Look at the username for a clue.



Again, DNF came out before Versus. FFv13 will take DNF's legacy now that the latter is finally out.

Duke Nukem Forever was released 14 years after it was initially announced.

Versus was announced in what? 2006?

We've got a long fucking while before it gets even close to Duke's title.

13-3 is just fucking pushing it.

Just remake VII already. :wacky:

Still... There goes the statement about they believe XIII's story is complete.

Then again, I did think it could be a make up for not giving up Agito/Type-0... ???

Because I want to: :moar:

We've got a long fucking while before it gets even close to Duke's title.

As I said, Versus will be released and then the next day the world will end.

Double post because of this:

“Final Fantasy XIII-2 director Motomu Toriyama has provided a big hint about when we can expect to hear the game’s final release date. During the Q&A session of a fan event held in Tokyo over the weekend, Toriyama was asked by attendees for a more specific date than the currently announced December timeframe. He responded “It will be announced at Tokyo XXXXXX.”

The number of Xs in his response — at least as Famitsu.com transcribed it in its report from the event — matches the Japanese word for “Game Show” (which is just “Game Show”), so it looks like we’ll get the date next week!

Tokyo Game Show may also be the revealing grounds for the identity of the mysterious man who was shown in a confrontation in Valhalla with Lightning during the game’s first trailer earlier this year. Square Enix’s PR department said to expect this info from next week’s big event as well.


Other points mentioned in the Q&A session:


Asked if they’re looking into releasing download content, producer Yoshinori Kitase asked a PR person “Is it okay if I say?” but was denied permission, so he instead said that they’re actively looking into it.
Asked if we’ll get a limited edition, Kitase said they’re “really actively looking into it.”


If you have your XIII save data, you’ll get some bonuses in XIII-2.
As previously announced, XIII-2 has a monster raising component. Your characters are built up using a new growth system like the Crystarium system from the original. Your monsters have their own growth system which is similar to this.


You’ll find over 150 monster types in the game. They all have unique inputs for performing their special skills, so those who aren’t too good with action games can select a monster with simple controls.

In XIII, you could only ride Chocobos in the Gran Pulse world. In XIII-2, you can ride them anywhere. However, you won’t have access to Chocobos at the start of the game. You’ll gain access at a point where it starts to be difficult to move around with ease.


The game will have a red Chocobo. Toriyama says that this will be a unique Chocobo amongst the series’ Chocobos.


That Moogle Serah uses as a weapon and as a means of grabbing items items is from Lightning’s world. He’s come to help Serah.


The “Fragments” shown in last week’S screenshots of the game’s time travel interface are part of a quest system. You get them from NPCs and can attempt to clear the related quest. You’ll start to encounter these fragments right from the game’s first chapter.

Asked about the game’s length, Toriyama explained that just looking at the story volume, it’s a bit shorter than XIII. However, there are all sorts of additional play elements this time, including the time travel, the fragments, and lots of mini games.


It was already announced that most of the characters from XIII will appear in XIII-2. We’ll get an introduction to some of those characters at TGS. Some of the characters will be playable (not necessarily at TGS, but playable in the game).


Serah and Snow are not yet married, and Snow apparently has a good reason for this. In the final version of the game, we’ll get the full word on the current status of their relationship.


Development on XIII-2 is currently at 90%. The game has been in development for a little over one and a half years, according to Kitase.”

And two more screenshots that I think they haven't been posted yet:

I'm very curious about which FFXIII characters will be present. A pre-l'Cie Raines would be nice, imho. A little bit of Rygdea and Rosch would be fine too :awesome:

The fuck. They were practically planning their wedding already in the first game. Will be interested to see what the reasoning is behind this (Lightning going missing, perhaps, and Snow doesn't want to move forward without big sis there?)

Some of the characters will be playable (not necessarily at TGS, but playable in the game).
please sazh please fang please sazh please fang please EVERYONE

Edit: in the time it took me to post this it pleases me that two more posts were made calling for Sazh. and fuck yeah, we need a fanclub

Yep, pretty sure that's the reason. I doubt Serah would want to have the wedding without her there either, especially after she finally gave them her blessing. :P

Right, I just can't remember at what time after the end of the game Lightning goes missing. Wasn't it a couple of months? I would think that would be time enough for a post-apocalyptic wedding :monster:

I love Sazh KH Mobile version. Still, the novel ocurred not so long after the events of Final Fantasy XIII. I can even say it was right after. So I think that Cocoon residents have all been evacuated by now (Two years and almost a complete city should be enough)...So I still want SE to tell me where is the Afro-Man

Lightning disappeared right after Sazh and Hope went with their families, leaving Snow and Serah alone atop the hill where the group had been un-crystallized.

About Snow and Serah not marrying yet, I was discussign the issue with a friend from DA and FF.net. I'll transcribe what she wrote me because I think she expressed it better than I could possibly do:

Dantesdarqueen said:
I think the reason Serah refers to Snow as "a friend" is because she's done some thinking. You have to remember how long her and Snow's relationship actually was before she became crystal: one or two weeks. A marriage proposal in that little span is almost unheard-of because there simply isn't enough time for the relationship to develop beyond a desire to get to know one another and the initial physical lust. My guess is that Snow's proposal was spurred not just by the way he felt, but also by the urgency of Serah's predicament. He wanted her to be happy before she became (as he must have seen it) a souless monster. Serah was probably feeling the same way, so they may have mistaken a teenage romance for genuine love. Given time and opportunity, such a relationship can turn into the real deal. But for them, there just wasn't that luxury. Serah may have come to that conclusion herself either while she was in crystallized slumber or after she awoke, and since I STILL haven't finished FFXIII I don't know what happened to Snow (though I can hazard a guess). Snow's devotion to Serah during the game was due to his own bleak outlook following his marking and the fact that he'd never met a girl quite like her. He applied the same fanatacism that he expresses to NORA to Serah, and in doing so either truly came to love her or at least convinced himself he did. So my guess is that the engagement necklace probably doesn't represent a future to Serah anymore; she probably uses it to symbolize Snow's devotion to her, his promise to always protect her.

But then again we're talking about Final Fantasy. That has happened in many movies etc so I wouldn't be surprised if, in fact, they get married or loved each other like they did. That is how we think in real life, that's for sure, but SE has a innate ability to make fantasy stuff happen... I get her point though.

Oh, I didn't realize they had only been together for two weeks. I figured it was longer than that. :/
