Lol I just noticed at the end of the 2 min video Noctis just gives them that LOOK "did you seriously try killing me with a rocket launcher?.... leave before I change my mind" *sits back on throne for another nap time....rofl priceless.

did you notice the part where his eyes turn red, this guy is kickarse, don't mess with noctis

Yea, his eyes turning red=people die all around. He has that charisma about him. I think the perfect box art for this game would have to be slightly subtle. Like have him either sitting at his throne with some dim lighting (Demon's Souls style) with the blades semi materialized surrounding him. Or it could also go further in the DS route and have his face looking locked in throught, holding his one of his blades (or the red eyes screen can work too). So much potential on the presentation side, I am sure Nomura's team will have a field day.

Wow...this is so shocking....PlayStation fans who think Versus will be better than XIII? How could that be?

Anyway....we haven't seen ANYTHING from Versus yet. We know who is working on it. He's a great developer/director. But the only trailers we've seen are CGI. I'd say we have to wait and actually see the game first before we set unrealistic expectations. A

Also, having played FFXIII now, I very very very VERY HIGHLY doubt vs. will be better.

I believe it is safe to say that at the very LEAST, in game graphics will be up to par with FFXIII, but may end up slightly better since it's being built from the ground up as a PS3 exclusive (whether it stays that way has yet to be seen, but I am hoping so). My expectations are as follows: KH style gameplay with a good amount of exploration/sidequests, dark theme, good story even if it becomes a truly shakespeare style tragedy, multiple endings (wishful thinking). I don't think my expectations are unrealistic. 

Those are very realistic...especially graphics. I mean, for all we know there is still 2 years till it releases. So yes, there's a good chance the graphics will look better cause the game will be years newer. You're other expectations also seem realistic.

What I was specifically reffering to was all the people who *suddenly* always thought Versus looked better than XIII. Or people who plan on buying XIII, without having seen thing, but don't even intend to try XIII. Why were all these people hiding when FFXIII was still a PS3 exclusive? Back in those days, I didn't hear a single person say Versus>XIII. Now, it's pretty much become the norm among PlayStation fans among the forums. It really bothers me as a PS fan myself to see such utter fanboyism.

You won't hear it from me because I am still not a member back then. lulz! ;-P

Wow. It seems like *every* thread where FF13 is mentioned has started turning into PS3 vs 360 console wars

Keep it up guys, this is very entertaining!

I can tell you one thing, the PS3 guys will "for some reason" just like it better than FFXIII (A lot already do, despite having played neither). I wonder why?



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

I am perhaps late to the party when it comes to threads about FF VS XIII, nonetheless when I saw the trailers AGAIN, I couldn't help but be excited. I am sure many have perhaps impossible to satisfy expectations on this game, but after seeing the tiny trailers I mean how can you not??!?! Based on the people working on this title (KH , Advent Children, etc), I can only imagine a KH type battle system with lots of style (perhaps several QTE's that would make battles look somewhat like AC). 

Please feel free to discuss and throw out expectations, opinions,etc. 

Oh and yea, here are 2 videos I liked, although 1 is mirrored the music is what caught my attention the most since it is truly epic music for a trailer, while the second video I think just has "OMGWTF PWNAGE!!!" written all over it.

trailers are a funny thing.  I hate trailers, and commercials that only show trailers.  Have no idea if the game will eb any good, or even what its like.  I don't know how many trailers i have seen in all pure CG that at best I coudl tell what genre it fit into.  THen have no idea if game any good, any trailer and cg can make a game look amazing.

 

Hell go watch all teh trailers for Dragon Age and then play the game.  They aren'teven IN THE GAME.  not sayign dragon age is bad, its a great game, but if i was a little kid buying a game cause of trailer i woudl be like wtf man, what is this shit.  And based on all the bad press i have been hearing and bitchig of peopel who got ff13 i would not be so excited over some trailers.  especially when its a game like these that are INSANE graphics.  Its a fact, you can't have everything.  everything will involve trade-offs.  TO have amazing graphcis, will mean sacrifising something else.  They don't have unlimited time to do everything.

 

Just look at recent ff13, how many areas where supposedly cut out.  Now dont' go sprouting shit about 360 being reason. t hat is just ignorance.  It's because they NEEEDED this game out, coudlnt' delay it more, it's beeen too long, stock holders are getting antsy so they had to release and due to time they coudlnt' finish all the areas compeltely and have them work into storyand all that because of as i said graphics.  Trade off's, because of the insane graphcis, stuff takes longer, implementing each thing takes more time and then connecting htem all to be fluid they just didn't have time, so they had to cut out things that weren't totally relevant to the story.  Probably main reason so much bitchig abotu how linear the game is, it orriginally was not meant to be so, but due to time and needed game out they had to cut stuff.  which included more of hte sidequests, random areas, and so on tha tweren't completely relevant to story.
