Anyone keeping an eye on this juggernaut ?

I'm utterly pleased to see the series return to the steampunk setting (concept wise) and turn based battle system (gameplay wise).

I was completely wowed by the 20 minute demo uploaded on youtube, and looking forward to play it.


There's also Final Fantasy versus XIII, another game, developed by Tetsuya Nomura, the genius behind final fantasy 7. FF-Versus will be the FIRST game in the series to be Mature rated, and it's slated to be one of the darkest, most mature FF releases ever. I'm having high expectations towards versus.

I am willing to steal from my parents to buy FF-XIII when it's released and of course I won't be trading it. Besides Versus will take a little longer to release. I have a feeling the Nomura wants to see how versus XIII will do before he decides a remake of FF-VII next-gen. any anime fans here ?!
I'm an anime fan.

Fav series : Death Note, Monster, Basilisk, Shigurui, Trinity Blood, Hellsing. I'm interested in Bleach, but i dont think I have the volition, time, and narcissism to download and watch a 250+ episode series thats still running. Too much time consuming.
Don't tell me this is the game with a guy called cloud in it! -_-

Walla I think that FF13 won't be as good as the hypre around it is generated, bas min shuf.
FFXIII is one of the most anticipated games this years.
I play FF just to follow the amazing story.
All Jap anime have amazing story.
It had shitty reviews. :(

The game has no visitable towns, no side quests / optional megabosses. It's just about going from one dungeon to another.

Famitsu (one of the most respectable Japanese gaming mags) gave it a 39/40 and this magazine does not easily dish out perfect and almost perfect scores.

I'll be getting the game 3ala kil il a7wael.

And true, Final Fantasy Versus 13 looks very interesting and I guess we'll be seeing a lot of info on the game once E3 comes this year.
It has got mixed reviews, the one Famitsu gave it and a Chinese magazine gave it a 4/10.
I for one don't let FF games, don't like the battle sequences
Chinese magazine? Lah ya zalaemeh.

Anyways, if you don't like FF games, this one will not change your mind.

Famitsu gives anything with Pokemon, final fantasy or basically anything Japanese-ish that score.

anyway, as a small side note it seems that FF13 will be mostly videos, 32GB worth to be exact... no wonder this is gonna be 3 discs for 360 :P

well, would it be a final fantasy if it didn't have lots of cinematics?

Here is the drill: PS3's bluray carries more uncompressed textures and audio to the 50GB range at 54megabits/sec which is enough (may be) and 1080p cinematic but in this case most of the space is taken by 1080p cinematic but the main concept will be implemented in the future like on 500GB bluray which will significantly decrease the load of the RSX (this shows the power of the Xenos).

It's getting trashed by the press.

There's no towns to visit and sidequests to do. Just an endless stream of dungeons.

Can anyone imagine FF7 (or any FF game, for the matter) without towns and sidequests ?

Teh sux!
