The Official Final Fantasy XIII TRIAL VERSION Thread

Sazh's idle jig is so awesome.
When I boot up the demo, I turn the battle camera so that I can see him clearly and marvel at how the animation loops so cleanly.

No white fantasy character can jam quite like that.

What I liked about Snow, Lightning and Sazh is they look like they are actually fighting. Osaka Whore and co. look like they are going to a cosplay party. You don't dress up to go shoot a rifle at PSYOPS. It looks dumb. Blargh.

Discussion of gameplay mechanics on the evolution of the franchise vs discussion of a movie that is only tangentially related to the demo the thread is about.

I'd have to disagree.

In all honesty, FFXII discussion is not any more off-topic than fawning at FFVII:ACC in the context of this thread.

Um, ACC is in the OP.

from the videos on gametrailers i can presume: the black man is a bumbling idiot who spends most of his time on all-fours groveling, providing "comic relief" with his buffoonery?

ACC is amazing. Previous haters should really give it another chance.

wow so they removed all the terrible action and replaced it with competent voice acting and writing?

I am so going to buy ACC now.

I'm calling it now. Sazh is an agent working for the other side, the bumbling buffoon routine is a ruse until he can get close enough to betray you.

But the demo is part of the ACC package, therefore on-topic.

I kinda liked Sazh in the few videos I saw.
When he was running down that thing and making a grunting noise ripped straight from Homer Simpson I kinda laughed.

I'm very impressed with the demo, and it will be day one buy whenever the Japanese version comes out this winter.

And Sazh is too good. :D

The whole bundle is so classy. Love the special ACC packaging. Can't wait to get mine tomorrow.

And is that a play-arts buster sword? Or is it something else that I now have to buy?

I can afford it...I am just doing as you are and waiting for the real deal FFXIII. Of course I know zero Japanese, but whatever. Guess it's time to start learning since I've wanted to for quite awhile...Rosetta Stone worth it? :lol

get started learning kana with this freeware game: http://lrnj.com/

It's a tongue-in-cheek DQ/FF rip-off, but I learned all of hiragana and katakana with it in less than a week playing on and off.

Thanks I appreciate it! I've been wanting to learn for awhile, but didn't really know where to start without paying quite a bit.

Good to hear and PLEASE pre-order with NCSX. I want you to have your game and system day one like everyone else here. :D I want to hear your impressions of the game and bundle pack.


Oh and I learned Japanese in College, so I am not too familiar with the Rosetta Stone program. I recommend buying a Japanese/English electronic dictionary for some of the Kanji you don't know or if you have an iPhone there are quite a few good Japanese language Apps on the itunes App store.

Is there any uncertainty that they will? They did one for Crisis Core, then for Dissidia. I'm expecting Birth By Sleep, AgitoXIII and The Third Birthday to all get special edition PSPs.

I didn't even think of that, heck there might be a special edition Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep PSP slim/slide, so I plan to buy that as well at the agito bundle. :D
