Last FFXIII trailer = Greatest new Final Fantasy!!!

Re: Last FFXIII trailer = Greatest new Final Fantasy!!!

So in your ideal world all gamers would be fat, lazy slobs who can barely move but have really strong thumbs?

Um, you are completely off track. Many gamers are not overweight to begin with, and they don't own a Wii.
The majority of overweight people don't even play games.
the industry doesn't need something like the Wii to "save" gamers from obesity.

I simply stated my opinions about the Wii. Although I don't like how it does things, it still is something for people who
prefer that type of console. I'm just glad the other consoles are not like that although they are starting to with all that
motion nonsense. Though I don't think they will shove it down people's throats like Nintendo is doing for most of its Wii games.

That's all. If people want to continue this argument, I'm not the one continuing it. I simply reply back and that's it.
If people want it to stop, don't say anything about it anymore, or you are just feeding wood to the fire.

Half of those people are not true gamers, just people looking to lose weight,

Many gamers are not overweight to begin with, and they don't own a Wii.

WTF? Are you contradicting yourself?

This thread is starting to derail hard. Prepare for lock.

Btw I'm not "Continuing the argument." I just wanted to point that out.

Re: Last FFXIII trailer = Greatest new Final Fantasy!!!

you are still off topic too. I just said my opinion, then people contested my opinion and started an argument.

Anyways, Final Fantasy XIII will definitely be the best Final Fantasy and game to date until Final Fantasy XIV is ready.

Re: Last FFXIII trailer = Greatest new Final Fantasy!!!

What about FFXV, where will that fall?

There won't be one, J9 confirmed it with this topic. srsly this is my last off topic post.

I can't wait for FFXIII and FFXIV though, saying I haven't played a offline Final Fantasy game since FFX.

Re: Last FFXIII trailer = Greatest new Final Fantasy!!!

I don't need you to tell me to stop.

Yeah, you know you need to quit all by yourself.

Why are you reading this thread anyway? :p

Completely unsubstantiated fan-gasming over as-yet-unreleased or untested games, or completely unsubstantiated bashing of any system or game you don't personally play...

... I think a better question to ask is why you're still allowed to make threads.

I think it's a tad unfair to detract from his talent just because you don't like every single game he's responsible for. I mean do you like every song from Queen or the Beatles? I sure don't.

Sure he may not be THE ULTIMATE because that's pretty goddamned subjective but just about everything he touches turns to gold. Then again, he wanted Kirby to be yellow.

I can't see how any Zelda fan could dislike Wind Waker unless they got pissed off at the fetch quest at the end though.

oh I played the games I did not like and beat them, and liked them to a point after doing so... but yes the fetch quest at the end of WW was what pissed me off lol!

it doesn't have to be timing sensitive to be important. what about those seesaw things? a controller shouldn't force us to
apply greater physical application to do something so simple like moving those seesaws. No wonder someone I know doesn't play Wii for long, that controller is too much of a work out. It's really a conspiracy that Nintendo wants players to play games for less amounts of time by tiring their arms out.

I mean people already get a serious workout out of fighting games, now imagine playing Street Fighter 4 with a Wiimote, everyone at shoryuken.com would give Capcom the finger if SF4 at arcades only had a controller like Wiimote.

Your kidding? you have to be.... .. " greater physical application" you tilt the Wiimote left or right... that is not physical at all. Street Fighter IV, well since thats is not on Wii we wont know, but go play Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3, that game makes you work your butt off, and when I stopped playing after 3 hours or so, I felt it, and the thing is, there is nothing wrong with that.

Unlike you, I'm not looking down on members of this board and flamebaiting to get them to say something that will get them banned. :p I was talking about a game and you people attack me directly.


NOTHING you've said has contributed anything positive to this thread, making your comments about me seem
like you are the one who shouldn't be allowed to post here, since you are so eager to make people upset any chance you can. >_>

Re: Last FFXIII trailer = Greatest new Final Fantasy!!!

Fact: Make it easy enough and more people will do it. Fact.

And TGM though I picked things apart.

Motion control made something that was abstract to outsiders not abstract at all. That's not making it easy, its just making it less obtuse. You were raised to understand the abstract elements of controller, mouse and keyboard to apply them to gaming. The light gun was always something people could grasp - point and shoot. Now you can swing a virtual tennis racket, golf club and take these real things and apply them in the context of motion.

People not into gaming can understand motion. They might not understand HP, MP, STR, VIT, audio cues or Z-Targeting, but motion is not as difficult to grasp. They can just jump right in.

"Accessible" is the word you're looking for, not "easy."

Okay well anyway, I found this neat link to FFXIII information!

Unofficial Final Fantasy Site - News: Back of FF13 Box Leaked, No Install & Lossless Audio for PS3 Version

famitsu scans:

Final Fantasy XIII – 29 Japanese magazine pages | RPG Land: RPG reviews, wallpapers, news and more since 1999.

and someone posted this article about customization:

"Final Fantasy XIII's Crystarium system looks like it will offer hours and hours of customization. It's not alone, though. In addition to customizing your characters through the Crystarium system, you'll also be able to customize your weapons using a separate system.

Weekly Shonen Jump offered first details on the weapon customization system a couple of weeks back. Famitsu has returned with the specifics.

FFXIII's weapon customization system is know by just the Japanese word for "reform" (all out of wacky system names, Japan?). This system allows you to power up your weapons and accessories by feeding them special materials that you collect during the game.

The magazine states that once you've advanced far enough in the story, you'll be able to visit particular places in order to conduct the weapon and accessory modifications. This seems to imply that you won't have access to the reform system at all times, although the modification screens shown in the magazine do look like they're part of the main menu.

To use the system, you first select the weapon or accessory that you want to upgrade. You're then presented with a list of materials that you can feed to the item. You can select the material that you want to give, and its quantity.

Adding materials to a weapon can have different effects depending on the material in question. Some materials will increase the weapon's experience value, leading to level-ups and eventual form changes (detailed below). As an example, making use of a Liquid Crystal Lens item gives Lightning's Blaze Edge sword 100 experience points. The management screen lists how much experience you need to make the sword rise to the next level. If you need 300 experience points, and you happen to have three Liquid Crystal Lens items, an easy way to to get a quick level up is to hand over the three items.

Other materials have special effects. Famitsu mentions one example, a material that makes it so that the next material that's added to the weapon has a 1.25 multiplier for its awarded experience. Use this material first, and the next Liquid Crystal Lens item would give you 125 experience points rather than 100. Some items have the reverse effect, reducing the experience of subsequent items.

Leveling up a weapon increases its capabilities and also gives it special abilities. Progress through enough level-ups, and the weapon will eventually reach its limit. Its level status will display a star. This indicates that you can make the weapon change form. To actually make the weapon change form, you have to first obtain a special material for it.

There may be a good reason why the transformations aren't automatic. When you transform a weapon, it actually ends up being weaker than its fully maxed out predecessor. Of course, by building up the new weapon with materials, you'll eventually result in an even more powerful weapon.

Jump detailed a couple of weapon transformations in its previous article. Transforming a weapon gives it a new physical appearance. Lightning's default Blaze Edge changes into Slash Carbon. Like Blaze Edge, Slash Carbon is a combination gun and sword.

Vanille's initial weapon is the horribly painful-looking Bind Rod. Its head piece looks like a pair of antlers. Its body consists of four long wires with hooks that deal damage to enemies by latching on and pulling (eek!). Transform Vanille's weapon, and the head piece will change to something that looks like feathers rather than antlers. The body is still wires and hooks, though.

Snow uses his bare hands to fight, but his weapon is actually his coat. When running about outside of battle, the coat displays no unique logos. But get into battle, and patterns appear on its back and sleeves. The initial pattern is "Wild Bear." It shows the face of a bear on the back and sleeves. Upgrade the coat, and the patterns change. Famitsu provides a look at one additional pattern which, compared to the Wild Bear coat, looks like it could have increased magic power.

The common theme in all of the above is that while the weapons transform, they don't completely change to a different class of weapons. Your characters are stuck using their default weapon class. The game has a total of six party members: Lightning, Sazh, Snow, Hope, Vanille, and Fang. Their weapon types are, respectively, transformable sword, gun, coat, boomerang, rod, and lance.

There are a number of ways to obtain the special materials required to use the weapon upgrade system. You'll find over 100 material types in all. Some can be found in treasure boxes, some are earned by winning a battle, some can be purchased in shops. The magazine speculates that you can also earn special materials as rewards for clearing missions. It's also likely that you'll be able to use a steal move in battle to steal materials from your foes.

You can also get materials by selecting to destroy one of your current weapons or accessories. You lose the weapon, but you get materials in return, some of which may be rare.

With the weapon reform system, FFXIII looks like it will be changing some of the paradigms we've come to expect from Japanese RPGs. The idea of buying a weapon in a shop seems to be de-emphasized. Director Motomu Toriyama, in a short interview with the magazine, notes that, although you can buy weapons in a shop, they start off at base level -- not in a particularly strong form.

In FFXIII, explained Toriyama, it's possible to fight the last boss with the very first weapon that you obtained in the game. This assumes, of course, that you've kept on building it up throughout the adventure. Your characters are capable of keeping multiple weapons in their possession, so there will be room for experimentation.

With all the customization options offered by the Crystarium system and now the weapon reform system, FFXIII looks positioned to cause a boom in the strategy guide business. At the very least, that FFXIII Ultimania Guide should end up being thicker than a phone book."

Either that or we'll be seeing a influx of guides on gamefaqs or a ffxiiiclopedia.com
