* "FF13 this December in japan."
* "Mark my words. FF13 this December in japan. Playable demo this year at TGS(which I am going too) and playable demo for japan right before release."
* "This game will not have a WW release due to localization issues. It will hit japan first then NA/ EU the following year but within the fiscal."
* "It could but the impact of the game will not be as huge. The game must hit japan this xmas to keep the current interest in Japan. This is the reason why SE will own this TGS."
This is pretty exciting news for us Playstation 3 owners and RPG lovers. I hope all this is true."
While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.
Alex Donaldson: "Hindsight is a hell of a thing, however, and in the years since Final Fantasy XIII, my respect for the decisions its developers made has skyrocketed. In the two Final Fantasy titles since we see both the brilliance and the folly in alternative approaches - and in Final Fantasy VII Remake, we get a more nuanced understanding of what FF13 was trying to accomplish from many of the same development leads."
FFXIII is actually one of the best Final Fantasy games.
I also sort of was disappointed at the time, never as much as the bandwagon. But really all the fantastic 3D rendered cutscenes and I actually liked the characters and the story though convoluted was actually fantastic and the ending was extremely emotional. So much budget and time were put into that game Square had such big plans, I actually have always felt kind of bad for how things played out.
I have been thinking for years how great it would be to get all three games on one disk for PS4 or 5.
i liked the game alot but i didnt like how they handled the terminology.
i dont mind reading data logs but it had soo many.
but i always loved the music and how it looked. the battle system wasnt too bad either.
but i like 13-2 more :)
i still dont understand why we never got a remaster of the trilogy
XIII is a pretty solid game, but XIII-2 is WAY better. XIII-2 was one of the few games I decided to go for a Platinum trophy in, early on. Had so much fun the entire way through getting it too!
I hated this to when it released. I haven't much liked a ff game since ff10 as much , aside from ff7remake. I decided to give it another shot on my series x since it's not on a current ps and was liking it quite a bit(just takes me some time to get over things ) until star ocean 2 remake came out I was all over that.
Square should definitely remaster it or something for ps4 ps5
Square Enix Blog: "How do you compose iconic songs that help define a legacy? We speak to legendary composer Masashi Hamauzu about his work on Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XIII, and Final Fantasy VII Remake, and how to make unforgettable music."
How an EA rep knows anything is beyond me.... I believe the game will release worldwide at the same date or week.
BUT, what if...... :)
Even if this forum member is from EA, why or how would anyone from EA know what Square is doing? Fake.
Nobody in Japan is going to give a damn about it if FFXIII is launched in december. But that is a nice move by Square anyway, since Last Remnant will sell in the west because the fanboys will love how it is a timed exclusive.
"EA and Square Enix have a good relationship so chances are these rumors are true. "
Since when?
I HOPE SO!
didn't Square come out and say that from the beginning of 08 ALL games would have simultaneous ww releases. I'm pretty sure this is gona apply to what...oh thats right, two of their biggest releases ever. I don't see them going back on this. I'll take the word of Square over an EA employee any day.
