With the new trailers that were released a few days ago about FFXIII and FFvsXIII I thought that both the games looked stunning. All the characters look really amazing, but especially Lightning. She has a sort of 'coolness' about her.

My worry is that she'll be spoiled by some bad voice acting. In my opinion, that could hit Lightning significantly.

I really am looking forward to these games, don't get me wrong. This has just been lurking at the back of my mind the whole time.

Your thoughts?

Im more worried about the game story line. I hope its not another "I must save the world" story line...I've had enough of those, I want a more personal one.

Bad voice acting could spoil it, but the gameplay and story are all I really care about.

I actually lost interest in FFXIII and got more interested in FFVXIII, not only is that a ps3 exclusive but it's developed by the FFVII compilation and Kingdom Hearts team, it's an action RPG though.. But from that recent trailer.. The game just seems more mature and FFVII type.. I love the main character and the music OH GAWD!:P

The only thing i worry about is being lost in another world ways away from the reality we live in now playing this game on the 360. :-)

Finally get my first chance to play and complete a Final Fantasy game, beside the Tacitcs one for the Game Boy a few years back

Ma bad the game is directed by Motomu Toriyama(FFX-2) but it features nomuras designs...well i think this just confirms that ff13 wount be as good as ff13VS considering the director of ffx-2 is directing this game. The only saving grace of ff13 is that it is being produced by yoshinari kitase(Chrono trigger,ff6, etc).

The only thing I'm worried about is the dev time. This game is taking way to long to come out. It could potentially be the most expensive game ever made. :P

How is that pathetic ? :|

Exclusives are more often than not of higher quality than most games, because they are optimised for the console its on. That's a COMPL:ETELY valid reason.

He's talking about her voice-actress, not personality.

The story is probably the only thing I disliked about Final Fantasy XII. Its not that the story was bad, but I wanted it more on a personal level like Seraphim said. If Final Fantasy XIII does this, it could possibly take the cake of being my favorite game. Or if Final Fantasy Versus XIII has a mature plot-line with action akin to Kingdom Hearts but deeper and more difficult, that has the chance of taking it as well.

I have such high hopes for both of these titles, and I honestly think both have the potential to be incredible.

"More often than not" - Do you know what that means ? :| Obviously, just because it's exclusive does not automatically make it a high-quality game.

I was thinking more along the lines of Gears of War 1 and 2, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Uncharted, MGS4, Little Big Planet, Valkyria Chronicles and all the awesome exclusives of the previous generations.

KH1 was awesome, KH2 was boring. I know the combat is basically the same, but by the time KH2 came out, it had gotten pretty stale :? Im hoping they can have an Action RPG fighting system to Versus, but more exciting. Maybe something like the God of War/ Ninja Gaiden/ DMC fighting system, but input a chance to miss and the enemy to block/parry and all that according to your stats/gear. And if you want to do some of the more complex attacks, you press a button that stops (or maybe slows the game down, for sum more difficulty) and you have to pick the skill you want to use. So lets say you want to do the crazy "jump over the enemy's head and shoot him" finisher. You have to actually jump, and at the right time press the "slow down" button. When that button is pressed a menu comes up and you have to select the skill you want and a moving bar appears. You have to press X at the right time (when the bar is full) to achieve maximum damage (anything below 50% full causes the skill to fail) and all this must be done before your character (who is moving in slow-mo) lands from his jump or crosses the sweet spot of the jump where you can pull of the move. Is this system perfect? No, but atleast its different :P

Depending on what you mean, either all FF's have this same story line and you should look elsewhere, or most FF's don't have this storyline, and XIII won't be an exception.

FF's always boil down to saving a planet/nation/population. Always. On the other hand, None of the main characters ever think they're going to save the world from the Getgo, and they each have some personal motivations that spiral them down the inevitable path to saving the world.

Bad voice acting is a part of the game but no way is it the deciding factor of how great a game it is. To me the gameplay is the most important factor and without it the game gets really boring really fast. Another important component is the story or narrative of the game, with this the game keeps you hook on it to continue playing it.

Not the way he validated it, he lost interest in FFXIII and got more interested in FFVXIII because it is exclusive. Seems like a pathetic reason to lose interest in a game just for going multiplat.

I really hope they pick up the Final Fantasy series again. If their fasting selling title and game came out in 1999 you know there is something wrong here with the newer ones. I hope they actually go to the roots of the Final Fantasy series with a story line that is compelling and unoriginal. FF7 was great the first time, but to play clones over and over again is actually hurting the name. I hope for the best of the FF13 and FFV13. I do like the approach of FFV13 because Tetsuya Nomura stated the game will combine fantasy and realism just as they did with Final Fantasy 8. This I found interesting after Tetsuya Nomura said that because it was said earlier that FF13 was trying to reach to the core of FF7. What I am worried about is clones, I don't want FF13 to be a FF7 clone and I don't want FFV13 to be a FF8 clone, but who knows it might turn out great.

spinecaton

Still, I understand where he's coming from. As a owner of both consoles, I couldn't care less about multiplatforms, I just want my game as good as possible.

The FF XIII announcement did upset me a little. Of course, I wouldn't lose interest in a game JUST for that.

Im more worried about the gameplay -- why hasn't it been shown yet? why is it CGI still? I find it rather pathetic that there is nothing to talk about for the game and it's been announced since 2005 -- three years later, more CGI clips.

FFX's voicacting was satisfactory, and FFXII's was great. I wouldn't be worried. SE knows this game means a lot.
