New Final Fantasy XIII Info Coming Soon

Enterbrain in Japan have announced a few little details about the November edition of Famitsu magazine and they've claimed that there will be a heavy focus on Final Fantasy XIII this issue.

Nothing about the actual content has been disclosed as of yet, but it looks as though the content on Final Fantasy XIII will be very new and it will disclose lots of new features that are set to get fans excited.

1 - If it's actually anything new AND exciting
then I think I will be very surprised. It's been so long since we have had anything of real interest about this game. *hint* decent amount of real in-game footage.

Well, I guess Square Enix have to start the proper hype-train at some point.

1.2 - I guess...
the hardcores are the ones that bought a PS3 to play the game thinking it was going to be PS exclusive. I don't mind it being multiplat, but if the game is in any way less than what it could have been because now it has to be built for two systems as opposed to one, yeah...that group is going to be p'd. I'll be one of them too.

Look at the masterpiece that was MGS4. That's what I was expecting from Square. Hope they don't let me down.

1.5 - at this point, all I really want to know is the release date
Seriously, these huge FFXIII "non-announcements" are getting annoying. Everybody wants the game no matter what Square announces.

They could announce "One of Thirteen diseases with every disk!! THIRTEEN!! Choose from SARS, West Nile, Bird Flu, that f'd up disease from Outbreak, and many more!!" and fans would still line up to buy the game.

Maybe it's just me, but I just want to know when FFXIII is coming - the actual month, day, and year - and no delays.

Agree with most of above. After all, the word "News" includes the word "new."

I suppose we can be thankful they didn't say, "Big, MEGATON announcement about FFVII!!"

That's what it is going to be.

This is SE, they haven't shown us sh*t for 3 years now.

Screenshot does nothing, I see way better graphics on Killzone 2.

Knowing Square-Enix it will be info telling us something like there's a dog in the game named Hail. Only this isn't his actual name and that information will be released later along with more screenshots from the same old trailer. I believe they're trying to make it so that you can recreate the entire thing in slideshow form.

No you're not alone. I started to lose interest when I realised that the game's been in development for so long already, and all we've seen is basically one extended trailer. All prerendered, not many hints as to story or gameplay. The last good FF IMO was FF10 and that was quite a while back. And FF10 was not nearly as good as 7,8 or 9 (9 is my personal favourite, though it was the 1st one I played..)

I feel the same way about GT5... I'm not confident the damage system will be great (if it comes at all), and other than that, well, I've played prologue and so it will feel like I've played it before, which I will have.

Don't get me wrong, it's always good to hear more info about this game, but I'm not expecting it until 2010 anyway so hype level is low atm.

Feel the same way as well. It feels like eternity since we've heard about the game. And then FFXIII Versus has been getting slow news as well. -__-

I liked FFXII, the story wasn't as good as the earlier ones but I don't think it was a terrible game by a longshot, I put a lot of hours into that game.

Back on topic I hope they show the battle system in action, I would love to see that.

coolfool - 407 days 18 hours ago
5.4 - Yep, i agree
I think many people are starting to loose interest now.

However, maybe Square are aware of this and so this will be quite a good update to keep people interested?............... Ha ha ha ha, I crack myself up sometimes!

Thor, completely with you on the FF choices, XII was rubbish in comparison with the earlier ones. I just thought that there was no character development throughout the game.

FFX was my favorite as well--I've played all of them besides FFII--and for that reason I'm actually hopeful. The game's director said both the people on the team and their mindset for building the game were focused heavily on FFX. Fingers crossed.

Yes it will be really exciting. The will announce the cat's name that was not in the 2 minute trailers.
Of all the companies Square Enix is the biggest let down this generation.

No-one get your hopes up, this is Square-Enix. What are the odds the huge reveal is along the lines of 'At one Point Lightning may wear a hat!!!!'

Yeah remember their big announcement for PS3 fans (to counter the loss of exclusivity) was a demo that you have to buy bundled with their film? Yeah. They suck. "Lightning may wear a hat" indeed. Or maybe at some point she wears shoes? That would be a revalation and a half.

lordgodalming - 407 days 14 hours ago
7.2 - Demo bundled with film,
AND the demo would only have a limited release with the first shipment of FFVII:AC, guaranteeing that they wouldn't even have enough demos to satisfy the Japanese market, let alone the rest of us.

If you remember, there was also talk of charging for the demo later on, though I have a feeling that it would be free on xbox Live. Just a hunch.

Thanks a pile, Squeenix.

9 - Long, but worth it..
Sure it takes more time to be released than a few of the so-called AAA RPG's. But those bundles of joy, have bundles of bugs that make them less enjoyable. When is the last time a Final Fantasy came short of content or was flooded with bugs. It's a JRPG, it's polished and it's worth it. It takes more time, but it has more value for a buck than any WRPG on the market..

Announcing that new information is coming, without actually having any new information at all - stupid

16 - Then ask yourself the question
Would you rather have a short bugged experience in terms of Fable 2 and Fallout 3 or wait some longer for a genuine solid game. I don't mind the wait, I am psyched about it as I am for White Knight Chronicles. Sure it takes time to report about them, but I know when it's released I'll be able to enjoy it to the fullest extent.

There has been such a massive lack of news on this title... everything is totally obvious, totally pointless drivel. Show me GAMEPLAY, I'm sick of cinematics. Show me something about the GAME, not a character name. Give me a release date already. Sh1t, we should have our SECOND FF in development by now Square.

I can't believe it, but I just don't care anymore. Bring on Persona 5.
