Final Fantasy XIII unveiled (56k beware)

But whether Final Fantasy Versus XIII is an RPG at all or not is still not clear. And then there is that Agito XIII...

Final Fantasy Versus XIII is probably going to be an action RPG, similar to Kingdom Hearts, after all it's made by the same team. Although, you never really know what they're going to pull next-- so who knows.

The problem with Agito, for me at least, is my phone can't run a game like that. Most American phones don't have the specs needed to run something like that. Maybe I'll get a new phone before then though. ^^

Mobile phones in Japan are very advanced and the Japanese love their multifunctional purposes, including playing games. That is why Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis was a success there. Final Fantasy Agito XIII would probably have a gaming feature that could not be implemented in any other handheld, such as the materia-picture-taking system in Before Crisis.

I too will reserve my comments on this game until it actually has some shots and information having to do directly with the storyline, and the gameplay itself. I find those two aspects to be by far the most important aspects of any good rpg so just a really nice looking screenshot means very little to me. However I am not the least bit surprised that they are making a couple of offshoot games out of Final Fantasy 13, because well nothing wrong with that is there? So long as these games arent lame ducks like their one spin off or off shoot they have already made namely Final Fantasy 10-2. So as long as they keep away from a lame duck style game such as that I dont think there is anything wrong with making another game based off the same type of storyline.

I would also like to say that I am glad that they are finally porting the real Final Fantasy 3 to North America. It will finally put to rest this whole deal about people saying that Final Fantasy 6 is really #3 since the third game will finally be here in North America. Sure that might not be a wide spread deal, but it will put to rest any of those that have actually stuck to their guns on that issue.

Higher resolution of Final Fantasy III, but with the same 8-bit graphic of NES? That would be a steep decline compared to Final Fantasy I + II: Dawn of Souls, don't you think? I do not think that a game with 8-bit graphics would appeal to any gamer nowadays...

Anyway, concerning Final Fantasy XIII, there are some rumors that some following points has been confirmed. Take it with a grain of salt.

- The trailer was rendered in realtime.

- The engine is not built up yet, the are getting to it. The graphics will be much better when release. They will use parallel mapping, AF, Anirof filtering etc.

- You can use 4 characters in battle, and each character have their own specialty.

Each wit htheir own specialty? Good, that means it won't end up as overly customizable as FFX, where Yuna was the only one that could do something that other characters couldn't, aside from overdrives.

Gah, young'ns these days can't appreciate the good nature of 8-bit pixels, I'd play Zelda and Faxanadu on my NES anytime...

But OK, perhaps they should update everything like for I and II to appease the whippersnappers...

I'm sure that the Final Fantasy XIII trailer was rendered in 'real-time' as much as the Killzone trailer was in 'real-time' last year...

But eh, four characters as in just four?

Or four at the same time but you have like, erm eight or six to choose from?

But seriously if it's just four I won't complain, it means more character development time for each...

Suikoden is able to put character development into 108 + characters per game... what's Square-Enix's excuse? I think it will have more than 4 characters, they should have realized that the games with less characters were the less popular ones by now (FFV, FFX2)

Been over a year, so I'm bumping this. I'm so getting XIII and Versus, too bad Agito won't be released in English, or if it does, it'll probably still be mobile, and I have no cell phone.

Why are everyone in my school and the local EB saying that Final Fantasy XIII will be released in the beginning of January? O_o Every site I check, it's still TBA so I have no idea where they get their info.

Probably going by old information. I'm not even sure the demo for the game will be coming out early next year. From what most blog sites are saying the game might not see a release until late 2008 just in time for the holidays next year.
