Final Fantasy 13 Hype Thread?

Hay maybe I'll import the international version eventually then since it'll be region free.
 
considering it is on a blu ray maybe it'll have the english voices on it too for Japan :P though I doubt it, that'd be nice. But I'd still want the menus in English too. Though ya, maybe I should wait for the inevitable international or final mix or whatever they call it version since it's always the better one and ONLY in Japan cause it's retarded -_-

Well I was just gonna get the NA version and then the international later since waiting for the international would be so much longer :P
 
Seeing as how the gap between JP and US/EU release dates is about 2/3rds shorter than FFXII's was, I have no problem waiting.

True, waiting does suck, but I never get the international/final mix versions anyways. But I dunno, maybe I'll wait, though I doubt it.
 
I know this was asked x100 but does anyone know if the JP version offers english subtitles? If so, I'll want it.

After watching Anime for the past year I've really come to realize that JP products are better in Japanese.
 
More likely than not, no.
As for international versions, those usually come in "english VA with JP subtitle" flavors, because a lot of japanese nerds get a boner over English stuff (sounds... awfully familiar.)
 
Ew they have anglophiles over there? And I thought japanophiles were bad

I don't normally get them because ps1 and ps2 games are not region free. Ps3 are so I can import without problems.
 
Final Japanese FF13 trailer coming November 25th, hopefully unveiling Vanille's summon and if any other playable characters.

"Final Fantasy XIII's Monsters Fight Amongst Themselves
Latest on Gran Pulse and the new mission system.
Posted Nov 22, 2009 at 14:54, by Anoop Gantayat

Alexander won't be so big against some of the beasts of Gran Pulse!

The latest issue of the monthly V Jump manga/game magazine has hit, complete with a four page feature on Final Fantasy XIII. Most of the information was introduced in past issues of sister weekly publication Weekly Shounen Jump, but there are a few additional details.

The magazine offers a look at Pulse, properly referred to Gran Pulse. That's "Gran" as Gran Turismo and not "Grand" as in Grand Theft Auto. I wrote it the wrong way in a past update.

Two areas of Gran Pulse that were previously introduced Weekly Shounen Jump issues are reintroduced here: Yashas Mountains and the unnamed ruins area that's home to lots and lots of Cie Corpses (I've been writing this as the Japanese reading "Shigai," but the FFXIII Wikipedia entry uses Cie Corpse, so I'll switch to that until an official English name is given). Besides these, there are plenty of other areas waiting to be introduced, but V Jump only points them out with question marks.

The magazine speculates that the ruins area, which contains the remnants of large buildings, could be a place where people who were forced over from Cocoon in the past lived. That would imply that Cocoon's forced migrations have actually been going on for quite some time.

Gran Pulse monsters introduced in the magazine include King Behemoth, which stands upright during battle and towers above Lightning. It releases a blue glow, looking like a creature of ice.

The magazine also shows one of those giant dinosaur-like creatures from past trailers. Named Adamantite, the FFXIII version of this classic FF beast stands many tens of meters tall, towering like a mountain over Lightning, Snow and Fang. There's a screen showing the three characters facing off in battle against one of these beasts.

Weekly Shounen Jump provided a look at a massive version of the cactus-like Final Fantasy series' mainstay Sabotender monster. The giant form is actually called Jabotender. Bet they'll call it Jumbo Cactuar in the English version!

Normal-sized Pulse monsters (they're still as tall or taller than your party members) include Caramel Moose and Gorgonops. Caramel Moose doesn't look all that menacing at first, but it has a strong body which can resist Lightning's attacks. Golgonopus has sharp claws and what looks like a bunch of antlers protruding from its back.

One point of note about FFXIII's monsters. You'll actually see them fighting amongst themselves at times.

The magazine also provides a few additional details on the "mission" system that was touched upon in Weekly Jump. While running around Pulse, you'll encounter crystal-like markers. These markers are the crystalized forms of l'Cie who have been unable to fulfill their required missions. They turn into this form after time as a Cie Corpse. You'll get to complete their mission for them.

To use the mission system, you first touch the crystal. You'll get to learn the memories of the crystal when it was in l'Cie form. This will apparently give you a target monster and its location. You'll have to defeat this monster in order to finish the mission.

The monsters for these missions are said to be tougher than your typical foes. You'll know for sure that you're fighting the target monster for a mission because it will have a "mission" marker above its head.

Clear a mission, and you'll get materials (presumably for item creation?) and rare items.

You can apparently clear missions multiple times in order to get a variety of special badges. This seems to imply that the crystalized l'Cie stay crystalized forever, which is quite sad."

So kind of like hunting marks in XII as you have to finish a l'Cie's mission which is hunting a target monster, and you can repeat them.
 
Marks better not make up 90% of the game like FFXII XD felt more like Monster Hunter: Final Fantasy than a FF
 
Ok, found the translation of Kimi ga Iru Kara, last thing I bring up about it I swear:

You suddenly said, "You can cry if you want"
Somehow it made me happy, instead of tears I smiled
My words so clumsy, they hurt you
But I don't want you to leave me, I want you to stay beside me always

Wishes and dreams I want to come true
The feels I wish I could tell you
A miracle created from the things I've always believed
Is connected to the future
Always, always I want you to watch over me
Dear My Friend


I definitely sounds better than the US/E
You said, on leaving "You'll be able to do it"
The loneliness I felt was wiped clean with those words
I'm opening a new door, anyone would be frightened
All I had to do, was remember you, and the strength flowed through me

I won't give up my feelings
If I can make voice to all these words
Then the future will open up wide
Because always, always you are in my heart
Dear My Friend

-Interlude-

I vow that
No matter if I stop, or if a forget
I will keep moving forward
Light is shining down, when I look up at the sky
Until the day when I can see you again

I won't give up my feelings
If I can make voice to all these words
Then the future will open up wide
Wishes, the dreams I want to come true
The feelings I wish I could tell you
A miracle created from the things I've always believed
Is connected to the future
Always, always I want you to watch over me
Dear My Friend

We're done talking about that :|
 
no one went "lol FF7" with that video? :P
 
When you explain the joke, it isn't as funny :|
 
I don't wanna watch a 30 min video. Explain please.
 
Just watch the first 5 minutes, you'll get the joke :|

And I don't like the battle system (well some features). I hate rankings.. it pisses me off cause it almost ALWAYS makes you go "you have to play in this way, in this amount of time, etc to get full ratings!" and that pisses me off in any game. The whole "More advent children style" makes me go "Bah" too but not so much. Break thing is neat and chaining.. but I hate only controlling one party member.. If I wanted to do that I'd play another series of RPG.

Ah well, I'll wait and see when I try it myself. I just hope I have more fun than FFXII -_-
 
Wait, I haven't read about the battle system. You only control one character???
