Final Fantasy XIII 3% Complete
40
FF13 only 3% into development, with it's spinoff title FF Versus 13 only at 1%, according to Square-Enix in a recent interview. This PS3 killer-app won't be around until 2008 at the earliest. The mobile phone version doesn't get a mention at all. Don't hold your breath, Square fans.

1 - Advent Children.
They sure do have alot of pics of gameplay for only being 3% complete. This will be the bestest super duper caned gamplay in FF history. Square will just use Animated movie cut scenes mixed with gameplay, that's what the PS3/Cell will be good at( how they intend to trick Joe Shmoe), its a pretty nifty trick/short-cut. Long movies in-between gameplay, I give the PS3 that! although CGI has little value after a couple of runs, my start buttons are the first to ware out if you know what i mean. But that's Japanese taste for you.

2008? i'm sure it'll be worth the wait. besides, i don't think too many people were expecting a 2007 release anyway. in the meantime FFXII and Rogue Galaxy should satisfy my rpg cravings. these two, coupled with whatever additional non-rpg offerings both the PS3 and the 360 will have should sate the wait just great.

5.2 - It's a project, they know how much is involved..
Broken down in man-days, from that, they know how many people are involved and can work out what the 'estimated' completion date is..
Still, it's prob better being delayed, gives them more time to polish the product and with a higher PS3 circulation, they can probably make a better return on the game..

With 2008, PS3 has a lot of games on the plate thus far and I wouldn't want this game to overshadow WKS by the talented folks at level 5! Square can take the time to make this title fulfill the potential that us gamers have! I'm looking for this game to do what FF7 did for the PS1, set the bar and raise it to unexpected new levels! Take your time square and gives us the quality we are used to!

So here's a question for you.
If these games basically haven't even entered development yet, what happened to saying those earlier trailers for the games were showing real, live gameplay?
Do you think that maybe, just maybe, everything we've seen from the game so far has been a complete and utter CG fabrication? Naw, couldn't be.

12 - 2008 :(
Oh well If I waited 3 years for XII then whats 2 more years for XIII ... of course if you read the fine print "It is expected we will see at least the main PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIII in 2008 in Japan ". It took 8 months from the time Japan saw XII til the US saw XII.... Although, playing the game right now it was worth the wait but I really hate waiting for the Final Fantasy games.
Those that don't like CG stick with games that don't have it... oh wait.. a lot of games do have CG now. The almighty GOW has CG ... are you going to knock that game for using it. Probably not.
BTW GOW does look sweet... it's not a FPS which has my interest but I will wait to see how it pans out
@Bebedora: Disgaea II is what got me through the rest of the wait for FFXII
@kmis87: I forgot about WKS and thanks for reminding me ... I knew I left something off my list of games I'm wanting.
@power of green II: Its obvious you don't like this style of RPG and its not just CGI that makes the game its the gameplay. If you don't like RPGs or the FF series then say so without being condesending the entire time (basically enjoy your games and don't worry about games you don't care for)
@PAUL CERULA: Waiting until this game comes out would be a good idea if this is the only game I wanted but there is more before this game that I personally want so I guess I will just have to pay more :(
@zypher: I was expecting X-mas 2007 launch for the game but oh well ... guess that is what i get for "assuming"

Disgaea II is not an import so I've waited for it to be released here, now FFXII is not to be expected till Q1 2007, but I bought a imported US version. So now I'm set to live in the tv-chair for some time. :) Have only heard good words about FFXII, more than I hoped for really. woot!
@every CG haters: WKS made by level-5 is set in stone to be a great and polished game. Just like any game to be released made by [<put in name of great developer here>]. (even more secure than so)

12.2 - Oops assumed Bebedora
Forgot living in the US things get released differently here too ... 11 months or so after Japan release for FFXII that would of been too long of a wait... I almost imported FFXII from Japan when it was released in March but had to hold off cause my understanding of Japanese language is very limited... I know what some words mean or said but thats only cause I played FFXI and had to learn some of the language in order to get a group at odd times of the day or night when i played it.

But Gears of War cut scenes are rendered in real time on the 360's hardware, to bad the PS3 can't render the georgeous graphics of gears of war and the cut scenes using the engine look as good as CG. Sure fooled you huh, thats how powerful the 360 is, no more CG cut scenes, 360=real time cut scenes.

12.4 - and the difference between cutscenes is?
If its a cutscene using cgi or the realtime engine does it really matter? You still don't get to play the game and they are still having to use a cutscene to further the story or something they couldn't do truly in-game to keep the story going. The only real difference with realtime and CGI is that that realtime-cutscenes are using the objects from the game. Such as lets see... Metal Gear Solid.
Why are you assuming that FFXIII will use just CGI? It's only 3% done according to this article. You are also assuming that another game console Developer won't be able to have game engine "cutscenes" because it isn't an 360. Are you kidding me!? Shows you how much you know about gaming?. Or you do know about gaming and letting personal bias feelings into a conversation because of a fan boy view you can't appreciate other games. (basically referring back to MGS)
By the way look up
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
for more info on what the difference is.. because its still a cutscene no matter how you slice it and 360 is not the first to have a game to have "...real time cut scenes. " (which is still an animated cutscene)

17 - Final Fantasy has always proven itself time and time again
Regardless if you little people care to admit this fine feature. Square-Enix knows how to make great and long standing RPG's. Just becasue they don't make fps doesn't make them bad. As far as them being the same for 200 versions you can say that about any fps cuz it's the same gameplay and same thing: some big guy with some big gun kills said bad guys...
RPG's are long standing and great for they have deep stories, and countless amount of playtime. You can go through the story or you can wander off and do side quest, get some killer gear, hunt down crazy beasts, and explore hidden dungeons. You can have a group of people saving the world, rescuing a damsel in distress, or even upset a political empire. You can have different amount of features for your person instead of just having a gun for the entire game. RPG's are great and FF always takes a long long time to make. I don't even know why we are talking about FFXIII when the US just got FFXII
Sorry for the long post whoever read it all the way thank you for your time.

PS360wii- I just find japanese rpgs to be boring. Yeah you probably can do all that stuff but guess what your on a grid or its all turn based and boring. I like western rpgs like oblivion, mass effect, and fable. Also dont put words in my mouth. I never said Square Enix was a bad developer. And I never even mentioned first person shooters. What are you talking about. And no not all first person shooters have the exact same gameplay.
Alien- The developers of GOW (the people who make the game and actually know what they are talking about) said that GOW couldnt be done on the ps3 due to memory constraints.

17.2 - XII isn't turn based
I brought up all the other stuff from previous post before yours.
Yeah most RPG's use the turn base policy but XII did break that mold. No random battles and it's free motion for action and you have gambits which is basically like making your own AI.

17.3 - FFXII -- to further expand
is what you make of it really. It has the ability to have no wait even when going through the menus to make it a live action RPG style game where your constantly have to keep on your toes and you btter have a good gambit system setup for that and you can change your gambit system on the fly makes it that much better. Also when you tell them to attack they keep attacking until you beat them, they beat you, or you run away with your tail between your legs.
Also FFXII does give use old school RPG style players the option of wait mode where the action stops and we can go through the menu for each character and have them do there action.
Its not like the old school with random battles and every turn you have to select attack... That is gone and honestly part of me misses it and the other part of me is like why didn't they do this before.
Eurogamer states it best what makes a FF game a FF game
"Each game in the series is set in a new world, with new characters and a re-imagined battle system, but common themes join them together. Over the course of the NES and SNES titles in the series, things like chocobos, moogles, characters called Cid and orphans emerged as key elements which threaded between the various games, while latterly - and especially in the PlayStation and PS2 titles - massive production values, high quality rendered video and sweeping orchestral scores also became recognisable elements of the series."
To see the full review of FFXII and learn more about it go to:
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...
This will let you know more about a series that you think everyone the same. Like FFVII broke a mold I think FFXII broke another mold. I'm not sure which I can say is better though ... still playing XII so have to wait and see.

because it didn't have good games and the games looked like s!@#, and guess what, i just got my 360 and i'm getting GOW, it looks pretty good.
so i don't know y some people are saying that ps3 games look like s!@#, and some people are saying that sony can't make a game as good as GOW.
just wait and see, just give it time and about a year you'll see the power of ps3, just like i did, i waited six month to get my 360 because i didn't like it's lounch.

The real problem is that these "killer graphics" you've been seeing the PS3 "deliver"... don't exist.
Read the article- the supposed screenshots and gampeplay movies of FFXIII are total fabrications, not based on anything remotely resembling any game actually in progress.
The graphics enging that would eventually make this game basically hasn't even entered development yet! The devs are at the stage where they're basically still just writing an outline for the coding they eventually plan on doing- THERE IS NO FFXIII.
It's not that PS3 games look bad, or that PS3 isn't capable of delivering, it's that PS3 fans CONSTANTLY fall to Sony's pure and utter BS.
-Remember how Killzone was supposed to be so great, then it sucked (compared to the hype)? Then everyone fell for the new Killzone trailer at e3 2005 and actually thought it was realtime. Just like they did with Killzone back in the day. And we've STILL heard absolutely nothing about the game since then...
-Everyone also bought into Metal Gear Solid in 2005, and we've clearly seen how the game has gotten multiple massive visual downgrades since then.
-Resistance is not shipping in 1080p, as has been promised all through development.
Compare to 360's track record.
-360's playable games at launch actually look better than their demos from e3 2005, because the demo units were actually less powerful.
-Gears of War on the 360 looks exactly like it's always been hyped to, dating all the way back to when it was originally used as the Unreal3 tech demo.
-360 is moving games toward 1080p, instead of moving them away.
Seriously.

19 - why rush the game?
FFX was a freakin awesome rpg and i thought FFX-2 was great( i squeezed over 99 hours of gameplay from it even though it could have been easily defeated without the perfect ending in 20hours). ..and for those people who don't like rpg(especially FF)you people have very narrow minds. Let the game/developers show how good the game can really be lets not f*ck it up by complaining.
