Snow... Cloud... Zidane... Tidus... I don't know I mean it just sort of goes along with typical FF character names. I like it, it's simple and it works and it's nothing "badass" which I approve of.

Snow!?
Youre as cold as ice!
You're willing to sacrifice our love!

I didn't have a problem with it in X and I admit it's because I didn't know those words before playing the game. In Zidane, Squall and Cloud's games it wasn't the case for the rest of the cast (I know there were others in those games that fit this standard, like Laguna).
Lightning and Snow are the most jarring to me. Since they're both probably code names (Lightning confirmed to be already) I hope it will all make sense in the end, Kagari.
Still, I'm not a fan of naming characters like that even in the older games, it feels juvenile imo.

Okay, so since next week's Jump has revealed the names of the FFXIII guy, and the characters from Versus XIII.... next week's Famitsu might reveal the voice cast for FFXIII. That's how it works with Dissidia anyway. Jump reveals the characters, and Famitsu expands on the feature and provides more screens, details and the cast info.

Great posters! Thanks.
batbeg said:I don't know if these are from TGS (or even new), but Gamekyo has a trailer for Chocobo Tales 2 and Chocobo's Dungeon DS up, and they're awesome even if old
I love the art direction of CT2, it looks incredible. And I pray to God Chocobo Dungeon DS makes it into English (or the Wii one makes it to PAL :-\). Anyway, sorry if old.
The Wii game looks so nice, I'm going to look around if I can get the first one for around £15.
Job-changing Chocobos are awesome!

I do agree that his name doesn't quite fits the image.
But yeah, many of these SE names are rather peculiar, and I don't think they fullfil their original ideas (as might be seen in Japan) for western gamers.
Anyway, Yuki (Japanese for Snow) is a name used for males or females, so it could be they think it sounds right too in english.
I don't really think Nomura is working on too many things at all. His current schedule is pretty clear. I'm only listing projects where he has a direct role in management and/or directing.
Stuff that's pretty much out of the way:
- KH Coded is pretty much done. (Director)
- Dissidia will be done in a month at most. (Creative Producer)
- KH DS will be out in Feb, so it'll be done in 2-3 months. (Director)
- FFVIIACC will be out in March, but we all know it's probably been done for a year or more now. (Director)
Stuff he's heavily involved with now:
- KH PSP is probably a big focus now, since it's already playable and has to come out sometime in 2009. (Director)
- The 3rd Birthday is being developed by Hexa Drive, so most likely Nomura will have even less of an involvement compared to Dissidia. (Creative Producer)
- Versus XIII is probably his biggest focus now, and once he finishes with the KH games he'll be concentrating 100% on it. There's a ton of work left and he's responsible for every aspect of the project. (Director/Story/Game Design)

Besides Nomura making the main character designs for this, in what way would that delay the FF games?
The game was developed outside of SE, at Jupiter, so if there is a sequel, the dirty work will be done there. If anything, the one suffering from a delay would be this one. Not the FFs or KHs. Don't swap around the priorities.
I guess Snow is a fitting name...not surprising though.
the close up of Stella's face looks SO GOOD
I can imagine he's already working on 2-3 other new projects already. That guy is hella prolific. And SE wants him attached with as many projects as he can it seems. Preferably one of them is the game that first made him popular...

Although looking at the incoming DS releases, they certainly should have more projects under the wraps.
Because currently, of what I know of, the SE's DS lineup consists of:
2008
- 3 Chocobo games
- Valkyrie Profile (11/01)
- Pingu (11/06)
- Chrono Trigger (11/24)
2009
- FFCC:EoT (01/29)
- KH 358/2 (Feb)
- DQ IX (March)
So all 2009 fiscal year is unknown for us.
There are many games that could be down in the pipeline such as DQVI, FFV-VI, TWEWY 2, any original IP, maybe some other sequel, Mana maybe?
The case is that no matter how busy the big teams are, following their history and busines approach, they must use people to put games out on DS between big releases, their employees have to eat while making those "5 year long" games

March is way too early. Don't expect the game before late Summer or Fall. Nomura said that even though it's playable at events now, it's still a long way from being done.
KH DS and Dissidia were first playable at Jump Festa last year in Dec. So if the standard turn-around time from first playable to release is a year, then I would say BbS should be released in the Sept to Dec window in 2009.
Spiegel said:PE3 has no chance of being released in 2009 then
Why not? Outsourced collaborations by S-E always seem to be developed a lot faster than their internal projects. FFIV DS was announced and released within 7 months. You gotta understand, Parasite Eve is not a huge franchise like FF and KH is, so there's no reason for them to hype it up or have playable builds a year in advance to show off, etc. We'll probably hear a lot more about it sometime next year in mags, and then it'll be released.

nice.... would like to see the psp one though
KH 358/2 is looking way better than I expected in motion. I'm impressed.duckroll said:
Here's hoping that the multiplayer is fun and that the gameplay doesn't suffer much on DS.
And :lol :lol :lol at the mission results being shown with the Org. XIII elevational thrones. They're way high for no reason (number hierarchy? lol) and I actually always thought they got on top of them by jumping or darkness portals or something, but now they're even more hilarious.

Looks like you can now order the FFXIII and VersusXIII posters from Square's shop for fairly cheap.
