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.

way cooler? Hmmm no.

First two videos are up:

WMV and stream are done, mp4/xvid are encoding. WMV *should* work on a PS3 though.

 

[RevenantKioku]

Multi-disc cases were cooler in the PS1 era. In DVD boxes not so much. The 360 RE5 one is atrocious. The ACC cases would be nice if they were soft plastic, not hard.

Picked it up today! Surprised by the form factor. It is not on regular BR disc cases. WTF square? It's a little bit shorter than a normal BR disc.

Those cases look better than the regular blu-ray cases. I'm just happy Square decided not to use a crappy sleeve for the demo.

 

[Awntawn]

I doubt Square-Enix would fuck up anything that bad.

What shipping option did you use and where did you order from?

Play-Asia and I used whatever the $18 UPS option was. I think it's 1-4days but they said it was meant for delivery today, then it was tomorrow, and now Monday.

Film isn't region locked?

 

[Deleted member 30609]

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!

I feel like I'm alone, but I miss the PS1 FF days of getting to an awesome scene in the game, beating it, and then changing the disc. It really helped the pacing on a weird level.

 

[zoukka]

way cooler? Hmmm no.

My opinion -> yours

Spoiler

Though it's purely nostalgia talking here. I'm pretty anti-materialistic nowadays.

Look, they're already fucking up 3;

I was just living a dream :'/

I loved it.

They really nailed that feeling in Blue Dragon. Each disc ended spectacularly, as if it was an ending on its own.
Not so much with Lost Odyssey though.

Yeah I really like the cases. Just wish they weren't hard plastic. I know they are going to break.

Dreamcast!

me love you long time.

Err don't break them? Just kidding I know what you mean but it could be much worst.

Eh? I got many R2 DVDs with those cases so it's not shocking to me. I think it looks sexier than the usual BR cases. I can't wait to get mine and CDJapan already reserved one for me. They are just waiting for my Ketsumeishi CDs to arrive.

 

[PuppetMaster]

Beat the demo now. It was just ok for me. I think the demo was just too easy for tactics to play any role in the combat. Hopefully the final game will have more thoughtful battles that require actual strategy.

I guess the cinemas were the highlight of the demo for me. The combat part seemed a little meh.

 

[RevenantKioku]

"Could be worse" has and never will be a reason for me to not complain.

Well, you can't possibly believe that will be the extent of it. The options were clearly limited.

Two HD videos coming in a few minutes, but here is a big picture gallery from the demo:

Holy shit! What is this amazing image quality? I can honestly not even tell exactly what they have done. I would have never expected this from a japanese-developed game, not even FF13.

Hats off to Square, hats off.

Wow, I feel sorry for the person who has sex with you. :lol

Downloading first video now. The screen grabs looks spectacular.

No kidding. Mine was originally set to be delivered today, and now it says Tuesday. Glad I ordered a 2nd copy from NCSX with their fastest shipping option.

You bought two copies.
Of a forty-five minute demo.
And a movie that only a poster like me could love.

Good lord.

Well, heh, obviously not.

[JudgeN]

O sad the black guy has a retarded battle idol stance. And I thought he was going to be the gangsta character.

 

[Y2Kev]

Chocofro is OLD NEWS

GET WITH THE PROGRAM

*ROLLEYES MAJORIS*

Sazh does the jig when he's not firing :\

 

[LiK]

Well, heh, obviously not.

;D

ah, so you missed the 30 pages of "chocobo in 'fro" discussion in the official thread. it was nuts ;D

 

[neojubei]

I wish I could have ordered two copies.

No more money

[Feral Youth]

Dude's Afro was perfect after being under that hood.

Must be some sort of advanced gell at work.

 

[neojubei]

I wished Sazh had some magic attacks and weapon other than guns.

 

[Pachimari]

Any gameplay video of Snow coming in from the great folks at Gamersyde? =)

Advancements in hair products are one of the many things to look forward to in a new Final Fantasy.

Just look at these glorious, golden locks. It's magic at work.

 

[panda21]

awww the little chocobo!!!! so cute

thats just a baby one right? the full size ones must be awesome

I'm hoping his baby chocobo becomes usable in battle. A passive ability that lets it occasionally stun enemies for 0 damage (but cancel their attacks) by flying around their head would be cool, just to throw a random example out there.

awesome.. will get!

btw, anyone ripped the battle themes yet?

 

[CloudV]

Picked up my copy today after work and playing through it now. Some real time comments:

1. Battle music is win. Pure win. Loving it. For some reason it reminds me of a mix between FF12 and Crono Trigger. Can't put my finger on it but it is rocking.

2. Battles are fast! One thing, though, that I'm at a loss is cure. You select white magic > then you pick who you want to cure, then you can execute command. The thing is, while you're on this screen you can't have one cure on Sazh, then one on lightning, it seems. You have to cure Sazh, back out to the top menu, then select Lightning to cure her? Seems a little convoluted, unless I'm missing something.

3. The music after the first battle reminds me of Kingdom Hearts. Hollow Bastion? I think.
