Final Fantasy Type-0/XIII Agito

[Guts]

Has anyone seen the intro to this game? It's mindscrewingly dark, what with a person bleeding out and proclaiming that he doesn't want to die. Merciless killing, a raw and stoic depiction of infantry warfare. Surprised if Versus XIII can still uphold itself to it's promises on a dark and powerful narrative when it's own sibling is outgrowing the same pair of boots it's wearing.

 

[Tetsujin]

That's some dark shit for FF.

I like it.
Again, SE: Bring it to PS3 and Vita over here. DO EEEET.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

Wow. Nothing like a Chocobo lying in a pool of its own blood to let us know this isn't going to be your standard FF game.

 

[Lumina]

Well I won't be surprised if Versus didn't stand up to this one. Since its the one that said to be "darkest" from the beginning. And...judging by the trailers is some deep thing.

I saw that. I like Izana (Or whatever his name is). Also um...wasn't that video posted already?

 

[Guts]

I just had to highlight all the death and carnage. Bee-you-teeful. Nothing wrong with high octane, fast paced Monster Hunter meets FF wrapped in war horror happy storyline dressing. I'm told that the final cutscene is many times worse as well, though I'm as in the dark about what it is as anyone is here.

I wouldn't mind jamming it up on Ad Hoc Party with any number of you for multiplayer. I love hunting type games.

 

[Dark and Divine]

I might be exaggerating, but from what I saw of this game up until now, I think it's more worthy to be a main FF game than XIII itself.

 

[Lumina]

I'm told that the final cutscene is many times worse as well

Do you know by any chance where it can be found??? I want to watch and spoil myself but youtube is useless atm.

 

[Guts]

Nope. It's in the ending, pretty much. All I'm told is that "if you think THAT'S bad..." - Yeah.

That scene didn't help my depression, the intro... Can't imagine what this'd do.

 

[Lumina]

^^ Oh well. I really want to see the ending but I don't know where to look for it. All I've done so far is look on Youtube and wikipedia. I just can't wait. >(

 

[Lumina]

Ok, double post for some spoilers I found. (DO NOT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO GET SPOILED)

Spoiler

-The True ending is a sad one. As Drake Clawfang stated all the Class Zero Dies.
-The Secret ending, is the other way around. Every member in the Class Zero lives. The girls are seen running around school, Ace wears glasses and the boys form a band. Rumor has it you can find it on the second playthrough. Oh! And Sice gives Kurasame her love letter

 

[Guts]

What I like is that the hero is a brutal hypocrite in that cutscene, only checking on his dead friend after he had passed. That's saddening. He put up a front of strength and pretended to not care, betraying himself entirely the moment he wasn't witnessed. Made me feel sorry for the poor guy steadily losing his life.

Methinks it's a sign of his naivete and growing into a man will naturally be part of his character. I hope.

 

[Scias]

Oh god the spoilers

Let's see how much I can last. Btw, this game looks so dark it's beautiful. I love this kind of stories. War, politics, deceptions, death, destruction, blood. Grrrr.

GILGAMESH!

And btw... was I the only one kinda dissapointed to hear that the version of Clash on the Big Bridge used in this battle is the Dissidia remix? I though they were going to make a whole new one ;_;

 

[Lumina]

To tell you the truth I haven't been this amazed and excited for a videogame for 10 years. After Final Fantasy X all the games (Except for Kingdom Hearts) have been "OK". But this one? I can't even begin to express how much I love this. Is definitely one of my top games of all times. (And I only have one, and that is Final Fantasy X )

And yeah, but if the hero you mean is Ace (LOL since there are so many cutscenes and I"m too sleepy atm) the wikia says that he had to leave his friend in order to help other friends. He thought he could make it in time, but he didn't. Or something like that. I don't remember pretty much the Demo cutscene.

Yeah I agree c: I feel like FF X was the last decent Final Fantasy and it's been a while since a really stellar FF has been made. Other SE RPGS have been amazing... KH had KH2 and Birth by Sleep, Dragon Quest had DQ IX and the Mana series had the ports on the GBA, but Final Fantasy has been ... lacking in quality. FF12 fans may disagree though, but that's ookay c: Though Type 0 just looks and sounds really, really, really amazing <3

 

[Glaurung]

I'm more excited than I should be for a game that I know I won't be playing (me ish poor), but I read some things about this and that character and next thing I know is that I'm searching images like mad to make fanart.

About Kurasame, I thought

Spoiler

he wore the mask to cover some scars or battle wounds. It seems like it's not the case:

Spoiler

This would kill Sice from a massive nosebleed (Almost killed me )

Spoiler: Student!Kurasame

 

[Guts]

Kaias, see about getting the game if you can, seriously! Money might be tight but you could resort to less... You know clean methods until your wallet can compensate, unless the eyepatch route is really far from comfort then yeah I guess that sucks.

It would be awesome to jam with more than my immediate friend circle online. Ad Hoc Party lets you play with anyone and I have all three regions of it, so.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

Final Boss theme. I love the remix of the website theme (dunno the name) in the later half.

 

[Kobato]

Final Boss theme

Hmm it sounds familiar to the 1st tier of Dancing Mad, though I'm a little disappointed, usually FF final boss themes sound like they sound some sort of danger vibe echoed in the song, but this just sounds like a choir singing, there's nothing that triggers a adrienne rush... ):

 

[Lumina]

Takeharu Ishimoto is such a genius. He is my favorite composer along with Yoko Shimomura.

 

[Alex Strife]

What about Uematsu?? Have we already forgotten him? *Sigh*

No doubt Ishimoto and Shimomura are absolutely fantastic. But... Uematsu! Nuff' said.

Oh and that Hiroki Kikuta's not bad.

 

[Guts]

I love the song Type-0 on Disk 3 the most personally, absolutely brilliant composition. Intro music.

 

[Lumina]

What about Uematsu?? Have we already forgotten him? *Sigh*
But... Uematsu! Nuff' said.

No I haven't...but for me he is completely overrated. I like Uematsu, but not as much as I LOVE these two. I personally think that there are amazing composers out there with the same talent..or even more than Nobuo Uematsu.

I love the song Type-0 on Disk 3 the most personally, absolutely brilliant composition. Intro music.

Ahh! I don't remember this one!! I need to listen to it again!! Have you listened to "The Fires Of Suzaku"?! And Three Hours of Fate?! If you haven't....DO. These songs are completely gratious as the rest of the disk

 

[Guts]

'Yea. Can't have the same composer doing every game can we? It's a disappointing and conservative approach, that Uematsu only shit.

Listening to Fires of Suzaku, s'nice. Still don't think it hits it out of the park as the main theme does, but it is nice.

Which one of these are the boss tracks? Oh... Oh it has the main theme aspect spliced in here. Lazy reuse but it's such a great track I like it.

Umm...well you got me. Playing from the demo it seems that, no matter what you do, the same song keeps on playing. That's true, they reuse a lot of things from the original track at least on those ones. But I just like how he plays with them and puts it in a way that never makes you bored of listening to it. Lazy! That's my favorite word

Try "Battle - Peaceful Fightning" if you find the long version, better. I think it was up on the web.

Yes, Uematsu it's a great composer, but I agree with the rest in that he can't compose everything I still miss his style, though
