This looks like a Counter Strike 1.6 map ( ≖‿≖)
 
Is it the video encoding or does the game looks really choppy in the town segment of the trailer? That UI during battle looked really confusing too.

I think it's the video encoding,they messed it up at GT and thats why they pulled it....I hope that's it,Imean some town in FFXIII-2 where just gorgeous,surely this game can't be this bland looking...
 
Meh, looks like the camera tracking system for battles is the same.
Thats the one thing I hated about FFXIII.
Constant zooming in and out, left and right. It's just all over the place.
And I can't believe they brought back chocolina :(
Give me some real shops toriyama.
 
Of course we should have seen this coming you know.

Wada realized Square was fucked with what XIII turned into.

The decree was handed down to shorten dev cycles on mainline FF games / major games in general. 2 years or so for big games. But there was no way they could about face to plan and execute the next actual Final Fantasy game on a dime.

So instead they've been sticking to the letter of the law by quickly assembling stuff out of the bones and assets of FF XIII. Wasn't there a suspicion that much of FF XIII-2 was made out of environments made for XIII but never used?

For this game, they probably did have to make wholly original content, but it's Square. No way they could make assets too elaborate in such a short timeframe. We've seen no indication that their internal development environment has changed or even started to change.

I think, if you want to hold out any hope for Square moving forward, this is your only scenario: while a relatively small crew worked on XIII-2 and XIII-3, others have been planning and prototyping Final Fantasy 15, in preparation for full production as soon as XIII-3 is out the door.

This is what I was just now thinking. They recycle reuse. Are these games $60?
 
"However, even in this metropolis lies darkness"

*a total of 5 NPCs are in the empty town*

The final journey of lighting? About freaking time they end it. I hope she dies at the end.

XIII has 3 characters, XIII-2 has 2 characters, so I guess it's natural that this one only has 1 character?

Game looks horrible. Her stupid cape tech looked good though. Is this Assassin's Creed XIII?

SO WHERE'S FF XIII VS, GUYS?

/foaming mouth, teary eyed hate.
 
Her outfit still looks dumb and out of place when she is running. Also the framerate was awful, really hope they fix it up before the game is released. Town looks empty and boring, so much for showcasing awesome architecture.

One cool aspect is the combat. From the looks of it, I don't have to navigate through countless menus, but with one character only I don't know if it will be very fun.

They really need to make changes in their Final Fantasy team, this is just bad. I guess there are to many persons in responsible positions who are considered "untouchable". At least the other devs at Square Enix are capable of delivering modern and good games.

They have about 4 Final Fantasy teams, you gotta be more specific.
 
Wow, didn't really like what I saw. The town looks kinda meh, and ouch at that framerate. Also, Lightning's outfit looks dumb.
 
Her shades look terrible. Kinda looks like Assassin's Creed.
 
Lightning Returns: Keep Your Receipts

or

Lightning Returns: Some Restrictions Apply

You don't need to add a subtitle it's already in there: Lightning Returns. It's named like that to show how fast people will be giving the game back.
 
in my opinion this did not look very good. the video was stuttering, the costume looked like assassin's creed, the voice is liara and it was distracting, backgrounds looks bland and dated.

it's not for me and i was never going to play this, but it didn't look very good in my opinion.
 
What's funny about that subway scene, is that you see all these people wearing normal clothes and then BAM, Lightning Returns.

Also that sword is way too huge to be swinging with one hand, but when you're a goddess I guess you don't give a fuck.
 
wth did i just watch...?

How did FFXIII go from the graphical showcase we saw when it was unveiled at E3 to...this??
 
That looked Ok I guess, the battle system didn't seem to be changed as much as I expected, but it was good.

I'm not really too interested in this game to tell the truth, I just hope that after this we can move on from FF XIII, because even though the games have not been as bad as some people say, in my opinion they have been mediocre at best.
