it seems that square has shared some promotional Copies.. but i dont get how a german gets one. and that in such a short time period from japan to europe. (he wasnt there, and he dont care for FF in general. still wating for a reply.)

Obviously focus group tests. The developers of FFXIII said they did focus groups too late for the game, looks like this time they are doing them now so there's a good 10 months to go before end of development so feedback can be implemented. Its good to see developers learning from mistakes.

but as i said, he isnt a japanese, he is a student, he hasnt any relation tos quare, and he dont care for FF. in fact, he is selling his copy with 70% off the trophies yet to obtain..
okay, we could tell that he's one tough guy, but i dont think Square should give promo copies to people who just dont like RPGs.

This is Western focus group testing. Can you not call him up and confirm?
|
well he's from a german board (Videogameszone.de), and i dont have any special relation to him, he's just a user there, i am a mod.
Until now, there was no reply. (except ~ Random User: 'Hey Crystal, Why do you cover his name?' FFXIII-2user: 'im sure crystal wouldnt want to cause thousands of spammails into my PSN Mailbox. ~ .. thats it.. it could be that he wont be replying how, or why (Because of dataprotection? if it really is a focus group test, could it be a problem to him, when he says too much..?). sadly. but i am sure there will be some news about that soon.)

At least try to ask him if its more open-world please!
|
There is no doubt that it will be more open world, and less linear. i think a lot of the things from FF12 will make a return, like exploration, cities and towns, many NPCs, many sidequests, much more customisable characters, an awesome sword fight with GIlgamesh, mark hunting, only with a lot more depth like in FF12. where NPCs tell you about how to track down and defeat your marks.
the only thing i think will be the same, is the same melodrama, the same awful dialogue and the same awful voice acting with the characters, and possibly the same abysmal story, which will make it bargain bin for me, if i decide to get it at all.
Toriyama has already spoken about how his team is working to respond to the opinions of FF13, imo theres no doubt their going to implement those things that everyone has spoken about.
