This is my official apology for the "FFXIII? =[" thread.
I will admit I was wrong by posting such a ludacris topic.

Sorry FFS.

huh?

what?

fine, whatever

*No clue*
Apology accepted.
Don't let it happen again:-D

huh?

what?

fine, whatever

My oh my!

I hope FFXIII is as awesome as FFVI! ^^

We don't even know if the girl will be the main character yet so I wish people would stop comparing it to FFVI. :\

I don't think Yui was making reference to the main character.

I heard that the girl was going to be the main character. But then again, Tifa wasn't in the original script for FFVII, so it might be changed.

i'm not sure, but i think it's been confirmed that the girl is not going to be the main charater, which is weird because then why is she in the videos?

Really, I have this magazine with some screens of the game and it says that she's the main character...

I'm not doubting that you're wrong, but it's kinda funny while you think about it.

ive read in countless places that she is one of many many characters, i think there might be like two stories that are intertwined so during the game there are 2 stories being played and eventually the two stories fully connect

Sounds like FFVIII.

Sounds like FFVIII.

Agreed

That really is not a bad thing. Just as long as there is no Junctions. Heh.

;640789']That really is not a bad thing. Just as long as there is no Junctions. Heh.
haha

but i hope there would be a love story in FFXIII that is romantic as FFVIII's love stories.

FF8 is wonderful. i <3 it. it was my first FF (although X is my fav. 8 comes at a close second, though.)

the girl may be the playable character, but she doesn't have to be the main character. here's what i mean: in FFX, you play as tidus, but the story really revolves around yuna. in 8, you paly as squall, but it's really about rinoa. and in 12, you play as vaan, but it seems as if it's really about ashe (haven't played it yet, but that's the vibe i get from it).

in 8, you paly as squall, but it's really about rinoa.
FFVIII is not really about Rinoa. It's about Squall and his fellow SeeDs fighting the sorceress. Rinoa is just one of the important people that Squall encounter(and fight with) in the game.

well, i guess, but like, you spend the majority of the game trying to save rinoa from being a sorceress (i think it's like 2nd disk-3rd disk -ish).

Keep in mind, that FFXIII is going to have it's own series. And there is going to be more than just 1 game based around it.
So who knows?

yeah but the series are not based around any of the other FFXIII games, the games are not related in any way, Story or Character wise, so thats not relevent to it being a love story or who the main character of XIII is at all

You are partially correct. While all the games will feature different characters with different worlds, they will hold a connection. Because SE is naming the FFXIII series the "Crystalis" project (or something along those lines.) So who is not to say that a female could play a part of just one of these games (FFXIII).

We'll all see to that when FFXIII gets released! :)

I saw a screenshot of this guy with blue hair with these swords revolving around him. I was like, "Holy shit, that looks freakin' awesome!"

if that girl is really the main character, why not

i don't care about that, as long as the game awesome

I heard that the girl was going to be the main character. But then again, Tifa wasn't in the original script for FFVII, so it might be changed. She wasn't then what would have happened to Cloud then that seems pretty weird I mean Tifa seemed to be kind of important

Great.

Might as well let this one turn into another shitty, unwanted FFVII discussion.

relax holy shiznach man cheer up emo kid just kidding relax no offence was meant to anyone

Originally Bespoken by OPM:


13 things you should know about FFXIII on the PS3.


1- Of the many teams within Square-Enix, which one was tasked with creating the first next-gen Final Fantasy? Why, the same folks who made the previous '' new Final Fantasy title for the next generation of Playstation''! Namely, the team behind Final Fantasy X for the PS2.

2- Producer Yoshinori Kitase outlines FFXIII's basic concept as the ''formal evolution of Final Fantasy. In FFX, we tried to conclude and wrap up the traditionnal RPG. In this game, we'd like to show the next form of RPGs. To be more specific, in the traditional RPG, the game flow is pretty the same: You go into a town, talk to people, go out of town, and enter battles. We want to start looking at that flow and revolutionize it in a way that it may surprise people to learn that this is a Final Fantasy game. I'm thinking it will be an extraordinary new form in RPGs.''

3- Director Motomu Toriyama on his experience in creating FFX and applying that experiences to FFXIII: ''We learned how to exceed and evolve the portrayal of the dramatic essence by showing the small changes in expression and emotions from what we did on FFX. I would be lying if I said we would be able to go back to the PS2 after creating the FFVII technical demo for the PS3''.

4- To that end, here's what we heard about the combat system: it's still good ol' Active-Time Battle ''Bar'' (ATB), except it's been tweaked to be even more faster and a bit more ''actiony'' (as indicated by the trailer). The development team also cryptically mentioned the use of an ''added time axis,'' which could mean anything from timing button presses that pull off special attacks to abilities that alter time within battle.

5- Another big factor in the combat system is the use of the vertical axis. Notice that gray thing on the heroine's finger? That controls gravity. You (or she) snaps it on and off effortlessly. Combine her ability to control gravity with her acrobatics, and you can see how vertical position in combat is now more important than the previous FF titles.

6- Weapon desing is being handled by Tetsu Tsukamoto, who worked on the costumew design fo FFX-2. His experience in creating multiple costume changes for the FFX-2 girls probably helped in desinging a gun that transforms into a sword.

7- Kitase on the game engine: ''A team of experts was formed to develop a special engine with a vast array of elements capable of handling cinematics, advanced audio processing, graphics-engine physics calculation, and special effects rendering. This impressive development platform is called the White Engine.

8- Toriyama on the female character that was shown in the trailer: ''I wouldn't say that she's the main character. It just happens to be that she was the character that we chose to feature in the trailer. However, it is true that we wanted to have a strong, independent woman as one of the main characters in the game. To accomplish this, we asked character designer Tetsuya Nomura to design a strong, and independent character, both mentally and physically. She was the end result.''
Noruma interjects, ''The order I got from Toriyama was to create a muscular and athetic gril. I had a lot of trouble trying to create her.''

9- Toriyama on the setting of FFXIII: ''The world of FFXIII depicts a level of civilization more advanced than ever seen before in the Final Fantasy series. This futuristic world exists in a time when technology and magic have combined and developed into new form. We decided to go for a more futuristic, sci-fi look because we thought that it would fit the new worldbeing portrayed on the Plastation 3 and serve as a indicator as to what the futur of gaming might be.''

10- Coproducer Shinji Hashimoto on the overall nature of Fabula Nova Crystallis projet and its effect on FFXIII: ''Consider that development platforms but featuring different worlds and stories that are bound by a common mythology, these independent FFXIII evolve uniquely. The Fabula Nova Crystallis projet is not a collection of sequels or ports but several original titles that exist alongside each other.

11- Why put sush a big emphasis on a freakin' crystal? Kitase answers, ''Because the crystal is the symbol of the [i]FF/I] series. The compilation of FFVII games has the central theme of the original FFVII, but this project is starting from zero. So that's why we though it would be good to create a centerpiece for this project and freely evolve from there.''

12- Chocobos , moogles , and traditional spell names will still be present.

13- FFXIII online? Kitase mentions, ''It's still to be determined; if anything, it will be an extra feature but it won't be one of the main features.''

yay chocobos and moogle!
its look like the shes aint the main character :o i hope this is not true

in all honesty I really don't care if she is or isn't (it would be cool to see that though a nice change of pace don't you agree) as long as the storyline is magnificant it doesn't matter who the main character is

When the word "emo" is directed towards me, I take great offense.
So expect it.

well sorry i guess it was a bad joke sorry man
we still cool? I already have one enemy so far I don't need another
