Yes. I admit. I am a Final Fantasy fan. Well, huge fan. Dare I say "fanboy"? (as much as I loathe that term) Like many of you, I would shamelessly spend $599 on a PS3 just to play FFXIII without giving it a second thought. The lack of news about it all these months has gotten me impatient, and admittedly, I scour the 'net every single day in search of the faintest trace of new information about the game. Alas, Square isn't exactly in the habit of divulging information about their projects in progress, so apart from the usual tidbit, there isn't much to see.
Luckily, WORTHPLAYING has come to my rescue with a batch of screenshots of the game that made me wet my pants and my keyboard upon viewing them. (The former from the obvious, and the latter from drooling) Now I'm even more stoked!
You can check them out in their full White-engined glory at the link above.

but i guess they're still delicious looking
I'm sorry, but FFVIII - FFX have not been good games. VIII was pathetic, I've crapped better games that that. IX tried to go in the right direction, but the story failed miserbly. FFX was pretty, but the world and story was all around silly and borderline stupid. I'm actually a huge fan FFXI, but it's not an FF game. As for XII, I'm not real far into it, but I'm actually loving it.
I can hope that FFXII meant a return to good FF games, but I'm not optimistic. The thing that worries me about FFXIII is that it's on the PS3. This isn't a crack at the PS3 at all, I'm worried that it's on the PS3 because the PS3 is all about concetrating on graphics and making things look pretty.
Personally, I don't care a single bit about graphics in an FF game as long as the story and characters keep me happy, just look at FFVI or even FFIV. I've already seen a pretty FF game alone won't keep me happy as happened with X. I'm just really worried that SE is making a game to show off what they can do on the PS3.
@ twesterm
For the most part I agree. FFVIII bored me so much that I couldn't finish it and FFIX didn't make any sense, and everyone know Tidus is a whiny bitch. In Japanese Tidus sounds badass but in English he sounds like the typical melodramatic teen angst. FFXI though made me upset at how it took me around 25 hours of gameplay just to get to lv 14. And that was a boring 25 hours. I havn't played FFXII either so I can't make an opinion on that game. I just hope the FFXII's story isn't overly melodramatic like they have been as of late.
Plus it looks like they're going all sci-fi with this one..bah. I'd rather have swords than guns. You can do some cool limit breaks with swords..guns, eh..not so much.
Either way, I kinda hope XIII isn't good..I've been trying to talk myself out of buying a PS3 next summer. :|
That's what I'm talking about though in how the charcters look...VII you got the spiky haired kid & a freaking red dog..X you have Auron who just LOOKS like a badass, complete with uhh deformed hand? XI & up though?? I've yet to see a character who looks cool. They all look like normal teenage girls/boys.
Today I decided to skip ahead and beat the game, before I finished all of the side quests, just to see how the story ended. Why? Cause the story really was that good.
I was actually surprised by how sophisticated the plot was compared to the usual teen-angst nonsense most of the recent FF titles have had. If FFXIII follows the same trend than it should be an amazing game.
Honestly though. . . I'm not holding my breath
I'm dying to try XII. X was nice, and X-2 was ... interesting, but none of them really grabbed me the way the earlier ones did. A lot of people loved IX because it tried to return to the roots of the series, but somehow, I just couldn't bring myself to play past the first disc.
XIII looks promising to say the least. I like the sci-fi setting I've seen so far. It's different from previous Final Fantasies, so one can only imagine Square is attempting some sort of reboot of the franchise. And yea, I almost wish on some level that the game sucks...I so don't want a PS3 just for one game. But then again, I do.
Too many things were wrong with VIII. It wasn't horrible..but in my opinion, it's the worst FF..besides Mystic Quest..haha.
do you know when squeenix is gonna release the trailers they showed at Jump Fiesta 2007 to the public? i really wanna see those... in regards to the double-F's, personally, i liked VII the least so far... I started at X, and got addicted... i've played X, X-2 (bad game, no replay value whatsoever), IV, VII, VIII, and IX (and soon XII). my favorites are either IV, VIII, or X, but I think X takes it for me... it's the only game that's ever made me cry!!! VII might have if I wasn't used to PS2 graphics by the time I played it...
And banter dont yell at people because they have different opinions. Some people dont like FFXII because the combat system. People playing Final Fantasys since 3 on the snes were a little distraught from the change and our trying to get used to it. I myself havent had much time to play FFXII but will be trying to play it soon. So im not gonna hate on it.
But i wont get excited or even comment until i see demos of this games gameplay get a feel for the story and the characters. What makes me nervous is that there pushing out 3 FF titles in such a short time and i hope they arent watered down hi graphic clones, with weak gameplay and story.
All we can do is wait peace...
/runs away
If they made a remake of FFVII like that E3 test rendering, Id be very very tempted, but its just not worth $600, I really don't think any game is.
Gotta have more than one killer ap for that price
"twesterm you are a fucking idiot. FFVII is possibly the worst final fantasy ever. FFVIII is up there to. But FFIX and FFX are the best final fantasies ever. Dipshit."
Wow. I never saw the light before. I guess I'm wrong. Thanks for making everything so clear.
Seriously though, as far as I'm concerned there has yet to be a bad FF game (off shoots and sequels (X2) not withstanding).
Thisissami, sorry, I have no idea when the Jump Fiesta trailers will be released. So far, the only ones I've seen are for Revenant Wings, Ring of Fates and Dragon Quest IX. Hopefully they'll release the FFXIII trailer soon.
I would never buy a PS3 for a single title, but if XIII kicks ass, I would likely forego picking up a Wii and go for a PS3 (Twilight Princess is fun, sure, but I'm sick of the save-the-princess plotline which I've experienced many times before in previous Zelda incarnations).
