NEW TRAILER!!!!!

[Tennyo]

Here's that re-cut trailer

Accurate depiction of my reaction while watching this:

 

[Channy]

He does not look sick.

He looks better than me on a really good day. Plenty of people (myself included) have profound black under-eye circles, blanched looking translucent skin, fluorescent veins, lifelessly pale lips, etc. I'm telling you, the guy looks totally normal. Maybe he could use a cup of coffee and a few rays of sunshine, but otherwise - totally normal.

Maybe in real life, but in videogame land, Cloud looks downright sickly. Where's the colour in his cheeks and the steel in his eyes. Dude needs to take a nap and collect himself.

but this is all good off course

Indeed he did. I hope it's an M rated game but I bet it'll be T so it sells more. I'm also curious how they'll do the scene with Mookie. Did I spell that right? Seen too many cookies around here and now I'm confused... ...Mooky? Moo...key..

God damn Pixel, that is frigging awesome. The original trailers bring all the excitement to light but seeing it put together in full like brings all the feels.

 

[Aya Lee]

Pixel! That was amazing!! I watched it twice before commenting here. LOL Oh man... I can't. I can't wait argh... this forum is making the wait so much easier though. YOU ROCK! Love the added sound effects and voices.

 

[e.suna]

Pixel! Amazing, seamless work on the re-cut trailer! It helped me make so much more sense of the scenes from the PSX version.

Mukki, right? I think it was Mukki. Imagining that scene in the remake is making me feel awkward!

I'm sure SE thinks they need to make this game with a T rating to sell more, but do they really? I mean, GTAV was rated M and it sold, like, ALL the units. It made ALL the money. I can't remember exactly how much, but it broke records.

Don't you think the remake would sell great even with an M rating?

 

[Random Nobody]

Actually, the supercut is making me somewhat curious, because compared to the gameplay trailer, the announcement trailer (or at least the NPCs in it) look slightly less deformed. I'm trying to imagine Cloud and his crazed @zz looking bug eyes--or even the AVALANCHE characters--in that crowd and having a hard time doing it. At least not with one or the other looking out of place.

Pero like...is this my eyes?

 

[Flare]

AAAAND Challenge completed. Original photo for comparison. He's definitely pickable and looks like a darling waifu for Corneo.

I know the hair isn't the best, but this was just a rush job okay? Pretend this is the best 'wig' available.

 

[Starling]

I'm pretty sure the sounds in the potion involving the new trailer are a bit distorted, though the video is still pretty enjoyable overall.

 

[Pixel]

Can I post that on facebook?

 

[Flare]

Can I post that on facebook?

You mean the Cloud picture I did? You really want to?! Yeah, go right ahead! Thanks!

I wish I could do a better job, but I really can't spend more time on it right now, I have too many other things I have to be doing with my art time.

 

[Shademp]

Neat video Pixel. As always I enjoy your audio choices. Obviously I don't agree with all the placements of the trailer clips, but you do your own thing. *thumbs up*

Spoiler: O___O

Also, my love for Flare has reached new heights. <3

 

[trash panda]

Ohmaighad that is perfect.

 

[Aya Lee]

Flare... Once again...

Mukki, right? I think it was Mukki. Imagining that scene in the remake is making me feel awkward!

I think it would sell great with an M rating. I just don't know if SE would do it. Are there any Final Fantasy's out with an M rating? I don't really pay attention to/or ever have paid attention to ratings. I guess it could be like the old days with CD's. Artists would put "explicit content" because they sold better lol. Also, Mukki! Thanks for the corrections, guys.

I believe Type-0 ended up with a M rating IIRC.

 

[micknutson9]

I wonder if Yuffie would call Tifa "Boobs" and Cid a "Cranky-legged old man" like she did in the OG, that'd be funny. What would also be funny would be hearing Quentin Flynn and Crispin Freeman discussing who'd they like or the infamous interrogation of Don Corneo, lol!

I believe Type-0 ended up with a M rating IIRC.

Correct, it did have an M rating. Cid and Barret wouldn't be Cid and Barret w/out the language that would make even the most seasoned sailor blush.

 

[Channy]

It's a shame my friend from an FF Merch forum isn't here, because this proves everything I have ever said about Cloud =/= Lightning

 

[Lex]

I know the hair isn't the best, but this was just a rush job okay? Pretend this is the best 'wig' available.

Fucking absolute sheer and utter perfection!

 

[Random Nobody]

Tru but Lightning's face has been redesigned 4.5 trillion times. Comparing how she looked in her 2006 announcement trailer (or even just in FFXIII proper) to how she looks in the FFXIII-3, she's nearly unrecognisable.

 

[micknutson9]

It's a shame my friend from an FF Merch forum isn't here, because this proves everything I have ever said about Cloud =/= Lightning

Especially when Lightning was considered to be a female version of Cloud in both looks and attitude and the fact that she's the same height and age as him. Heck... They could practically be considered twins if you put them side by side.

 

[Claymore]

Awesome work, Pixel.

. . . *slowly raises hand*

I have a confession.

I never played any of the XIII games soley for this fact. Cloud has been my favorite character (along with Zack) since '97 and when I read an article that said Nomura or someone straight out said that about Lightning back in the day when she first arrived on the scene it majorly turned me off to this particular game/series. It was like a sell out to Cloud's success as a character. "Oh, let's make XIII as popular as VII because it'll be like the remake no one ever knew they wanted!"

I dunno. Maybe I'm wrong and too judgmental. It's not Lightning's fault. She was born that way. But still. I think XIII would've been a stronger game/series if the main character was her own person in appearance lol. Not a confessed knock off. I'm wrong, maybe, but dammit. It's the t-truth.... *sobs*

 

[RedFFWolf]

Dear Flare,

Besides your picture being utterly divine, I find you are dangerously powerful.
I fear you as much as I love you.

Love, RedFFWolf
(You know, that guy who is unphotoshopable)


Also, nice job on the video, Pixel. I hope you get sleep, you know.

 

[Wolf_]

I'm the opposite Aya. I heard about the comparison and bought it on that basis. Cloud is my fave character and I am a man, so Cloud with boobs was always going to be a winner for me. The game itself is flawed but it doesn't deserve half of the stick it gets. Everyone (but me) loves ff10 yet it's just as linear and a hate the story. That and I think it's now 'cool' to hate it. Like everyone jumps on call of duty yet it always sells every year. What I will say is they overcompensate when listening to the fans. 1 was too linear so they made 2 a big world jumping mess and 3 was different again.

I hope in the remake the 'winning dress' is a pink wig and midnight mauve.

 

[Splintered]

I'm still of the mind that though Lightning was initially based off of him, she has more n common with Ashe or Squall than Cloud. In fact, she was originally more flirty until they transferred those traits to Fang. But I'm weird and like Lightning (at least og Lightning) more than Cloud.

 

[Soakette]

I know you guys are talking about lightening and cloud right now but... I just have to say that:

This trailer made me really happy BUT I couldnt give two shits about Avalanche (maybe except for biggs because omg hes so hot). I am hoping maybe the next trailer can focus on the Shinra side. I would love to see what President Shinra looks like, hear his voice and of course Reno and Rude. I am also really excited about more Elena and maybe more Turk and Shinra scenes in the game, and MAYBE some back story on Reno and Rude and how they came into being turks (maybe wishful thinking on that?).

P.S. The multiple epsiode/parts shit blows hardcore big black cock
P.S.S Good to be back reading all of your wonderful opinions.

People always made way too much of that remark. I would wager that kind of thing happens all the time when a character designer is given an idea for a direction to take a design, "A female x," "A male y," "A hispanic z." People flipped the hell out for no reason because...that's what the FF fanbase does. Cloud and Lightning only look alike inasmuch as every other Nomura character does.

And, as Splintered observes, she doesn't act like Cloud at all.
