well i am a "westerner" that things japanese makes better things,

hell even sales wise we are being killed by the japanese.

=P

 

 Japanese take western concepts that were given up on and capitalize on it. American car companies destroyed their chance to be the most advanced car makers. They had the patents for quick, soundless and emissionless electric car, but they fucked it up because the oil companies bought the patents, forcing us the depend on oil. America of all the western nations is one of the most internally sabotaged places from within because a small group of greedy people who tell us what we can and cannot buy. The Japanese took over based on the fact that so many things we had were dropped.t

they still had to compete average mileage of japanese cars and reliability still way ahead american cars,  GM may even disappear in 5 years.

Look up the EV1 electric car from GM and get back to me on this so called superiority mileage theory of yours with the Japanese. I tell you that we were sabotaged by the oil companies.

"emissionless electric car". thats the biggest BS of the 21t century they will never exist.



This is it -- what almost all RPG fans have been waiting for. Square released a PS3 Final Fantasy XIII demo overnight in Japan, and after the dramatic changes set in Final Fantasy XII, players' expectations have been running high. After finishing the demo, I have to say I like where things are going.

Here are a handful of things that the demo does differently from other games in the series:

 

  • There's no MP. That's right, use all the magic you want.
  • There are no level-ups or XP.
  • There are no random battles, with all enemies seen on-screen.
  • Combat moves very quickly, and you can queue up to three actions at a time.
  • Party members are completely AI controlled.

The demo starts with Lightning, a female ex-soldier for the holy order, who escapes from a train with a man named Pazu into the middle of a war between the people who live in the "Cocoon" and "Parushi" worlds. Following that, you take control of another character named Snow, who's a fist punchin', blonde haired, blue eyed leader of a small pocket of Cocoon resistance.

 

This all climaxes -- spoiler alert -- when a large number of Snow's comrades die at the hands of the Parushi army, which strikes me as a bit dark for a Final Fantasy game. From what I can gather, it appears the people (robots?) from the world of Parushi are using the people from Coccoon as slaves, and the people from Coccoon are resisting them. The demo doesn't go into much detail on this front, likely on purpose to save the story for the full game.

The demo's graphics look amazing, though they have a somewhat uneven framerate -- which is nothing unusual for a game that's still a year away (reports say this code is from December 2008), but a bit strange for a publicly released demo. While the graphics are quite beautiful, the music is equally impressive. The battle theme is so good you just have to hear it for yourself. Coupled with the new, more action based combat mechanics, it really gets you into the fight like no other Final Fantasy game before it.

 A full electric car doesn't add CO2 to the atmosphere. Cars that are dependant on Oil, alternative energy (biofuels) and natural gas are. The EV1 did exist (look it up for proof) and were sold in California in the early 90's but were scrapped because the oil companies bought the patents. The electric cars were used in Cali because that area of the US was having terrible pollution problems from too much CO2 going into the atmosphere. Electric cars would decrease the amount of emissions released by humans. They want to keep us dependent on oil. Watch the documentary "Who killed the electric car?" The only reason Hybrids exist are because oil companies want to hold onto your wallet.
