Uncle say ONE MORE THING JACKIE!
Don't you think this is a little bit baiting and unprofessional?
Wait, so what's this difference between this and Final Fantasy 13 Versus?
What, posting a trailer? Totally unprofessional.
@Scary Womanizing Pig Mask:
FFXIII Versus is from the antagonist's point of view. I'm actually more excited for it than the normal XIII
@Jim:
Also, thank you for posting this trailer. Having to watch it at home and on G4 they made them pull away and you couldn't see it very well. Much appreciated!
I just mean the tone might wind up some people :)
What people? The people who have a personal investment in the great console wars of 08? Fuck those people.
inb4 XBox fanboys (that previously said FF sucked) bragging
No shiznit! Interesting....
On another note, the game looks amazing, as always, however; This Final Fantasy game looks like very much like the recent games. Good and bad, no?
Meh.
@riomccarthy
I thought Versus was a seperate story in the same universe of an ANTI-hero person (dude with blue hair and twenty floating swords). Correct me if I'm wrong, and show me where it was said he was the villain.
is this actual 360 footage or just ps3 with a 360 tag line at the end?
This is great. FFXIII was one of the few games that made me want to buy a PS3, and now I no longer need to.
In before someone crying in a corner makes a petition to Square-Enix to only put it on the PS3. :)
@Riomccarthy
I see. That would actually be pretty incredible if the villain turned out be awesome like Speheroth of Kefka.
I'm glad it's reaching as broad an audience as possible but I hope that all the content and features stay intact now it has to 'please' two systems.
Versus XIII is completely independent of FF XIII. They're set in the same universe, but it's otherwise unrelated. Versus XIII and XIII aren't connected like that, according to Tetsuya Nomura.
It focuses on the last heir to a kingdom that controls a city that holds the last crystal.
Sony OWNED!
Wow, the male character in that video actually looked masculine. I think I actually spotted facial hair. The only thing I didn't quite get, was the weird creature that came out of the Laserdisc.
@Celdurant:
Oh really? That sounds even more awesome then. Last I heard it was just the antagonist version. :)
I can't begin to understand why people are excited for this. FF12 was a grind. It needed to be 20 hours shorter.
Surely this was the annoucement that won 360 the console war over sony, I mean all they seem to have left now is God of War 3 and killzone 2, and i couldn't give a dickiebird about KZ2 in all honesty.
Avatars now make sense in a way if Microsoft turned to focus on beating Wii in some context. Yet this comes down to that core competitiveness that has been Microsoft.
The only question left is what about FF Versus 13. Surely if that comes to 360 or is some part of ff13 that has yet to be revealed tucked away in the game it'll be the end but the ps3 could technically 'die' laughing. as it'll most likely be on 4 dvds to the ps3's singular blu-ray.
That is a petty arguement in fairness especially when you have lost the one game that people were going to buy thier console for.
How is that an XBox 360 Trailer? If I'm not mistaken, that's pretty much what both will look like as far as that portion of the trailer goes. There's an XBox 360 announcement, but that trailer seems to be just for the game, especially since it lacks anything specific to XBox 360.
Nah, ryu89 hit it on the head. It's a darker type of game, with the main character being an anti hero of some sort.
Although it was 13 swords floating around him, not 20 =P
The moment Yoichi Wada came back on stage I was immediately saying "Oh God, what is he doing, what's going on?" It's unfortunate that Microsoft made G4 pull back and give us a far away angle view of the trailer. It left me inches away from my TV trying to deduce what was going on. Many thanks for the trailer, Jim!
I am extremely excited now that I don't have to spend $500 or more on a PStriple when Final Fantasy was the only game I really wanted. Don't get me wrong, I like Sony and all, but this console is just meh for me. I'm hoping that Sony pulls something atomic out of their asses to revive my lust for the PS3.
I just lost a bet. I now have to run naked somewhere. I will kill you Square, after I play FF4 again.
@ Celudurant
I picked a number at random cause I didn't for sure. 13 is still a ridiculous number of swords though.
Btw, Versus XIII is still PS3 exclusive. Squeenix held a press conference afterwards and there was a liveblog up over at Kotaku.
LMAO "For PLAYSTATION 3 Only in Japan"
I apologise Jim, the words I used were far too strong, I just thought the title of this piece seemed a bit like a Nelson 'haw hawww' that would get you some unwanted attention.
Damn... that trailer was very pretty. More importantly, those small shots of battle gameplay were fucking awesome. If the game ends up like that, you have me sold.
@Celdurant:
Oh that's totally more awesome than what I had originally thought. Thanks for the info!
Damn there was like....7 seconds of gameplay in that trailer. We already know $queenix can make pretty pictures, how about something interesting?
I really hope the battles are not like watching a cutscene... I don't play games to watch the matrix, I play to actually play.
"How is that an XBox 360 Trailer?"
Well ...
1) It was a trailer.
2) Shown at an Xbox 360 conference.
@riomccarthy You're welcome, just like to keep everyone informed ;)
@ryu89 I agree. 13 is a ridiculous number of swords. Even Cloud in Advent Children only had like 8 (also ridiculous).
*cough* he had 6....
Touche~
I was close.
ace, no need to spend hundreds on a console i only wanted for this and wipeout hd (what happened to that?) anymore. good news for everyone really, more people get to play the game.
The Xbox 360 trailer will have "Insert Disc 2" in the middle of it.
Oh wow, epic win for microsoft. I still might buy the ps3 version though.
4D graphics! On the 360!?!?!?!
@Celdurant:
XD Well it's appreciated, as the last time I had heard anything about it was what.. almost two years ago? I'm not surprised I completely forgot what it was suppose to be like. XD
[b]Well ...
1) It was a trailer.
2) Shown at an Xbox 360 conference. [/b]
Yes, making it a FFXIII trailer... Where it's shown, doesn't decide what it's a trailer of. If it showed just 360 gameplay, then I'd call it a 360 trailer, but it doesn't. Do you go to the Sony booth the next day, see the exact same trailer, and call it a PS3 trailer? No.
Stop fueling the unnecessary flames of online idiocy of both 360 and PS3 fanboys.
I know, information is so scarce ><
Usually you have to wade through the cesspools of the internet to find interviews with Nomura about everything he's up to for this stuff.
Yay! We can haz movie-video-game now too!!
the backlash would have tripled had it of been ff7 remake on 360. im more excited for sony's conference. a new SOTC would jus silence this uproar.
monosylabik: Did you actually watch the trailer? It doesn't say anything about 360. It even says in the end PS3 exclusive for Japan so my guess is that footage is from the PS3.
This announcement has me excited in a way I haven't been in a while. I'm glad to hear FF XIII is coming to the 360, but I just have to wonder about what they'll have to downgrade for the 360 version....that and I wonder what laughable amount of DVDs this is going to be on.
