A semi brand spankin' new Final Fantasy Versus XIII popped up yesterday on YT which was reportedly shown at E3 earlier this year. Despite being there, Square didn't allow cameras at their booth so this will be the first time a lot of people see it. News to me, too -- have a look, it's perty.
Before you orgasm, note that it is a completely pre-rendered sequence of what Vidal Sasoon can do for an evil man. The game will look good, but not THAT good. Nevertheless, we can expect that Square will fatten up that Blu-Ray disc with a ton sequences like this in full HD. Just check out the IGN screenshots below to fully appreciate what YouTube can't reproduce. So! If you're looking for a reason to justify Blu-Ray and your PS3 purchase, bookmark this page for the haters.
One can't help but compare it to the recently released
Halo 3 trailer, who's production values are just as amazing but also doesn't show actual gameplay (sigh). Which trailer would say was better,
FFXIII's trailer or Starship Troopers? No bias there whatsoever.

Though I'll admit Halo 3 does still look cool.
NEITHER of them are in-game footage or even CGI from in-game shots...just random footage they put together.
But even though I hate to admit it...Halo's got me more into it than this one. Of course I didn't bother to read the text in the beginning of it, it does have a more epic cinematic appeal.
Overall I prefered the Halo3 ad. Something about it left me wanting more, even though I thought Halo2 was a pretty mediocre game. This one was a bit too long and boring. I couldn't be bothered to read the text.
I am ready to finish the fight.
Sorry baby...it doesn't happen all the time, honest.
That's not to say that the Halo III trailer was bad. Quite the contrary. I just find that the Final Fantasy XIII trailer wins this round.
Square is just better at making trailers.
First podtoid, I talked about FF Versus XIII. It's going to be SICK.
*Sigh* I hope the Final-Fantasy-playing-box falls into my lap sometime before ffxiii.
"I will buy a ps3 the day this game comes out and not a moment before. "
I may buy my PS3 before if FFXIII or Kingdom Hearts III come out before it... otherwise, yeah, probably the sae, unless Ratchet and Clank PS3 is totally amazing
