Seems this new character has a decently modelled nose and actually looks humanoid, versus those freaks with triangular jaws at the bottom of the scan.

Is this game coming out for PC? If so, I might pick it up.

wat?

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Some of the Final Fantasy games have come out for PC and some haven't. What's so weird about that question?

You obviously know the answer to that. :/

No I don't. That's why I was asking. There were news stories floating around six months ago saying it was coming to PC, and an equal number of news stories dismissing that. I know it's being built on PC. Was there ever a final verdict as to whether it's coming to PC?

No, not yet. It may happen, it may not. I hope it does, it means I'll be playing it sooner

How are we supposed to know better then? That's why I find the question weird, because asking it right now is kind of like asking if Final Fantasy Versus XIII is going to come out on 360 as well, or is Star Ocean: The Last Hope really a 360 exclusive?

In two words: Who knows?



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

How did I know that if a black character is announced people would hate on him and SE. Idiots.

It is great that they have put a character like this in the game. And he looks very interesting.

Is it so wrong to hate Nomura's designs, regardless of race, gender, or creed?

 

 People are constantly hating on Nomura's designs. Popular things tend to be hated a lot. And it's okay when people are hating on Nomura for using so many belts and zippers, for his style. I like Nomura's style but I can see how other people can not.

   However this character is absolutely different for Nomura, and probably for the whole jRPG genre. He is clearly a guy (you cant mistake him with a female no matter how hard you try), he lacks zippers and only has a few belts. He is an adult, not a 16 year-old pretty boy. And he is black, dammit! A normal looking black dude, in a japanese RPG game! And he looks absolutely nothing like Balthier, Irvine or Barret.

   That's what is so cool about him. He looks so different from everything else Nomura and other jRPGs have produced recently. And that's why he is destined to be hated by many. That's a shame really.

O rly?

Look at Irvine again and you'll notice he's an Irvine of lower quality.

I think it's nice that SE has another black character, but just throwing one Afro-American character in the fold is to little.I like to see a Indian, Spanish or Asia character once in a while.

Actually, I thought Snow looked more like Irvine...

Wtf is up with all this hate?! And the level of homophobia here is also ridiculously high. So whenever a guy is not all muscular and bearded xerox copy of Marcus Phoenix (who btw is the most generic character ever, as are all the crowd from Gears of War) he's gay?!
@Rei: I completely agree. I hardly ever like Nomura designs, and this one I actually like. He'll never leave my party!

Qual é, Dadinho...?
