Lol I was just about to ask this too. He was so adamant the game had mountains a week ago.

They're not going to reveal what I expect to be the last dungeon in any event before release. I still expect the fourth continent (hopefully the mountain, anyway anything behind those clouds) to make an apperance throughout the game, just wait and see. Available to any bet you wanna make
And... again, if it isn't there, who cares? The game is awesome already and that world is going to be the best setting in an RPG I'll play in this generation.
I'll also enjoy seeing how many players will be playing LR after the enthusiasm iwll spread through reviews and players' feedback once releases. Just wait and see... we'll remember LR for the next years to come and for positive reasons. It's going to be one of the best FF evah.

Sounds almost like Lightning Returns Xtreme Beach Volleyball.

Great start on GAF.
You are entering in my list of biggest Lightning haters. I will be stalking you from now on.
Joking. 
though comparing it to DOAX is actually a compliment in my eyes. Love that game <3

Okay.
JP-D/US-C-cups don't jiggle as much whenever you swing your arms provided that you have the proper support, though...

Every day I pray for new DOAX for Vita/PS3 with the new models.

The screenshot at the top of that article really leaves the impression that, whatever Lightning's character was before, she is now a dress-up sex doll.
This explains everything.
That's the XIV Miquo'te starter gear cross-over dealio.

God fucking damn it. I can't wait for this game but they keep doing shit like this. Can someone tell them to make this jiggle crap completly optional for fucks sake.

Goddamn now I want a Tifa game with insane amounts of jiggle. Super HD and all that shit, checkin' out all her pores.
personally, I think people are overreacting quite a lot about it.
It looks like gaming should always be super-serious business. As long as the game is good (and from the preview I saw, it seems to be at the very least interesting) who cares if there's a bunch of fanservice? quite obviously a lot of people enjoy it (within measure, I do too), I say let them.
The funny part is that a lot of those that now defend lightning's alleged purity are the ones that always bashed her.

What are the odds that there will be "Nude Princess" outfit?
Or Toriyama's dakimakura with description "Lightning's biggest treasure, her love, her husband, her rose. +999 to every stat"?

I can....If I try very hard....understand such amount of fanservice on a FF.
I can't understand why they talk so proud of it and promote it as an actual feature. The whole interview is creepy as hell.
With the whole increase of objections to sexualtion in the west media, seems another good step to make FF even more irrelevant.

Most polished boobs of the FF franchise.
They could have picked something that didn't make her look like a dress-up sex doll, even the outfit for human female, with its hideously short skirt, would have been better. It doesn't come with cat ears and tail, for one.
I'm sorry, but what is this? So you'd accept and support a game where a male character constantly drops sex jokes at females and the girls dress in bikinis for combat if the gameplay is good?
I'm hardly defending Lightning's purity. What I'm aghast at is the sexualization of a character whose written character (aloof, impassive) doesn't fit with all these costumes and dress up nonsense. Moreover, the continued elevation of this pandering, sexualized character as some kind of ideal character that I should love, as if these physical elements of bigger boobs and sexier poses and clothing should make her more appealing to me.

Eh... Purity what? Purity is not the same as self respect.

Lol...Toriyama should make a game with the Compile Hearts people. And get Imageepoch to code and design the game.
"Most polished Imageepoch game ever!"
"The game combines the best elements of time traveling from FFXIII-2, Time and Eternity and The Third Birthday to make the best Toriyama story to date!"
"Compile Hearts pulls together their artists to make 100 costumes for the main character"
EDIT: I'm suddenly reminded that the battle system of LR is kind of like The Last Ranker's.

They've gone so far that they're breaking her established characterization. That's what's aggravating me. Pander all you want, but not at the expense of established characterization. If they did this with Bayonetta and I'd be 100% fine since that's her character. That is not Lightning's character, and if it is, then they've done a shitty job at conveying that over the past 4 years.
And if this were a story like Bayonetta, I'd say "whatever". Story isn't the reason you play Bayonetta. With Final Fantasy XIII, the entire game was based around the story. In XIII-2, you still got over 7 hours of cutscenes. We'll probably get another 6 to 7 hours of cutscenes in this game. Keep with your flipping established characterizations.
If they made Bayonetta a demure, shy, and conservative secretary in Bayonetta 2, I'd raise just as much hell. Bayonetta is a sexually confident, over the top, "I'll do what I want" woman. If Revy of Black Lagoon all of a sudden hated killing, lost her blood lust, and became a nun I'd be through the f'ing roof over that since that's not her character. This isn't about "purity" or me being a prude, this is about keeping true to the character. Lightning never struck me as someone who would sexually grind over a dead corpse, but hey, maybe the writing in XIII was so bad that they meant to convey that but failed.
Chocolina costume would be perfect to test out dem jiggle physics they have been blabbing about.
In all seriousness, I am kinda disappointed with some of this fanservice. (Don't get me wrong though, some of the fanservice they presented is bretty gud, I'll be guaranteed to have sleepless exciting nights in November) But I was really hoping that LR would help make people take the XIII saga a little bit more seriously or even like it. Instead, it's done the opposite.

This is so unreal. This game is all what an FF should be: huge world to explore freely, lots of customization, lots of content, graphics, style, music... it's, again, the most ambitious and interesting FF from 2006, maybe even more ambitious than what XII was at its time. It's a dream come true for any FF fan and I might add for any jRPG lover. This could be the title the finally takes the genre into 2013 and further. Its legacy could be quite huge and important if not for that stupid spin off name they decided to title they game with.
Critics will love it, players will spread the love around once releases. The title will be both successfull critically and sales-wise once everyone gets to understand HOW GOOD it is. Just few months to November to have the first impressions and an idea of how this plays out.
BTW, lots of spoilers... the first hour of gameplay:

WoW you're going to be so disappointed by sales and reviews in the west and you're clearly overhyping the game. BTW famitsu is going to give this game 40/40 no doubt lol.
breast jiggle too? True successor to FF7 is coming ^_^ this is clearly what has been lacking...
Looking back at their comments before FF13 release about Lightning character and what's happening right now is quite amusing.
graphics? lots of content? etc etc, well I guess we'll see, huh. Their past efforts don't give much confidence to say the least....
And the rest.... Perfo is going be a sad sad panda when this game comes out.

First-time-ever boob physics for a Final Fantasy? I'm genuinely excited.
It wasn't visible even in that FFXIV tube top, where could it be?!

I think this game will be pretty much exactly like FF X-2.
The gameplay will be good but everything else will be so bad you will wish this was a different game.
It would've been amazing if this was a new Valkyrie Profile game set during Ragnarok.
But instead we got game that will be fanfiction about how amazing Lightning is.
I don't think "tits don't jiggle" can be considered as part of her "charactertization".
As for the costumes, they're completely optional. Don't like the sexy ones? don't wear them.
It's really that simple.

Your enthusiasm tends to be a little over-the-top and it has the capability of doing more damage than good, Perfo. Especially since you haven't played the game yet and are going off of developer interviews and snippets of gameplay. And I think that's why people aren't really taking you as seriously.
You're praising the game for its ambition, but it remains to be seen whether or not that ambition will bear fruit that will be cohesive and enjoyable, with mechanics that work extremely well. You can't blame people for being cautiously optimistic or outright unimpressed, as what you see may not be as engaging for others. For example, some of the developers have said nice and interesting things and have detailed interesting mechanics in the past about FF13 and FF13-2 which didn't really come to fruition or didn't live up to its potential (ex: blood damage in FF13-2, sidequests in FF13-2, the CSB in FF13, etc). Every other FF game before this was ambitious too, and in some ways certain things lived up to their potential, and in others they haven't.
So continuously saying that it's going to be the best and the most ambitious FF ever may not strike someone the same way as it would you, and that's something to keep in mind. Great that it appeals to you in terms of mechanics and what they want to try to do with it, but it probably won't strike others the same way either.
This game is certainly ambitious and does things differently, but I can't help but to be incredibly skeptical given my disappointment in some aspects of the last two works in the trilogy.
