Yeah, the whole Sci-Fi thing is a bit of a turn-off for me. If S-E wanted to make a sci-fi game, go ahead! Just don't put the label 'Final Fantasy' on it just so you could get more cash! <_<

I mean, FFVII looked modern with all the cars, motorbikes and big corporations... but like HD said, it retained a sort of fantasy element to it. FFVIII was the most sci-fi FF game I've played and though it did have sorceresses there, it wasn't enough to give me a whole fantasy feel to it... :/

Also, SE's lack of creativity with the heroine's design irritates me.

Hehe, the first time I saw a screenshot of the lead character, I swear thought I was looking at Ashe! :lol: Nomura's artworks are good, but they're not very original. I mean, I even thought that the blue-haired, red-eyed boy looked like Kadaj's long-lost brother. :wacko: Though, I'm more interested in the guy more than the girl. :whistle:

Oh, agreed FF_G and H_D. You guys plucked the words out of my mouth! :lol:

The only thing I like about this heroine now is her pink hair. :giggle:

I don't like the fact that she looks so broody. I'm a fan of the typical cheerful white mage heroines. I can see this heroine building up a whole new legion of fanboys where the only kick-ass chicks must be able to wield a gun and sword and do flips in mid-air. *sigh* And all the white mages and 'feminine' girls will be pushed into the background and picked on for being 'wimpy'. >_< *head explodes*
For now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she'll have a good enough storyline and personality to capture muh interest and fangirl heart!

And the sc-fi world is a bit of a turn-off. I didn't find FF8 all that modern, probably only Esthar - but it was of course more modern than FF7 - but still not too bad, I guess. At least we still had the little towns and chocobos and whatnot. I haven't played FF12, but is it more sci-fi than FF8? :unsure: And what's all this about technology and magic having been merged? Ah well, I suppose we'll find out soon enough.

Final Fantasy IX's world is still my favorite out of the latest games in the series. Love the whole kingdoms, villages, chocobos, and flying boats theme!


SECOND'ED!!! :lust:

Wikipedia: As a genre, fantasy is both associated with and contrasted with science fiction and horror fiction.

But I'm just goofing off. :P I agree about being disappointed by the lack of the 'magical' aspect in the screenshots, but I'll try not to write the game off until it actually comes out. Perhaps there'll be a nice, surprising fusion of the two (and in the meantime, I'd also like to wish for a Ferrari and Brad Pitt on my lap).

Well, on one hand, I do like the mere fact that we're getting more female leads in FF after a slew of guys.

I don't mind the whole angsty-female-main-character bit, since I think it's a nice change from the previous happy-main-female/brooding-supporting-female arrangement. The fact that Nomura's involved in it is a good sign, since all his previous FFs adopted the rinse-and-reuse idea when it came to the female characters.

And after about four games of such characters (FFVII - FFX), I think I'll excuse FFXIII for reusing FFXII's idea and creating "another Ashe". :lol:

But I agree with yin-chan about the whole white mage = wimpy thing. >_< This perpetrates the idea that a girl isn't "kick-ass" and worthy as a character unless she's some unholy combination of Lara Croft and BloodRayne. It's mostly the drooling fanboys to blame for that, but still...

You play Vaan, I think. But in terms of story, Ashe kinda steals the limelight whereas Vaan was just... there. XD
That is the impression I got from Anti-R, who has played FFXII. Plus, there are always two main characters, a male and a female. In FFVII, it was Cloud and Aerith. In FFVIII, it was Squall and Rinoa. Etc, etc.....

Same here! I loved that world, it was so magical! :fangirl: I would much rather have a world like this than some techno junk. <_<

Agreed. Why the hell can't they make a cheerful white mage female that kicks ass? I think that would be original! Instead, we get female versions of Cloud running around with big swords. :rolleyes: Give me a break...

Well, flying ships are pre-dominant (and dare I say it? The advance technology) in Ivalice. But the cities doesn't feel futuristic for me. Heck 80% of the game the party goes from points A to B on foot (which kinda reminds me of FFX when they got the ship after everything else was done).

IMHO, FFVIII was more hi-tech than XII.

*Longs for the time of FF cliches* :sad:

Me too, but I have to admit this looks awesome. Heck! I'm even excited over the fact that it's like a million part story! And a female prot could be intersting, I know alot of people that have been clamoring for it. I'ma give it a chance!! *Bounces*

And zomg, the two main characters(so far) are just...entirely TOO SEXY for the world! Imagine their kids! :swoon:

Not completely new, but I guess you can see more stuff than the previous scans. That building on the upper left reminded me of the palace in FFX-2. :lol:
