Choze Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 FF XII FF VS XIII Looking fun already. Should be a nice change from WOW.
McMad Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 FF XII I'm liking the fact that for once a male character made by Tetsuya Nomura doesn't look like a woman. (Referring to the blonde guy with the gun btw )
Aimless Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 The production values for these games are ridiculous. Quite how Square-Enix intend to turn a profit I don't know.
Choze Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 Shouldnt have a problem. This is a main number Final fantasy so it will be great. We need more Japanese games!
jammy2211 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 The production values for these games are ridiculous. Quite how Square-Enix intend to turn a profit I don't know. Developing two games on the same engine means developement costs are less and sales are doubled. I still think they'll struggle to turn a profit, but having two games instead of one is a huge advantage.
Aimless Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I still think they'll struggle to turn a profit, but having two games instead of one is a huge advantage. Yeah, that is a good point. Still, just the amount of assets required... Detail wise those shots at least equal Advent Children, and that wasn't constrained to a single machine. Come to think of it I don't really know much about FFXIII other than I'll end up buying it. I hope it's a character driven tale; FFXII's politics left me cold.

Especially the scene showing the girl looking over the cliff. Here is a XIII screen
Razz Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Whoa she's skinny. Anyway, what's with the typo on the attack list? "Blizzrad"?
Choze Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 Whoa she's skinny. Anyway, what's with the typo on the attack list? "Blizzrad"? BLizzard are looking to sue them. I think thats the reason. http://i28.tinypic.com/241ti5v.jpg I hope blu ray means 1080p full screen CG.
Aimless Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 No Advent children is too much Not really. As I said, those CG shots are at least equal to the film in terms of detail, and I don't think it's far fetched to suggest there will be at least 40 minutes of FMV in the game. Add the contents of the actual game onto that and you're looking at a hefty price tag. Razziatore, I believe the snaps are from target footage. As in, "We hope the actual game will be something like this." Seeing as most likely no one working on it was a native English speaker typos aren't that unexpected.
jammy2211 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I do wonder, with the sheer incredible detail in the screenshots, and the fact it's made on the black engine which is exclusive to PS3, would porting either game to 360 be technically impossible? Or at least financially unjustifiable? This game is shaping up just... amazing. They're going no holds barred to make it the best it can be. PS3 simply needs more projects like this, I hope Sony has a deep wallet...
Mundi Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 So they went from having male protagonists that look like females to female protagonist who looks like a man. A bold move :P Also i remember reading a age and a half ago that the game was being made on a open engine so porting is a possibility. Which of course i doubt will happen except if the game flops....
Guest Jordan Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Theres no way in hell this is going to fit on a single Blu Ray disc... :p
Domstercool Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 How are people wondering if they are making a profit or not? You don't even know how much it's going to cost to make it in the first place. Just because it looks ace in graphics, doesn't mean it has to cost a bomb to make. If MGS4 has to sell a million in 1 day. New FF games always sell more than that on the first day anyway. Well FFX was on a single DVD, hell so was FFXII. I think it will fit on a 50GB Blu-Ray with ease! :P
Roostophe Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 So they went from having male protagonists that look like females to female protagonist who looks like a man. A bold move :P Am I the only person in the entire world who has never mistaken a boy for a girl, and vice-versa? Mundi, it's obvious she's a lass. Because she has breasts!... Can you not see?
Mundi Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Am I the only person in the entire world who has never mistaken a boy for a girl, and vice-versa? Mundi, it's obvious she's a lass. Because she has breasts!... Can you not see? I said she looks like a man not is a man
Roostophe Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 I said she looks like a man not is a man But you see she doesn't! I know you and I both wear glasses, but it appears your eyesight is considerably worse than mine. :wink:
Dante Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 I said she looks like a man not is a man What? Anyway Lighting has the best design in the FF series.
McMad Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Personally I'm more excited about Versus XIII; I've always wondered what a Final Fantasy would be like if it were set in the modern era.
Calza Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Personally I'm more excited about Versus XIII; I've always wondered what a Final Fantasy would be like if it were set in the modern era. ... So you just disregarding 7,8, and maybe 10?
McMad Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 ... So you just disregarding 7,8, and maybe 10? Seven was set in a neo-steam-punk world quite different from ours. Final Fantasy 8 is just plain wierd; while in some places there are cities that resemble our time period in other periods of the game you drive a flying school where the children of the future are trained to become elite warriors. And Final Fantasy 10 was set in a reality quite different to ours with far more futuristic technology. When I say the 'modern era' I mean it is set in a contemporary world which actually resembles the world we live in, even Tetsuya Nomura (the director) has said this; "Versus XIII is supposed to resemble the modern-day world. I wanted to make this world resemble our world we live in today." That's why I'm excited about it.
Ramar Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Games like this and MGS4 give me evil thoughts of buying a PS3.
Roostophe Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Games like this and MGS4 give me evil thoughts of buying a PS3. You might as well give in...do not resist...
Ramar Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 You might as well give in...do not resist... To be fair by the time either this or MGS4 is out I'd probably be in a position to consider buying one. Currently the games I want, price I want and console version (I want backwards compatibility!!) are unavailable.
Roostophe Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 I don't know when I'll get a PS3. But there is perhaps a very big chance that I'll have a PS3 at the end of the year...
