Final Fantasy XIII Non-Spoiler Thread

Hmm, I think I can hear it now that you mention it. But I don't know. lol

Sorry, I meant to say I haven't heard much of her voice yet, I have seen that trailer before. Thanks anyway though

And you both have it wrong. She's Jack Sparrow's Australian half-sister, who flies on dragons rather than sails seas. Halfway through the game she's gonna run out of rum, and then she'll REALLY get pissed.

 

[Super Mario]

I'm amused, we're so getting this game me and my cousins.

New trailer with english subtitles, coming right up:

 

[Cthulhu]

Gah. I've only seen part of the trailers, but it looks extremely gay.

New trailer with english subtitles, coming right up:

Oh, finally.

This isn't anything special, but here's a new ad I saw on Youtube. Thought it was pretty cool so...

Anyone know anything about those web novellas, "Episode Zero" or whatever? Are they Japanese only, and has anyone translated them?

All of it should be here.

Awesome, thank you

Gah. I've only seen part of the trailers, but it looks extremely gay.

If by "extremely gay" you mean "extremely awesome," I'd have to agree!

I've avoided watching any trailers or looking at much about the game until now. Seeing as how we've got the final trailer now, I watched it and am very interested in this game.

I definitely want to see more of these characters and their stories.

The atmosphere reminds me of Final Fantasy VIII in a lot of ways -- the synergy between the sci-fi and the more traditional fantasy elements, for instance. The apparent aesthetic similarities between Cocoon and Esthar as well.

Also, though I don't know a lot about it yet and it may be completely wrong, this whole issue with the fal'Cie and l'Cie sounds similar to FFVIII's witches.

That said, there definitely seem to be more plot similarities to FFVII so far. You've got the "female Cloud" with Lightning, the "white Barret" with Snow (complete with his own AVALANCHE-like team), a Shin-Ra analogue, and a Midgar analogue.

Also, did

Spoiler: this scene

(Snow: "We...can see her again, right?"
Lightning: "We can see her for sure..."
...
Snow: "Let's go see her...once we finish this.")

from the trailer remind anyone else of "I think I can meet here...there"?

I also wouldn't be surprised to learn that FFXIII will have some kind of dete mechanics in play. Even FFX had it to a degree, and -- like FFXIII and FFVII -- was the first FF game on a new system.

So I'm eagerly looking forward, for a lot of reasons.

I am ridiculously excited and now find myself unable to bear the 3 month wait.

Maybe Vanille's summon is a new version of Titan? For what I saw he has two arms, the rest are cannons, or so I think.

Since no one seems to have mentioned it, it's Hecatoncheir, which explains all the arms.

Vanille's pose makes my nose bleed.

 

[Cannon_Fodder]

Thanks for that link! Does anybody have any idea what's up with Cid? Or his right hand man?

Vanille's pose makes my nose bleed.

Amen to that.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

Lightning is following in Cloud's footsteps another way - she's getting her own perfume too.

[Super Mario]

here we go again with the perfumes.

 

[Lightning]

What the heck? D:

I wonder what else does it smell....

 

[Cthulhu]

I have found my new calling. I shall create a video game where the lead role is played by a turd. Then make perfume with it.

 

[looneymoon]

I wonder how someone would cosplay that one...

...D:

That'll be a good game to anticipate and wait for.

Vanille's pose makes my nose bleed.

Does it? Odd. It makes blood rush to a different part of my anatomy.

 

[Cthulhu]

Does it? Odd. It makes blood rush to a different part of my anatomy.

But she's skinny. And clothed. And a video game character. And angry. SOOO ANGRY!

 

[ForceStealer]

I've never understood the anime nosebleed thing myself...

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

But she's skinny.

Hey, I said thick chicks were preferred, not mandatory.

And clothed.

I like a little mystery until the time comes to rectify the "clothed" issue. Actually, it's even better if she's wearing clothes that allow business to be taken care of without undressing.

And a video game character.

That is something of an unavoidable problem.

And angry. SOOO ANGRY!

Makes for better sex.
