Of course when I say "cocobo" I mean "chocobo."

Pretty FMVs a compelling game does not make.

ahh..sexually ambiguous characters. Squarenix, is there nothing your artists can't achieve?

stupid tags...sorry

gameplay I mean

But that's the thing, Bilbo. Nomura's characters are pretty much the norm when it comes to character design that's popular in Japan. Sexual ambiguity in males seems to be pretty popular in everything from anime to boy bands.

i think i might get a used psp for 30$, but joystick broken... wut u guys think?

Finding gameplay in a Final Fantasy trailer is like spoting Bigfoot...

God, looks freakin awesome! Am I actually going to end up buying a game for my PSP?!?! Haven't done that since launch!

Haven't played FFVII in a loooong time... refresh me, whos the cloud lookalike with black hair?

ahh..sexually ambiguous characters. Squarenix, is there nothing your artists can't achieve RIGHT?

No, sexual ambiguity is no the natural norm. It's the hell-damned fad in Japan nowadays though. Natural norm is being of short stature and slender, slim or skinny.

Actually Light conforms very well to the feminine look. It doesn't have to be blatantly obvious to be one. Ruffy (hate "Luffy" Don't like it, bite me) on the other hand would require a lot make up and a good dress and wig to resemble a bit a girl.

Enough digression. I see something I'd feared. You're being again sucked in just by the FMVs. Who the HELL cares about FMVs?! Yeah, nice graphics as well, just hope it doesn't turn out into beautiful boringfest. They shot quite good with FFXII but considering FF repertory I won't hold up my breath.

I hope Sony at least either drops the price of the PSP or releases a new one before this comes out in the US. :/

Scottoid: the PSP is a digital media player, of course it is capable of running great looking FMV. Its not so good at playing games though.

Comrade, it good to know you know what you're talking about. I mean, the 10 games I have for the PSP don't play at all.

Holy Shit Magesx I didn't know that PSP fanboys actually existed. You better start breeding quick before you all die out.

Y'know the more I think about it the more I firmly believe that the PSP and Final Fantasy games are the perfect match. All style and no substance.

*Two birds with one stone*

naruto has sexy-no-jutsu... which troubles my mind just like Ramza did... Also, in the latest manga, Naruto's disiple... does a Malesexy-nojustsu... and its um the new guy over sasuke, that makes Sakura all horny.

Bleach, theres a couple of scenes that also shows a tad of male-on-male action, not sure if that counts for feminine.

@ Brandom.
The cloud like character is basicly the guy that cloud looked up to and learned everything from, and the person who hooked up cloud to get in soldier, cuz cloud sucked balls and couldnt make it. not to mention he is the guy that saved clouds life @ the price of his own :)

Guys, just add in your comments whether the trailer is in English or not. Please and thank you.

Oh you meant in the actual post... I was looking for subtitles of some kind in the trailer. If only I had a better attention span for reading text instead of watching the video dammit.

The Final Fantasy cash cow goes "Moo."

wait....whats a psp?

My memory may be a little fuzzy since it's so long since I played FFVII. But don't all the members of SOLDIER have the green Mako eyes?
It looked like Zack, Sephiroth and Cloudou all had blue eyes. Did I just imagine it?

@Gol Len

Kinda faulty logic your working with there. Naruto, One piece and Bleach all gain their huge popularity from the mere fact that they are long running Shonen anime. Shonen is almost always huge in japan, no matter what the characters look like. And while Ichigo and Naruto may not be pretty boys, guess what kind of characters usually follow them up, pretty boys (if not girls). The main characters always get a bit of popularity boost from being the main character... Those shows popularity only really proves that Pretty boy characters aren't the ONLY thing that counts, but it definatly plays a HUGE factor for the fanbase... as for Deathnote, well looking at Light, i'd say he'd classify as a pretty boy aswell.

Really, One piece may be the only anime/manga that doesn't have prettyboys for added appeal. That's all thanks to Oda's style which is a rather unconventional style compared to most other series, his pretty boys don't look much like pretty boys. One piece, probably the only proof that good story beats out bishi characters... now if only the rest of japan could learn the difference between "attractive" character design, and "appealing" design

cum in pants.

There's a clear difference between bishonen and effiminate. Look at Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge. There's one character that IS effeminate, and he's clearly different from the others.

Historically, Japan honored strength. Dying in battle, for the sake of the Emperor, was the greatest honor a Japanese person could ever hope to achieve. This was the WWII and earlier mentality. I don't exactly call that "effeminate."

@ Jeffk6

-Before FF7. A prequel.

This game looks pretty good but it mostly killed my boner since Dirge of Cerberus sucked soo much nads. I can tell this will be better but still....
