Final Fantasy 13 Gameplay Footage *Live Right Now*

they got rid of FF12's battle system which is a big letdown for me i really liked 12;s battle system

EDIT: I just read up on the battle system. I don't think you can queue-up commands like FF12. I think you perform them back to back until you run out of AP. And from the looks of things you may only control one character during an entire battle.

I cant believe I missed it!!!!

[QUOTE="JangoWuzHere"][QUOTE="TREAL_Since"] I think that makes it more dynamic :?. I like that about it. You actually have more control over your character than any final fantasy game before.TREAL_Since

It seems like they are mixing traditional turn based commands with western sty|e rpg free roaming. Kind of like FFXII, but better.

What's up with the idiots in the chat? :?II-FBIsniper-II

[QUOTE="TREAL_Since"]

[QUOTE="JangoWuzHere"] I don't think that makes it any better really. All of the Final Fantasy games had somewhat poor combat and RPG gameplay. Most of the time and money was spent on the flashy CG and story. most RPG games can easily blend story and gameplay together(Kotor, Witcher, Mass effect, etc. etc.)JangoWuzHere

There may RPGs with deeper battle systems/gameplay than the Final Fantasy series. But to call it poor is really stretching it IMO. Sure there's more to gameplay than combat. There's sidequests, exploration, and mini games. Things that Final Fantasy games cover as well.

Wow.

The graphics.................

I love the art and detail, but the graphics are nothing special in HD pics i saw, yet it is the art that makes it one of the most beautifull games around

Hooray, a playable JRPG! It looks good to me, considering it's an early demo.

[QUOTE="JangoWuzHere"][QUOTE="TREAL_Since"] Wait... You're comparing WRPGs to JRPGs :?. For what a JRPG encompasses, the Final Fantasy series has always been top notch in the gameplay department. Different type of battle system than a game like The Elders Scroll.Hard to directly compare and say Final Fantasy had *poor* gameplay.

The gameplay looke well paced and the graphics looked good despite the horrid stream from Justin.tv. Also, Justin.tv chat has some of the most annoying people on it.

Yes it does have side quests and exploration but they are limited and somewhat medicore. The mini games I felt at times were also pretty lame. I only liked a few.

[QUOTE="TREAL_Since"][QUOTE="JangoWuzHere"] I have played better JRPGS then Final Fantasy. The paper mario series comes to mind. And not all WRPG's are freeroam. Some older WRPG's are turnbased like Fallout. And the combat in Fallout was very fun I must say. Theirs also more to gameplay in RPG's besides just combat.JangoWuzHere

I have 16mb from Comcast, everything works smooth except Justin.tv streams. I dont get why. But, the quality of videos from that site are almost always crap, atleast the ones I watch.

Man.......I hope the story isnt flat out boring. (ie. FF10 and FF12). I mean i hope they make you give a crap about at least some of the characters.

The battle system seem's............I can't wait for Versus.

The gameplay looks great but I was hoping you can move your character during battle.XenogearsMaster
