Ok, this is good! At last actual info of the game with high quality scans and all!

edit:

BTW Johnny Cullen, this is not duplicate because if you actually clicked the link to read what's in it you would know that the link you're providing doesn't have A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G. No info, no Scans, no nothing! Why that guy posted that it's beyond me... But this link has a lot of info and neat pics and you're calling it a duplicate? Are you blind or something?

I disagree DNAgent. This game is all quality. Square isn't diverting resources on two different SKUs. They are entirely focuses on developing the PS3 version (which is, for those who can't count, ONE SKU). Once that is done, THEN AND ONLY THEN will they start development on the 360 version. So no, no quantity over quality bullsh!t on this one.

Jesus christ, PS3 fanboys are annoying and give PS3 owners a bad name. We PS3 owners are still excited about this game (and I'm contemplating importing Advent Children Complete with the demo). I'm even contemplating buying Tabula Rosa to beef up on Japanese to import the game when it comes out in JP this year.

UltimateIdiot9115514d ago

It is a fact that they will port the game after they finish PS3 version but the fact that they have plan since last year, I'm positive that developers have in mind about the limitation of the 360. It would be a lot easier on them if they prepare the PS3 version for an easy translation to the 360.

I'm looking forward to the game but still skeptical about it.

"We're actively working on the EU version"

Could that mean we might be getting a JRPG before the US!?

gaffyh5514d ago

I doubt it, but it's strange that they are "actively working" on the European version. Cos that suggests that they are already localising, even though they said the would begin localisation after the Japanese version of the game is completed. Interesting.

Probably means that we will be getting the English version of the game a lot quicker than usual. I hope to God that's true.

btw I didn't disagree with you.

callahan095514d ago

I'll be getting the PS3 version and wherever it first comes out in English, I'll be getting that version. Could mean importing from the UK. Doesn't matter to me! PS3 games have no region lock.

Cyb3r5514d ago

Yeah but I dont really like the enviroment the demo is set in its too dark. I still cant wait to play the demo

Sir Ken_Kutaragi5514d ago (Edited 5514d ago )

But it don't look like it's using 100% of PS3 Power tho!!! ;-D

I want to try it, even tho i'm not into RPG games.

+ EDGE was going to give the Demo 1/10 but someone told them it is coming out on
the xBox 360 to, so they have given the Demo 10/10!!! ;-D
(Leave it!!!...Stop being so Bitter Sir Ken) ;)

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."

Einhander1972141d 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.

Nyxus141d ago

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

Shane Kim140d ago (Edited 140d ago )

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

Elda140d 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_B139d ago

*One of the 3 equally bad FF's

DivineHand125140d ago (Edited 140d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic139d ago (Edited 139d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic139d ago (Edited 139d 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.

Gamingsince1981139d ago

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

-Foxtrot139d 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.

Elda139d 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.

-Foxtrot139d ago

Elda

Not just mine mate

A large majority

So….

Traecy139d ago

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

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

Eonjay139d ago

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

Snookies12141d 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!

Eonjay139d ago

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

shinoff2183141d ago (Edited 141d 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

KillerB140d ago

my favorite jrpg trilogy ever
