New Final Fantasy XIII Trailer is Somewhat Impressive

Andrew Weymes of The Nightly Gamer writes: The new Final Fantasy XIII trailer has been out for a few days on PSN. There is a lot to get excited for just from watching this trailer. It probably has the most gameplay footage most unmotivated gamers have seen thus far. This article is a general analysis of the good aspects of this trailer, the bad aspects of this trailer and the game overall.

i didnt like FF12, but i cant wait for this!

La Chance5561d ago

the trailer looked really cool though in my opinion there was too many guns , robots etc.
I prefer a more fantasy look than the shooter kind of look FF13 has.But it still looks really good.Impressine indeed.

Its going to be a long long wait.

MrWeymes5560d ago

It certainly looks good, but I wish Square Enix would adapt the art style a bit. I am one of the few people that thought Final Fantasy 9 was an awesome game with an endearing art style. 7 and 8 were unique as well, but since 10, it all looks the same.

La Chance5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

FF9 is my favourite game ever.
Youre not alone lol , me too I would love SE to go back to a FF9 kind of style.

Homicide5560d ago

I agree with you lachance. While I like this new look, I prefer they make a new IP out of it and just keep Final Fantasy with the medieval theme. I'm currently playing FFIV, and I'm loving every minute of it. FFIX and VI are among my favorites.

MrWeymes5560d ago

I suppose it goes against the opinions of most, but Final Fantasy 9 is my favorite of the PS1 era. I though 7 was great, as well as 8, but I loved the unique style of 9. It truly feels different than all of the others.

I'm worried that FF XIII is going to be too similar to the last couple of games.

Nomura,how's about you step outside the box a bit for Final Fantasy 13s Artstyle?You're doing so with Versus 13,do the same for FF13.

No FanS Land5560d ago

I just hope however I had a DL problem with the video on my PS3, because, there are some gameplay parts where it lagged.

Homicide5560d ago

The battle system looks pretty impressive. Kind of reminds me of a fast-paced Xenosaga.

GVON5560d ago

Still not sure about this yet,The cutscenes are sexy looking,but I thought the fight areas especially the ice section were bland looking with nothing going on.
I really need to get the demo or actually see footage of someone actually playing,interacting with environments and stuff and not just a trailer before I can get hyped though,
I am concerned we still haven't seen such footage yet,i'd expect it at E3 but god knows when we're really going to see it.

MrWeymes5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

There is supposed to be a demo of Final Fantasy XIII on the Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children Blu Ray, so when that comes out, I'll write a demo impressions article on The Nightly Gamer.

I'm also excited for Star Ocean: The Last Hope. As a big fan of JRPGs, and the series in general, I will review Star Ocean: The Last Hope for sure.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
