The fuck does this even mean?

i want my FF games to be Final fantasy based action not badly done movement and combat styling

[Lucavi]

^ So... 2D turn-based? People standing still until its their turn? What does this mean?

I would like a throwback to the old FF4~9 ATB system, but for the most part Square-Enix manages to make something fun for me, even when I was entirely skeptical off the bat. I hated the idea of XIII's system, until I got used to it and learned that the strategy was the timing of switching roles instead of choosing individual actions. It was a more macro strategy-genre mix and it was fun to master. I imagine this will be some more of that stuff.

Waiting for turns, trading blows one-at-a-time and standing at opposite ends of a battlefield doesn't ruin any immersion for me, personally.

less choppy awkward movement

That's what was so great about X-2... which is almost always overlooked. I would love for that battle system to be used again.

Square Enix and Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong hosted a Final Fantasy 25th anniversary event at Asia Game Show. Shinji Hashimoto, Yoshinori Kitase, and Lightning showed up to the celebrate.

After cutting the cake, Kitase talked about Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and announced the Asian version which has Chinese/English text plus Japanese voices.

Gods and their taste in boss sunglasses.

Also, how the fuck do you copy text from siliconera nowadays.

More Chocolina n' stuff.

It sucks.

Go play a FPS game

[Kuya]

Unfortunately for you, companies will do what's popular, so for the most part people who love 2d turn based games are screwed.

Have a nice life.

2D turn-based system sucks.

I am really, really sorry that you don't like them. I really am.

Jump this week introduces a new character for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.

Lumina is a young woman who appears at Lightning’s destination. She’s both a help and a hindrance to Lightning. She’s very Sera-like, but more goth-loli, and with duck-lips. She appears to be using Lightning as a toy.

Lightning, as previously confirmed, will have many new costumes in Lightning Returns, referred to in the game as “Wear.” You can set three types of Wear and change them in battle. These include: the “Dark Muse,” which consists of a knife, camouflage jacket, pants with wide holes, and a grid-shaped shield; and “Alone in a Sandstorm,” which is armor like a samurai’s.

Of course, Lightning will also have new magic and abilities, and she’ll be able to guard and evade. She can also receive quests from a bulletin board. Clearing these quests apparently leads to time extensions.
