I liked advent children, dont really give a **** about how the hardcore elitist dicks view the movie.
Final Fantasy X was the best FF last gen.
MechaShiva sounds retarded.
Why is amirox so unhappy?

It looks amazing in those scans, I never have the time for Final Fantasy but I always pick them up because I loved them when I was younger and had more free time. This should be jaw dropping, and really the chick turning into a motorcycle isn't that big a deal, racing f'ing chocobos was more embarrasing.
So, I read this thread through quickly, but if I understand correctly, Amirox you don't like the fact that Shiva can transform into a motorcycle?
I think I'm gonna have to agree. It doesn't feel like Final Fantasy, well at least to me anyway. Maybe it will be very cool, I'm gonna have to so know more about it.

I think the reason im excited for FFXIII is that its pretty different to the other final fantasys, it's set in a metalic future and well, doesn't seem to be in an "old age" theme like 9 and 12 are.
Phantasy star has spoiled me for themes.

Maybe it's juste for a single combined attack with a cutscene.
You ride shiva, she gives you speed + ice power and after the attack she run away.
FFIX has Arck who is a transformer and I don't find the cutscene weird.

I don't really mind. Shiva, Ifrit, Alexander, etc "are" airships in FFXII. The summons(in "walking" mode or whatever) probably won't look anything like the classic designs, anyway. Would you people had thrown shitfests if the ugly and useless pieces of shit espers in FF12 had been named after FF6's espers? 
They're just names.
I'll reserve my judgement until I see clearer media, but I really don't mind something new coming out of this series.
edit: well uh it really is Shiva riding a bike...

Those scans are amazing, first I've seen.
I really have a good feeling about XIII.

Oh, Final Fantasy.
I truly and genuinely believe that the minds behind Final Fantasy have become somewhat warped due to the franchise's success and the assignment of great depth and symbolism by fans when it really isn't there, similar to what has happened to George Lucas. Don't get me wrong, Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back are my favorite films but when fans take shit way too far, we've seen what happens. Lucas gets delusions of grandeur, tries to make his awesome epic masterpieces to live up to the legend--but it's just lame.
I'm not saying FFXIII will be a bad game by any means, but I definitely have been seeing some of that attitude in this series for a while now. I don't know who the hell would actually think a summon turning into a motorcycle is actually awesome but with the existence of works like Advent Children it's quite clear that the creators think stuff like this is just the pinnacle of...something. I was hoping FFXII was a step in the right direction but I'm not too confident in this game. I'm sure it will be very well made in many respects and people will love the hell out of it and reviewers will invent new scoring scales just to give it as much praise as possible. I just hope it doesn't get too wrapped up in itself to the point of utter lunacy.

Chris Remo said:
You realize that a lot of people love Advent Children right?
You also realize you sound pretty dumb for coming to retarded conclusions based on a ****ing SUMMON POWER. Holy shit, some of you live to overexaggerate.
Just stfu and wait until, oh I don't know, someone in the world plays it or we see more than 5 screen shots.

I'm drawing these conclusions based on several games, a movie, and various details.
Well I do think it'll probably play pretty well.

I actually agree. Except I've never had any use for FF, or any other RPG not named Panzer Saga. But it's been amusing reading the reactions on both sides of the ledger. This honestly doesn't sound anymore stupid to me then any of the other shit this series has had before. But I can certainly understand why longtime fans are pissed. :lol
The Shadow pic is poignant BTW...the entire forum ripped the game to pieces simply because of pics showing him holding a gun and riding a bike. Yet half the same people are mortified that the same thing is being done to FFXIIIIII, or whatever the **** the number is. It seems that prejudging negatively is only a sin when it's done to a series that they jack off to. But I knew that already.

:lol Gotta admit I found that a little funny as well. But I think some people just have limits of what makes sense and doesn't make sense in a particular fantasy world. As Pureauthor mentioned, it's all about the context within that world. So again, I understand where the negative reaction comes from...even though it's all the same pile of smelly shit to me. :lol

All the other fantastical shit aside, there IS something wacked out about a Summon being turned into an inanimate object like a motorcycle. It also reeks of tring to be "cool" blargh. Theres a reason the real FF fans are reacting this way.

I'd say I'm definitely a "real" FF fan, but I'm always willing to give anything a shot. Yes, it sounds stupid, but I like the look of it. However, you're right, it reeks of trying to be "cool" and that's something I don't really like. It's why I hated Advent Children.

You're really, already, basing the quality of the entire game over this one thing?
I know its a wacky idea, but I really like the look of FFXIII. If those shots are real-time, then holy tits thats when the PS3 will really take off.
Hopefully the characters are interesting this time around, but they look a bit generic so far. People like FF7 i feel because of the really whacked out cast. FF8 reigned it in a bit, but their personalities were made more 3 dimensional and interesting. FF9 was too whacked out for my tastes, and I think I hated everyone in FFX. FFXII's cast does nothing for me either, a bit too plain.
I'm certainly very interested in how this fluid combat battle system is going to work.
I audibly groaned aloud reading that. Thanks for my 'GAF makes me die inside' moment of the day.

Nah, I meant the "FF vs. XIII is our only hope" comment, as if you already know XIII is going to suck. Not calling you out or anything, I don't enjoy getting into online battles over a videogame (seriously!) but I don't know, I'd just have to see a lot more crappy things than this before I issue out a verdict.

I don't know. I mean, the look and style of FFXIII is awesome, no doubt. But a Summon turning into a Motorcycle?
I'll have to see how its implimented but at this moment it just sounds goofy to me.disappeared

I don't even know why I'm arguing. I enjoyed the motorcycle chase sequence in FFVII.

Yeah, I find this thread weird. The classic summons were turned into names of Airships in FFXII, and in their place were some of the most stupid, worthless, and forgettable esper/summons in the entire series. But hey, it was Matsuno so it was ok.
FFXIII + Nomura + Summons used differently again = OH TEH NOES! IT'S A BIKE! IT'S DOOMED!
Well played GAF, living up to expectations.
