for FF XIII. Only one I haven't played Well, that, and the two sequels.

Oh yes, I'm an idiot. The orange box text is different from the list on the side.

Well 120fps sure looks pretty nice but I'm happy with 60 in an rpg

 

[Anteater]

 

[Rainy]

How is the Japanese voice acting for FF13 actually? I've never really listened to it.

 

[Caffeine]

well at least asian region gets interface and english subs.

You're on the wrong board I'm afraid

 

[cafemomo]

Last chance to win a copy of XIII~

aight, like I promised, I'll be giving away another copy of XIII (this time for steam)


My favorite FF titles are VI, VIII, X, XIII and Crystal Chronicles.

PM me your experiences/stories with one of those titles above and I'll choose one that I like the most on this Thursday by 3PM CST

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

I think Heel's reason is the same as mine,

Spoiler

we knew next to NOTHING about what happened to the characters, their lives, what they were doing after everything. Character-based closure, not story-based closure.

In general the games are really stingy in providing character-based context. It gives you all the drama, intrigues, things in motion, but doesn't build up the motivation. For example, why the heck are Snow and Serah attracted to each other, anyway? Till the end I never knew, and thus I couldn't care much for Snow's plight.

I remember somebody, in this thread or the other one, complained that Lightning rarely acts like she even likes her sister at all, then somebody answered that she obviously cares for Serah in the prologue novella. Having to rely on supplemental material for characterization really, really don't put the game in a good light.

 

[Usobuko]

We been shafted for years by some of the publishers, about time.

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

The only thing I saw was that a 720p supported monitor was a minimum requirement for the game. Are there actual reports confirming a resolution lock?

No, not at all. It's just the one remaining major unknown, and I don't quite trust SE enough not to fuck it up.

 

[2San]

That guy can't be serious.

No, he's serious. PC ports without unlocked framerate and resolutions are sub par ports. I don't know why certain Japanese devs have such a hard time with meeting the PC industry standards.

 

[Hikami]

At first I thought

Yep.. haha

Nice to see it being confirmed though, guess I'll play with Japanese dubs this time to make it a bit different from when I last played it.

 

[GavinUK86]

At first I thought

That's..... not... what he meant?

 

[bbd23]

i need PC screens!

I agree with what he's saying but not how he's saying it. Uncapped framerates should be the norm.

 

[iosefe]

it's ok, i thought it too

now i really want GLaDOS in japanese

Thank you both for posting a legitimate reason. I do agree that the ending was lacking that aspect.

Spoiler

Thankfully, the novels covered that need and I am satisfied with the ending of the series.

not just that..I also don't like how its super random and convenient and inconsistent with lore.

But we can discuss that later.

[CuckFupertino]

Did somebody say that 60fps was confirmed?

And we're all pretty sure that it'll display at 720p? Or maybe 1080...? Maybe...?

#durantesaveus

 

[Nethaniah]

I know we're not gonna get it but i would be interested in the profits of this port, like a "we got the development costs back in 48 hours" or a similar statement.

Good. Every sale is one step closer to this.

 

[neptunes]

There's no way XV doesn't come to PC, but high sales of XIII could prompt them to bring X, and XII over
