Mik2121 said:Uhmmm halfway through the demo, not liking it much. I guess I won't be buying this game, though not because it's bad, but because it's probably not my game, unless the real thing changes a lot of things. Of course, one of the big things that pull me off is the lack of menu, but I guess that's because it's a trial version yet.
But yeah, as of right now it's been just running through 'hallways' and killing the same two kind of enemies (the soldiers and the metallic dogs, and that kind of flying soldier too actually) and right now I'm with some kind ofafter making my way to some kind ofmini-boss.transport to get through after the bridge breaking
Voices are nice (except the black guy sounds a bit unnatural sometimes, but even then it's good) and visuals are alright most of the times, with some good details sometimes. The pre-rendered scenes are amazing though, but I expected the in-game visuals a bit better, seeing how we can't interact with many of the things and it's all just there sitting. But then again, I guess this will change through the game and probably this area is one of the most boring ones.
edit - I just made my way to the. Moar bridges, yay!Hanged EdgeI wonder if the trial includes something else?
I think with enough depth to the game and lots of things to do, I might enjoy it actually...
The world is more 'tech' than I expected, even though it's not as much as FFVersusXIII, which I'm more interested into, than this one.
edit 2 - Also, lol @ everybody around the. They all say stuff like 'I don't wanna die!', 'there's nothing else but dying', etc.. ;/Hanged Edge
As long as you like the battle system, character/monster design, and music. Thats really all an RPG demo is for. Storyline and environment diversity usually arent high points in most RPG demos.
Well, the fight system seems alright. Of course, right now I only have 4 things to choose from (simple attack, throw enemy upwards, fire attack and heavy fire attack) and you can't use items nor anything else in the beta, so I can't tell much.
The enemy design is alright, though the first boss you battle is quite.. uninspired and ugly. Other than that, some designs are nice, and while I didn't really care much about the music, it didn't become annoying, which is quite a feat. (seeing how I usually get tired of lots of RPG background music tracks). So yeah.. I'll wait for the release and see some videos and read about what you can and can't do in the game.

L'Cie are given a 'Focus' by the Fal'Cie (a mission of sorts), they are destined 'for a greater purpose'
Lightning is an L'Cie, as well as Vanille etc Lightning's 'Focus' is 'to bring about the downfall of the world'
I don't think any of them know they are L'Cie at the beginning (maybe Lightning does)
After downloading the ripped tracks, the normal battle theme is great, but what they labeled as the boss theme just seems ok. I mean its a great track, but it doesn't really seem as memorable as say...something from the classics, or even FFXII (I know some people say the music from XII isnt memorable, but at least I can hum it :lol)
Then again, that might not be the real standard boss music.
Someone else needs to rip these tracks to make them loop at least once.

That's why, also with Lightning attitude, I think that she will turn out to be the antagonist at least for some time in the game.

English, please. :lol
In gamersyde videos, you can see shadow-aliasing on facial self-shadows in a few scenes - and also how shadow-map LOD changes at least once on enemies. It's shadowmaps - but they do a nice job with texel-distribution (and it helps shadows aren't global, so you get more effective-resolution to play with).Ether_Snake said:
You can see they really put a lot of attention on IQ though - not just shadows, aliasing is minimal all over - even more amazing since it's a Japanese developed title

I thought the glasses guy looked pretty cool :lol
It's that Sephiroth clone in the white robe I'm worried about. Especially after watching ACC.

For those who own AC:C, I have two questions.
1. For the dub, do Aerith and Yuffie get new lines, and if so, who's playing them? The first movie used Mena Suvari and Cristie Romano, but considering that both girls got a different VA for Kingdom Hearts II and Crisis Core, I'm wondering if they've been redubbed for this movie.
2. Is the Denzel anime dubbed as well?

No new lines for either Aerith or Yuffie, at least that I noticed. There weren't any new scenes with the original FFVII supporting cast, outside of the Turks. And no luck on the redubs either. Mena Suvari is still around to torture.SOLDIER said:
And I'm pretty sure the Denzel anime isn't dubbed.

there are new scenes with all of the original FFVII cast IIRC, the fight with the giant thing summoned by Kadaj has extra bits with all of the characters
Denzel anime isnt dubbed, but it's worth watching
I think they just tweaked that scene. Cloud's entrance is totally different, but Cid just drops in instead of fighting. Tifa does have a whole new fight scene though. Ok, so maybe there is more. :lol I'm gonna rewatch it here in a few.BlazingDarkness said:
I did notice Bahamut looks pretty beat up by the time Cloud takes him out. The added battle injuries and blood is actually a pretty nice, mature touch.

No english subs? Will I understand the story? How is the dub version? Pure cheese?

i distinctly remember extra bits with Barret and Cait Sith off the top of my headrataven said:
It's easy enough to understand. ACC does a nice job of adding dialogue to help fill in the holes of the story where we had to make assumptions before. The dub is good. I don't know about cheesy; wasn't to me. Dilly-dally, shilly-shally is still in though.DancingCactus77 said:

I'm actually looking forward to Final Fantasy XIII now after playing even this little bit of it. I figure I'll have loads more fun than what I'd just experienced once I comprehend all of what's being said, and can wrap my head around what'll be the full battle system.
On the subject of Advent Children Complete, I watched the dub, skipped the parts with Aerith and the bit in the bedroom where Tifa tells Cloud to get off his emo ass, and liked the new parts. The small edits here and there were great
, the new dub voices for Marlene and Denzel were great, and holy fuck the Final Limit Break.

Cloud cracks Bahamut's skull, Tifa was downsized again for the FFVII flashback montage

Mocaped! I hope more animations will be of that quality.
I think the running animations are not very nice in the game, when you turn around it's really no different than on PS2, they could have had some nice transitions/weight-balancing (more like Prince of Persia). Other than that it's nice.

I don't! No furries please.
And also I feel even more certain that Lightning will be the antagonist in the game (at some point) because we have still seen no main "bad guy", something usually revealed early on.
