Blue_Ninja0 Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 I did my part, while listening to the awesome music.
Hero-of-Time Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 To me, it looks like Wii's Kingdom Hearts. I LOVE the KH series and would rather have KH3 than this.
killer kirby Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 To me, it looks like Wii's Kingdom Hearts. Na, this game looks like you have to think for once. Usually in kingdom Hearts, the gameplay goes along the lines of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXOXXXXXXXXXOXXXXXXXXXX
Ganepark32 Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 I can understand the pessimism towards this title but really, Crystal Chronicles was a good game that looked, sounded and played incredibly well. Ok, it wasn't the true FF experience many were looking for and the same can be said here, although that statement could be retracted the more we see of this as it does look to have moved in the same direction of the other FF titles, but what it gave was pretty good. In my eyes, if Square-Enix can at least replicate that feeling that the first title left with you then it's a winner in my eyes because I loved the first title. From what we've seen, we're getting a much more open game than last time. Fields of play look to be larger and perhaps all interlinked as one big landmass (although this hasn't been confirmed but it does look like it could be true). Graphically, it looks good so far, with some of the effects, noticeably the gravity attack, looking superb. It's merely a case of wait and see what else gets shown but I think it'll only get better the more that is shown.
D_prOdigy Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Personally, what we've seen so far has given me enough reason to get excited. Awesome graphics/music, large cities, an open world where things actually happen, real-time combat, varied gameplay (puzzles, etc), epic cut-scenes, huge monsters.

Awesome graphics/music, large cities, an open world where things actually happen, real-time combat, varied gameplay (puzzles, etc), epic cut-scenes, huge monsters. Yip, exactly the same reasons as me, and we haven't seen some 'proper' gameplay yet I'm so hoping for online in this, the CC series always focused on multiplayer, so hope this follows Echoes of Time.
Retro_Link Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Is that guy supposed to be trapped under that? cos it looks wierd!
ShadowV7 Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 It's what I thought. Probably related to some sort of side quest where you just lift the rock off of him or you first using your power.
The-chosen-one Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Is that guy supposed to be trapped under that? cos it looks wierd! hahah LOL it looks like he is f**cking that big stone
killer kirby Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Yip, exactly the same reasons as me, and we haven't seen some 'proper' gameplay yet We have seen some from the trailer I think (May not be much, but at least we know how things will look when playing it), which is shocking from Square-Enix, because it's only usually Dragon Quest that get shown gameplay footage right away instead of just showing cutscenes of the same shit over and over again and then having to say 'Trailer with proper in-game footage!!!'. The first time I just saw the trailer for this I have a feeling we get right into the game rather then sitting down with some popcorn and waiting forever before being able to move
ShadowV7 Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 The trailer thingy I didn't really count though since it was just fooling about in the desert. Even though I think it looks great, some proper main story stuff would be nice.
Shino Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 I LOVE the KH series and would rather have KH3 than this. And I would prefer a new Mario to this. But, alas, it is a different game. There's lots of things the game has shown that appeals to me, like real time combat with telekinetic powers, ability to use said powers outside the battle in a big open world, side quests, all npc's (from enemies to normal people) seem to have an emotional and interaction system, and the ability to fucking fly (hopefully).
Hero-of-Time Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 These trailers are really doing nothing for me, its just random stuff at the moment that quite frankly have me a little confused. I can't wait to see a traditional OTT S-E trailer for this game though.
ShadowV7 Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Least we're getting some footage to see what it's like. I don't want to have big long pauses with no info at all and hearing rumours of development trouble Still, the random footage is a bit odd.
darksnowman Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 These trailers are really doing nothing for me, its just random stuff at the moment that quite frankly have me a little confused. I can't wait to see a traditional OTT S-E trailer for this game though. I've just watched those last two vids you guys posted and I'm kind feeling the opposite- its weird and confusing seeing these snippets, but its making me all the more curious! Seeing a cinematic would be too epic for us.
Hero-of-Time Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Seeing a cinematic would be too epic for us. This is how I like my FF trailers, epic music + FMV = WIN
darksnowman Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 I'd not seen that trailer for Dissidia, mainly watched gameplay for it would you believe. Hearing the FF intro music played on piano sent a shiver down my spine!
Shino Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 This is how I like my FF trailers, epic music + FMV = WIN But it looks like EVERY other JRPG EVER! And it shows no gameplay!
Hero-of-Time Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) But it looks like EVERY other JRPG EVER! And it shows no gameplay! If it aint broke, dont fix it! Besides, Dissidia is a fighting game. For me the point of a trailer is to hype you up so you want to play the game from what ive seen of the Crystal Bearers it just doesnt scream "BUY ME!" IMO. EDIT: The next vid is here. Edited April 5, 2009 by Hero-of-Time
darksnowman Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Another mysterious video. Made all the more strange by the way he gets squashed at the end.
ShadowV7 Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Haha nice video there. End was pretty funny getting hit away like that.
Shino Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 It reminded me of Zelda for some reason, the sounds, the voice, the way he got knocked over like he got hit by a Goron.
Ganepark32 Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Some good news and some possibly worrying news: http://www.uffsite.net/news/197/the-crystal-bearers-to-be-open-world-have-waggle.html Open world gaming had to be a given just from seeing what we've got so far and it's nice that it is actually happening. Motion based movements is intriguing but also a little worrying in that it could be a completely unnecessary inclusion to the game. But it could turn out to be a great inclusion and further the immersion factor of the game. Guess we'll have to wait to hear more. Think they're building up to do a big reveal at E3. Would seem the best time to do it.
ghost_zero Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Regarding motion based: It depends on how well this is done. Maybe it will even take advantage of Motion Plus? But even if it has motion based gameplay, this doesn't mean that there won't be a traditional gameplay style. However, of course, it depends on how much the motion based gameplay is needed. Actually, motion based gameplay and open-world have brought the game a bit higher on my wish-list again - though I am still not sure if I shall buy it but that is because even though there is news, it still isn't much we know/saw about the game. Especially, how the game will be playable with the motion based controls.
Ganepark32 Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 The thing that has me worried about the motion based controls is that they're being used to map movement appearently. Not sure it's entirely necessary to map movement to motions but as you said, it depends on how they are integrated.
