HOAX OR TRUTH? ONLY TIME WILL TELL. GET YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT CAPS READY GENTLEMEN.

>>83000000

just checking the GET

XIII-2 is probably going to get announced.

ON JANUARY 18 2011 WE FINALLY GET TO HEAR NOCTIS' VOICE. OH JOY. ONLY SE WOULD THINK THIS TO BE NEWSWORTHY. DON'T GET TOO EXCITED GUYS, IT'LL PROBABLY BE NOCTIS SAYING "YOU'VE BEEN TROLLED, FAGGOTS."

not looking forward to another FF game ever since Final fantasy 13.. that shit realy pissed me off.

Versus is the last chance for Squeenix to claw back some credibility after the lacklustre XIII and the 4.0 craptastrophe, at least as far as FF is concerned.

I'm not holding my breath.

NOCTIS' FRIENDS WILL BE NAMELESS FOR LIFE.

FOREVER UNKNOWN!

my prediction: Agito gets announced to be moved from PSP to 3DS, no new footage of either game, VS gets 360 port, PS3 version cancelled.

>>83004707
That's the ticket! Keep that disappointment cap on. I feel that we'll be needing it.

FOREVER UNKNOWN!!!

FOREVER UNKNOOOOOOOOWN!!! ;__;

This game is the epitome of homolust.

Not a single female party member. FFS Nomura even said it's about 4 bros their car finding themselves in wacky misadventures.

>>83005245
It'll go multiplat and they'll claim that much of the game had to be cut to facilitate the port, thus saving SE from criticism when, once again, they fail to produce a game which is anything like what was promised.

Or it might be awesome.

xiii-sequel/

>The last part of the episodes has Lightning in a sea like zone surrounded with monsters, no animals, no plants, no life in general, she knows nothing else to do than keep moving forward. Speculations have led to the belief that Goddes Etro was reason Lightning ended up there. This and the recent “She must not be forgotten” statement and illustration adds a little fuel to the FFXIII-2 fire.

>That hadn’t changed. No, not even just the people of Cocoon. But the people who, like Vanille and Fang, might be surviving somewhere on Gran Pulse to this day. She wished to protect the future of all the people living on this world.

>Also revealed in the Episode was the fact that Fang and Vanille are both alive with each one of the main characters speaking of saving them from their Crystal prison. Reading further in, there is a also mention of Gran Pulse being far bigger than “anyone on Cocoon could imagine”, where airships are a big part of people’s lives and where Sazh would be busy working as a pilot.

Less Firaga, more blood.

>>83006564
you have no sauce. and magic is going to be in it.

..why do I get the feeling i'm in a thread full of femanons...

oh well,

THREAD NEEDS MORE STELLA

>>83006471

I'm more psyched about Agito. An overworld map with visible enemies on it, summons, rideable chocobos, character punching giant robots....damn sight more appealing so far than Noctis twirling like a ballerina as he fights a behemoth.

FFXIII-2 for PSP
Versus for 360

derp herp

The school is part of Suzaku.
The enemy that's been invading is Seiryuu.

If animu has taught me anything, Suzaku will be the good guys. Seiryuu are the bad guys. Byakko will be the cool guys, and no one gives a shit about Genbu. NO ONE.

WHY IS EVERY ONE SLITTING OVER CHARACTERS AND NOT JACKING TO BATTLE SYSTEM AND TELEPORTATION!?

>>83006547
I will fight you tooth and nail.
COME AT ME BRO

>>83006710
Check out wikipedia. I know it's not the greatest source of facts, but there's plenty of stuff Nomura is quoted to have said. Straight from the zipper-horses' mouth, as it were.

>>83006861
OH IT IS FUCKING ON!
Honestly I don't think anything that character will do will make me hate him. Ever.

>>83006816
if anything close to this happen I would make it my life's goal to nuke japan again

>>83006828

>If animu has taught me anything, Suzaku will be the good guys

Don't let /a/ hear you say that, pic related.

She behaves too much like Rinoa for my liking. However I will stop disliking her if she gives me reason to do so. Fang and Shiki did, I'm sure she can too.

NO REALLY, YOU.CAN.TELEPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOORT

So, what's going on in 15 days? I don't keep up with Final Fantasy or Square-Enix anymore.

>>83006828

Play The Last Blade for Neo Geo.

>>83007198

>She behaves too much like Rinoa for my liking.

So it's not just me

>>83007221
There will be a conference totally dedicated to the FNC games plus other SE related games.

>>83007221
SE is gathering a horde of slavering otaku for a mass cocksucking party, but you and I are never invited EVER because we aren't the home market and thus are entirely unimportant.

Also, they're going to be showing a bit of gameplay footage, and streaming it to a select few.

>>83007388

Oh, cool. I'm kinda looking forward to VS because it's made by the Kingdom Hearts team. If it's not impressive enough I'm done with Final Fantasy.... XIII mutilated my interest in the series.

>>83007221
http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/12/21/fabula_conf_detailed/

>Square Enix's big January briefing event saw a name change from "Fabula Nova Crystallis Conference" to "1st Production Department Premier" last week. But aside from the name we haven't gotten much in the way of details in terms of what product will be shown.

>The event was originally scheduled for January 11 but was changed to January 18. This change was done due to timing associated with magazines, said Nomura.

>>83007218
FINE GEEZ WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE GAMEPLAY EVEN THOUGH WE HARDLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT YET.


I think using the action part of KH is a good thing, as for teleportation I'm looking forward to it. I'm wondering if MP will come into play in regards to play. You don't want it to be EASY MODO if you teleport without any repercussions.

btw weren't there screens for a FFxiii game being dev-ed for psp?

I'm sure you guys must have seen it

and really, why does no-one care about standing in front of a squad of soldiers being protected by a hail of bullets with a wall of swords?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Bug-0R3inY

This will always be the best trailer to me.

>>83005531

>FFS Nomura even said it's about 4 bros their car finding themselves in wacky misadventures.

Subtract two bros and you have one of the best fucking movies ever made.

>>83007198
She better be some incarnation of the former Aya Brea

What happened to her in Third Birthday is unforgivable.

>>83007659
Perhaps it'll be twice as good and Noctis will park the way Elwood does.

>>83007725

fuck off raltese.

>>83007547

a wiki bit says that you can't teleport freely,but just to where you place or throw a sword, it's all subject to change though.

what I really pissed my pants over was that you get a choice between swords, spears and guns and shit,can't wait to throw a sword and impale somebody to a building wall and pull another one out of my ass and keep going

>>83007725
OH GOD THAT WAS FUCKING TERRIBLE. But yes I do hope Stella turns out to be like the ORIGNAL Aya Brea.

TIME TO MESS YOU UP

I can't wait for Versus to be announced for the Xbox 360.

If it isn't I'll just wait for the PS3's software code to be made readily available, then buy a PS3 and an external hdd

>>83008030

is that all you came into this thread to say?

Who else is expecting this to get ruined when they announce itll be ported to 360?

>>83008010
I wouldn't put it past SE to name them after cards except in different languages. I will rage if that Card faggot is "Ace" or "Jack."

all this time and they still have nothing to show for it

no wonder SE is in such a shit hole, they are all talk. stop announcing shit years before you even begin development

>>83008139
It's inevitable.

Is anyone really interested in a XIII sequel??

>>83008278
yes.

but then again I liked xiii and nobody else does

>>83008238
Versus was announced in 2006 but was apparently in development 4 years before that. So if you add that up, this game has been in the making for 8-9 years. 4-5 years of fucking cockteasing and 4 years of fucking around in the shadows.

>>83008238

>all this time and they still have nothing to show for it

For Versus maybe, Agito has had gameplay footage since fucking forever.

>>83008238
>nothing to show for it
>agito trailer shows the core game is pretty much done
>showed versus battle system and free roam
>conference to show more on the 18th
>you're retarded

>>83008278
Well, it might not be that bad if they give it a decent battle system, and make it so the first half of the game isn't practically an on rails tutorial.

;_;

>>83008139
uh, why would it be ruined if they just port everything over?

FFXIII didn't have to cut anything out because of the 360. They had to cut it out because of deadlines and costs and shit was getting fucking ridiculous because they were teasing it for so long.

>>83008238
They've spent all this time doing all the cinematics. They don't even start with the gameplay until that's all taken care of, nowadays. The repetitive, linear gameplay is only in there to pad out the movies anyway.

>>83008278
Is anyone really interested in a XIII sequel??

YES, SEE >>83004511
>>83005560
>>83005560
>>83005560
>>83005560
>>83005560

>>83008577
>>83008278
I am not but I'm quite sure it's going to be inevitable.

>>83008539
>>83008139
PORTING is fine if they do it after they release the ps3 version.

If they do that, whatever, have fun SE. Just finish the PS3 version and push it out worldwide. Then port whatever you want

>>83008461

yes because 5 seconds of pre-rendering bullshit is enough, they did the same thing with XIII, i'll give you the agito footage though

also, it's true that square is a bunch of cock teases, most development houses will announce their games when they are pretty much completed and ready to release (see Atlus and Catherine, they have been working on that since 2008) and we only heard about it since a few months ago.

it just shows that square is a bunch of overconfident dicks and they paying for it now, after this i seriously doubt people are gonna eat their shit anymore, they should focus on the actual GAMES and not MAKING CHARACTERS LOOK LIKE FAGGOTS

how to make FF13-2 good:

playable Lebreau
able to input commands to every character
remake maps so they aren't fucking lines
towns and shops

shouldn't be too hard

>>83008449
you have to separate the first inceptions of the games and when they go into full production. You're exaggerating the developement time there a little

>>83008847
GLASSES TOUCHDOWN IS NOT A FAGGOT. TAKE THAT BACK.

>>83008539
Because they rushed the PS3 version so they could start working on the 360 version. They've already said they held back about a games worth of content because 'they felt it would mess up the flow of the game' when in reality it was probably because they couldn't fit it all on disks.

And 1 thing which was cut from the PS3 version was the 1080p cutscenes and cinematics, probably because of storage issues on DVD9s

>>83008847
I like all of the characters in Versus. agito characters look good as well. oh oh maybe they could give everyone beards would that make you happy?

>>83009033

nah, i'm just saying i wish square would focus on gameplay more than character designs and cinematics

i honestly dont give a fuck how girly the characters look, i was just mad.

>>83009033
Happier, yes. A bit.

>>83008974
well if they port it over without rushing to work on the 360 version or something similar, I'm glad.

>>83008974
>And 1 thing which was cut from the PS3 version was the 1080p cutscenes and cinematics

whoa, the ps3 version still had this. it's on it's box and your tv might even tell you that as you play it

>>83008875
Lebreau was disappointing as a character. At first I thought I was going to like her but then it turned out she was all "LUL HERO HERO HERO HERO TALK." Fuck her and Team NORA.

Since they aren't dumbing it down for 360, it will be great.

>>83009188
That seems to be what's hinted at

http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/09/08/nomura_versus_xiii_tweet/

> "Multiplatform is when you start development on a game with the assumption of optimizing for multiple platforms. Porting is something that's done after you've developed a game specifically for a particular platforms. The debate over porting is decided by the management based off the current market and the costs. All I can say right now as a developer is that Versus is being developed specifically for the PlayStation 3."

I'd like to know what Type-Zero is please.

Thanks in advance

>>83009305
The japanese version might be native 1080p, but someone measured the NA version to be just 768p.

>>83006355
Mullet Moe looks more like a brawler.

>>83007304
doesnt this bitch become a villain? I'm pretty sure she is a bad person, or at least she turns into one, ala Kain.
>Female Kain. I think I just came.

>>83009188
it's been treated as aPS3 exclusive so far, though nomura says he's determined to keep it an exclusive, though he thinks that when the game is finished or close to, the share holders and the board of directors will push for a port then, of course, they could just announce "trololo" on the 18th

>>83009564
I was just saying that as a joke. Though I would like it if they broke the mold and not make Mullet Moe the obvious brawler. I'm very sure he's going to be the brawler.

>>83009402

Nomura could've said the same thing about the XIII we got already and it would still be true. I'm calling damage control.

Anyway it goes like this

If on the 18th SE announces a 2011 launch date for Versus and gives no mention of Xbox, Microsoft basically has until E3 to get word out that it will be multi platform.

Otherwise I'd say it's not happening.

>>83009617
I bet she'll be an antagonist for half the game then becomes a party member.

>>83009617
THERE IS NO GOOD OR BAD BUT THINKING IT MAKES IT SO. - WILLAIM SHAKESPEARE


I think Versus will play with that concept. So perhaps what Stella does she thinks she is doing good, while Noctis thinks she is doing bad and vice versa. As long as this guy doesn't turn out to be Noctis' uncle, I will not accuse the story of copying Hamlet.

This game is probably the one im most looking forward to this year, it has the potential to be brilliant, but that could just be because they've told us hardly anything about it. Saying that though, what i've seen looks good.

I like that nomura has mentioned how what we'll see on 1.18 of versus will be before a graphics boost. Makes me think they're worrying about graphics only till they have the core game down

>>83010077
what about if that guy's his father and he's killed immediately after this opening cut scene?

>>83010077
I'm pretty sure that is Noc's dad. He is the king of the land or some shit.

>>83010077
Modern fantasy take on hamlet could be really good.

>>83010156
don't expect it to come out this year, no chance in hell

I'm thinking late 2012/early 2013

>>83010244
>>83010253
Then it won't be unoriginal. I'm quite sure he's going to be Noct's dad simply because of something Nomura had tweeted. It went along the lines of "Someone talking about being a father."

It's probably him.

>implying Hamlet wasn't a god-tier tale.

>>83008875
>Implying it would take place on Cocoon and not on pulse

The sequel bait detailed that there will be rebuilding and that there will probably be looking for the descendents of Oerba and various other villages

>>83010373
I cant remember where i saw it, but someone said they were going to aim for a Q4 release this year.

>>83010481

forgot FF4 Complete and Tactics Ogre

>>83010489
Oh Hamlet was god-tier. I'm just saying copying Hamlet would make SE more unoriginal than they already are.

>>83008875
it'll have a worldmap and an Airship

I HAVE AN OPINION

>>83010619
for Japan, maybe.

>>83010652
well FFIV was a bit of a Starwars rip off, so...

>>83010373
if they didn't release it before 2013 it'd be a real blow to any credibility they would have at releasing games in regular intervals. SE doesn't have any other big titles they're working on in their first production department or whtaever it's called aside from maybe FFXIII-2 and you'd expect that to come out after Versus since versus has been in developement longer

Son, I disappoint.

>>83010652
Well, if they have copied hamlet, i think they've put enough of their own ideas into the game to make it quite interesting.

Heck, even the film remake of Romeo and Juillet with guns wasn't bad.

>>83010481
Versus isn't going to get an English release this year, I'd be quite surprised if it did.

>>83010724
>implying I care

Hopefully, if nothing else, they'll finally give us a release date.

>FFXIII-2
Why not make a sequel to a game that didn't suck or remake one that had wasted potential?

>>83011059
>Heck, even the film remake of Romeo and Juillet with guns wasn't bad.

That movie was amazing. Don't you ever doubt that one bit.

>>83010957
And then FFVersusXIII became Final Fantasy Versus Forever.

>>83011085
>girl Hope

I like.

>>83011076
well here's my thinking, if they PORT the game after a ps3 release instead of a multiplat release, then i wouldn't be surprised if that frees up room for them to work on localization for a simultaneous worldwide release.

>>83011076
Well, even if it gets a jp release this year, it shouldn't take long to localise to the west.

Don't forget Tactics Ogre in february I think

>>83011215
>mfw that actually is a dude.

>>83010957
versus has been in development since 2002

>you are now thinking of all the ff games that have come out before it

>>83010957
Well if they are doing XIII-2 they would actually want to do it fast, that way they don't have to update graphical resources or the game engine.
If it comes out within the next 1.5 years then they don't have to do as much work.
They can reuse the resources like they did for X and X-2
Keeps production costs and effort down.

>>83008875
All they really need to do is the second one.
Inputting every command for the chars would make the battle system 10x amazing than it already is.

Also remove auto-battle so people can't complain about it.

After 2 objectively bad games (XIII, XIV), gamers would question the integrity of any other game series. But not Final Fantasy.

>>83004707
I detect that you have not played 4.0 recently, it has improved quite a lot. I'm really enjoying myself with it.

>>83011383

3 objectively bad games, you forgot 12

>>83011233
It'll probably be ported if anything, and if that happens, it means the west is going to have to wait even longer, while its ported to the 360, because MS will pay a fuckload to make sure theres a simultaneous release

>>83011261
>mfw IGN calls the 15 year old Tactics Ogre the Japanese Mass Effect

>>83011445
FFXII wasn't THAT bad. It wasn't the greatest either.

>>83011383
The difference is most people on here have no interest in MMO's, and didn't have high expectations for XIII from the trailers ect. Versus though could be interesting.

>>83011468
well then only 3 months at most. that was the time for FFXIII for localization and porting. In fact, I would expect SE to improve on that time

>mfw ill be pirating this

>>83011423
Who the hell would, confidence in that game and Square's ability to do something right has been shot in the foot.
4.0 is pure shit that seems to be working its way to mediocre garbage.
Maybe one day it will reach the level of sup-par MMO, Square can only dare to dream.
That game was a mistake, I can't believe they even attempted it.
The MMO market is far too hostile for anything less than a stellar product to have a hope in hell of succeeding.
Unless it's free to play, then it's a different story.

it will come to 360 due to PS3's upcoming Piracy
they need to make profit, making it exclusive wont make any profit

>>83011445
XII had enough redeeming qualities in it to make it atleast average in my book.

>>83011152
>Slap in all the extra content they took out
>Update character models
>Update gameplay

There. Sequel done.

What's this? Final fantasy? After 13 this shit is dead to me.

>>83011667
The more FFXIII began to reveal information, the less I wanted to play it.

>>83011792
>implying your favorite game series doesn't have an embarrassing entry.

>>83011720
master key master race

>>83011736
Theres quite a thing few things they can do to the new games to stop them being pirated, or atleast make it very difficult. The master keys won't make cracking the game ect any easier.
If its ported, it wont be because of piracy

>>83011849
>implying XIII is embarrassing.
If anything, X is the shitstain that fucked the series.

>>83011301
right, but SE wants to be a profitable company year after year. I'm sure they'd spread out their releases and even then some since 13 and more specifically 14 have really given them a blow to their confidence. I wouldn't be surprised if they took more time on things if they needed to, as evidence with Deus Ex's delay

>>83011383
.>>83011445

1 - 10 were objectively bad strategy games.

>>83011570

http://insomnia.ac/reviews/playstation2/finalfantasyxii/

If you think Versus XIII won't be terrible, you're just deluding yourself.

I have to say I REALLY have my hopes up for XIII Versus. From what I've seen so far the overall theme of the game seems to be great, especially when you consider that this is the first time that a Final Fantasy game will be M rated.
Make Noctis have some of the character traits from Squall / Cloud and don't fuck up the rest of the crew, especially not the driver guy with the glasses. Don't turn Stella into a whiny bitch and we have got ourselves a great game.

If XIII-2 was announced it would actually be a game I'm looking forward to as well. While XIII might not have been perfect I think it delivered a great basis which could easily be improved by refining and adding a few mechanics.

Don't fuck this up Squeenix

>>83011930
actually they can the only way to stop it is releasing a new console

>>83011971
Deus Ex is only delayed because they know it will be profitable and will make a lot of money.
Now you might think "then why delay it"
The reason is quite simple.
XIV was so fucking terrible that it single handedly fucked one of SE's financial quarters.
To release a blockbuster in a financial quarter like that would not reflect how well said game performed and sold.
They delayed Deus Ex so it wouldn't be near the taint of XIV.

>>83007304
>>83007198
God damn I keep coming across this opinion of Rinoa. I can't even remember what she was like because the last time I played it was when it came out. I guess I have to replay it soon

>>83011294
Yeah well, keep in mind they had to take a break and help FFXIII-team when FFXIII went multiplat

final fantasy cycle
holding true ever since ff12

>>83012066
>Make Noctis have some of the character traits from Squall / Cloud

Nomura said Noctis will act more like past secondary characters. He said he's not going to be sad or brooding.

>and don't fuck up the rest of the crew, especially not the driver guy with the glasses.

YES THIS. ;__;

>Don't turn Stella into a whiny bitch and we have got ourselves a great game.

Stella will determine a lot of things.

>>83012066
soz man, but I'm sure the characters won't come out the way you hope they will, but it probably won't be as bad as it can be.

for instance, I read on the wiki that nomura says that noctis "is not a dull gloomy boy"

I can tell you right now that, that is the biggest horseshit you will ever hear.

I call him being emo, but I'm still psyched like hell for this game

>>83012066

lol what makes you think this would end up M-rated

Noctis is going to act like Setzer or Edgar. A dude that puts up a front acting all cool in front of girls. Then he shies away.

>>83012192
I'mmmm not sure Wada would risk his job by allowing a 92% drop in profits year over year for that...

>>83012066
You have pretty low expectations already if you really think what you've listed are the key elements to making a good game.

>>83012481
it's more action oriented/bleaker/darker.

>>83012414
Stella will be the new Aya Brea

The cool one, that didn't take shit from anyone, ran head first into a fucking rapture-like nightmare fighting DNA evolved hellspawn like a boss

The old Aya's ghost needs it.

>>83012481
probably mention of it being dark and having blood

I doubt a M rating as well

>>83012481
It has already been confirmed. Watch the trailer a second time you can see Noctis impaling people with his sword along with blood - even in-game.

From that one unvoice trailer with dialogue, Noctis comes off as more of "i'm 2cool4school" kind of guy, rather than emo

>>83012481
Probably came from nomura saying this was the first FF to be aimed specifically for a mature audience.

>>83012595
you must not have played FF7

>>83012517
Noctis is just like /v/: bros with his friends, tries to be all bad ass around women but fails and neckbeards it. Only difference is that he's not fat.

Finally a Final Fantasy protagonist /v/ can relate to.

Rated M for Mature Gamers Such As Myself

>>83012522
One quarter had a 90% drop in profit forecasts because of XIV.
To release Deus Ex in that quarter would reduce that margin but the quarter is still fucked.
Then the next quarter will also be pretty shit because they have unstacked the deck for it.
How does that give confidence to investors?
If they have a quarter with Deus Ex and Dissidia 012 it is better than Deus Ex in a shit quarter and Dissidia 012 being hung to dry.
A great quarter makes investors want to invest.
A mediocre quarter and an ok quartet do not.
Deus Ex is being delayed so it gets released in a different financial quarter.
Releasing it into the wake of destruction left by XIV wouldn't do Square any favors.
They have made a smart move delaying it.

GUYS, STOP BEING EXCITED OVER A GAME.

DID YOU HEAR ME?

I SAID, STOP IT. YOU'RE JUST DELUDING YOURSELVES.

THE LAST GAMES WERE BAD. opinions

HAVE YOU STOPPED YET?

>>83012801
are you saying 7 was m rated cause as i recall it was teen

>>83005560
Man I'm excited for FFvXIII but FFXIII-2 would be fucking AWESOME... Just a few tweaks to the battle system, less linearity, and it would be the best FF ever

A M-rated Final Fantasy could influence the series very positively if the use of it is not just limited to blood.

>>83012857
Sure is baseless speculation around here.

>>83012870
>Implying FFXIII was ever bad.

Its better than VIII

Haters gonna hate

>>83012954
It's not baseless. It was stated by Nomura.

>>83012874
no im saying it was dark and ven had blood
I highly doubt this game will even have any

>>83013024
They were being sarcastic.

> Interesting and productive Final Fantasy thread on /v/
> People still have the desire to troll or to quit discussing games
> My face when

>>83012954

You should read more interviews.

>>83013024
>XIII
>Better than VIII
Kids say the darnedest things these days.

>>83012898
>Just a few tweaks to the battle system

Isn't more likely that it'll have a completely new BS?
Just like X-2 or any other major FF

>>83013024
i'd rather draw cards in FF8 than play that boring FF game
I can only play FF13 for about a few minutes before I get bored

Don't turn this thread into a shitstorm

>>83013271
confirmed for topsyturvy

>>83013178
Very depressing isn't it?


Any theories on what the characters' weapons will be? We all know that Faggot-kun is a fugitive and uses a gun.

>>83013271
>i'd rather draw cards in FF8 than play that boring FF game

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>83013271

And now this thread has gone to shit. Ah well, we had a solid 100 posts of good conversation /v/

>>83013596
are you talking about nocts' weapons?

swords, spears, shields and guns, more will probably be announced later

from what we do know of the game, it's doubtful you'll have any characters help you at anytime, so they're weapons are a bit moot

>>83013596
>We all know that Faggot-kun is a fugitive and uses a gun.

a fugitive? really? haven't heard that one.

I figure the gun is just from the trailers, but since the trailers are so old, i wouldn't be surprised if the characters have gone through some changes. I even heard their outfits have changed

Final Fantasy XIII Versus will be the best Final Fantasy to be ever released and will set a new benchmark for JRPG's. If only this could turn out to be true ;_; - save my favourite vidya series before it is beyond salvation

>>83012922
God i hope so

>>83013858
It was revealed in the trailer that Faggot-kun is a fugitive, and that firearms are illegal in Noct's country. So it's very likely that he's from another kingdom that ran away into Noctis'.

>>83013965
I wasn't thinking of nudity when I wrote that. My hopes were that the M-Rating applies to the overall theme of the game.
Have this nevertheless

>>83013802
If Se revealed more things, I'm quite sure we can talk more about this hoa- I mean game.

>>83014160
>Has belly button piercing
>no L'Cie Brand

But a brand on her chest would've been soooooooo hot

>>83013965

>my face when they are over sexualizing Aya Brea on that psp game

It's not even my big issue of that game.

I'm more excited for Agito actually, if for no other reason than it'll come out sooner than Versus

>>83014712
I like how they say "that wasn't our intention!" It's just as dumb as Itagaki saying "STOP MASTURBATING TO MY DAUGHTERS" or the creator of Shantae.

Those games have been in the works for like 5 years. SE should just give up and sell off their assets

That gun wielding guy reminds me of Barry Manilow.

>>83009827
>party member

He thinks this game will have a "party".

>>83005560
>Speculations have led to the belief that Goddes Etro was reason Lightning ended up there.

Soooo... XIII and Versus really WILL tie in together?

Actually, probably just getting my hopes up.

>>83015153
Actually, I kind of see what you mean.

>>83009827
>mfw I hope this happens but will be disappointed just like I was with Beatrix

goooood i wanted her in my party

>>83015266
All the FNC games are in the same universe, but separate stories and locations. So basically if Lightning's world is Earth, Noctis' is Omicron Persei VIII, and Agito's is Vergon 6, they can technically get on a space ship and meet each other.

>Versus
>Agito

What is this, Pokemon Red and Blue?

>cricits vidya

>>83015512
I don't think that's how it works...

That's how it works for the FF universe, but I think the FF13 games take place on the same planet at different time periods.

Agito -> Versus -> FFXIII

>>83011261
I'm somewhat interested in this, except that I'm not sure it wouldn't be FF tactics in another coating. I know Tactics Orge came first, but I'm not sure It'd offer all that much new. And i'm not HUGE on SRPGs. Back in the day Tactics and FM3/4 really filled that need for me and then Disgaea came along and really revitalized it. But going back doesn't seem that rewarding to someone who never played the original back then

>>83015609
No.
Both are absolutely different games.
One is for the PS3, other is for the PSP, and none of them feature the same characters, setting or story.

The only reason they're tied is because the XIII games are tied to Crystals and gods. It's just a common trend between all 3 games that ties them, but they don't actually connect, story or universe-wise.

>>83015645
No, NO, NO. SE said the FNC games are NOT on the same planet, just the same universe with the SAME mythos.

TIME KOMPRESSION

>>83015850
Oh? They're all in the same universe?
Ok, I had that wrong in this >>83015849 post then.

But like I said, none of the characters from the 3 games meet each-other, since they're planets apart.

>>83015850
>>83015957
No, its the opposite. They are on the same planet but have occurred in different time periods but only connected through the Crystal theme.

>>83015645
It doesn't really matter how you think it works, it's been stated otherwise. It doesn't matter anyway, it's just a pointless effort to group a bunch of unrelated games together like the Ivalice Alliance.

No the games are just related using the crystal engine.

>>83016033
Oh god now I have no idea what is what.
DOES ANYONE HERE HAVE NOMURA'S NUMBER?

>>83015850
Hrmmmmmm, i wonder what the FNC logo could represent...

>>83016051
Well Ivalice Alliance has a pretty solid timeline...it's hard to argue that at least.

For now it's hard to say how the games are connected. I mean, shit, we barely know ANYTHING about Versus and Agito, seriously.

How much you guys want to bet that Duocecim will have a secret video with Cosmos talking to Noctis insinuating there will be a third Dissidia game?

>>83016090
There was a source for it. Seems the source is gone, let me see if I can dig it up but I'm pretty sure they are on the same planet but different times.

No idea when this image first came up, but the world looks to be more open like FF12.

Image refused to upload for some reason so I'll just post a direct link

I haven't kept up with this game at all. And I can't be assed to read this entire thread.

But I have to say those bros up there in >>83004405 are fucking hot. Goddamn.

>>83016131
Isn't it this goddess lady?

>>83016090
666, I believe.

it is :universe" they have never said Versus is on Gran Pulse, frankly they could do some crazy tie-ins but all we got right now is..

Gods controlling fate theme
Crystals
Goddess Etro being in both games

>>83016220

derp derp

>>83015751
well its pretty much like fft with branching storylines (real branching storylines)

>>83004352
Final Fantasy Type-0 will be announced, that's for sure.
It's probably going to be a 3DS game.

Can anyone please tell me why people are looking forward to these games, though? From what I saw of that TGS screening or the trailers they look unpolished as hell.

Agito looks decent, but Versus looks dull as hell, especially the fighting and how slow it is.

I better be able to romance the other party members in Agito cause flute girl has got me a bonar
