Final Fantasy XIII-2

[Aqua]

I can't wait to throw Mog and have the NPCs flip out at his amazing abilities again.

 

[Catherine]

OK, mah bad. I didn't know this was the FFXIII-2 fanclub, I'll make sure to come back only when I have something to squee over.

continue your discussion

I never said people can't voice their opinions. It's okay not to like something, but you don't have to keep repeating the same stuff over and over.

BUT ANYWAYS, MOVING ON.

 

[Splintered]

Honestly, I think EVERYONE in the FFXIII cast did a fantastic job. Yes, including Vanille's VA. I've seen some interviews, and the girl KNOWS a lot of people think her voice is annoying, but that's just how the directors wanted it to be. Plus, there's a reason behind her cheery, loud attitude.

I just
Ugh :/

I dunno. Even in her dramatic moments I thought she was at best, decent. Certainly not to the level of everyone else, but I'll have to see her in something else.

Also, Troy Baker is amazing, how did I not know of him until XIII? I know he was around long before it, but one minute I'm like, "Who is this Troy fellow, he's actually really good" and now he's in everything ever. Two face, Bioshock infinte, he's apparently Ryu Hayabusa, Vincent, jfc he is everybody. And I'm okay with that.

Hope's really good too even though he's pretty young. But it's probably because he's been in Phinneas and Ferb and has a good amount of experience. I'm kind of interested in seeing how he'll play Hope now that he's older. It's okay for a seventeen year old to play a 14 year old kid, it'll probably be harder to pull off a 25 year old. Reno Wilson is great to, he does comedy really well and the drama stuff even better. Also, upset that Fang/Rachel doesn't seem like she's getting any new roles. That makes no sense to me because she proved to be so good, what the hell voice acting world.

Also, everyone loves Ali Hillis. I'll be honest and say that at first I was kind of worried because I wasn't fond of Liara and I hated how her voice sounded like she ran a fucking marathon and she was out of breath. But she was great as Lightning and now I can't see any one else as her.

Spoiler

Also she sounds like the nicest person ever who genuinely loves playing Lightning. And it gives me the warm fuzzies when I see a VA love and respect their character.

I'm done lathering praise over the VA's, but XIII really did make me a fan.

 

[Aqua]

I love seeing Ali Hillis and Troy Baker together at cons. They are so hilarious together.

Why you get to play friday? D:

I have to wait until tuesday

also, sami remind me tuesday that I have to go to best buy to pick it up

Cause I live in Britain and it's getting released here on the 3rd of February and that's a Friday? I don't see way you're being such a sad panda when I have to wait a WHOLE THREE DAYS LONGER than you

 

[ForceStealer]

Agreed on FFXIII's vocal cast praise. Vanille's iffy, but really the voicing was never a problem with that game. Lightning, Sazh, Snow, Fang all sounded excellent. And for all my issues with Hope, his voice was never one of them.

Ali Hillis' awesomeness knows no bounds.

@OWD thinking Serah sounds like an anime cliche...have you SEEN Serah?

 

[Strangelove]

I thought the UK was getting it early for a moment there and was wondering what strange new world I'd slipped into where Europe would get a Square game early.

3 days later is crazy enough.

 

[Kikki]

^ Really? Lol I didn't mean to confuse everyone but then again it was Saturday for me when I posted that comment

 

[Splintered]

Ali Hillis' awesomeness knows no bounds.

I just heard the new interview with Ali Hillis, everytime she seems more and more like an awesome person.

EDIT: I don't really understand why games are always released on Tuesdays in the US and the UK some other day. I once heard someone explain it, but tbh, it seems like a weird formality.

 

[ForceStealer]

Doesn't hurt that she's hot either...

 

[AvecAloes]

^^ true that.

 

[Celes Chere]

... You know what, let's just pretend this never happened and keep talking to each other about how close the game is. You know, the people who are actually interested in it and stuff.

SO YEAH 5 DAYS LEFT FOR ME WEEE

WOW WHO MADE THAT AWESOME GIF SHE MUST BE REALLY AWESOME

I'm actually pretty excited about the game for uh... Noelx Hope and the fact the battle system seems a lot more fun, but not excited enough to buy it. Excited enough to request it as an birthday present though. > So I'll have mine around march YIPPEEE. Though i might pick it up sooner if maybe a friend gets it and I get to play it before hand and see how I really like it. x3

 

[Lumina]

I never said people can't voice their opinions. It's okay not to like something, but you don't have to keep repeating the same stuff over and over.

I love you.

Anyways, well I agree with my dear Alex. I love the Final Fantasy XIII cast and, even though I didn't liked Vanille's AT ALL, for the rest of the cast I can say its a fantastic job. I love Laura Bailey (Catherine and Serah? Please), but also Troy Baker. Ali Hillis, from an actress to a vg VA, it was fantastic. I never noticed her voice until I found out she was Lightning. Not even Final Fantasy X (My favorite FF) did as good as a job as this one.

TBH I am not intrigued at all by the story. I mean yeah , I like a game with a good story, but I really love this game's system. And also because I want to know what happens AFTER THE GAME. And well, for the people who don't like it too bad. They're release it anyway and gain more than a few millions whether they like it or not.

 

[Tifabelle]

he's apparently Ryu Hayabusa,

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS INFORMATION. OMG TROY BAKER IS LOVE <3

Cause I live in Britain and it's getting released here on the 3rd of February and that's a Friday? I don't see way you're being such a sad panda when I have to wait a WHOLE THREE DAYS LONGER than you

I thought you meant this friday

sometimes I forget what day it is

 

[Fangu]

3 days later is crazy enough.

If anyone kan find ou why it's 3 days I'd like to know. It's not bothering me much but I would like to know what reason they have for doing this. I guess it's related to which day sells more in the two places, but still.

My only guess? The majority of big name release dates in the US are on a Tuesday. The majority of big name release dates in the UK are Friday.

Why? Who knows. Magic.

TBH I am not intrigued at all by the story. I mean yeah , I like a game with a good story, but I really love this game's system.

I think the only reason I'm not raging about the story is because I already knew that Toriyama would do something ridiculous, and it's a time travel story about a younger counterpart, I've seen what he does with it. I actually really like XIII's story- hated the execution of it, but overall the plot interested me- but I dunno, as soon as I heard time traveling and paradoxes I though, ohhh man these are already hard as hell to pull of without looking derp. The only thing I really wish they addressed is a more honest look at the Fabula Nova mythology.

 

[Masamune]

Has it be confirmed if Sazh is going to be in this game?

After looking at what they've done to the other returning characters, I think he might be better off out of it.

He'll end up looking like Huggy Bear.

 

[Catherine]

They might release a DLC episode for him but nothing has been entirely confirmed as far as I know.

 

[Russell]

(Late to the party) But FFXIII-2 is out on Tuesday?

And I&#8217;ve been looking at the wiki entry, this game has multiple endings? That&#8217;s a first for an FF game isn't it?

I'm interested, but I don't remember the first one to fondly...

 

[ForceStealer]

Well depends on your definition. X-2 technically had different endings but it was more a matter of you got to see more of it depending on how "well" you did. In terms of ACTUALLY different endings, yes I think it is.

 

[Lex]

According to IGN the other day, there is 1 main ending and the rest are kind of like "what if's".

 

[Arianna]

As the game is in the form we will receive on Tuesday: yes, this is true.

 

[Lex]

I'm starting to worry about spoilers. I haven't been properly spoiled on anything yet, but I read a review that said

Spoiler

fans will rage at the ending

which I've seen around in a few forms.

This is making me worry slightly. No matter how much I like or dislike a FF game, I usually

Spoiler

get a bit emotional at the end because I've spent a shit load of time on it

and if what I've read is true, that may not happen.

I might have to avoid this thread to avoid being spoiled. I had to completely stop going to the Naughty Dog forums before Uncharted 3 came out. Not that anything too interesting happened in that story wise anyway...

Please tell me you're joking about that...

 

[Lex]

Oh I frikkin love Uncharted, and 3 was a phenomenal entry. It's become one of my all time favourite game series'.

And I liked the story in 3, love a bit of Nate/Sully backstory. I just about creamed my pants when chapter 2 hit and it was young Nate. Seriously awesomeness.

But I was a bit disappointed with the lack of Nate/Elena progression, even though there was a little

Spoiler

with the ring scenario and stuff

and loved the

Spoiler

tender moment after the boat sequence

. But I was pissed that they

Spoiler

tore them apart and put them back together again

. All felt a bit too Uncharted 2. Which is great, except it's almost the same story, and it didn't really go anywhere IMO.
