I thought lightning returns was just part of the articles title, This is not a good name.
Well, I liked the first two games, so I'm definitely going to be getting this.
FF XIII was interesting and love (and hate) the game, i'll put it as interesting like final fantasy 8 in my own opinion. I never played the 2nd game at all and probably won't be able to play due to lack of cash and their are more interesting games that i want to get a hold off. Maybe i'll add FF XIII-2 on my Christmas list.
Final Fantasy XIII-4 Nora's Resurrection.... coming 2015
Quite excited! :dance: Facebook connectivity could be like in XIII-2 where it just says the random stuff you did.
They must have bones of diamond with all the [B]milk[/B] they drink. What's next? Final Fantasy VII-2 Cloud returns to be moody and brooding with spikier hair and a bigger sword in the epic new sequel to the NUMBER ONE FINAL FANTASY GAME EVER
As long as it's [B]LIGHTNING[/B] that returns, it could be good. Now if it's one of those other whiny, angsty children (Hope and whatnot), fuck off.

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;37492725]My main question: Why couldn't Sazh go with Lightning instead of possibly the most annoying brat ever?[/QUOTE] Perhaps because he has a son so he felt somewhat responsible for Hope? That's the first thing I thought back then.

The fact that the game runs completely in real-time a la Majora's Mask, has more dynamic combat, and centers entirely around Lightning has me intrigued as to how this will all pan out. I do hope Sazh makes a triumphant return though; far as I'm concerned he's the best character in the FFXIII saga.

Example: Got XIII collectors ed for $160 NZD (my wallet hurt for ages) on launch. Just a week ago I got XIII-2 brand new for $17 NZD.
Squeenix has had a massive boner over Lightning ever since FF13 But tbh I don't blame them, she is an interesting character from an interesting game, it kinda broke the whiny angsty barriers that a lot of main characters have had in the FF series Though Hope kinda ruined it. I guess it isn't a Final Fantasy game without at least one whiny angsty kid.
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;37492954]Sazh went with Vanille, while Hope went with Lightning.[/QUOTE] Right, misread it and that kind of messed up my thoughts. But it's somewhat the same thing, he thought that Vanille was just a child and was also convinced by her that they can just get away from the whole l'Cie business :v: gah damn it time for another FFXIII playthrough. there's just something in that game that gets me hooked on it so well
I kinda like the concept they presented. Hopefully the story will make more sense. FF XIII-2 was full of stupid plot devices. The title is terrible though. Either go for FF XIII-3 or FF XIII <subtitle>, not this reverse inconsistent mess.
DO YOU GUYS THINK IF WE PLAY CHRONO TRIGGER IT WILL REVERSE THE SPELL?
I have never played any Final Fantasy, but do all the games in the series fall under one main story or are there a bunch of playable main characters throughout the series?
[QUOTE=insane taco;37497064]I have never played any Final Fantasy, but do all the games in the series fall under one main story or are there a bunch of playable main characters throughout the series?[/QUOTE] Each numbered iteration (aka 1, 2, 3 etc) are entirely new stories and completely separate from each other. The series has certain mainstays (there's always a character named Cid, for example), but every main title has a new story and world with new characters. The more popular games (7, 10, 13) have spin-off titles with a continuing narrative and/or characters.
Looking forward to this. Liked the past two so this should be good. Today at Gamespot i saw a poster in one sentence accuse Square Enix of resting on their past successes fruits and curst how shit it is that they keep releasing new games based on a gameworld that they specifically said, and he got hyped at, would consist of MANY fucking games. In the next sentence hes all like "FF7,8,9 RMK PL0X!!!" I was like: What a fucking derp. "Stop fucking resting on your laurels and start resting on your laurels, you lazy cunts." The christo? These fucking brats behave as if everyone who likes XIII never played any other FF game and as if they own the brand. Going around questioning everyone elses maturith while bawwing like a fucking baby. Holy shit, The only fans worse than FFVII fans are Moba gamers...

Final Fantasy VII-2 Cloud returns to be moody and brooding with spikier hair and a bigger sword in the epic new sequel to the NUMBER ONE FINAL FANTASY GAME EVER[/QUOTE] FYI, it's people like this (not you specifically) i'm talking about. "Stop milking FFXIII!!! Why do you do spinoffs all the time!?!?!? VII stood on it's own so awesome!!!" They seem to only think it's cool when VII is milking them dry. A whole game and a ton of spinoffs based on the Emo Phenomenon. All the while, XIII has a proper mythology going that isn't just a carbon Copy of Steampunk+Viking and is actually a bigger hit, it seems. As it stands, VII has been more thoroughly spin-off milked than even Resident Evil has...

I found FF13 to be great, except for the obvious linearity. TBH I wouldn't mind seeing FF13-3 be a bit more open though.
And another announcement without any Versus-XIII news. Honestly? I really don't care about FF apart from V-XIII which really caught my eye but now they seem like they're going to use the combat mechanics from V-XIII in XIII-3
Perhaps just super optimistic but I really hope the fight system will be like Versus XIII's. The realtime action feels much better for FF in my eyes.
I don't get the hype about V-XIII. All we've seen so far seems pretty bland and brown/black...
[QUOTE=certified;37497388]I found FF13 to be great, except for the obvious linearity. TBH I wouldn't mind seeing FF13-3 be a bit more open though.[/QUOTE] The problem with FF XIII is the same thing that makes it so amazing to play, the beautiful design and insane polish. It'd be too much work and not cost-efficient for a development team to make a world the size of say, FF VII or VIII, with the same quality. They worked themselves into a corner.
This is the densest concentration of people that I've seen that seem to have a relatively positive opinion of XIII.
This game takes few hundred years after 13-2.. I just hope Sazh is still in this somehow :{
i thought everyone hated final fantasy 13 what happened? this is surreal
i can totally prove that wrong, cus every thread in the news node gets filled with 'shit game /10' or w/e [editline]2nd September 2012[/editline] unless it's made by valve or rockstar
