On par graphics wise with XIII? Highly doubtful. That would require a massive undertaking and we all know how SE is these days.

Sorry. I just had to.

"Out in June"
"Graphics on Par With FFXIII"

......LOL

RmanX10004065d ago

Even the haters should admit that even though its the best in the series... like most Square Enix games, FF13 at least looks GORGEOUS.

TheLyonKing4065d ago (Edited 4065d ago )

Brilliant thing about FF games is there is no best in the series and it boils down to nostagia and personal experience and connection to each story.

E.G my personal favorite is 8 but that doesnt mean to say anyone elses thoughts for their fav ff is wrong.

On topic: it wont be as good looking but clearly will be a step up: Blitzball in HD = count me in can't wait to get ROPP in the dome again

RmanX10004065d ago (Edited 4065d ago )

I feel dumb... i meant to put "even though it MAY NOT BE the best in the series..." (my personal favorite was 9)

FarEastOrient4065d ago

Someone start tallying the count.

I'm a fan of FF VI and FF Tactics.

ILive4065d ago (Edited 4065d ago )

FF13 is one of the best, if not the best looking game this gen on consoles. Absolutely incredible. Shame that it did not win any awards for the graphics category in 2010.

Tapani4065d ago (Edited 4065d ago )

The best FF for adults: FFVI, VII, IX, XII. Of course the best of them all is Final Fantasy Tactics.

Playing FFT, Vagrant Story and FFXII in that order gave me a big Yasumi Matsuno orgasm of adult storytelling through interesting political plot filled with paganism, animism and all sorts of philosophies on top of romance that didn't hold your hand and give you the "happy ending".

However, if one wants deep plots one should play Xeno-games. Ohhh but don't start me with those :D

FFX had it's own magic, and I think I will respect Sagaguchi (although he probably doesn't get the money) by buying this. Especially if it has more bonus stuff than ever before, I don't care about the graphics, I just want some meaningful side quests etc!

Tetsujin4065d ago

I prefer 6 and 8, not 10.

gear4064d ago

Snookies124065d ago

Lol, plus didn't we already see the character models in that Japanese Vita conference? They look HD and much better than the SD versions, but come on... They don't look PS3 quality or anything. This is obviously fake.

maddfoxx4065d ago

I agree. In order for X to look like XIII, they would have to re-due the entire game (a true remake). They already claimed it would take 10+ years to remake FF VII. . . Can you imagine how long it would take them to remake X?

NeXXXuS4065d ago

it would only take them 10 years because they've become lazy.

bluedragonffx24064d ago

100% agree. Even if what the guy said were true, there is no guarantee that it will look the and play the same as what he saw at the event. Let's not forget this is "Square Enix" we are talking about here. They have the "potential" to blow things up and show things that they "wish" they could make it in the final product. I've lost my trust in what SE says after what the Versus incident.

Wizziokid4065d ago

I can't wait to play this again, was hands down one of my personal favorites

xneoarcx4065d ago

That's possible but it will consume most of the time from other teams just make it I mean they will going to finish Final Fantasy 14 online and Lighting Returns:Final Fantasy 13 this year so which team are doing it that's the question plus kingdom hearts coming too.

Sharius4065d ago

but....but...but....but how about the versus?

xneoarcx4065d ago

Well that's why I asked

Hozi4065d ago

You think Square Enix deliberately delayed VERSUS, because they knew the PS4 would be out this year and wanted to port it to the PS4?

Karooo4065d ago (Edited 4065d ago )

This is just not possible. I don't think these guys know how FFXIII looked like on the PS3.

A Look Through the Absolute Best PS2 Games of All Time

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow190d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga189d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183189d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB189d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic189d ago (Edited 189d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo189d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic189d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.

FFX and FFX-2 Do Not Need a Sequel

As a complete duology, Final Fantasy X and X-2 just do not need a sequel. These games provided us with satisfying conclusions to the characters' journeys and meaningfully wrapped up their arcs. And after the terrible way -Will- presented its narrative, feeling more like an attempt to capitalize on the previous game's success than a well-crafted and meaningful sequel, that's all the more reason to just let FFX be what it already is. Any further attempts to force a sequel will only diminish the legacy and impact of Final Fantasy X and X-2.

If they do another one, I'd really like to see more of a focus on the connection to FF VII. Since it was confirmed that they take place in the same world. Let's just keep the pop star element out of it for the next one... I really enjoyed X-2 as a game, but man that decision for Yuna and Rikku's character direction wasn't the right choice.

shinoff2183318d ago

The connection to 7 would be dope af. I can even begin to think how'd they do it. I mean storywise and stuff I know about the Shinra stuff and everything. I'd be down with a 10 3

-Foxtrot318d ago (Edited 318d ago )

Nope

https://www.finaland.com/?r...

It wasn't supposed to be taken seriously

"This story is a bit of a joke. When we created FFX-2, we wanted to create something, a totally new world. Except that when I created it, I realized that it looked a lot like FFVII ... But without realizing it. Afterwards, when it was officially said in Ultimania, it took a completely gigantic proportion when it was just an anecdote"

Thank God anyway

It's better when each FF is a different Universe

Snookies12318d ago (Edited 318d ago )

Except, it is canonically connected in the VII Remake. There's a Shinra character in X-2, who is actually shown in a picture on the wall in the Shinra HQ in Remake. Meaning at the very least, X and VII share the same world in the Remake version.

CrimsonWing69318d ago

@Snookies12

I thought they said that was just a joke:

―It’s a sequel to VII?!!
Kitase: “No, that was halfway a joke. However, in FFVII’s ending, Holy was supposed to settle things, then it’s suddenly ‘500 years later,’ and there’s been nothing like a sequel for it. There’s room to fill in that gap. There’s room for imagination. Since Nojima-san and Toriyama-san have worked together since then, talk that it could be possible with those staff members built up for a moment.”

―So, how did talk of it as a sequel to VII come up?
Nojima: “I felt that VII and X had a relatively connected feeling, that VII has an essence there.”

―Ehh, so VII and X are connected?
Nojima: “No, there isn’t much to it. For example, what happens when people die is fundamentally the same in my mind. I wrote both stories following the same idea. At times, other thoughts pop up, though. Pyreflies are green here and there, and other colors besides.”

https://thelifestream.net/c...

I think they were just having fun and making a gag out of it.

Name Last Name318d ago

@Snookies12 those are just easter eggs

-Foxtrot318d ago

@Snookies12

Easter eggs man nothing more

Like I said it's better for them to have their own Universe then being connected

I mean think about it...FFVII and FFX are completely different outside of those small little things, the worlds are like Night and Day

Flawlessmic319d ago

Nope but I sure would love a remake of ffx, my fav ff game along with 9.

JokerBoy129318d ago

Oh man, never thought I'd see someone with the same favorites as me lol. We're supposedly getting a remake of 9 at some point. I'm hoping we get something new from the FFX universe.

shinoff2183318d ago

I cannot wait for the remake of 9. It's got me pumped and it's not even official. Ff9 is damn near perfect imo

Abnor_Mal318d ago (Edited 318d ago )

I just saw a video about a rumor that Sony may have secured the rights for FF9 exclusivity for some possible remake.

Skip ahead to the 2:30 mark

Okay didn’t see others already said it

gold_drake319d ago

technically, they already do. in form of a novel and audio thing.

but .. i dunno. ive always wanted a prequel with the three guys.

not sure what else there is to tell about Spira.

shinoff2183318d ago

Sorry for the spoiler if true

Is it true if you complete x2 100 percent tides comes back in some way. I never 100 percented it.

Name Last Name318d ago

Yes, the Fayth ask Yuna if she wants to see him and they dream him up again.

shinoff2183318d ago

Thanks. That pretty much what I read.
