If you can't see why Americans would relate "YRP" to Charlie's Angels, then I don't know what to say.

agreed. you can't deny the similarity and references here and there.
even if it wasn't drawing direct influence from Charlies Angels.. you have subtleties like the retro-looking font and the retro-styled orchestra-pop music that hark back to the 1970s when Charlies Angel was a hit. they're intentional you know.

I can see both, Japanese would see magical girl, Americans would see Charlie's Angels. I saw three bitches who needed to speak less and fight more.

YRP, in position!

It's showtime, girls!

Saw some gameplay from Japan Expo livestream. http://www.wat.tv/images/v70/PlayerL...Id=L_japanexpo

Seems weapons are not exclusive to garbs. One of the weapons is a scepter. Can mix weapons and garbs. Can also freely change the color scheme of garbs.

Fang returns.

Showed off Cloud costume again. Don't understand French at all, but seem to confirm once again that Miqo'te starting gear from XIV as a costume (as Yoshida takes the stage).

New trailer:

Now they brought Fang back, wtf.

**Elcura** · 2013-07-04 10:21

Well fuck, I dunno anymore. Don't try to make sense XIII, just drag us around by the dick while spitting in our faces. No respect.

**Insanecyclone** · 2013-07-04 10:33

Worlds merged cause of chaos and brought thought gone/dead people back or made them younger? Sure why not. Helps get everyone in the final 13 trilogy game.

**Spira** · 2013-07-04 11:06

why do people act so pissed. the trailer is there to hype you up and raise questions in your head, not give everything away.

you get the right to be pissed after playing the game and seeing how they explain it away

**hey** · 2013-07-04 11:09

there must be something about that team and playing dress up

Dress up simulators are the best, fuck the haters.

**Correction** · 2013-07-04 11:33

Lightning costumes in ARR. Character everyone hates in a game nobody will pay for. Dat smell of desperation.

**Spira** · 2013-07-04 11:52

Not sure why people are surprised about Fang. It was pretty clear that she and Vanille will make a return to some capacity in the final game after their crystals were rescued from the pillar at the end of 13-2.
The only issue I have with this is that I really wanted 13-3 to be like 13 in terms of party members, and not be a solo Lightning game. That way you could've been playing with at least some of the original party members in the final game. Oh well.

**Charismatic** · 2013-07-04 13:53

I honestly don't see the point in bringing the crew back for the final game if you can't play as them but... w/e, for once the gameplay doesn't look awful so that's fine.

^ this. Kinda cool to see them back, but it ultimately makes Fang and Vanille's sacrifice in XIII seem pointless. Dunno why they didn't bring back teen Hope. I'm sure Sazh and Vanille will be running around somewhere too.

It's funny that I thought XIII's story was a clusterfuck when I first played it, but in retrospect it turned out to be the simplest one.

And its not that the questions raised aren't worth raising, it's just so far they haven't shown us that they can give a decent explanation for what's going on. I'd be excited if I thought it would be coherent, but at this point all I'm hoping for is basically Star Ocean 4. Fun game but ignore the story and characters 'kay?

**Evane** · 2013-07-04 18:45

It's all about Bhunivelze trying to find the door to the other world. His creations, Pulse and Lindzei, failed to find it while he is in slumber and now he has to do it himself.
