New FFXIII Trailers

[Natallon]

Some new trailers were posted today that came with the CLOUD DVD on Friday.

There is one for FFXIII and Versus XIII and they are awesome.

Lots of footage we have never seen before.
I got mine here

Looks cool? Yes

Looks like Final Fantasy? No

Do not like direction FF is taking =/

I couldn't agree more... with every single FF game that comes out, the series seems to move further and further away from its roots and I hate it personally... the gameplay footage from XIII looks like it's not turned into a complete action game, more like Kingdom Hearts... I just don't get it.

Versus looks awesome though, I can't wait for that if it's anything like KH. But they should've at least made 13 different than Versus... if they end up being similar in gameplay it's going to be fn stupid.

[Natallon]

yeah im actually looking forward more to versus than xiii I think..

its still really hard to tell though just how the games will be played

[Xavier]

The VERSUS trailer is far cooler.

In the air over which game will actually be better.

[Elcura]

This is like all the FFXII conversations ever. People are so shit scared of change and want everything to go back to basics. At least FF is trying new things with RPGs, with all this technology and power we have it'd be a waste to do ATB or turn based systems continuously. I'm looking forward to FFXIII more than versus, mainly because they've showed us in game graphics and system, whereas versus is just prerendered bull (nice looking but that's everywhere) and I have no idea what the system will look like other than thinking KH. The battle system in FFXIII moved so quickly I thought I was watching a cut scene, if they get this right this could be an amazing game.

Change is good.

The Final Fantasy series would never have lasted so long if each edition was identical to the last. I look forward to each game because they are almost always among the most polished games released on a system, not because I want to play the previous installment part two.

agreed and its expected that some changes arent liked as well as others.
making changes to an established formula is risky, but I am glad they're doing it.

Exactly. FF would've died out years ago if they didn't keep changing things up to keep it interesting.

[Stolin]

Every FF has had a different battle system, and I've thoroughly enjoyed almost all of them. Definitely can't wait for the newest real addition to the series thats not a half-baked remake for a hand-held =].

[Exoduso]

Change IS good, but to an extent...

If they turn the flagship FF series into an Action RPG it would just be stupid IMO (and atm, this is what FF13 looks like..)
What's the point of making Versus if both games will be Action RPGs similar to KH?

Regardless, i'm sure FF13 will play nicely because they all do.

[Fayttt]

Well, even if FF13 is action as opposed to the "normal" (what is normal anyway?) system, we haven't even seen any gameplay of Versus XIII have we? So, its likely one could be action and the other could be.."normal" for lack of better terms. I think it's best to just wait for more information about both games before the games start getting prejudged with two or three trailers with basically the same content. And that is showing a tad of FF13's gameplay and not showing like, any of Versus 13's gameplay. I'll facepalm if I'm wrong, but Versus 13's gameplay sytem hasn't been revealed yet?

[Scorp]

There was a really nice flow to the battle system in 12. Boss fights were a great success (provided you weren't too high level etc). The world had a great feel to it to, I like how they retain the timeless element and avoid any "future of earth" crap.

The trailers look good, i'm more excited about FFXIII than versus but thats probably because advent children destroyed any chance of me being a cloud fanboy. Now if they had some Squall/Rinoa stuff I'd be in like a flash.

[Aerin]

Personally I really liked both trailers, although I think the music in Versus caught my attention more than just XIII did, seemed to flow better.

The gameplay in XIII does look fast paced and should prove interesting to master. I wish they would show us something of the gameplay in Versus as well.

And I'm sure this is a stupid question but, CLOUD DVD?

They said it will play out to be like Kingdom Hearts... it was stated a loooong time ago.

[Turambar]

This is very true. The irony of it is that 90% of those people think "back to basics" means "more like FF7", which was the first one in the series (in their minds). They tend to bitch and moan just as much about the old ones as the new.

[Xavier]

And I'm sure this is a stupid question but, CLOUD DVD?

I believe thats the new special edition of Advent Children.

Series like dragon quest nearly flatten the ff series in japan in sales while being ridiculously old school. Just take dq8: battle system is the same one used since dq1. Only change is how the character develops concerning a few things they can be proficient in, like the hero with swords or spears or jessica with whips or even sex appeal (can make monsters randomly lose turns by oogling her lol, monster actions in this game are retardedly funny sometimes and nearly fully animated). Thing with it though is it reused tons of things from many of the older dq games, ranging from music to monsters to story elements to specific equipments, spells, and abilities. It's built upon staples and nostalgia like that and japan goes nuts for it.


FF has fewer elements that are so repeated and a lot more game-unique work aside from the story. That is also its charm as each game is very different and unrelated to the others. I enjoy both kinds, the new and the nostalgic. I at least have a good frame of reference to enjoy both as much as I do heh.

[Jefe]

I like it, I want the game to "evolve." I don't wanna keep fighting random monsters every fucking step, same battle sys, etc. So I welcome the change. Don't like the game? Don't buy it.

Cloud's some art concept book that came with a bunch of trailers for SE games, with these 2 being a part of it, ACC trailer should be with it to, but haven't seen it uploaded, don't know if its new or old or what, theres a list on ffinsider i think
