I very much doubt it.

FF7 was the defining game of the PS1, and arguably that generation. Final Fantasy XIII is not.

And Lightning's hairstyle is boring.

FF13 can be the defining game for PS3

lets talk simple numbers

apart from the modern warfares & GT5 & GTA

there is no game that will outsell FF1 3on PS3

it will be the definitive RPG of this generation & break new boundries

Square Enix says so themselves

Agent has a shot.

As does Uncharted 3.

ROFLMAO

sure.......

____

Agent may do it actually

@xen

YEAH

that silly statement they made like how many years ago now has been take way to literally

Please stop insulting lightnings personality by comparing her to cloud!!!!!!!!!!!!

@CGI

YES!!!!!

NO! Cloud DEFINES the Final Fantasy Saga!

"I do not accept these claims"!

YES! Final Fantasy needs a NEW "definer".....lightning will give them that!!!!!

She will come as close as they can get, I mean squall, tail boy, tidus & vaan FAILED

lightning can prevail!

lol @ the end part, numonex's post is STILL remembered I see.....thats one for the record books for sure!

I think Final Fantasy 13 has a chance to be iconic. Luckly for FF13, jrpgs have been pretty damn weak this generation (other then ToV, VC and LO). FF13 might just be the game to get gamers to love the jrpgs genre again and motivate other gaming companys that make jrpgs to elevate there games (just like what FF7 did). Lightning just need to be a badass character with a badass rival (cause seriously, without Sephiroth, Cloud wouldn't be as popular as he is today and without Cloud, Sephiroth wouldn't be as popular as he is now). FF13 also needs a standout moment that will be remembered by gamers for years to come (like with Aerith's death scene in FF7).

Totally agree

FF13 should have these moments

the end of the new trailer is ICONIC....amazing scene, it will have many more

& the villain & hero bit, it reminded me of this famous dialogue:

Joker to BAtman "without you I am incomplete"

something like that.....I loved that bit in batman!

No way.

Agent? Really? I don't think so :P I have doubts about Uncharted 3 too. IMO the most iconic game on the PS3 now is MGS4. In the future it could be GT5 and FF XIII can definitely be too.

what do you mean you have "doubts" about uncharted 3

there is no way in hell its getting close to 5 or 6 million on the PS3

GT5 yes.....it will be HUGe, people will love it.....but its a racing game....so it won't have like a "person" who's iconic

FF13's lightning can give them that

psssssst....I sneakily insulted FF9 in my reply to CGI & you didn't notice....muwhahahahaha!!!!!

More popular than Cloud? NO!
More popular than Lara Croft? Fuck NO!

Can you elaborate on your controversial points please?

Why isn't this possible?

You call my points controversial? You are suggesting that Lightning will become more popular than the two gaming icons known as Cloud Strife and Lara Croft.

I bet she won't be as popular as Yuna.

Also can you please explain to me how you think FFXIII will sell 10 million? I keep asking you this and you keep mentioning marketing campaigns. It's going to take a hell of a lot more than marketing to sell 10 million.

ROFL ROFL ROFL

she'll beat that spineless woman anyday!

Now on FF13 & 10 million:

this is the first FF of its gen = 7 Million + already

Gamers are STARVED for aJRPG

Story looks iconic

Characters look amazing

PS360 have a HUGE installed base

Most of all.....its a game that can definetely define a genre & change a few things.

Why FFXIII won't sell 10 million:

The Japanese gaming industry isn't as strong as it used to be.

Pre-orders are more than FFXII but less than FFX. (I expect it to outsell FFXII at least).

The western market is thriving with shooters and WRPGs now being a lot more popular than JRPGs.

The only system that can sell JRPGs is the DS which it isn't on.

The game but it is clearly not genre-defining. FF hasn't evolved at all.

The graphics aren't very good.

The story is the same old kids saving the world thing that we have seen in JRPGs 1000 times before.

Did you really have to call him Tail Boy, Darth....his name is Zidane, but anyway.

Lightning has a shot, because to me she has way more character than Cloud. Cloud was boring to me. I just hope she has decent character growth throughout story, because from what I understood from the novel chapters so far, she's quick to judge people.



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix!

Cloud to Lighting: Have you ever been mistaken for a man?
Lighting to cloud: No... have you.

haha oh Aliens haha. But I have no idea I hope so. Definitely a lot better to look at and not as whiny.

ROFLMAO

great post

I hope you are excited for this game zucas!

I do have it reserved.  But I probably shouldn't tell anyone my little secret when it comes to Final Fantasy although Outlaw knows and is outraged haha.

1. I agree......but it will be bigger in the west

2. Source for that claim? who said FFX pre-orders > FF13's

3. So? all the more reason for FF13 to be that iconic JRPG that bring the genre back to life...its a good thing JRPG's haven't done much this gen, FF13 can take advantage of that

4. Lost Oddesy sold 800K....which is A LOT for a JRPG

combined Tales Of Vesperia has sold very well in Japan

Whit Knight Chronicles (On PS3) is Level 5's best selling JRPg barring the DQ games & Rogue Galaxy (which it should surpass hopefully)

Also FF13 will once again bring the genre to life

5. FF13 has evolved......you just haven't looked for the right info, they are adding new things into it.

6. In motiont hey are amazing from the trailers we have seen, gaming journalists have praised its graphics too

8. Yes "kids" who are over all 18 except for Hope....nice word there. & saving the world.....oh yeah thats done in 90% of the games out be it JRPG, WRPG, shooter, FPS so on & so forth.

Once again research about its story more, you will find its actually not that cliched.....which I was surprised about. but beware, there are minor spoilers present, if you want the story to really surprise you, pretend I said nothing

Lightning wont be more popular than Cloud...but Noctis has a better chance =)
