Hey. Twilight Princess was an alright game, and an improvement over the bore that was OoT.

The funny thing is that almost no one is hyped up for FFvsXIII, mainly because it's exclusive. All the hype is toward the multiplatform game, which is a shame. I personally feel strongly that Versus will be better a tad bit more than FFXIII... just saying.

While Versus XIII's scenario looks awesome, I'm not too excited right now for the gameplay. It looks like more of Nomura's Kingdom Hearts with some Crisis Core button-mashing gameplay, while Final Fantasy XIII is the complete package.

I hope so too, but all points to something that isn't as such. The system seems like Square is taking the best of their gameplay from the FF series and putting it all together into one game. I don't see how they could've go horribly wrong with that, even if it's flawed in the end. Very few FF games from the central series dare to be different when it comes to the actual RPG gameplay.

With Versus I have no doubt it'll be a refined version of the KH battle system, which I always thought it had potential even though it didn't work too well in the series itself at times. With Agito they seem to be building up from Crisis Core's system and working through that.

Generally what we can expect is to see better versions of iffy Square games with a huge budget at each one's creation too (and not to mention it's taking forever). It could either ending up just being generally good or amazing.

Haha I'm so excited! Thank God your good at finding this stuff!

This game is the reason I'm not sure whether to get a PS3 or 360. Prior to the E3 announcement life was so simple. Oh well I suppose I have a while to see how things pan out before I have to make a decision. Over here we'll probably see the game 20onever

Import it!
That's what I plan on doing.

OH MY ****ING GOD
OH MM ****ING G!!!

The Japanese Fabula Nova Crystallis site is up!!

Oh my GOD OH MY GOD!! There is tons of new stuff, including music tracks!! Oh my god! **** just got real!

The music is amazing! So much for Final Fantasy XIII doubters about the soundtrack!

Everything but Final Fantasy XIII is pretty much just teaser pages. But Final Fantasy XIII's site is godly.

Also, first thing noticed on GAF: There's definitely room for more than three games.

High res character artwork can be found here.

Nice. The music sounds great. With this, the game's release is no longer in the unforseeable future, but is coming with a vengeance.

Don't get me wrong, I ****ing love it! The thing that turns me off about it is the text. Why can't they have both Japanese AND English text on the website?

Because it's the Japanese site. Why would it be in English?

XIII has some beautiful music, and I really love the color palet used in the game. I'm a bit more excited for the game now.

They had it in both English and Japanese on the home page. Why not the rest?

Because Japan has a weird English fetish and they like to write random phrases or titles in English. The bulk is always Japanese though.

Wow, and I thought furry fetishes were bad.

All that aside, I checked out some more of FFXIII's music. Pure, flawless pwnness.

Is that a motor on Noctis's sword?

lol

Goes great with Vanille skipping. Haha. That's badassery right there.

And Chocobo confirmed! CUTER THAN EVAR!


Edit: New info:

'Sazh Katzroy', and he is a middle aged man. He dual wields pistols, has a baby chocobo, is a gentle hearted person easily moved to tears, possesses good judgment and a sense of social responsibility.

Edit 2: A few more details:

He will be a starting party member and will be with you early on in the game. He's middle-aged, dual-wields pistols. Sazh has a baby chocobo that nests in his afro... he's a good person, easily moved to tears and has good judgment and a sense of social responsibility.

Added to OP.

Hm. So he's with the party from the beginning. I want this game SOO BADLY.

CHOCOBOS! It looks like a cute, realistic little chicken! And the afro guy looks like a total bad-ass I'm in love with that guy already!

lmao that it stays in his fro. His head reminds me a lot of football player Donovan McNabb of the Eagles, lol, he does look real cool and interesting though. Can't wait to see the others.
