The Official Final Fantasy XIII Thread (56K Warning)

[QUOTE="Texas2089"]Just out of curiosity, I had heard that with the Japanese version when you unlocked certain trophies you also unlocked a PS3 theme. I was just curious if 1. This was true 2. If this is being carried over for the US version too If not, has anybody heard anything about maybe a dynamic theme or something?hazelnutman

I have a question... Now, I do not play RPG's very much, but I want this game. Does anybody have any tips for a newcomer to RPG's? I know I will be spending a LOT of time on it (thats why I am not going to start it until after I beat God of War 3) but does anybody have any strategies that they use for RPG's? TO be honest, from the RPG's that I have I played, I REALLY suck at them. I am terrible...

Is it recommended that I buy the strategy guide? Will that get me through the game with no problems? Thanks in advance for the answers :D

EDIT: I guess I had more than one question :P

Excellent work, but you forgot one extremely important aspect of the game:

Final Fantasy XIII will be the very first game in the series to feature lesbians (Vanille and Fang). For that sole reason people need this game right effing now

EDIT: I have another question :P Since I have seen NO gameplay footage at all, is it an RPG where you run around and then randomly someone attacks you without them even being seen? Like Enchanted Arms (I played it at my friends house), you would run and the out of nowhere you would be attacked. I HATE this kind of combat so any heads up on this would be appreciated :D

Nope, FFXIII does NOT have random battles! :) You see all enemies while running around. Once an enemy touches you, you go into the battle screen where you fight a group associated with that enemy type you just touched. You have the choice of running away from these enemies if you want in the main overworld. Pretty much, you'll never fight an enemy without expecting it!hazelnutman

Good to see the thread stickied. Pretty cool news if those trophy unlocks unlock themes too, that's a sweet bonus(from someone who dislikes trophies). So that is actually an incentive. God it's already March tomorrow! I think I'm getting nervous with the wait :shock:

I'm thinking of getting the guidebook too, though I may wait and get it later or something. I worry I might open it early and see things I don't wanna! :x

Are you going to change your sig to accommodate the release of FFXIII?Ultrabeatdown55

Bagh, I might have, but I already made one for Texas2089 earlier today, and I honestly don't think I'll be able to top myself. I've pretty much killed my own motivation :P

But who knows - maybe I'll whip something up later tomorrow with animations or something crazy. Maybe not as good as what I did earlier today, but close to it at least.

^ Yeah im the same i always have English audio and English Subs no matter what game. Nice new Sig btw :D-Hoax-

I generally use subtitles in all my games. Just in case I miss something someone said. But like the poster above me said, I tend to read the more than looking at the scene. I've thought a lot about turning them off in games, but I generally keep 'em on.

I keep the subtitles off because I sometimes find myself reading the subtitles than looking at the scene.Shadow-Elite

nice work hazel.

I really need to beat Star Ocean and WKC before FFXIII comes in the mail. I have 3 weeks to do it. Can I do it? Probably not.

Same. ;) From Amazon! Hope it gets here early in the day; I only have one class that day which owns!

One of the reasons why I ordered from Amazon was cuz 1) Cheap release date delivery and 2) $10 off next game purchase (perfect for God of War 3!).

I pre-ordered it and i also got the guide, you know just in case :P

Amazon is amazing. I order all my games off there. Cheaper prices, no tax, cash back, and free shipping.
