When Versus was first revealed, the majority of the footage was in this beautifully realized urban area. It looked fantastic. Sure, the grasslands stuff was a part of that trailer, but it was a small part of it. Everything they've been showing off, apart from the original re-reveal trailer, has been grasslands. And it just does nothing for me. It reminds me of my least favourite part of FF XIII, which was the Monster-Hunter-lite part in the final quarter. And at least XIII had combat going for it which I quite enjoyed. The fighting here looks so slow and very WRPG-esque to me. It was slow in the Versus XIII trailer but it's even slower now. And aside from that, the whole feel of it just looks even more westernized than XIII. I'm not feeling it right now. I'm hoping soon they show off more of the urban areas like was originally revealed; tweaks to the combat system and some more Japanese-ness (as weird as that sounds). I'm still interested in the game but right now, what they're showing is hitting all the wrong notes. |
everything being shown now are grasslands cause well, the episode duscae is based in an grasslands area. what you should be taking from the previews though is the scale. Duscae according to the devs is a very very small part of the FF world.
Personally, I'm completely wowed by the scale in this game from what little has been shown and I live the combat. This is the final fantasy I have been waiting for since FF7.
