Fuck me. FIVE GIGS! That's A LOT for a demo.

 

[RpgN]

Ogre Battle, hate. Tactics, hate. FF Tactics, decent amount of hate. Vagrant Story, hate. FF12, you know the deal. If there is anything else, I hate it by proxy at this point.)

o_0 Like really?

 

[HK-47]

o_0 Like really?

He means it.

 

[gofreak]

Final Fantasy XIII trial takes up 5.09GB

o_0 :lol Full game = multi-BD confirmed! Maybe?

 

[Zanasea]

He means it.

So these people do exist...

 

[RevenantKioku]

He means it.

And how.

So these people do exist...

Yes. And we are your gods.

Like I said a few pages ago, it's all uncompressed, or only partially compressed. When everything is fully optimized, expect those vids to take up no where near as much room (as something like >4 of the of GB are used on the videos).

 

[RpgN]

He means it.

*RpgN just had a heartattack*

Wow.

Even though I like more traditional FF games as well, I can't imagine
people hating on all these games...

Okay, I better back off now.

Of course. Still, how many DVD's? Going to be the second PS3 game on a 50gb Bluray?

If they need to do a dual bluray release I'm fine with it, I really want a japanese and english voice track

 

[jump_button]

I would think that some limit system would be assumed, even if not in the demo.

the battle system is only 50% completed in the demo, The music in battle is finalized
The victory fanfare will be revised, and victory poses have yet defined, The level of difficulty is lower than the final product

so yeah i think they be somthing like a limit

 

[careksims]

I'm sure a lot of Western Gaffers will get this baby today! I know I will! So far I haven't seen anything of the demo so it's going to be all fresh to me.

 

[Shadow780]

dual BD sounds too awesome,

Spoiler

for Versus!

 

[evolution]

don't dual layer BD discs read slower than single? Im really not looking forward to MGS4 type installs

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

don't dual layer BD discs read slower than single? Im really not looking forward to MGS4 type installs?

I think Shadow780 means... 2 Blu-ray discs? >_>

 

[AKS]

just watched the videos, hmm, too much prerendered cgi, followed by too many broken up little battles, and the graphics arent even amazing, although they do set the bar for a japanese dev co this gen so far, looking forward to finding out how many discs the 360 version will be with the amount of crappy pre-rendered scenes

Good graphics for a Japanese developer, huh? Which country did Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, and Resident Evil 5 come from?

 

[Shadow780]

I think Shadow780 means... 2 Blu-ray discs? >_>

 

[zoukka]

360 jokes aside, multi disc releases rock!

You knew those ps1 Final Fantasies were the shit back in the days just because of the fat package and three/four discs!

 

[Shouta]

Got my copy today. I'll do some impressions on it after I put a little time in.

single disc game can have fat package too!

SE can inflate the blu-ray package as well~

[Spoo]

So I've been trying my best to keep up with the media here while waiting for my demo to arrive (Play-Asia is still "preparing" it, whatever the fuck that really means) -- I haven't wanted to spoil things too much for myself, though, so I've only really watched the first 10 minutes or so.

I wonder, though -- I'm extremely impressed with the visuals, and the combat system looks fun (albeit what we have isn't the full thing) -- with so much demand for the HD Final Fantasy experience where development takes longer what with the high end tech they have, will the scope of the game itself suffer?

I don't mean to suggest that an rpg that's not 40+ hours isn't good, but I have a hard time seeing a game with this kind of visual quality hitting past a 25-30 hour mark. Anyone wondering about how much play time they're hoping to stuff in here? A 40+ hour rpg with this quality would, pretty much everywhere be hot.

Other than that concern (if it even is a concern), I'm thrilled by what I've seen thus far. I haven't really played a great rpg since FFX or maybe XS (episode 1), so I've been waiting quite a while for something of this calibre to come along :}

 

[StuBurns]

I think the game will be considerably smaller in terms of geometry, and probably considerably shorter, which I'm all for. They could add all sorts of stupid things to artificially lengthen it I'm sure, but I hope they don't.

Any chance of hosting the Versus trailer?

Remember, this is the guy who found DIRGE OF CERBERUS to be a good game, enjoying it as an action game more than Devil May Cry. He can't possibly live this fact down since it really does define how everyone should view all taste-related comments from him.

It's in the demo?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Yeah, it's in the trailer menu along with Agito.

 

[Zanasea]

Yes. And we are your gods.

Well then, god, let me take the reins of history back into the hands of man.

 

[zoukka]

Blasphemy!

Would take the fat pack over standard anyday though

That's dual layer DVDs. BDs read the same.

Even comparing it to DMC2 wouldn't redeem him.

Awesome, thanks.

You'll all come around one day. Or pass away. One of the two. Time is on my side here.

And you are getting forgetful. It was Devil May Cry 3. If you're going to bring up my history at least get it right!

Thanks Blim.

I love Sazh's coat, I wonder where I can buy it.

Images up on Gamersyde are the best I've seen from the demo. Looking forward to you guys getting the video up!

Blu-Ray films (planet earth, the dark night) are normal sized cases. PS2 games (MGS3:s) were also normal cases with a swingy thing holding one. I don't think fat cases will return. Maybe in Canada because of the french manual though...

DMC3 is probably the best one in the series.....

I'm wondering why you don't plan on buying FFXIII yet you gladly dump your money into the Last Remnant.

Something tells me you find enjoyment in showing affection towards mediocrity.

Subsistence was fat. But yeah depends on the amount of discs. And I wasn't completely serious. Just defending the 360 release a little because a case with 4+ DVD:s would be actually way cooler than a single blueray.

Just download the mov file and you are good.

Well then for 4+ it would probably come in a cool box. My subsistence is a normal size.

Not if it's like Lost Odyssey's packaging. Fuck I have nightmares just thinking about it.

The Last Remnant was mediocre?
What?
Go watch Twilight again, mmkay?

? What kind of shit reasoning is this?

Might as well tell SE to split it into 4 Bluray discs.
