Versus XIII gameplay screens destructible enviornments.

Re: Versus XIII gameplay screens destructible enviornments.

Why are people making comparisons to Fallout? Open ended environments? No trnsition for fights? Destructable elements in environments?

Sounds a lot like Kingdom Hearts to me. Oh hey, wouldn't you know it... The same people who did KH:2 are making the game! Fancy that...

I actually liked 13 a lot more than I thought I would...


Though, HD Remake of 6 & 7 would be epic.

More like a epic waste of money. You still do not seem to understand the problem with putting FFVII in HD. Versus XIII, being "open world" is going to have a shit-ton of cut-and-paste because that's what happens with such games.

Just look how much it happened in FFXI, FFXII and how much it will happen in FFXIV. FFVI had a bit of the ol' cut-and-paste but would that look good on it in 3D and HD based on what we know of FFVI? Maybe, maybe not. SE didn't stray too far from the original with FFIII and FFIVs remakes in terms of perspective, so I don't see FFVI being a different case. if they're just going to present it a similar way, then what's the benefit of it being HD?

And they're going to want to reproduce what FFVII, FFVIII or FFIX would look like. Pre-render allowed a more diverse look to cities, something that wasn't possible in the older games. 3D games that eschewed pre-rendering, at least in Final Fantasy's case, did a fairly good job of masking cut-and-paste, especially FFXII.

Reverting to pre-renders for FFVII would be backward as hell, too, especially in like of the assets they reproduced for Crisis Core in 3D.

You probably think they could take what was done on Advent Children and slap it on PS3 as a game. Sorry, PS3 ain't on that level.

At this point, I'd wager 3DS for a FFVII remake. Its slightly above a PS2 and Gamecube in terms of power, which means SE could use assets they created for something like Crisis Core. This would not only look good, but be in 3D and be much cheaper than producing the game in HD.

Y'know, I actually LIKED FFX and FFXII...

Just throwing that out there.

Also, it would print money.

Re: Versus XIII gameplay screens destructible enviornments.

Really, I think Final Fantasy's problem is people NEEDING to get the fuck over FFVII. Its 2010, people are still living back in 1998. Time moves on. If you keep expecting every game to be like your favorite game in a series, you're going to be nothing more than a miserable sack of shit all the time.

I'm not exactly happy with Nintendo remaking Zelda:Ocarina of Time. I like the game, but you seriously can't hold a conversation about whatever Zelda you play without some asshat talking about OOT being the "best evar!1!11!" They're as fucking dumb as FFVII fanboys and they do not deserve any attention.

Oh well, they're having heart attacks about Skyward Sword being cel-shaded, so at least I get the see them squirm and suffer somehow. "Grown-up" LInk cel-shaded is apparently high blasphemy in fanboy circles. They're assembling the torches and pitchforks right now.

Super Metroid is my favorite game ever, but damn I'd be a sad sack if I let that get in the way of playing Metroid Prime or Metroid Other M. Some people do. Some people are still offended some Americans made a Metroid game and apparently only Japanese people can do that. Their fucking loss, because they missed out a triumphant moment for the series.

Re: Versus XIII gameplay screens destructible enviornments.

I just dont get SE on this one, it makes not sense -.-

at least with the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, they all took place within the same world. but this new one.... Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy XIII makes n sense. None of the three games have anything to do with each other, completely different settings and characters, hell they could have called them FFXIII, FFXV, and FFXVI

They only thing they have in common is "a common mythos". I just don't see why they are giving them all the same number, it seems lazy to me *shrugs*

Re: Versus XIII gameplay screens destructible enviornments.

And you know that because all of the 3 games have been released.

Re: Versus XIII gameplay screens destructible enviornments.

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"

...uh yea...that's exactly what they're doing. In fact they specifically said that's what they would be doing when they started this whole FFXIII project. It's kind of the point of the whole thing to have a wide variety of stories and games that have some, as of yet unknown, connection to each other.

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

...dude what? Every FF game played completely different from others, it's just that nowadays outdated concepts like overworld maps and random battles are getting a bit...old. Also, X seemed to be one of the most popular FFs in years, XI was an awesome triumph for SE in their first major attempt at an MMO and XII and XIII were...well, XII and XIII. I can't really say much about them because I haven't really liked any RPG for a long time. But doing things that are "new and different" has been what Final Fantasy is all about.

Sounds a lot like Kingdom Hearts to me. Oh hey, wouldn't you know it... The same people who did KH:2 are making the game! Fancy that...

A Kingdom Hearts-esque game without kids with goofy(no punintended) proportions and annoying Disney characters? ...I may be interested.

Why don't you, oh, I dunno, maybe just possibly wait until we actually know more about the freaking game before you start to condemn it. Call me crazy, but it's just a thought.

Having Kailea on ignore makes this forum a lot more tolerable. Just sayin'.

because SE already stated that this would be the common link between then three, and not much else.

I am going by what SE has already said, not my own assumptions.

oh and I know you cant hear me Ufgt, but bite my ass -.-

Re: Versus XIII gameplay screens destructible enviornments.

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

When did this happen?

On a related note: people need to unbunch their panties. Low resolution scans from a magazine represent a finished product all of a sudden?

Re: Versus XIII gameplay screens destructible enviornments.

ok so I might have jumped the gun a bit, but jst from what we have seen so far, it does not say "final fantasy" to me *shrugs*

I am all for trying out new things, but the past few FF games (not counting FFXI) have been a bit "meh"

I guess I just want to see a more classic FF game made, but with modern graphics and stuff.

Like if they where to take FFIV or FFVI and make it for PS3 lol ;p

Re: Versus XIII gameplay screens destructible enviornments.

Kaliea - Final Fantasy is about reinvention, its SE's experimental franchise and for the most part those experients work. Even with a certain amount of criticism levied against FFXIII, its been a success in terms of sales.

Dragon Quest is the series SE takes no tremendous risks with, they might change or add a little new aspect to the experience, but its still mostly traditional. Dragon Quest IX will have multiplayer elements, but be a full single-player game. It will have a compelte main quest, but free downloadable quests each week as well. These are changes that have been well-received.

If you want tradition, there are franchises for that, Final Fantasy hasn't really ever been one of them.

Re: Versus XIII gameplay screens destructible enviornments.

As linear as FFXIII was, I did enjoy what the game was all about. I liked the story, I liked the combat system (kept you on your toes it did), and the endgame fights kept my attention on them instead of just going into auto attack mode all the time.

As for XIII Versus, eh I'll try it just cuz its an FF game. Call me a fanboy but I'll give them all chance before writing them off, as I'm sure the majority of you will too. Will you admit to it tho?? I doubt it.
