Square-Enix Final Fantasy XIII: Fabula Nova Chrystallis

...

 

NEW FFXIII TRAILER plus FFXIII Websites

EDIT: You can now access the sites for FFXIII in any country. =D Plus there's a new trailer and from what I can tell (the Japanese one since the American and European ones seem to not work with me >:[) there are two new characters' faces and possible names revealed:

Gadou
Repuro
(Though, they might just be Guard and something else military-esque)

Don't know which one is which but seems interesting. Voices are (finally) added in as well so feel free to post up some names of seiyuus that might sound like it. Seems like the trailer from Jump Festa too. Check out the websites below.

Wow, a countdown timer? They are finally getting serious. Thanks Anixe!

 

Updated first post with new trailer information regarding characters. Other translations upcoming welcome. =]

 

Alright, after seeing that trailer, with all the gameplay, this game suddenly looks about 20 times better.

 

...Ok, I have to admit.

It's getting harder and harder to appreciate this game. Just...I dunno, the character designs are just inexcusably godawful and the character impressions themselves aren't exactly helping either. All of the info released thus far, giving us any feedback of a general feel of them, have done very little to impress me. A bloody baby chocobo living in an afro? A main character designed just so FF7 fanboys can fap to Cloud and not feel gay? A generic animu blond wank who strives "to protect" or what-the-hell-ever-that-was? A RED HEAD? (Nah, I'm just kidding.) Really, I don't know what to make of all this.

If I didn't know and wasn't so skeptic of Nomura's mediocre direction work, I would be salivating all over Versus. Despite next to no info being filed out in its respect, I do at least have a general solid feel of the atmosphere, the characters and the direction its heading, even in terms of gameplay (which wasn't something we could've said for XIII moments back /: ). There's at least some unified ambiance in Versus which XIII completely lacks. At every bit of info released for XIII, it's like watching a stoner trying to mix himself a stew by adding all sorts of wtf ingredients which by gastronomy laws, just do not mix.

Then again these are just bits of info which reveal very little. I'll still be getting the game regardless - hell, this is the first time I'm following up on a main FF title and I only just started doing so last year. Whenever I knew of a new title it was when I just so happeend to see it on the store's shelves xD - so I'll just kinda wait and take this info with a grain of salt.

Though it should be said that the gameplay is looking like 78 kinds of awesome - if someone could translate those menus, that'd be great.

 

Well personally I think this is awesome not only because of the Nigra with the chocobo in his afro or the possibility of Vanilla and Lightning being lesbians but the overall furturistic setting of the game reminds of me of Final Fantasy VIII which I think had a terrific atmosphere going on.

Gameplay wise, it looks a bit like a button masher.

Where are you buyin' it from?

 

It's a demo track that's part of the FFVII ACC package (in Japan).

Anyway, I'm tempted to say that it looks really cool so far. Unfortunately I won't be getting my hands on it itself but I'm a visual learner so it should be fine just watching vids on Youtube and what-not. Now S-E needs to release some Versus XIII battle screens, then I'm set.

It looks good so far, interesting to know the European version is being worked on now, which means the North American version is also being worked on now.

 

Anyone knows where I can find cool FFXIII and FFvsXIII pictures?

 

Sorry I didn't post earlier....:sorry:

I heard about this but to me I don't really care about japanese voices.

 

They might not have Japanese audio on PS3 since they probably would want to make both versions have the same content. But it would be great hearing the Japanese voices, I didn't really like Tidus' voice.

This looks epic, and has more footage than even what we've seen from the Japanese trailers!
