so i watched some of the youtube videos of the demo that have been posted online. i cant say it got me too excited about the game in general. i found the character designs to be just a little bit unflattering.

It's strange man. I hate RPGs because I have yet to find one that "clicked" with me. For some strange reason, after watching the Final Fantasy 13 demo stream, I'm really excited about FF13. The graphics, the music, and the design of the levels got me really interested and hyped for this game. Is that weird? :lol

True that. I had to pull the trigger on this one since it'd look cool with my Crisis Core PSP and other FF7 shizzle. It'd be tight if they pulled some Crystalline looking Triple and call it Lighting White or such.Kagari said:

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Well guys, I'm off to work to pick up FFVII ACC. Then I'm going to have lunch, clock out of work and come home and play.
I still have to do some last minute apartment cleaning, so I'll probably put on ACC and clean my apartment this afternoon. Anyway, have fun GAF!

The combat system certainly shows good potential. There needs to be proper gameplay consequences attributed to what kind of combo sequence you build up, as opposed to just being flashy. Once full party control is in, should allow for some interesting maneuvers.
It also seems as though actions can be interrupted, depending on when commands are being inputted (from the video, anyway - there was some point where the enemy was moving up to attack, but was hit first, which cancelled its action). Do you have to select 'all 3' actions before acting, or can you just select 1 or 2, and then have your next ATB slider already partially charged for your next command input? Could make for some interesting tactics where you send characters to make quick attacks to interrupt enemies instead of unleashing their full arsenal.

What? ...I didn't even mention how her glove an is slightly blockier in the demo...oh damn I just did.
Eh maybe you're right and I should stop.
tbh that vanille squarehands picture might be here to stay and i'm fine with it, graphics are spectacular as they are

What amazes me is the image quality seen in the few full-size shots available so far. It looks like it may not just render real 720p but even have AA with that. That's in a totally different league compared to other current-gen JRPGs (despite also having a far more modern lighting model). Mental disorder much?

I just watched the FFXII demo on youtube for the first time and I was surprised at how basic it played compared to the real game. It's pretty standard for FF demos to be restricted in a lot of ways. They don't even let you access menus or items. So I wouldn't bother trying to extrapolate anything meaningful from this demo other than the basic framework of the battles. The portion in the demo itself is likely to play and look a lot different in the real game.
Yes interruptions are there, that's why the guns are useful.Llyranor said:
Yes you can only use 1 or 2 bars to attack, makes chaining faster when all enemies are weakened by, say, 2 Firagas.
Additionally if you input extra commands and 'execute'
Say attack x3, but it only takes 2 hits, then the last hit is wasted.
I like that.

I just skimmed through a video. I'm glad to see the load time for battles seem short in this demo. The last JRPG I played was Lost Odyssey and the load time for battles drove me crazy.

Well, my interest in it stems mostly from World Ends With You, which is a pretty spot-on ARPG with very nice gameplay mechanics. I just want a good combat system. If they put some of their forward-thinking elements into Versus, should be pretty interesting.HK-47 said:
