Very Nice!

chaosatom5584d ago (Edited 5584d ago )

suppose to look like the CGI action just like in the beginning of the trailer. :(

Also, we didn't get to see the enviroments in-game but we saw a CGI representation of world.

All in all, It seems like FF13 did borrow the look and feel of FF12 combat but not hugely impressive, if you take out the glamor and glory of CGI.

Cwalat5584d ago

omg, the FIRST public showing of gameplay in motion :O

IMO there is a huge difference between the CGI scenes and the ingame engine scenes... But that doesn't mean it looks bad, i think it's the best looking RPG...

But i gotta admit... The gameplay seems ORGASMIC...

Thank GOD they didn't fu****k that up.

=)

This and Versus.... will buy...

StayHigh5584d ago

Again PS3 owners suffer from another muilti-platform game..I am sure the PS3 version will be better but their not taking advantage of the hardware..I can not watch it and say 'WoW' because their nothing special..

Danja5584d ago

better quality but there is still a big difference between CGi and In-game graphics..im a lil disappointed considering how long they have been working on this game and they claimed it would have looked liked Cgi in motion......

but the combat does look great hope the story isn't as underwhelming as FF12

meepmoopmeep5584d ago (Edited 5584d ago )

they should have Eng. subs to the JPN release.
they could garner more sales this way
as crazyies like me would import the JPN version
and buy the Western version later on.
that equals 2 sales for one game.

i doubt i'd be the only crazy to do this either.

o_O

Saigon5584d ago

i know whats going on now...

Beast_Master5584d ago

Looks great, I don't know what CGI movies you guys have been watching but FF Advent children (movie) looks just like this. I digress, I wonder how many 360 discs this will be on?

caladbolg7775584d ago (Edited 5584d ago )

The framerate during the in-game shots seemed not-so-good. We'll just have to see once we get a demo. I'm not getting my hopes up.

Bonsai12145584d ago

@cal

i noticed that too. hopefully it was just the flash video stuttering. because if their engine can't support that, then shame of them for trying to optimize it for multiple platforms.

combat system looks like a mix of 12 and x-2, which is a strange combo, because its widely regarded that 12 has the worst system while x-2 is the best..

gaffyh5584d ago

For some reason it is hard to not notice the fact that this trailer doesn't say "Releasing Simultaneously on PS3 and 360".

hmm....

INehalemEXI5584d ago

They have some sweet animations and choreography in those battles. Character models and textures are great. air juggles and combos is win. I want to see some kind of Omnislash attack.

GamerMan5584d ago (Edited 5584d ago )

When watching the video it looks like the same type of group play first introduced in FFXII. It may have some updated mechanics and it will have a different story. The graphics are much improved but is to be expected in a generation leap of platforms.

I'm not as excited about this game as I originally was but I am still looking forward to it and as a RPG player will most likely enjoy it none the less.

I'm more looking forward to Level 5's White Knight Chronicles more than I am this game. Of course it does help that WKC will be available before this game will be :)

GamerMan5584d ago

would someone please explain what they disagree with me on my statement. I don't mind being wrong. I played FFXII and liked it a lot where others didn't seem to enjoy it. Just the video "gameplay" reminded me of FFXII is all?

Oh well just curious if anyone could explain what difference in opinion you had is all.

Well check back later

lordgodalming5583d ago

I don't know why people hate FFXII all of a sudden. It's not my favorite in the series, but I've still beaten it three times. I didn't click the disagree for your comment, but I do in fact disagree. This looks nothing like twelve. The scenes shown reek of "battle screen" fights rather than in-world. Once we see some actual transition from roaming the game world and battles we'll know better.

And if it makes you feel better, I'm sure someone will disagree with my comment too. :)

GamerMan5583d ago

I will have to agree with you, I am making a bit of a snap judgement on the gameplay aspects being like FFXII without seeing the normal movement versus the transition into battle. I guess I will hold off on my full judgement on that until after someone gets hold of the FFXIII demo that comes the Final Fantasy Advent Children Blu-ray.

I look forward to the day we get more information on this :)

Innocentz_6195584d ago

damn this looks good, now i just wonder what versus is going to look like

The 7 Best Final Fantasy Characters: Unveiling the Legends

While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.

220°

The older it gets, the more I respect Final Fantasy XIII

Alex Donaldson: "Hindsight is a hell of a thing, however, and in the years since Final Fantasy XIII, my respect for the decisions its developers made has skyrocketed. In the two Final Fantasy titles since we see both the brilliance and the folly in alternative approaches - and in Final Fantasy VII Remake, we get a more nuanced understanding of what FF13 was trying to accomplish from many of the same development leads."

Einhander1972142d ago

FFXIII is actually one of the best Final Fantasy games.

I also sort of was disappointed at the time, never as much as the bandwagon. But really all the fantastic 3D rendered cutscenes and I actually liked the characters and the story though convoluted was actually fantastic and the ending was extremely emotional. So much budget and time were put into that game Square had such big plans, I actually have always felt kind of bad for how things played out.

I have been thinking for years how great it would be to get all three games on one disk for PS4 or 5.

Nyxus142d ago

I always liked this game, and I agree, a rerelease for current gen would be nice.

Shane Kim141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

Gotta take off the nostalgia glasses. It's the worst FF. Shiva as a bike, I mean come on.

Elda141d ago

Shiva as a bike is strange but saying FFXIII is the worst FF is not at all a fact, that's simply your opinion.

Terry_B141d ago

*One of the 3 equally bad FF's

DivineHand125141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

When I got my series X a year ago, I bought FF13 for nostalgia reasons but ended up being disappointed. When I first played it around the time it launched, I didn't have a lot of experience with final fantasy games, so I enjoyed it. Fast forward to when I played it again, I found that the game had many unnecessary filler moments instead of just giving us meaningful content.

The game is also very linear and a quote on the article said it best. "It is like a sewage pipe that leads to the ocean until it opens up on Grand Pulse."

The story didn't make much sense either and I believe it is my mistake as I played the FF7 remake on PS5 prior which is a night and day difference in terms of pacing, storytelling and likeable characters even though cloud is aloof.

FinalFantasyFanatic141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

Probably was a mistake to play any of the golden era FFs first (e.g. FF6 through FF10), it makes it harder to enjoy some of the FFs that aren't as good. I think FF12 was where major issues with the series started becoming apparent, and it just got worse from there.

FinalFantasyFanatic141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

I didn't really care for it that much, the only saving grace was that it had a better story than 15 (overall it was better than 15) and possibly 12, and even then, you had to read some of it through primers, like reading a book. Plus the battle system was reasonably fun for what it was, even if it was more the spectacle that was exciting for me (e.g. summoning). And to be fair, the 13 trilogy got better with every games, I still don't like Snow though.

Gamingsince1981141d ago

Ff13 is only good if you haven't played a ff before, or any other games that are decent for that matter.

-Foxtrot141d ago

It is in fact no way the best Final Fantasy game, it's one of the worst

Linear corridors, Cutscene, Fight, Cutscene...rinse and repeat

Dialogue and characters are pretty bad, especially Lightning as the main FF hero, they literally said they tried to make a "Female Cloud" and they failed.

Story was pretty awful

I could go on

I think the only alright thing that came from the game was the music.

Elda140d ago

That's not a fact that's your personal opinion. The game sold 11 million copies between its 2009 release up until 2014 including critically reviewed as an 8 out of 10 or an 80 out of 100. The game does have some issues but it's not at all a fact as one of the worst FF games.

-Foxtrot140d ago

Elda

Not just mine mate

A large majority

So….

Traecy140d ago

N4G commenters such as yourself aren't the majority. The game was well received.

gold_drake142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

i liked the game alot but i didnt like how they handled the terminology.

i dont mind reading data logs but it had soo many.

but i always loved the music and how it looked. the battle system wasnt too bad either.

but i like 13-2 more :)

i still dont understand why we never got a remaster of the trilogy

Eonjay141d ago

Xbox kinda did. Besides the video files of course which are still best on PS3 due to bluray.

Snookies12142d ago

XIII is a pretty solid game, but XIII-2 is WAY better. XIII-2 was one of the few games I decided to go for a Platinum trophy in, early on. Had so much fun the entire way through getting it too!

Eonjay141d ago

Totally agree. FF 13 was okay but 13-2 is my favorite FF game ever.

shinoff2183142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

I hated this to when it released. I haven't much liked a ff game since ff10 as much , aside from ff7remake. I decided to give it another shot on my series x since it's not on a current ps and was liking it quite a bit(just takes me some time to get over things ) until star ocean 2 remake came out I was all over that.

Square should definitely remaster it or something for ps4 ps5

KillerB141d ago

my favorite jrpg trilogy ever
