I check out the IGN website today and they announce a Final Fantasy XIII for the PS3. The game looks really cool, and they're going to make sequals of it too! I'm looking forward to it.

Linkage!!! This is very exciting news. And apparently, the same team who did FFX will be doing this. The pictures look awesome! They're the in-game graphics, right? Sweet! And by the looks of it, Nomura has returned as well! Which I think is great since I would rather he focus on new FF titles than adding more to the FFVII universe. :) |

Mwaha, so the mystery of Nomura's next project is finally solved! Haven't watched the trailer yet, but this part from RE's link had me chortlng:
Huh. I guess SE's too good for normal, one-part, one-platform RPGs anymore. ![]() And ANOTHER cellphone game?! And unlike BC, which is pure retcon crack, this game is being involved in the overall story from the beginning! The third game (FF Versus XIII), which Nomura is involved in, has me rather dubious, though. I'm getting more FF/KH vibes. |

Edit : Oh, oops, I didn't notice there was another thread for FF13 in the SE section. Sorry mods, I looked in Final Fantasy and didn't find any topic there so I just posted this one. Only now do I notice the other thread. ......Well, shiatz. LOL, no mod is online now so if one of ye good peoples come along later, please feel free to merge this thread with the other!! <33 Sorry again! -------- Well E3 is pretty much on the run, (I think?) and SE has released a trailer for Final Fantasy 13! You can view it here : http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?fs=1&id=2649 Motomu Toriyama, who directed Final Fantasy X-2, will serve as director for the Final Fantasy XIII game. The storyline for the game, according to Square Enix President Yoichi Wada, will focus on "those who resist the world." The producer is Yoshinori Kitase; character designer is Tetsuya Nomura, art director is Isamu Kamikokuryo, main theme designer is Nobuo Uematsu and composer is Masashi Hamauzu. The theme of the game is "A tale of souls from a futuristic civilzation illuminated by the Light of the Crystal". Screenshots: http://www.the-magicbox.com/0605/ff13logo.jpg http://www.the-magicbox.com/0605/ff131.jpg http://www.the-magicbox.com/0605/ff132.jpg http://www.the-magicbox.com/0605/ff133.jpg Apparently it's going to be a trilogy of some sort, called Fabula Nova Crystallis FF XIII, http://www.the-magicbox.com/0605/img01_fabula.jpg and will be a three part saga. The first part will be a prequel as a cellphone RPG, named Final Fantasy XIII Agito, the game will be a multiplayer title. http://www.the-magicbox.com/0605/ff13agitologo.jpg http://www.the-magicbox.com/0605/img01_agito.jpg This game is directed by Hajime Tabata (Before Crisis: FFVII), and produced by Kousei Ito (Before Crisis, FFVII). Then Final Fantasy XIII, and then Final Fantasy Versus XIII as a sequel action game, which Nomura and the Kingdom Hearts team will be working on. Stating that the Latin word "versus" means "to change direction," Square Enix says that the game be handled by the team responsible for creating Kingdom Hearts, and will feature "extreme action elements." It is apparently a wholly independent story unfolding a different world with different characters. This title will appear alongside Final Fantasy XIII on PS3. When coupled with FFXIII, FF Versus XIII completes the core of the FABULA NOVA CRYSTALLIS project. This game will be produced by Shinji Hashimoto, director and character designer is Tetsuya Nomura; movie director is Takeshi Nozue (FFIX, FFX, FFVIIAC, KH), and composer is Yoko Shimomura (Legend of Mana, Parasite Eve, Kingdom Hearts). The description of the game is "Harmony is realized in this alternative tale of Final Fantasy XIII". Screenshots : http://www.the-magicbox.com/0605/ff13vs.jpg http://www.the-magicbox.com/0605/ff13vs1.jpg http://www.the-magicbox.com/0605/ff13vs2.jpg Source : IGN.com, FFX-II.net, Magicbox.com What do you guys think?? The trailer looks nifty, I wonder if this time the lead character is going be a female?? I don't know for sure what I feel about all this -- FF13 looks fantastic, but I'm more a fan of the conventional old-school FF heroes - the Cloud and Squall era. I liked my female heroines cheerful and intriguing, so I'm not too sure how keen I will be on this new sort of lead if this broody looking female indeed does turn out to be the main character. Her design reminds me of Elly from Xenogears and a bit of Suikoden's Chris, I don't know why - I just got that impression of femme strength from it. :lol: She looks pretty cool though, but not really my cup of tea. It's like Yuna+Lara Croft, but more toned-down with better colour combinations. XD I think her facial features look kinda like Cloud!!! :lol: Most of all, the whole high-tech, futuristic world kinda bums me out a bit... I'm beginning to doubt if we'll even have chocobos in this one.And that weapon just screams Gunblade!!! Goodness!!! I wonder if it's got anything to do with the FF8 world!! ------------- Other details from the pre-E3 SE press conference : * Final Fantasy XII has been confirmed for a North American release this October. An extended trailer featuring all-English voiceover work was shown as well. * A new game in the Dragon Quest series, called Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and Tower of Mirrors, will be coming to the Nintendo Wii as a launch title for the console. * More mobile games are in the works: Dirge of Cerberus: Lost Episode is being made, along with a remake of the original Final Fantasy Adventure. More footage for Final Fantasy III on the Nintendo DS was also shown, as well as first footage of Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core for the PlayStation Portable. Final Fantasy V Advance and Final Fantasy VI Advance for the Game Boy Advance were shown, and "new surprises" were promised for each. * Akitoshi Kawazu, Executive Producer of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, showed two new games in the Crystal Chronicles series -- Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fate for the DS, and Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers on the Nintendo Wii. The DS version will feature simultaneous four-player gameplay. * Upcoming release dates announced include Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth on July 18, Dirge of Cerberus on August 22, both Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria and Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime in September, and the previously mentioned Final Fantasy XII in October.

Wow, thanks for the links ![]() Mmmm... I don´t know what to think about all of this. Yeah, the graphics are really awesome and all, but I definitely can see a little of Matrix in this -__-º... I think I rather wait for how it will go in the future ^^ And more images (from FF versus XIII): http://www.the-magicbox.com/0605/game060508a2.shtml Haha, without any doubt, this guy looks awesome, too

the girl who becomes a prince

Wow... that girl looks like a cross between X-2 Yuna and XII's Ashe. o.0; So that's the project Nomura was talking about in the interviews, eh? And PS3? UGH... BTW, I love XIII's logos. Quite pretty. |

*can't view the trailer* ...ugh...I'm really starting to get tired of the look-alikes. I was hoping the lead female in FFXIII would have a completley new and fresh look to her...and what's up with the world of FFXIII? I want mah flying boats, chocobos, and castles back! *calms down* It looks too futuristic for my taste. It screams Star Wars and The Matrix... I just hope that at least the storyline will be interesting. |

Very interesting and impressive. It looks great, that's a fact. And what I really love about FFXIII is that we finally get another female lead character as we haven't had one since Terra. And look! She is actually wearing clothes and not something that reveals 90% of her skin. Very good. I do not even have FFXII yet but I am already eagerly waiting for this one. The little we saw about the world reminds me very much about FFVII, sort of steampunk kind of atmosphere. The leading lady also reminds me of Cloud. Let's hope she is as messed up and fascinating as he was in the game.

Futuristic style FF again... I guess it just goes to show that Nomura-san cannot do traditional "fantasy-looking" FFs (FFVII, FFVIII, FFX, FFX-2 all had futuristic themes in them and all done by Nomura). As usual, I didn't expect his design to be all that original. The girl looks like a cross between Yuna, Ashe and Cloud. Though the guy in FFvsXIII looks cool... blue hair and red eyes! :fangirl:. Wikipedia says that his name's "Natch". I don't mind my main FF girls tough, but I don't want her THAT tough! XD As for the logos, they're all beautiful! I'd expect that from Amano (it is Amano's design, right?). They just keep getting better and better. EDIT: Just watched the trailer. Is it just me or do the bad guys look like Storm Troopers a la Star Wars? And holy crap! She really DOES remind me of Cloud when she kinda squints during the end of the trailer... kinda makes me wish she was a man instead.

The bride of Sephiroth

![]() I caught the trailer on Youtube, it's gonna be good. This is looking to be the main character, a woman. I think Terra was the last original female lead. |

Love the fact that she's wearing clothes and doesn't look like a Barbie Doll. :) If there is no White Mage in this game, however, I WILL cry. Her facial expressions reminded me of Riku.... :lol: |

Well if you count FFX-2, Yuna was the last. But I'd rather not because...ick. Anyway, did they announce the woman's name yet? And is it just my screen or does her hair look like a shade of pink?
