Final Fantasy XIII Non-Spoiler Thread

[Super Mario]

Disregard that The Game is Broken! AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!

 

[Tennyo]

What?

Also did I hear a proper pronunciation for Vanille's name?

 

[Dark and Divine]

Nice trailer, though the music is a bit too loud.

And in some scenes, the VA's could have done a better job.

 

[Loxetta]

..........
.......
...............I actually like that song in thar I don't know why some people say it doesn't sound good for the game.

 

[Glaurung]

^We must be some of the few people who don't see a problem with the song

Also, I like Yaag's voice

 

[ForceStealer]

That's pretty cool. And I never thought I'd say this, but the song wasn't that bad. It's kinda refreshing as compared to the jpop song that sounds like...every other jpop song ever.

Don't have any problems with the voices so far. And I really really like Sazh's, leaps and bounds better than his Japanese voice.

 

[Glaurung]

I just visited the official European page. Cid doesn't appear anywhere.

Apparently, the FFXIII design team created a number of areas that ended up not going into the final product. How much? Enough to create an additional game, according to Kamikokuryou.

The content was already running on actual PS3 hardware, it seems, but was left out due to considerations for game volume and overall game balanace.

A friend said "I blame the 360". If they had this deleted content up and running on the PS3, yeah, so do I.

 

[Alex]

I'd rather watch PS3 fanboys cry than have more FFXIII content. Both are satisfying in their own way.

 

[Celes Chere]

WOW Leona sounds great. C:
That trailer was pretty kickass, I actually enjoyed watching it. It gets me a little more excited, and some of the other comments have lifted my spirits about the game a bit..... I'll just have to wait until it comes out to see for sure how it is, I guess. I like the voices in this game, besides that little kid. His voice is kinda meeeh. He reminds me a lot of Denzel. xD

I'M REALLY GLAD that Lightning isn't her real name.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

According to what I've seen on the FF Wiki, her real name is

Spoiler

"Eclair"

, which isn't much better.

The trailer song wasn't actually that bad, never heard of Leona Lewis but she sounds alright.

Damn it man! you get no Nogglo's Eemgless and its expansion packs EVAR!!! D:<

 

[Celes Chere]

I actually really like that name, Drake. xD

 

[looneymoon]

Awww, as fail as this game sounds from the reviews, the story line seems intense enough for me to get excited for it anyway. I actually love how close-knit the party seems to be. I love a story where a group of outcasts form a familial bond. Gets me every single time. FF tends to pull those off fairly well, hoping this one will be no exception.

Agreeing with everyone's sentiments on Lewis.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Really liking these voice actors they've selected. Everyone sounds really damn good, even Hope's father.

Lightning's spot on, and so is Snow, Yaag -- hell, all of them.

It's like they tried to get the English voices to actually sound like the Japanese voices as much as possible. I'm really impressed.

I know there's going to be people who won't like Fang's voice, but she had an accent in Japanese too, so hopefully I can curtail any hate in her direction right now.

I like the voices in this game, besides that little kid. His voice is kinda meeeh. He reminds me a lot of Denzel. xD

You really think so? I thought he sounded nothing like Denzel's voice actor. XD

In fact, I was most worried about them fucking up Hope's voice and casting him too young, but it sounds like they hit it just right. He's perfect. Listen to that "I don't want to see you get hurt because of me" line again.

It won't be. They pull it off really well here.

No doubt. Leona's awesome. Her song is better than the original.

Don't you read Tet's siggy, Drake? Spoilers make Cissnei sad.

Four stories list Fang as one of the two main characters. And surprise surprise, all of them seem to be FangxVanille stories! I can't imagine why.

 

[Tennyo]

Drake....

Spoilers...

There is a separate thread. Please go there. >

 

[DrakeClawfang]

What? I wasn't giving any spoilers! So I mention FangxVanille, big spoiler, two of the party members are friends! Now, if I'd said

Spoiler

I read a fanfic about their death scene

, THAT would be a spoiler.

(actual FF13 spoiler in there)

 

[Tetsujin]

Maybe she's talking about Lightning's supposed true name which you posted earlier?

Also, Tennyo: I demand you put up your Cissnei spoiler sig again until FFXIII is released internationally.
Or make a new FFXIII version of it?

 

[DrakeClawfang]

Except she had tagged that, she was referring to my more recent post with which nothing was spoiler-ish at all. Maybe the link gave spoilers, but if you go to the FF13 fanfiction section what do you expect?

 

[Tennyo]

I mean both, actually.

Just WATCH. IT. BUSTER.

lol

I might do both, since that tag was made a while back when I was still a PS nub.

I have a request.
Drake, stop being a total dickhead and spilling spoilers in this thread. As I've been looking forward to this game for a ridiculously long time (like many other people), I'm trying to avoid spoilers like the plague. The SPOILER thread is there for a reason.
Some of us want the story details to remain a suprise, tyvm.
k?
k i'm done.

I have a request too - kiss my ass.

I blurted out Lightning's real name (which may not even be true) and mentioned that two party members are friends, something that common logic tells us is likely anyway. So oh no, the game is totally ruined for you, no point playing it now with the entire story known, I've spoiled everything. BTW, since I'm a dickhead, SAZH DIES.
Actually he doesn't, but since you think I'm a dickhead, I'm gonna act the part.
