The one game to rule them all, FFXIII blow out

This is the game that will make me buy a PS3, this is the game that will have lems and sheep converting or gnashing their teeth in jealousy.

As part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis project, Final Fantasy XIII embarks on an adventure full of mysticism, friendship, and strife in the name of destiny. The world calls for change. Chosen by the crystal to guide the world into this new era of change, Lightning attempts to overthrow the government from which she was cast. Cocoon, for many, is the ideal state of life. Or at least it was. Prosperity reigned upon its inhabitants. Powered by the crystal, they were given everything they would ever need: machines, magic, and other living beings. The citizens of Cocoon were thankful, but soon became scared of the threat posed from without. The people of cocoon grew scronful, outlawing any suspicious personae to the world below: Pulse. Lighning is one such person, and has witnessed the resulting injustice first-hand that has begun to overtake the world of Cocoon. After becoming friends with many of Pulse's inhabitants, she has begun to realize her true destiny.

Worlds

Cocoon

The world above, as the people of Pulse know it, was enchanted by a magical crystal that established everything that the world has now become. Monorails and hover lanes divide the living sections of the inhabitants. This is a global utopia for all kinds of modern technology. Better yet, it is a place that is constantly evolving. The technology has become so advanced that the place has now decorated itself into a formidable fortress. The defenses accrued have made Cocoon a safe haven from the denizens below, but the people of Pulse do not see it that way. They see it as if the citizens of Cocoon have stranded themselves.

Pulse

Like Cocoon, the world of Pulse was created by a crystal. 'Awakened,' as the people would state. Due to the harsh rules Cocoon has led, many believe Pulse to be a breeding ground for everything that has gone wrong with the world. It is a place filled with malcontent. They believe this is the source of all the violence and misery that occurs. As a result, the government outcasts "conspirators" to this underbelly. Since then, the exiled Cocoon citizens have discovered the truth. That Pulse is actually full of life, beauty, and majesty. Even encountering a new species: the Rushi. The Rushi are believed to have been granted the power of magic in the form of summons. It is also believed that they hold the task to restoring the world.

I don't want to own this game.

Yeah, I'm a liar. Deal with it.

If you say you don't want this game, then you are a liar...NickN4ck

Maybe they just don't like Final Fantasy.

hahahahaha, so many people posting just so that they can be called a liar by the TC.

oh well, i want this game. its looking good. I know its gonna score really great like almost all numbered FFs, but is it going to be a great Final Fantasy game, we'll see about that.

i want it but icant hget a ps3 cause i have a psp and a ds which i love but i want it so bad

I do not see how any game can rule anything without a SINGLE in game pic, and only CGI coming in heavy dosages

I am sure they can do better than showing CGI ALL the time

isnt that how FF always does it

In-game shots look great too, but in all honesty i am looking more forward to versus. I just hope its not like a X-2 feel.


Adrian_Cloud

I don't want this game. I'm not a liar. Vyse_The_Daring

You're insane then. Come on this is going to be one of the biggest games ever...I can't wait.

FF12 and a few other recent sqaure titles were a big dissapointment for me. I hope this game dosn't continue the trend.Marka1700

FF12 had insane boss fights the last boss had 50 MILLION HEALTH and the graphics still look good even for a ps2 game.

I'm amused by your FF dislike mixed with your Vyse the daring avatar.

Either way, I do want this game, though I expect I'm gonna have to wait a while for it.

He was not the only boss some of the espers were cheap but fun also it had 70 hours of gameplay !!

FF12 is a great game and 13 will destroy all console rpgs, square/enix are digital rpg gods !!

I want Metal Gear Solid 4 WAY MORE

"A new monster that looks like a cross between a turtle and elephant."

If you don't want this game, you are indeed a liar.

So "Lightning" is actually her name? lol, funny. Cloud had a weird name too though but FFVII was the best one. Could this be a sign that FFXIII will be the best one? oooOOO0000

And "Mr. 33cm"... :lol: What an odd name. My mind immediately thinks dirty things about that which makes me jealous. :P

This thread would've been so much better if you didn't poison your topic with fanboyism.DementedDragon

I agree. People would still have responded without the whole "you're a liar if you don't want this game". Just post the pics and the info and wait for responses from people interested in the game. Simple!

Is this the first FF since FFVIII that we see "Siren" (the summon) in?

She had a great cutscene back then even if she did deal little damage. It was pretty cool how you had to get by drawing her from that boss...

Cloud...Lightning...both to do with weather and such...similarity...and by that logic I therefore predict that FFXIII will be as awesome as FFVII.

Seriously though, Squall and Zidane where pretty cool names. Tidus isn't good cause it can easily be manipulated to tightass, and Vann is too close to Van, which is a vehicle, which is just not the right name for a character.

I'm very glad they decided to go with a female lead this time...they must have noticed the constant abuse Vaan got.

Again, the game will look great, now i totally not agree that will "rule them all", not only it is just a one game, but it is a JRPG that has the usual clystophobic gameplay and worlds, definatly not my idea of next gen RPG gaming

It might rule JRPGs on PS3, maybe, because WKC seems a lot more innovative and next gen so far TBH

And DEFINATLY can't own anything right now, since simply we have no damn idea how it looks in game, it might as well not look everyhting PS3 people hype it to, and obviosuly Square keeping its looks secret is not a good thing or indication

I am NOT bashing anything, the TC is bashing ALL RPG's on this planet based on some CGI, that show nothing of the game looks or gameplay

TBH i agree with you, WKS looks to me to be pretty fun gameplay, and, but wasnt there someone saying that it was really dissapointing a few months back, like battling as the actual white knight? I cant remember, but I hope that game turns out well, it also looks beautiful, almost an Eternal Sonata kind of charm.

i hope the personality is there.

Thats what i liked about the characters in FF7 and FF8 the characters were cool.....well every except cloud. jg4xchamp

I really liked Zidane. Him and Zell were probably thefunniest/coolest FF characters. Seifer was awesome too.

I agree, the characters were great back then. FFXII had awful characters...FFX's weren't great either, hope that doesn't happen again.
