This video was pulled from Japanese television show Game Center CX, from a segment focusing on Square Enix’s newest PS3 epic, Final Fantasy XIII. The group plays through a bit, oohing and aahing at just about everything they see. I was oohing along with them.
In this video you’ll see some exploration and battle play, as well as some huge roaming beasts. In the middle of the video, Final Fantasy’s resident bad ass, Bahamut, is summoned. His humanoid form is kind of boring, but his Driving Mode is pretty serious. Not to sound like a huge geek or anything, but the transformation into a dragon gave me f’n goosebumps. He is then able to swoop down and do about 2,500 hit points worth of damage each time. Bahamut’s finishing move, Mega Flare, smacks the baddie down for about 5,000 hp. Even with as awesome as Bahamut was, you’ll see much more damage in the end of the battle. Awesome.
Sorry, I’m geeking out again, aren’t I?
What’s funny is that this graphical powerhouse is being played on a 4:3 monitor. Someone on the show even asks about this.
