1.1 - Square you've put out some really sub-par stuff
over this generation. I'm holding out hope that FFXIII is going to be that game that brings me back into the Square fanboy group which I once belonged to.

1.3 - I watched the 3rd trailer,
the beginning portion with Snow and lightning 's sister looked like CG, especially when you compared to the cut scene in the middle of the trailer (the part where they start having subtitle for the voice actor/actress).

If it's not CG in the beginning, that first part has higher quality hair and more polygons than the cut scene in the middle of that trailer.

SE, please add English sub or add Japanese VO for the American version. Thanks.

The CG stuff looks awesome but the ingame just looks mediocre at best. I really hope this game does not disappoint me, iv been looking forward to it for years!

you can definitely tell where the cg stops and the in game begins, but the in game is looking very nice too. i'm a sucker for a good dramatic story, so this should be up my alley.

i'm also hoping for some VS news too, but that's probably wishful thinking.

Thats exactly what I came in here to comment on. haha. WTF?! KIDDY FIDDLER!

I fell out with square the day I played ff12. Waited so long for that game and when it finally hit Europe I was so disappointed, had to be one of the worst ff's in a long time. The characters weren't likable or memorable at all in my opinion and as the first proper FF game since FFX (X-2 not included) it was a huge dissapointment. Since then I've avoided Square like the plague. Lost Odyssey to me was more Final Fantasy than FF12.

Anyways, I'll probably pick this up on ps3 once its out, although I must say I'm more intereted in ff13 versus. Dunno why it just seems more final fantasy to me than ff13, although ff13 is still lookin good, I was planning on avoiding ff13 but it does look pretty good, gameplay looks like alot of fun too.

Hmmm... i doubt they'll put both English and Japanese VO for the NA release. Mainly because that would put the 360 version in such a bad position. How many more disks would they need for that?

Unless SE doesnt care about MS then they might put it in the PS3 version... but i highly doubt that.

I dont understand why we couldnt fight on the same plane where we met the enemy but instead we have to fight load elsewhere. FF12 made fighting and exploring so hassle free. It also looks like they intended to make the game play like FF12 but changed the idea for some odd reason.

I really hope Versus would have a Kingdom Hearts type fighting gameplay. It'll be like Final Fantasy meets Devil May Cry... if only. Then all those trailers would make sense.

On a side note: Damn! That girl is tiny compared to the guy! He'll break her open in pain. Lolita?

The story looks to be interesting, lots of CGI.

The combat also looks fast-paced and pretty deep.

1.17 - Although I can't understand Japanese, I can guess what's going on
In the opening scene, I'm positive that that's Lighting and Snow, who are obviously in love. That leads me to believe that Sarah could be their daughter (POSSIBLY people, not 100% sure). There are other obvious things that are shown, like Sazh's summon. But toward the end, there is a lady with the same mark as Snow, and I'm pretty sure that that's the mark for l'Cies, so that would mean that she's like the rest of the group.

Again, this is all speculation, but could be possible.

1.19 - As frustrated as I am with Square
I just hope they come out with an awesome Final Fantasy experience. I'm pissed about them selling out and sacrificing the quality of the game, but as long as the damage is minimal I can let it go. I miss the excitement of beginning a new FF and loving every minute of it, FFX was too pg13 for me, no grit, no harsh language or mature themes, nothing risky about it, it was too commercialized. FFXI, didn't play it for obvious reasons. FFXII had it's charms, but I had little to no emotional attachment to anyone in the game. I need me some FF, hopefully XIII delivers. The trailer certainly looked intriguing.

1.20 - Yea looks ok
But honestly, the world in FF13 looks like some disgusting jurassic park/starwars bit....and to me that's horrible..but i'm a final fantasy fan...not going to let this stop me from purchasing..still can be a lovely game overall.

Oh, wow. This looks like it will be a special game after all. In-game hair better than MGS4....facial in-game animation almost as good as cg counterpart. Technically, this game is indeed a masterpiece. The lighting in game is so CG-like. Did you all see the GIANT FREAKING DINOSAUR..IN GAME, OMG!!!

The environments and combat are impressive. I agree with that.

But I don't see why you're saying that in-game character models are CGI. There are nothing like that.

I dont know why but I used to be excited for this game and now after seeing the battle system and all am not to impressed...idk its strange

Ill buy regardless and see how dumb i was for doubting it =)

I guess its just the characters that dont appeal to me compared to versus...even though there is no gameplay u can tell it will be a great game

The japanese version of this game is not the one the rest of the world will get? This will be the pure PS3 version and not the optimized for 360 version?

There is no pure PS3 version. All the versions will pretty much be the same. The only thing SE is changing becuase of the 360 version is the lack of multiple languages.

They arent going to change PS3 versions. Too much unnecessary work to avoid negative publicity. The 360 version may look different but I think the PS3 versions in different areas will look different.

20.2 - Listen
NO.

The playable footage they showed at Microsh*ts E3 conference looked ever so slightly better then the PS3 demo but thats mostly because it was a newer build.

The point I am trying to make is the game has been seen running on the 360 and it didn't look any worse.

I may be a PS3 fanboy but even I can agree the downgrade talk was complete BULL**** in the end.

That was the most epic thing I have seen!

I would've preferred Japanese audio with subs, but it really doesn't matter as long as I get to play this.

I believe this game is meant to be played on the PS3, but it's always good when you can welcome a broader audience to a series you love. Personally, I can't go through the disk swapping ordeal so it's the PS3 version for me.

im so psyched for this game!!!!!!!!!!
just two months away from japanese release

Did anyone else notice that the tattooed girl they debuted in the trailer looks an awful lot like Kristen Stewart from twilight???

i cannot wait for this game to come out. it looks VERY ffx as far as the emotional level.
i mean, i dont speak japanese, and their emotions came across very clear.

i hope they really put alot into the story. we dont want another watered-down plot *ahem...ffxii*

Can't wait to play this game! Looks like the CG will be awesome, and a love story comparable to FFVIII. I hope they keep the theme song in Japanese and not mess it up by Americanizing it....
