I was reading some news and nomura said that when he was about to design the main char, he was told to do a female version of cloud strife from FF7.

so I wont buy the game, because square cant get over with cloud and they cant make something original, why cant they just understand its a really really REALLY overrated game and character?

Why can't Square Enix understand why Cloud is a sopposed "over-rated" character? Well its simple, that "over-rated" character has amde them millions. Also if that is your only reason, then too bad for you, I like Lightning, she's cool, so I'll get to enjoy FFXIII while you lurk in the corner wishing you could play.

i read on ign that SE is (maybe "was". however, this was about a year ago so it still seems like it was too late to change gears after this) trying to balance the story so no one character gets the star treatment. im sure lightning will be among the major playable characters, but im betting that others will get their time to shine to a degree that you should be able to overlook your annoyance with SE remembering which of its games remain popular years later.

It's actually more than that Square said at first that the 360 version won't compromise the PS3 version. Then just a few weeks ago in aninterview one of them said that some of the sidequest and gameplay elements would have to to be cut and moved along with the japanese audio because the 360 version would need a couple of more discs for it in addition to the ones that it already has. I'm struggling to decide if I'll buy it myself since they lied to their customers yet again.

It's not even out yet and you aren't getting it for the stupidest reason ever created ever! Cloud Strife is the man and Final Fantasy 7 isn't overrated the gamers give it an average of 9.6 on gamespot and gamespot gave it 9.5 You are not cool dissing on FF7

I didnt know that. Wish they would keep the main games just on Sony. I hate multi plats. Sux that ps3 is ahead of the competitors in terms of tech. Already had to wait this long cuz of 360. Now this.

lol, I don't think SE is pulling their hair out because you won't buy their game, what was the point of this topic again? Just because you don't like FFVII means nothing, its the most well recieved ff game so wanting to duplicate that is smart buisness imo.

I wouldn't read too much into it. They have a few common traits, but I wouldn't compare them...he is jus throwing names out to get people's attention, don't worry. You shouldn't miss out on an (hopefully) awesome game, because of things like this.

The character does look vaguely like Cloud (on left), but all of Square's protagonists look like that. :P

i know what you mean they, the characters do seem kinda cookie cutter with m&ms cookie dough, alot of detail but no real depth in the flavour...

The gameplay doesn't seem particularly attractive either, they want to make it look like devil may cry yet they still have it turn based.

Would love to be wrong.

ff7 is OVERRATED, BADLY OVERRATED people just love FF7 because it was the first FF in "3d" to hit the PSX, the graphics were horrible and you cant fight that, the history was decent and the characters were annoying. its the same as GTA4, everyone love it cuz it was the first for a next gen console, but san andreas is way better still san andreas got 9.5 and IV got 10 Overrateness at it finest

btw yuna is in my av cuz I love FFX, that doesn't mean im asking for nomura to make another character basing in yuna or auron

I don't understand how the character design of one character (a pretty awesome one at that) can completely deter you from buying this game, but if you don't want it don't get.

I don't get it. The TC doesn't want to pcik up FFXIII because of the characters designs but, he's a fan of FFX. IMO FFX has some of the worst cast of characters and designs in a FF tittle.

If i never buy ff13 it is because a) 360 is gonna slow it down (in terms of quality) b) if the combat is not as tactical as ff10 c) because the setting (art style, ambience) is not as appealing to me as ff8 or ff10 d) i'm generally not all that hyped up about it e) the main character is a fning* female EMO (her emotianl state just seems so forced) , i like happy go lucky guys and girls in main roles
