Final Fantasy XIII

Archive: 79 posts

Yeah, after all that time...

Anyway,

http://www.vg247.com/2009/08/20/ffxiii-story-to-last-around-50-hours-new-characters-announced/

50 hours for main quest... Yay.

And they're TRYING to get the 360 version to be 3 discs D:

And they're 90% done PS3 version, 70% 360.

But they're going for simultaneous release, so PS3 will have to wait.

And... yeah. I've been wanting a good RPG for PS3, and soon I may has one D: Yay!

Spring 2010. Yep. >_<		2009-08-20 15:37:00

Spring '010?!?! I graduate in '010! Anyway, I'm so super, super pumped for this game, it's crazy. One, because I have a Final Fantasy problem. Two, because every time I see those amazing graphics I cry a little bit (in a good way). Three, because we really NEED a good RPG on PS3.

Also, 50 hours is pretty decent for a FF game. Plus with sidequests, I'm sure this will be at least 150 hours.

Also also, reading the article it sounded like we might get both language tracks on the game. How awesome would it be to finally play FF in the language it was meant to be played in?		2009-08-20 15:38:00

So it's still spring 2010, not a problem with me. They always guessed it would be released around spring 2010, and that guess might be accurate after all.

Almost time to prepare for another 300+ hours of maxing everything out and perfect completion. I too have a FF problem, lol. Also, am I the only one that ever wonders what the new super boss (possibly plural) will be like? I mean sure, everything else is more important like story and gameplay, but us masachist RPGers always wonder about that.		2009-08-20 22:13:00

I played FFX, didn't finish...played FFXII, didn't finish...and that's when I finally realized after years of wasting money on unfinished games, that I don't like RPGs. Except Kingdom Hearts. So yeah, this is a miss for me.2009-08-20 22:20:00

Lol bad habit.
Still not sure, I might want to know how long the side quest total hours first before I buy it.

FFXII had good side quests!		2009-08-21 02:14:00

I have long-since grown weary of Final Fantasy's character designs. FFXII probably had the most well executed concepts since FFIX, which is a sorry state of affairs. 2009-08-21 12:17:00

At the moment, I am playing Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy IV (DS remake), Final Fantasy VII (PSN FTW), and Final Fantasy X. Granted I haven't played X in a while, but there you go.

Yes, you right, but in japanese language, V=B, and in french they keep this for the translation of the name (an oral translation). It is realistic when compared with japanese names, but, BiBi is not a really good sound in french (as Djidane in fact, since one of our most french football player was called Zinedine Zidane, there was a lot of people laughing about these names in france) 2009-08-22 10:20:00

Hades was a piece of **** to defeat, Quina's trainer I think I defeated but its been a long time and Ozma was a cheap **** but the right stratagy could see you through it, I remember grinding grand dragons outside the grotto for levels and powering up one of freyas moves to 9999.		2009-08-22 12:48:00

Yep. If I'd done this 9 years ago I would've found the best grinding spots myself but I couldn't be bothered this time so I read about the grand dragons outside Gizamaouk's (whatever) grotto. Gotta find auto-regen for Steiner. Leveling him and Zidane together.2009-08-22 13:01:00

Final Fantasy IX brings back memories. Use to be my favorite FF until I played FFVI Advance version. To this day FFIX has one of the best stories around and Vivi is still my favorite character from the series.

So many good and bad about certain titles. FFXII for example had a dull story and dull characters overall, but the in-your-face boss battles, side quests, and battle system (including gambits) were great, which I never understood why some say gambits ruin the game when you can always turn gambits off and not use them, but FFXII had the realism.

FFXI was online only, nuff said about that.

FFX had excellent story and character development, and though the sphere grid turned some away, I liked the sphere grid. I even went as far as to completely uproot the grid and make each part of the grid all one stat which is how I maxed stats on everyone, so all of the strenght boosts would be in one part of grid in an even enough amount to raise everyones stats to max and so on with each part of grid and the other stats.		2009-08-22 14:10:00

FFVI.... Wow, i remember it was my first play on a FF.
It was on a SuperNintendo and the game was an import from US (the game has never been release in europe!!!). One of my most exciting moment of videogames. Remember this crazy scene at the opera at the start of the game. And the characters that travel in small group... Trully Epic game!		2009-08-22 15:20:00

My first FF was X (while we're reminiscing, here) and I loved it. Still do, honestly. I really want to play some of the older FFs, but I don't know where to find them. I mean, sure III and IV have DS remakes, but where would I look to find something like VIII or IX? Plus, even though there are lots of remakes for like I and II, I can't find them anywhere. They must be old enough that most places don't have them anymore.2009-08-22 16:16:00

Well I went to check out if I could scan Hades for fun to see what he carried. I never expected to beat him in 2-3 minutes. Zidane and Steiner roughly level 85 and Aramant and Eiko at 60ish. No tricks. Just pwntzor'd him. 1 down. 2 to go. I also have to say after playing FF6 advance very recently it's absolutely epic for its time. Might have to steal the crown from FF7 and give it to 6. It's just awesome.2009-08-22 16:41:00

I tried the SNES FF games back in the early 90's on the SNES emulators. When 7 came out in 1997 I played the ------------- out of it. Since then I never finished the end-game bosses in the later games but I just recently killed them all in FF9. I think it's time for me to go crazy again and keeeeel this game.2009-09-08 17:21:00

I second this, Final Fantasy is 1 of only a handful of games out there that is eaily worth $100. After all my original PS FFs were stolen (VII, VIII, and IX, not Tactics or others) I bought them all again and paid around $100 for VII alone, of course). Even new it'd be worth it. So me shelling out the money for both of the XIII games (there's actullay 3 as one is for cell phone but no technology can handle it yet) is easily worth it, plus I because I am a FF famatic, I also buy the strategy guides for collector's purposes. 		2009-09-08 23:26:00

I love how Square is desperately trying to raise awareness for Agito XIII, but no one cares about it. The imminent release of XIII has overshadowed it, and once it's out, all the talk will be about Vs XIII, so yeah.

On the $100 topic, if you think about it, you're really only paying about $2 per hour of the main storyline. Add in the crapload of sidequests, and you're paying $1 or less per hour of game. Plus, if you replay it, the price goes down even more. This is how I justify spending so much on games like Final Fantasy when I won't spend money to buy games like Batman. More bang for your buck, so to speak.		2009-09-09 21:08:00

I know what you mean. I don't play cell phone games, and could care less about them, although it does make me curious how something like that would turn out. On one hand I think Square Enix is waisting their time on a cell phone game of that magnetude, but on one hand it could be a revolution of cell phone games. Square's desperation doesn't surprise me as they are always trying to touch and experiment with everything market-wise. This experimentation is also the result of some of their failures, but also some successes. I do respect them trying new things, but then . . . I don't know what to think, lol. It's true though, that all the attention will be on vs XIII and XIII.

An example of their well known experimentation is the release of 2 games (I don't count the cell game) for the same story which XIII is. That's somewhat revolutionary. X and X-2, that was just the original and the sequal. But for XIII, they are both intertwined as one game released as two, which I think is interesting. And how both play differently, and one will be a KH style one battle wise, while the other FF style play wise. The fact that I love KH and FF makes me even more curious as to how the creator of KH would do a FF.		2009-09-11 03:20:00

I'm a long-time huge Final Fantasy nut too. I actually found XII to be pretty awesome in nearly every way. I was a bit disappointed that the story didn't have more "big events" - nothing really HAPPENS in that game until the end, the game mainly consists of going from point A to B, from B to C, and along the way you witness fantasy political intrigue and melodrama. It was very entertaining, but compare this to VI and VII.

Halfway through FF VI, the WORLD IS DESTROYED! Who isn't bowled over when this happens? The rest of the ENTIRE GAME, that's over 20 hours, is spent in a ruined, wasted world. Mindblowing. An epic fantasy game where you have to save the world, and halfway through you FAIL and the rest of the game is about salvaging humanity from the ruin. I thought it was genius.

VII is just packed with huge twists and turns. We all remember Aeris, but the whole game is a constantly-evolving series of major twists and setpieces. Who can forget the awakening of the WEAPONs for example?

XII in comparison was, storywise at least, small potatoes. It was much more focused on character and political melodrama. Which, again, was entertaining, but I kept waiting for those big events, and nothing happened until the very end, when the excitement suddenly came.

That was also an interesting FF entry because it's quite a while before it gets WEIRD. You think for quite a while there that this might be a straight-forward story! No weird stuff about ghost possession, genetic experiments, phantom planets, etc... but they couldn't help themselves and eventually it, too, starts getting freaking weird as well.

I admit I'm no fan of this j-pop sci-fi anime direction. I prefer the classic fantasy settings of IV, V, IX and XII, and the steampunk-fantasy of VI and VII (the original game VII, not the movies or recent spin-offs! *shudder*). This still looks like an amazingly promising game with some exciting concepts - I can't tell you how much I love the whole "Cocoon" thing - and did anyone else think "MIDGAR!" when they learned about Cocoon and Pulse?

I'm pretty excited. We need some good new RPGs, they've just disappeared off the scene in recent years. It's first person shooter, open-world shooter, over the shoulder shooter, co-op shooter, run and gun shooter, online team shooter, world war ii shooter, etc etc etc. Good lord, we need FF XIII BAD right now!!

Remember the PS-one? There were so many unbelievably amazing RPGs on that system it BOGGLES THE MIND.		2009-09-11 05:40:00

Remember the PS-one? There were so many unbelievably amazing RPGs on that system it BOGGLES THE MIND.

Good times. Good memories. And yes, story wise, VI and VII are genius. But so is X. FFX had the best story since VI and VII. I mean it doesn't get anymore genius than the concept of Sin and the relation between that and Tidus, and the summoners' purpose, and the cycle repeats and so on. That is crazy stuff. Definitly far from the usual cliche boring stories that most RPG developers can't seem to stray from.

As for FFXII, it is an excellent game in every way except the story as you mentioned. The story was pretty bad compared to what you usually see in a FF. But what I really loved about FFXII was the in-your-face boss battles and large scale dungeons. If any console RPGs has epic bosses, it's FFXII, and dungeons also as who can forget The Great Crystal (in its entirety). The way the new combat system worked and the gambits played out wonderfully.

And there have been some good RPGs since the original PS, a lot actually, like Star Ocean: Till The End of Time, Rogue Galaxy, Kingdom Hearts I & II, Dark Cloud and DC2, Dragon Quest VIII, Disgaea (series), plus the DS remakes of older FFs and remakes of older Dragon Quests, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Valkyrie Profile 2, and the list goes on. PS2 was just as good as the original for RPGs. But in the current console war, RPGs aren't as common. It's kind of weird for the genre right now. The DS/Advance has a large assortment of good RPGs, mainly with the remakes, plus new ones like Square's The World Ends With You.

FFXIII's new battle system really sounds interesting also, and how everything you do takes up a certain amount of this gauge. Example would be if the gauge has 3 whatever points, a basic attack might cost 1 point, while so and so spell might cost 2, so you could use both in same turn which would take up entire gauge, or you can just choose to use one command or however many you have enough for. Either way, I can't wait for XIII.		2009-09-11 18:59:00

FFX has simply one of the best stories I've ever seen in a video game. I nearly cried at the end, and I don't cry at stuff. Ever. I just wanted to throw it out there. I don't think I could find flaws with it if I wanted to (which I don't). People complain about Tidus being whiny and all that, but I'm not sure I'd do much better in the situation. And he really does progress as the game goes on. (It's funny that I'm using the same arguments FOR Tidus that I've seen used against me when I'm bashing Roxas, really...)

As for XII, I just couldn't get into it, you know? I made it... maybe 10 or 12 hours into the game, I don't remember, but it was just after I had gotten the first Esper (wicked hard fight, by the way) and I just stopped. And it wasn't even the battle system, like I hear so often. I didn't mind that. I think it was the story. It was pretty boring and not much seemed to happen, ever. Plus the fact that the "main character" isn't really the main character is pretty whack. (And speaking of whack, have you seen his abs? *shudders*)		2009-09-12 16:23:00

Actually, i have to agree that FFX had an unusual story that for the most part avoided cliches. I mean, the whole concept of Sin and the Great Calm was amazing, the stuff that really cool dreams (or the BEST nightmares) are made of. And I'm a sucker for unimaginably giant creatures in any story, and Sin just about took the all-time cake for giant beasty.

that said, some of the characterizations were a bit comical for me. Namely Tidus and Wakka. My friend and I, when we played that game together had a number of ongoing jokes. For example, the fact that at ANY save point you have the option to play a blitzball game if you want - well, needless to say, there are some save points that are located at HORRIBLY inappropriate times story-wise for a game of blitzball. But Wakka...

So our joke is that, even as people are dying and sobbing, and lives are being ruined, Wakka says "Anyone want to play a little blitz-bawl?"
Awkward silence.
Tidus: "I'm up!"

Our other running gag was how Tidus referred to Sin after learning what it really is. Spoilers below.

*Gigantic bloblike creature the size of a mountain comes roaring toward Tidus*
"Time to settle the score... DAD!!!"

That was just endlessly funny to us. So we had all sorts of jokes about people seeing Sin coming and screaming "What the hell is that giant thing???"
Tidus: "Oh, that's my dad. Don't worry he's cool."

But even with the yuk-yuks, FFX handled the death theme really well, and there was a dreamlike quality to the story that's hard to pin down.

And it's true that the DS seems to be the place to be for RPGs now! You just don't see many rpgs this generation, it's such a shame. The SNES, the PS one, and the PS2 were all filled to the rafters with awesome RPGs. Now we get Fallout 3, Oblivion, Blue Dragon, and Eternal Sonata. That's about the extent of it. There are a few others, but it's scattershot. You can pretty much count them on your fingers.

Anyway, where was I?
Oh yeah. Anyone up for some blitzball?		2009-09-16 00:11:00

They did delay Brawl around the one-month mark. I almost killed someone that time...

Aaanyway, I agree with what Teebonesy had to say about FFX. There were some times that stuff just didn't fit, but they did avoid most RPG cliches quite well. Plus, fun fact, I bet you never even noticed, but they never say Tidus' name once, due to you being able to change it. I went for years before realising that. I think it's because the writing just sounds so natural, you're never thinking "Why don't they just call him Tidus?" Also, I have to ask, how do you pronounce Tidus? Cos I know the right way (Dissidia told me) and I was wondering what the general consensus is.		2009-09-18 17:52:00

Plus, fun fact, I bet you never even noticed, but they never say Tidus' name once, due to you being able to change it. I went for years before realising that. I think it's because the writing just sounds so natural, you're never thinking "Why don't they just call him Tidus?" Also, I have to ask, how do you pronounce Tidus? Cos I know the right way (Dissidia told me) and I was wondering what the general consensus is.

Tidus is pronounced 'Tee-dus' I've known this for a long time. It even says it on the bonus disc that comes with FFXII Collector's Edition, which was of course the version I got when XII came out, and the Collector's Edition guide which came with a really neat art book.		2009-09-19 04:47:00

and all this time I thought it was pronounced Tie-dus. Wow, fail on me. I think it's time to re-evaluate my life...what else have I been wrong about throughtout these years???		2009-09-19 05:08:00

I've always said it Tee-dus, too. I got the official pronunciation from Dissidia, but I was really surprised to see how many people said Tie-dus. It boggles the mind.2009-09-20 15:20:00

I never played it, but I called him Tie des in Kingdom Hearts <_>. However, it was Tee des in Kingdom Hearts 2, which sounded weird :/2009-09-20 15:29:00

No, they said it Tee-dus in KH1, but Tie-dus in KH2. Much confusion ensued.2009-09-20 15:43:00

This is much the same as people that don't know how to pronounce Bahamut.2009-09-21 17:46:00

Buh-Ha-Mut. End of discussion. But, seriously, people argue about how to say that?

Unless, of course, it's Buh-Ha-Moot. Could be a possibility, I guess. But I'm leaning towards the first one.		2009-09-21 20:25:00

Yes people still argue that. It is the most overly discussed debate of any of the FF pronounciations. The first pronounciation you mentioned is the most commonly used one by those that do not know how to pronounce it.

The second one was closer. It's pronounced Ba-ha-moot. I will be including the mythology/origin of this creature in one of my blogs here, which I've had written down as the first mythology in gaming blog I'll be doing, which my blogs are always alive, with images. 		2009-09-22 12:12:00

Ba-ha-moot, huh? Short "a" sound both times? I never considered that possibility.

I'm still trying to figure out why it's weird to pronounce Ultimecia as Ul-ta-mee-shuh. I mean, how else could it be said? It's spelled like the name Felicia, which is pronounced the same way...		2009-09-22 20:28:00

Rock, you're in for a great experience with FFX. Just be sure to read the Sphere Grid tutorial... Twice. Trust me, you'll save yourself much time and frustration later if you know what you're doing.2009-09-24 01:41:00

I'll save yourself the trouble.

Whenever you have points to spend on the sphere grid, just sort of wiggle the control stick around really fast while tapping the X button.

After a minute or so, you'll probably learn a new spell or something.

This is the way they did it in ancient times.		2009-09-24 02:04:00

I'd say... am going through that canyon to see Seynour and his project to fight Sin or whatever... Then died right before the Save point. gah, need to do over

Anyway... I read the Sphere Grid tutorial once... but yeah, I love that sphere grid D:		2009-09-24 02:11:00

This is the way they did it in ancient times.That... could end badly. See, first time I played the game, I didn't know you have to use spheres on the grid (don't know why, since it's the Sphere Grid...) and I thought that just activating the nodes by moving over them learned new skills and stats and what have you. I don't know why I thought this. So, anyway, I made it almost to Sinspawn Gui before I looked at something and said to myself "UR DOIN IT RONG!" So, then, I had to start over. Let me tell you something: Those guys who do NSG challenges are insane!		2009-09-24 22:33:00

I have a feeling that FFXIII could surpass FFX just because of the sheer amount of game they can fit on a BluRay. I mean, think about it: FFX and FFXII had some rather large environments (well, mostly XII) but think how much bigger they could be. I dunno, I just have a really good feeling about this game. I think it'll end up being amazing. Or maybe that's hope?2009-09-25 22:24:00

I definitely have high hopes for XIII. XII was very... meh, but it never looked very amazing in the first place. XIII will surpass all of them.

Also, VI is the greatest Final Fantasy. Deal with it.		2009-09-25 23:24:00

That's because VI had Kefka, didn't it? I've actually heard that V was really great, because it had Gilgamesh and lots of lulz. Of the ones that I've played, (I, III, IV, VII, X, XII) I'd have to say that III is the best so far. I've only ever beaten X, though, so I can't say for sure.2009-09-26 01:27:00

VI is the best because of the incredible, incredible, sprawling story, art direction, and extensive cast of interesting characters. It's a hopeful, tragic, operatic masterpiece. I'm with Xenifus. While there are other great FFs, none of them match up to VI, the grand-daddy epic to end them all.2009-09-26 19:33:00

Everyone here heard about Square's choice for a main theme? It's some Leona Lewis song or something. The FFXIII board at GameFAQs is about ready to kill everyone at Square because of it, and this is after months of complaining about Jpop. Personally, I don't care. I mean, lots of people thought Otherworld wouldn't fit in FFX, but it totally works. I think this is gonna end up being the same scenario.2009-11-15 14:58:00

I can sort of see how it could be used as a theme tune but i'm sure they could of done better than that.

I wish they'd stick to using their own composers for stuff like this.		2009-11-15 15:32:00

Yes, FFXIII should be good... FFXII wasn't as appealing, and the combat system, I hated it, reminds me of generic MMORPGS, and even though FFXIII isn't turn based it looks much better and more fun, man I miss the FFX combat system...

by the way I was so angry when I found out we (PS3 users) had to wait for the freaking Xbox360 version... I felt like Ezio when his father was killed (I'LL KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!) lol...and what about FFXIII versus?		2009-11-27 06:03:00
