FFXIII

This game looks amazing, i just wiki'd it after looking at Jax's siggy multiple times.


Lighting, refer to my avi for pic.

Final Fantasy XIII's lead character appears as a strong, independent young woman with strawberry blonde hair. She uses the codename "Lightning" to hide her true identity. She was chosen by one of the crystals - though it is unknown which - to destroy Cocoon.[10]

The two yellow stripes on Lightning's left shoulder symbolize her rank and social status.[citation needed] Her weapon can be transformed between a sword and a firearm at will. Lightning is able to use gravity as a tool and weapon, for instance, throwing a small 'gravity bomb' to disable enemies at the start of a battle; indeed, during battle, she seems to be able to defy gravity, almost levitating.

Character designer Tetsuya Nomura was asked to create a "female version of Cloud from Final Fantasy VII", and has described her as "not very feminine".

Only character i really like atm, but srsly this game looks epic.

XIII's story isn't as interesting for me as what Versus XIII looks to be. It might just be me, but I prefer a 'darker' theme. ;] The lead in that is a sexy ma'fuxr too.



That being said, being a FF fanboy since the NES, I will most likely be purchasing both games for PS3.

I didn't really read up on it much.
Just saw Jax's avi and googled it.
Saw Thunder and was amazed at the graphics.
But yeah that guys fuckin sick looking.
GRAPHICS ARE RIDICULOUS.

They sure are; in-game and FMV graphics are as close as they've ever been. I'm lookign forward to such eye-candy. /drool

Also, I believe there is another FF mobile game, called Agito XIII, so I think it's basically a triplet game.

Square Enix is amazing.
Always have top of the line GFX.
But i hope FFXIII releases for PSP, or PC.
Or i get a PS3 before it comes out.

Haha, I look at FFXII and FFXIII after playing VII and VII.

I miss the good ol' days of square, 3d pixel graphics.

Farthest I've played is X-2 (Wasted my life).

Too poor to get anything past XII; I can bum off a friend.

How have XII and XIII been so far?

[Snakebite]

I prefer the new ones.
I have Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy Tactics, both the first ones, just isn't that great.
But Lightning is supposed to be a female equivalent to Cloud so it should be similar?

I loved XII; Ivalice is my favourite world setting. I remember reading the mags back when FFVII came out, those graphics were breakthrough technology for that era. ;]

I could bum XII off a friend, but haven't gotten around to. o3o

Breakthrough technology FTW.

Eh, I just compare and contrast graphics now and then, and it makes me kind of sad. :(

I feel your pain, zombii. I just finished Assasins Creed and put on VIII straight after and nearly cried when I compared the graphically differences between those two
But then again, given the available technology (ps1 vs ps3) between those games and I have to admit, the Square team did try to do their best

Back to FFXIII, the pics that I have seen so far look amazing! I hope that the storyline in XIIIis as absorbing as it was in VII, so far none of the others can beat VII in that regard.
