New Final Fantasy XIII Trailer up

http://www.square-enix.co.jp/fabula/ff13/

Just click trailers and it's the 3rd one. I don't know what they were saying or what was going for the most part but this games looks freaking amazing. I've never looked forward to a game more in my entire life. Can't wait till this comes out.

EDIT: Trailer also available on Japansese PSN store for download.

I freakin' love that piano song.

Meh, i love ff's, but i fear for this one since the pseudo-transformers summons fiasco stuff...

Still, its not like my hopes are that high for the franchise (since ff9...)

I'm excited about this game, but I think some of the characters look really lame, especially the guy in the overcoat.

I highly doubt it will. I'm importing the bundle regardless and it would be great if I could play the game too, but I'm probably just going to have to either sell it or just keep it as a collector's item because there most likely won't be any English.

Have they revealed an actual badass character yet? Like Auron? Someone who seems like they know what they're doing without looking like their cocky?

I haven't really been excited for this game up until now, it's seemed fairly rubbish to be honest but this trailer absolutely blew me away. No where near Final Fantasy Versus XIII but still the game is looking great, definately going to be picking it up now.

thanks for the link man. after watching the trailer, i've never been so hyped up and excited since the release of MGS4.

When I first saw FFX I knew I had to get it, even though I hated RPG's at the time. I'm getting a similar feeling with FFXIII. Not as strong, but definitely makes me want to play already.

Even though FFX had a romantic story, I thought there was a nice balance and I loved it. This one seems like it might be a little to chick-flicky but I'm still looking forward to it. cj_simmons

How would you even know that you've played neither

I'm getting Final Fantasy X's magical vibe from this.hazelnutman

That's a pretty tall order to fill. FFX is perfect. If FFXIII can even come close to the emotionally gripping narrative that FFX had, I'll be extremely surprised. Don't get me wrong, I'm expecting many things from XIII, but I don't think it'll match FFX in terms of story. FFX's beauty was it's simplicity, when it came to the story at least. XIII looks a bit complex IMO. I think that'll be it's downfall. I'm sure it'll still be an awesome game though. But anyone who thinks that it will turn out as amazing as FFX is delusional.

Yes, but complexity is often a weakness if it's not done right. I don't claim to know the outcome of FFXIII's story in terms of quality, but my guess is that it's complexity will do it more harm than good.

And if the poster earlier was referring to me about liking Versus more than XIII, than your mistaken. How can I like or be excited about a game that has virtually no info out on it yet?

this potentially flawed complexity that you speak of is nothing but conjecture on your part, and yet, you're already pessimistic about the story's success (i'm not talking about quality of characters or dialogue, but the overall story). While i, like you, am doubtful that FF13 will be able to match FF10 magic (i wouldn't go as far as calling people delusional who think that magic will be duplicated; at least not until i've actually played the game), but it would be too soon for me to dismiss FF13's story simply based on the trailers that we've seen.

I completely agree with you that complexity might do a story more harm that benefit, but i think its a little early to mention the potential pitfalls of complexity as for all we know the game will be fairly straightforward, accompanied by some twists here and there.

I mean, it would be realistic to assume that this game won't live up to the hype simply based on SE's underachieving track record in the last couple of years (some would even argue that SE has been an underachiever since its formation) -i know that wasn't your initial assumption; this is just me relaying my fears- but even that doesn't guarantee that this game will not be a great success (in terms of story, characters, etc.)

[QUOTE="Texas2089"] Just because the story may be more complex, doesn't mean it will be any less "emotionally gripping". A more complex story just takes a more mature audience to fully understand and fully connect with it.Rakuho

Anyone saying that they're getting the FFX vibe from XIII simply based on pockets of scarce info and a few trailers is definitely delusional or just extremely optimistic. And I have every right to be skeptical, especially because of SE's track record which you pointed out.

I didn't mean to come off arrogant, it just makes me mad that almost everyone it seems is fawning over FFXIII when there is virtually no information on it besides what I've already mentioned.

Don't get me wrong though, I hope that I'm wrong about FFXIII. I would love another FFX experience. I've yet to come across a game since FFX that has impacted me as much. But until I play it, I will remain the FFXIII skeptic that I am. That way, it'll make it even better if I'm wrong:P.

Thankfully, no matter how it turns out, at least I know the score will be amazing. I love Masashi Hamauzu.

i read that who eva playd the ff13 demo at tgs09 got a look at ffv13 gameplay so we may see some of that soon to i hope:D

Complexity is always a good thing, never a "weakness."

Anyways, VIII was much more magical for me than X. VII as well. I like X though, although unfortunately my disc is scratched and I need to buy a replacement.

You are sadly mistaken. "Complexity" is almost always a weakness if not done correctly.

Yes, that's why celebrated English literature is never complex ... oh wait ...
