    I like turn based but I think.... wait I have to protect my caterpillar from Kimbo Slice... *protects* anyway... I think they should reconstruct it. which it looks like they did here. I do like that they kind of combined all the ff games. summon partnering... ff6. my favorite btw. I liked 12's system but gambits just made it so you walked through the game and did nothing. I literally designed my game so it could play itself. I just walked through it. but yea cloud 121 it wasn't exactly ai verse ai, it was just designed to do what you would do, but you wouldn't have to do it. verse the ai.... so its like an advanced ai I guess.... o noes. Kimbo Slice got my Caterpillar

    They Had Something With Final Fantasy 7,8,And 9 I Think That Was Much Better Than 12 Because In 12 You Arent Controlling All The Characters Just Who You Want To...The Gambit System Failed...

    I think turn based should be a thing of the past. FF 11 and 12 had good ideas but you should be in control of your characters attacks. Not just letting the AI do it. And who cares if the main character is a girl. Whats with Afro Thunder doing in FF 13? Did he retire from boxing?

    looks very promising i liked 12s ideas but i didnt like the gambit system because it defeated the purpose because itd be A.I vs A.I but i liked the gameplay and video. i havent beat it to this day because its just way to long in my opionion. but 12 looks very good i always liked turn based battle style so it looks like a hybrid of turn based and something else.

    Man I can't wait. June 2010 is the estimated release date (or so I think I read somewhere). I've been a big fan of the FF series since the begining. I'mma have to check out the XIV info (although XI was my least favorite and this looks somewhat similar to that). It's probably way improved upon what XI attempted though.

    No ofense but why is the main character a girl?i don´t have anything against girl characters (in fact i loove chicks!) but since it´s an rpg game i´d rather be a guy. they sould give us the option to pick whatever we want to be,like oblivion.

    PLAYED THE DEMO YESSSSSSS THIS IS GUNNA B AWESOME!!!!!

  • ricosuave84

    Posted Sep 1, 2009 9:16 pm PT

    plz save da hate dude just cuz u had ur poor lil heart broken by FF12 dosent mean u gotta rain on everyones parade. i knew 12 was gunna b a huge letdown as soon as i herd it was set in ivalice and they had replaced all the old summons. as for 13 it looks like a great return to form for the series with cool characters, an interesting plot, and a battle system that looks like tons of fun (as long as u can control the other charaters that is).

  • TC_Squared

    Posted Aug 31, 2009 6:33 pm PT

    Good point. Remember how the videos made Final Fantasy XII look like it would be as good as FFVI, and it ended up being even...oh...wait.

  • ricosuave84

    Posted Aug 31, 2009 1:13 pm PT

    save ur doubts everyone just from looking at this video cant u tell its gunna be fantastic!!!

    Looks awesome, hope this game will be worth the waiting.
    (It probably will be )

    Posted Aug 20, 2009 11:55 pm PT

    I understand it takes a long time to make a great game..i just hope Final Fantasy XIII is gonna be worth the wait.

  • acesoron

    Posted Aug 15, 2009 2:36 pm PT

    Definitely wish they would go back to controlling all the characters, I am fine with them mixing it up but I felt a little left out of the battles in ff12. also hope that all characters are not the same from a skill standpoint, I don't believe this to be the case but never know. overall presentation of this game looks awesome though. will be interested on how it works out

    i just can't wait ffxiii amazing .think you so much mr.jingfingting for this game. i hope it have nice story like ffx & ffx_2 & the last remnant .go square enix

  • breadisgood

    Posted Aug 12, 2009 9:24 pm PT

    I like that they experiment with the battle system, but it also makes me worry as sometimes I really don't like it (namely FFX-2 and FFXII). I hope they don't mess this one up, I love Final Fantasy. I think they need to stop trying to make it more action-y to try and appeal to more people and stick with the turn based systems that they're good at and work well with the game.

  • LSUWarlan

    Posted Aug 11, 2009 9:19 pm PT

    if this has gambit's like ff12 then i'm not buying it

  • NOSboost7

    Posted Aug 7, 2009 5:05 pm PT

    I would be so sure tht this game would get a 9.0 is if the combat is like FF 7 crisis core and if the story is engaging.tht would gurantee it for me

    @ Gammet25
    Infinate undiscovery was tri-ace, lol... I personally wouldn't say any of their games have failed... just people failing to see why some of their games were good, but thats just personal taste.
    @ Blue_Guardian
    I agree it sucks that English speakers have to wait in europe, when we get the same voices and translations that are in the US version... but since the european version has a load more languages they have to translate to, it makes sense for them not to delay the others just for a simultaneous release...
    and if ya can't wait, just import the US version, lol.

    totally agree with fizzlybear... each game has been great, they all have their up sides... even though I didn't like what they did with X-2, I still enjoyed some aspects of it... such as the way you could go everywhere from the start and meet everyone, it's a good thing for a sequel.
    also lotta people hate on FFXII, yet I had a great time playin that... the battle system was sooo addictive and if you switch off the ai, it became quite a challenge controlling everyone yourself... plus the scenary was amazing, pretty much all the way through the game I had to stop and just look around in amazement, lol.
    anywho... enough ranting... FFXIII looks epic... I like the battle system and the characters seem interesting.

  • Blue_Guardian

    Posted Jul 30, 2009 12:28 am PT

    hope it hits europe simultaneously... we've been frakked repeatedly with delayed releases due to localisation.

  • gabrielsoe

    looking foreword to play this game.
    going to take some time off and enjoy it.

  • fizzlybear

    Posted Jul 24, 2009 11:59 am PT

    I think that if your going to make a series of games that each have a different story and each come from a different universe then obviously things are gonna have to change. Look at the changes they made from 7 to 8. its just the way things go. personally I cant wait, i've enjoyed every final fantasy game because each one is so different. lets cut the moaning!

  • Decrate

    Posted Jul 18, 2009 12:02 am PT

    why are they changing the game so much.

    can't they see all their previous turn based, control all characters, final fantasy games got a 9/10 or higher.

    if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it!

    i just want to control all the characters damnit. A.I. is never as good as human control

    Awesum video

  • silversquall12

    Posted Jul 4, 2009 8:29 am PT

    this game is cool

  • ExireHG

    Posted Jul 2, 2009 5:41 pm PT

    True COUNT, but that's why we keep the old FF's to play. If everything remained the same, the franchise would be very stagnant and boring. I considered XII a miss in general, but from everything I've seen, I'm confident XIII is going in the right direction. I can't wait for it to come out, especially since there are so few decent RPG's on the PS3.

  • COUNTfranncisco

    Posted Jun 29, 2009 6:44 pm PT

    i want them too keep the summons like in ff1-ff9 were they just attacked those were the good days although this one looks fun

  • lucky789

    Posted Jun 23, 2009 12:39 pm PT

    i like this guy

  • Gammet25

    Posted Jun 22, 2009 11:52 pm PT

    This new approach better be good, no offense but square enix has failed quite a few of their games recently like Infinite Undiscovery and the Last remnant on ps3

  • JuSs2Fr3Sh

    Posted Jun 20, 2009 5:42 pm PT

    hhmm...you know whats funny...all these guys are complaining about the game being like this or that but when it comes out...you all are going t buy it anyways...so why dont we all just calm down and wait for the release and see what it has stored..

  • Poshkidney

    Posted Jun 16, 2009 4:44 am PT

    Judging from some of the comments i've read a lot of you want the same thing over and over again for you to complain that it needs improvements. So Lesson of today is don't listen to fans, because they don't know what they want and if you let them design a Final Fantasy or any game it would be a mess.

    The downloaded video has an error. It runs at double speed video, and I only can watch a half part of this complete video. The file size is a half part of real size. The FIFA 10 E309 Interview has that problem too.

    The Gambit system sucks ass! It is like using bots! Worst idea Square ever used was Gambit*cough*bots*cough*

  • Finalblade66

    Posted Jun 10, 2009 8:22 pm PT

    neopulsar08, it's better then having all the AI gambits from XII. I mean it's true u can only control 1 at a time, but it's way better
