What kind of name is 'Hope' for a boy?

 

[Max Payne]

 

[Tennyo]

That site says there is a trailer with the English dub but it links to the Japanese trailers that we've all already seen. :/

What kind of name is 'Hope' for a boy?

I dunno, but his design is bleh. Oh well.

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

He looks like a girlier Luneth. If that's even possible.

 

[Frostwave]

I like Luneth. That cute little ponytail. But he is pretty girly.

Just noticed that little scarf/bandanna thing on new dood. Pew.

I hope he's better than his design.

 

[Tennyo]

Looks like a kid. Could be cute.

 

[Cannon_Fodder]

Uh...isn't that the kid from the IGN English trailer? I bet this is old, but this one:

He shows up around 1:47, as far as I can tell.

 

[Tennyo]

Ah, so is that the English Trailer that I couldn't find?

EDIT: hhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm dunno 'bout that English dub...

I love that shot of Lightning in front of Odin, so badass.

If I were a soldier of Cocoon and saw that, I'd be like "uh, yeah...we'll go bother someone else".

 

[Sephiroth]

I got to say that Odin looks so ugly. I prefer the original Odin than like that in my opinion.

 

[Tennyo]

@ Drake: Ditto that. I already love Lightning in that she's just so badass, and I just lover her character design. I really hope my opinion continues to hold true once the actual game comes out.

Heck I even kinda want to cosplay her. lol

@ Seph: He looks fine for what the summons are in this game in my opinion. I'm just sad that he has no horse.

 

[paoo]

I love Lightning's design, and that she is the female version of Cloud.
I know that she will be one of my fav characters..

And about that kid, he looks cute. :3 and ghey

He totally IS the horse.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Yeah, it's really cool but weird that his lower half is a horse. He's essentially a centaur knight.

He ate Selphnir.

 

[Tetsujin]

Nonono, he totally transforms into a horse and Lightning rides on him.

...lucky bastard.

He ate Selphnir.

Selphie?
Or Sleipnir?

 

[Makoeyes987]

Oops, Sleipnir

 

[Strangelove]

Does FFXIII Odin have no neck?

This is an important matter and I need to know.

 

[Frostwave]

It looks like you can just see his spinal cord from that picture, and the trailer one page back.

 

[Tennyo]

He totally IS the horse.

Say what? You're shitting me.

Sounds kind of cool, though.

OMG Transformers, in MY Final Fantasy?

 

[Strangelove]

I guess that's what the director guy (Toriyama? I forgot his name) was talking about in the message on the official site. He mentioned summons having a normal mode and a 'driving' mode, and I guess that's the Motorbike Shiva and Horse Odin thing.

Which still feels weird

 

[Makoeyes987]

I fucking love it, personally.

 

[Tennyo]

Does sound pretty cool.

Also lol: http://ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/826843/final-fantasy-xiii/videos/ff13_spc_trans1_42909.html

 

[Sephiroth]

Well I didn't know that the summons transforms. So that's a new system on a Final Fantasy game.

 

[Teva]

Odin's face reminds me of a rat for some reason though I do love the idea of him transforming his lower region to that of a horse's. I mean riding on a centauric creature is pretty badass and then you get to ride him--er it--yeah sounds pretty cool to me.

EDIT: That new white-haired kid looks like a girl---a really pretty girl with an equally girly name. Not sure if I like that.
