Re: Final Fantasy XIII

Lol! I haven't camped out for anything since Phantom Menace. Although, I suppose hopping from store to store on Tau's release day was camping...

I hope they have porta-potties for you guys though. d:

I camped out in shinjuku once ^^, but we got bored and went back to the hostel..
When it comes to overnight campin,,JP win.. there will be like 50-150+ people in line for something silly like Mosquito San. >.>

Get a matress next time. Those things help while bum rushing.

The stores that carry consoles where I live, don't let you pre-order. I hate living in Pennsylvania. Everything here sucks. >_<

thats Why I left this place .. ^^
I miss the buildings.. but not everything else.. I want the "city" feeling.. just not the city.



EDIT: and these

There ya go.

I spent 7 hours waiting for my 360. Good thing I got a camping chair, and there was a taco bell near by.

Me.....so......horny.......
If getting ps3 asap wasn't a priority before seeing that trailer, it definately is now.
WOW. O.O

Re: Final Fantasy XIII

Things to note... and because im bored

She wields guns, and she's stupidly nimble and agile, either shes hanging on something, or knows how to fly x)

She wields a special gun that is also a neat gimmick, turns into a small ultra-light-looking sharp sword.

Is that a force field, or some buff-type spell she cast when she first appears? Notice a blue aura surrounding her when she leaps and kicks people in teh face.

Physics! She back-flip-kicks a "soldier" and he gets thrown against a screen, you see him taking a numeric damage point (if that's what it is, its kinda obvious) upon hitting this screen, neat isnt it?

She uses magic and/or maybe explosives/gadgets: Surrounded by enemies, she uses some sort of spell to freeze time and space in a small area, you see the enemies come to a stop mid-air, as she leaps forward landing a slash on one of the "soldiers", turns back and sends a flaming projectile that explodes and blasts the frozen mobs to next friday, notice that the spell/bomb hits multiple enemies, and this activates a "chain" of sorts. Also to note, physics again. The explosion knocks back enemies and sends them flying around.

No party members, yet. Speculating a single-character game, hopefully itl still be possible to customize your style of play like on all previous installments.

She kinda reminds me of Leeloo (Milla Jovovich).

Yeah, they are dishing them out faster. What do you expect when there is a fan base that is actually consuming it faster then they can produce still.

Re: Final Fantasy XIII

Didn't they announce ffx-2, ffxi and ffxii one year? It's not out of the ordinary now.

Yeah I remember reading about it on 2ch first then seeing it on RPGfan.

Re: Final Fantasy XIII for ps3

Final Fantasy - Bringing you the finest androgynoids since 1987! Gotta love all the sex confusion the androgynous faces produce.

I feel odd now. Seems like I'm the only person not impressed by or excited about this game. If FFXII is Star Wars, FFXIII is the Matrix. I like Star Wars but have never liked the the Matrix. I dislike the whole defying physics gimmick that it and Advent Children have. So many things in that trailer felt wrong to me. I just can't make myself list them and bring too much negativity into this thread.

What I do like is what this new game means for the progression of the series. After the fanboy backlash to the FFXII demo I predicted that XIII would be a very traditional game to appease the fan base. But it looks like Square really is making good on their promise to leave tradition behind and deliver a new and different experience with each installment. Very good for me. I was absolutely sick of the old style and felt that FFX wasn't different enough from ye olde FF. Maybe I won't like FFXIII, but in 6 years or so I expect I'll have a FFXIV to look forward to where after FFX I had nearly abandoned the series.

She uses magic and/or maybe explosives/gadgets: Surrounded by enemies, she uses some sort of spell to freeze time and space in a small area, you see the enemies come to a stop mid-air, as she leaps forward landing a slash on one of the "soldiers", turns back and sends a flaming projectile that explodes and blasts the frozen mobs to next friday, notice that the spell/bomb hits multiple enemies, and this activates a "chain" of sorts.

That's pretty much how I imagined the "Quick" spell in previous games. The one that gives you two free turns. And the AE version of Fire.

So shiny...

Re: Square Enix's PlayStation 3 RPG Final Fantasy XIII

It's now my only incentive to buy a PS3; unfortunately, FFXIII is not worth $660+ to me. Then again, it probably won't be out for a good two years, so maybe I'll find a generous PS3 friend.
