Final Fantasy XIII - Trailer

don't like :/

Could this be the game which really gets the HD systems moving in Japan?

From the look of this trailer, i would say, it's got a damn good chance!

meh

If that's still turn based fighting then it looks pretty fluid to me!
I would prefer a next-gen remake of FF7 to this though.

Looks great :) Better in japanese though..

looked rather poo tbh

I'm liking the combat looks more fluid than XII. Subtitles helped a lot in understanding the story...

I also would like a remake of FF7 but I'll buy this to keep me occupied.

Persona 4 will keep me busy till then!

That made no fucking sense whatsoever.

At least the characters and world look more interesting than FFXII, a good start

This is looking pretty good, I really hope they don't tone down the CGI on the ps3 beacuse of the limits of the 360 versions DVD storage though.. Im also wondering how many disks the 360 version is gona end up having with all that 1080p CGI. Im betting at least 4!

@Fendermaster - I disagree FF12 had a wonderful visual design, FF13 on the otherhand looks terrible, really awful work from all involved and a waste of millions.

I hope they offer some concrete gameplay details soon else my interest levels will not recover.

Oooer, looks pretty generic?

I can't follow the story, but it sure looks sexy.

You lot surely are a bunch of miserable sods though!

@Vertical Stand - What are you talking about? The art director of XIII is the same that of VII, VIII and X which are, imo, the best looking FF.. FF XII can't even touch the beauty of this art.. and the combat system? Pfff..

I'm not required to like everything people do, or even throughout the courseof a whole game (FF7 for example outside of Midgar is wildly uneven) this looks very off putting, the previous trailer look somewhat better, away from the Matrix rubbish.

For the record it I found FF8 to be all over the place as well but found enjoyment in aspects of the gameplay, which I didn't rule out here, so I'd rather see more gameplay than hyperactive cut scenes.

Air-juggling huge robots with swords just seems wrong.

J RPG.

Shit.

It does look awfully sexy. Once I've finished II, VI, VIII, X and XII I might get this...

And CapnCloudchaser is right; cheer up, you miserable lot. ;)

looks good! Time to get a PS3 finally?

Utterly incomprehensible.

I've managed 30-odd years without ever touching an FF game. Absolutely no reason to break with tradition on the basis of this pile of bobbins.

If you have a PS3 the 1080 or 720p versions are up on the store now as well. Very nice.

Ha yes.. a bunch of teenagers in 80s clothes fighting heavily armored troops and monsters. Final Fantasy at its best. Pile of nonsense.

"Ha yes.. a bunch of teenagers in 80s clothes fighting heavily armored troops and monsters. Final Fantasy at its best. Pile of nonsense. "

Ha! Yes, and a particle physicist running around some corridors killing aliens with a spanner was really realistic wasn't it?? Or a fat plumber jumping on monsters, while eating mushrooms that make him get bigger just mirrored real life....

For fucks sake - its a game. They can do whatever they like - its not real life...

"For fucks sake - its a game. They can do whatever they like - its not real life... "

They can.. sadly they have been doing the same thing for 20 years.

frankly im dissapointed that they have caved in to the whines and went back to atb's. Say waht you want about the shit story and utterly vapid characters of 12, but the gameplay was taken in a much needed and fresh direction. all the system from 12 needed was a little refineing for it to be perfect.

And what exactly does this offer that FFX didn't do eight years ago, other than more pretties? Squenix just seem to be repeating themselves.

You could say that about any series, doc.
