Amazing! The size of that place is epic. Look at the monsters! The colors and draw distance are both insane.

Noct5252d ago

Wow that looked great.

Behind all the screaming the pre-historic esque music I could hear sounded so good.

The lossless uncompressed audio through my 5.1 system will be just amazing.

villiers5252d ago

:D the camera shakes when it walks nearby.

All the Japanese screaming is hilarious, JTV rules!

Sunny_D5252d ago (Edited 5252d ago )

When the giant monster came by and walked right over the characters, the Japanese screaming made me choke my food, ha ha.

How the hell do you beat a monster that just has to stomp the ground to kill you? Lol epic. 0_o

Noctis Aftermath5252d ago

I found it funny that when they tried to get some revenge on the giant the same thing happened again to them.

GameGambits5251d ago

I want this game inside me. :(

sikbeta5251d ago

I could only understand SUGOI of everything they said XP

So, this game is SUGOI and Japanese will go Crazy in left than 2 days

FamilyGuy5251d ago (Edited 5251d ago )

FFXIII, Will you marry me? :)

The giant enemy fights are going to be epic and I can't believe this was possible yet FFXIII is going to be the first RPG to do it this gen. If this weren't a multi-platform game "power of the cell" would be getting thrown around like... baseballs. I really can't believe what I just saw.

The world looks beautiful and reminds me of the plains in FFX, the attacks look awesome, the character models have fluidly flowing hair and clothes and that summon plus transformation was mind-blowing yet expected from the likes of Square-enix.

They've resorted my love for their most famous series and it only took the clips from some goofy japanese tv show.

When I saw the thing walking about I though it was just some background scenery at first and even when she walked up to it I thought it would trigger some event like riding the monster to get somewhere. Then all of a sudden they're in a battle with a beast that has toe nails bigger than the characters.

I'm ready to break out the rosetta stone books and learn japanese just so I don't have to wait months for something that's really releasing in a couple of days.

*prays for subtitled, HD feeds of the game being played*

Full version, there's more in the beginning. Can't wait to fight a giant Malboro

What a dumb

I wanted to say:

So, this game is SUGOI (Wonderful) and Japanese will go Crazy in LESS than 2 days

This game Looks Just Amazing

rockleex5251d ago

Which transforms them into something you can drive and control.

I bet once you get all the summons, you can combine them into SuperDrive Mode!

Like how all the Power Ranger mechs combine into one giant mech!

The real question that still remains is if the 360 can render those dinosaurs without overheating or falling to the RROD.

Tr10wn5251d ago

The real question is you are old enough to play this? or your mom will buy it for you?

Limited_Vertigo5251d ago

Best episode of American Dad thus far!!!!!!!! Bubbles for you mr. sexy

Sunny_D5252d ago

Ninji, I know you don't like SE or FF. But there's no point in reporting this perfectly good article. You abusing the reporting tools can and will cause a ban for you.

Rybnik5251d ago (Edited 5251d ago )

This looks SO absolutely EPIC!!! Whoever said "lame" to this is lame, or is pissed off that the game looks INSANE in-spite of being multiplatform.

Really, its got lots of subtle things that really breathe life into the world. Flowing hair and clothing flowing in a natural way because of blowing wind. The giant shadows that can be seen rolling over the landscape signaling the presence of HUGE creatures. The team wasn't kidding when they said they would have SOTC moments...really superb.

Things like this are what to use all the hardware for. This is why graphics can matter, its to achieve real immersion. The problem with so many current gen games is that they just take certain things and pretty them up. You got to do it all or it just fails. SE has NOT failed.

I couldn't be happier. The Adamantoise really felt like a giant monster. They got the scale right, and I think the screen shake really helped to sell the sense of danger that thing poses!!! (and LOL when the players got stomped by it.

Wow, and finally the full summoning sequence for Bahamut. AHHHH, why, why no English subtitles. Just put them on PSN and Live, pleeeeeese SE.

I do think the excited guy with the glasses was super annoying however. Anyway, this is how to do a next-gen JRPG!!

chaosatom5251d ago (Edited 5251d ago )

This is the first time, I am actually impressed with FF13.

before, I was like meh, but after watching this, I am like damn!!!!

They didn't dumb down anything, like I thought they would, so all the more better.

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."

Einhander1972131d 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.

Nyxus131d ago

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

Shane Kim130d ago (Edited 130d ago )

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

Elda130d 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_B129d ago

*One of the 3 equally bad FF's

DivineHand125130d ago (Edited 130d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic129d ago (Edited 129d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic129d ago (Edited 129d 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.

Gamingsince1981129d ago

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

-Foxtrot129d 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.

Elda129d 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.

-Foxtrot129d ago

Elda

Not just mine mate

A large majority

So….

Traecy128d ago

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

gold_drake131d ago (Edited 131d 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

Eonjay129d ago

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

Snookies12131d 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!

Eonjay129d ago

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

shinoff2183131d ago (Edited 131d 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

KillerB130d ago

my favorite jrpg trilogy ever
