I guess the new video is at TGS.

The game's cloud effects use real physics calculations
* The world is an open field, and you can go everywhere except for the mountains
* The battles are seamless
* The game's encounter system is both random and symbol-based (meaning you can see enemies in advance). Hmm... what could this mean?
* The game's world is mostly seamless, although there are some load points when you switch between the massive areas.
* You can destroy objects that you find on the road.
* The quality of the combat scenes is so high that people will not be able to believe it when they first see it.
* The staff is excited about making the game.

Nomura also confirms that the screens in the magazine are all realtime, captured off the PlayStation 3

the hell? is it a fallout wan-a-be or what? -.-

Sorry but that is not Final Fantasy

its like SE said "ok lets make 3 FFXIII games all looking and playing different, and see what people bite on, then go from there"

Lmao That second picture did remind me of Fallout.

Re: Versus XIII gameplay screens destructible enviornments.

it can't be related to fallout because there is a main city that is highly advanced and very modern in a clean way.

You suddenly think it's like that game just because there will be world areas like canyons and stuff away from cities and civilization?

Have you ever been to gas stations in the middle of nowhere? They look kind of like that and no nukes have dropped in the country.

MEW MEW MEW!!!!! GRESTEST FF GAME EVRRRR!!!!!!!!

No.

Not after what happen with FFXIII. I'm gonna start keeping an eye on SE, that last one left a bad taste in my mouth.

Re: Versus XIII gameplay screens destructible enviornments.

ya true, FFXIII really should of learned a thing or two from Advent Children and Crisis Core as far as rivalry cinematics and other story elements are concerned. I think they nerfed Lightning's role and story background on purpose.

that has nothing to do with it... the game play was horrible........

and I am not saying it will be like fallout, I was talking about the looks.

ever since SE started screwing around (starting with FFX) the FF games have got worse and worse, and FFXIII was bad -.- and it does not help that they keep making these games using the same worlds like they have been doing with XII and XIII

at least they can still get things right with FFXI and FFXIV

Re: Versus XIII gameplay screens destructible enviornments.

that's like saying XI and XIV are the same worlds. :p

XIII, VXIII and Agito XIII only share a similiar myth. They are not direct sequels/prequels like the FFXII RW or FFX-2.

Don't you remember? J9 didn't play FFXIII, she watched the videos on YouTube. lol

Re: Versus XIII gameplay screens destructible enviornments.

nuuuuu I did honestly buy and play FFXIII despite my miffed impressions from the import streams.

It really wasn't as epic as it should have been, but Barthandelus made up for it, a little. :p

Re: Versus XIII gameplay screens destructible enviornments.

i agree that ffxiii was bad and that the series went in the wrong direction since ffx.
13 was so bad it was the second ff game i havent got trough. (first was ffx-2, i throw it away...)

i miss:
- world map
- secret characters
- good story
- random battles and ate

but i like how ffxiii versus looks, and if the wolrd map is back + random battles, it will be even better.

Kailea, you're making yourself look like a spaz, which means you're making J9 look stable like Dak did the other day.

Also, Xenoblade was the top selling game in Japan lasts week and it was an open world similar to this and Final Fantasy XII. Helps a great deal that games like Monster Hunter help push the idea further that you can have multiple regions in a game were they are not traveled by crossing a silly, outdated overworld maps.

And personally, right now, I'm going to give an RPG overseen by Nomura a lot more weight than I am one overseen by Kitase, who's just tremendously out-of-touch now. Dude practically needs Nomura to keep his ideas from getting too out there, and from what I've seen, Nomura is the rising star in SE now. He has the potential to be as good as Sakaguchi was.

I am wary that the story will get a little heavy-handed. I mean, using Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is about as contrived as it gets, especially with the mafia tone to it, but if he's going to make something that's closer to a traditional RPG - even if that's more in a western sense of action - I'm all for it because I'm tired of these next-generation RPGs trying so damn hard to distance themselves from the prior generation of RPGs due to the limitations HD has thrust upon them.

So this game has some place that looks like Nevada or Southern California, so what? That doesn't mean its a Fall out clone or anything. They don't have exclusive rights to that sort of setting.

I said nothing about it being a Fallout clone, I said it "looked" like Fallout, I meant in looks only, and not even graphics wise, I am just talking about setting. When I see those screen shots I see fallout not an final fantasy game.

To be honest though, if it does have all the things is says, and the battle system is not complete trash like FFXIII was, then it will be ok.

Somebody hasn't seen New Vegas...

Yeab but you spazzed in the same breath you said it looked like Fallout and I can only see a passing resemblence in one screen. If you had been paying attention to the news regarding the game, though, you'd know we are going to see some of the generic "fire" and "ice" themed regions that are a dime-a-dozen in fantasy RPGs.

To be honest though, if it does have all the things is says, and the battle system is not complete trash like FFXIII was, then it will be ok.

Its a different team, so why would you expect the same exact kind of game if they had nothing to do with FFXIII? They don't collectively work on one game at a time.
