Final Fantasy XIII-2 information and hype thread!

Random ass town? you were clearly not paying attention to the story if you're calling it a random ass town. If you were paying attention he wasn't even poisoning a town he was poisoning doma castle and you didn't realize it was the only military power strong enough to take on kefka by itself. So to get it out of the way he poisoned the water and killed almost everyone which he didn't count on anyone surviving much less the greatest swordsman in doma. Clearly doma WAS important and not random.
Also I didn't care for FF8 much, The gameplay with monsters leveling up with you was retarded and the whole love story thing was lame.

You clearly don't understand that i don't give a crap. Get over your love of FF6, it wasn't as good as you think it is. I liked 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 10-2. and 13 all more then FF6. Again, it's still just some random town, in FF5, and 7, people you were traveling with get killed off. Kefka is a stupid clown, FF6 wasn't the best FF. I liked 13 more,

Deal
With
It

FF7 only 1 person gets killed, And she was a shitty character anyway so who gives a fuck. Also who dies in FF5? Oh right Galuf...

 

[machomuu]

OK, first, Sylar, respect other peoples' opinions. Just because you didn't like FF6 doesn't mean that it wasn't that good.

Uno, respect other peoples' opinions. Jus because you didn't like FFXIII doesn't mean that it wasn't that good.

Now can we get back on topic?

 

[UnoAphex]

what's the point of the internet if you can't argue with people? I rather enjoy my time arguing with people, Makes me excited on the amounts of profanity I can use. ha ha ha. Like how many times i can say fuck in a sentence. I always say if you don't like profanity and arguing gtfo the internet and read a book.

Well this argument isn't on topic. While it does deal with Final Fantasy, it has nothing to do with Final Fantasy XIII.

You guys are really feeding the troll here.

Cool that will be something to look forward too. It's not a bad game just not what I'm used to. With the amount of emotion floating around in this forum it must be pretty good and leave a lasting impression, If it didn't nobody would give a fuck.The game gets open but not what you'd expect. You've got 64 missions and a fairly large (and repetitive) field to explore but you can skip it all together and get back to the corridors.

The battles does feel like a chore during the first five or so chapters but like most Final Fantasy games, battles become more better once you've leveled up a few times, got some new skills and strategies.

Though, I'd recommend at least waiting until Chapter 12 (hell you might as well complete the game at this point). You said your kid loves the fights and graphics, right? He'll love the opening to this chapter

Overall, I can understand the hate from Final Fantasy fans but they are really unfair towards it, they want an old school Final Fantasy and they keep comparing it to them, this is not that and Square Enix has said something similar which might change your mind about it.KitaseWe think many reviewers are looking at Final Fantasy XIII from a western point of view. When you look at most Western RPGs, they just dump you in a big open world, and let you do whatever you like... [It] becomes very difficult to tell a compelling story when you're given that much freedom.

I think people are just bawwing because there isn't that much one would notice on the surface to indicate that it were a Final Fantasy title. I mean, they could technically put another name on it and no one would notice.

That said, I didn't care. Final Fantasy is (mostly) an Anthology, in Story and now gameplay-wise. I treated it like a new game and that sweetened the experience.

Okay, think of it this way. Take a series like Fable right. It was awesome to begin with and the way everything was, was just perfect. You gained experience depending on what you did sorta like oblivion but not like oblivion in many other ways. Then of course Fable 2 was released and it was a step up a bit from the last one giving you more room to explore and decisions to make plus multiple player support. Very cool In my opinion. Then they change the dynamics completely with the third game knowing the whole point of why most people like the previous game was the mechanics. Which they did a complete overhaul and now the fable series is official dead to me. Now let's associate this with a game series like Final Fantasy. For any final fantasy fan who's been playing since the very beginning most of us came to expect something better with the next game, Not a complete change just some new additions a new story and so on. But of course what they did was change it so much so that in my opinion should either stop the series or call it something different. Final fantasy died to me around FF9, and much of the spin off games weren't that great but at least respectable enough to have a different subtext to the game for example, dirge of Cerberus wasn't a final fantasy game it played more like Devil May cry however at least they had the decency to slap a subtext title implying the game wouldn't be anything like final fantasy, same with FF Tactics, and so on and so on. So why let a game carry a legendary title such as Final Fantasy when the game dynamics have changed so much so that it's not even a final fantasy anymore. give it a new name.. anything. I argue because things like a FF13-2 "hype" threads offend the shit out of me. It's not simply that I'm mad I'm genuinely offended that this kinda thing could be passed off as a new final fantasy game. I wouldn't be so pissed off if they just called it something different.

Hey UnoAphex, you might want to know this

Final Fantasy is a media franchise created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, and is developed and owned by Square Enix (formerly Square). The franchise centers on a series of fantasy and science-fantasy role-playing video games

Final Fantasy XIII is fantasy, right?
Final Fantasy XIII is an RPG, right?
That pretty much describes a Final Fantasy title, not how it's not like the other games.

Deal the shit out of it and shut up.

 

[UnoAphex]

so I should just be happy that the final fantasy titles have not been good since 9? Awesome. and I also shouldn't be offended that my favorite series has gone all to shit. Yeah sure I'll just accept that society is accepting shitty games as good ones when the series beforehand was so much more vibrant and less contrived and retarded as this set of games. Final Fantasy 13 is a Mock RPG. I wouldn't go as far as calling it an RPG but more like an action game with RPG elements. The Square-enix merger also killed them. I refuse to call them Square-enix. Cause enix by themselves was a great company and Squaresoft by themselves was a great company. Then they merged and life was never the same, and the only worth while final fantasy they made was 9. I also don't know what you mean by the word "fantasy" cause this sure aint no fantasy I've ever had. Also I know who created the series, I'm not an invalid. I've only been playing since FF1, you don't think I ever studied up on the creators of the game. It -was- my favorite series.

I'll say it again for good measure too,

Final Fantasy 13, is NOT An RPG. Case closed.

I'm guessing (and probably correct) that you do not class FF12 as an RPG, right?

Welp, just because a character doesn't stand there in one spot all through the battle doesn't mean it's not an RPG.

Anyway, you've pretty much derailed this thread with your ignorance, nice going jackass. If you don't like the game, simply don't post (or even better don't read the thread).

Okay, you went from stating an opinion to just being wrong. Please stop.

is true is not a rpg

 

[Nujui]

Just ignore him, this thread it's getting more and more derailed.

 

[DarkStriker]

I like Serah more than Lightning =) She looks hotter & cuter

Putting that aside, is the game going to be a 2man team? Well that would suck if it were. Right i still have to finish FFXIII. But the game is so damn linear and boring >.

In an interview with the magazine, producer Yoshinori Kitase and director Motomu Toriyama said that Snow and Serah lived together in the two years after the events of FFXIII-2. However, they're not married.

Say hi to Noel and goodbye to Snow.

They also touched upon the recently revealed Kaias character, calling him the strongest enemy in Final Fantasy series history.

He looks like he just jumped out of one of Yuna's FFX-2 concerts.

Square Enix has been slowly announcing download content for the game. There may be more to the DLC than just handing over your money, though. As an example, the two said to picture something where you get the new items after defeating newly added enemies.

Outside of the interview, the magazine has information on the game's monster calling system, whose Japanese name translates to Summon Raid (I'm not sure if this is the English name). Some enemies will turn to crystal form after you defeat them. This means that you've captured them. You can then place them in a deck with other monsters.

Awesome new trailer:

I'm a bit skeptical of the monster catching ability as teammates (seeing as how that idea is never successful IMO) but I am very excited for the time change system they are implementing.

The SMT series would like a word with you sir.

Other than that, trailer is fucking awesome
