Nice try. Zidane + Garnet 4ever.


You may be thinking of XII (12)?

Watching that trailer makes me wonder if FFXIII is a game or a movie.

I would watch the movie, but I wouldn't play the game.

Also, FFCCTCB looks like a lot more fun gameplay-wise.

I don't know. It just looks like more of the same spikey haired, pre-teen jailbait, melodramatic, "Gaia" centered horse-crap to me.

Well, obviously. It's not aimed at people who grew up with the franchise, it's aimed at younger gamers. Thusly making the perfect "protagonist age" somewhere between 15 and 18. Just like the characters in almost every other game.

Subtitled trailer for those interested.

Looks like a big yawwwn

Hmm, I didn't finish FFIX. That must explain it.

I never played FFXII, hmm. I need to beat a ton of others first anyways.

Re: Square Enix goes insane with Final Fantasy XIII
 

I think another big problem besides the Gambit system is the fact that they tried to make the overworld and battle system mimic the fighting in FFXI. Bad idea. It tends to get kinda boring after a while.

I think IGN put it best when they said that the game would have been great if it was about a 20-25 hour playthrough.

The production value, story and voice over was nothing short of phenomenal. Wonderful, smart dialogue, and a visual masterpiece.
