Welcome to Gaia! ::

another ruined game i guess -_-

So this just made me pretty happy!! lol
I want to see how the sequel to XIII turns out. I didn't think it would be possible. Lightning's new outfit is quite interesting.

FF Versus does have the Kingdom Hearts feel, battle-wise.

And what was Agito seems really cool. I like the fact that there are different playable characters, and you're not limited to just a sword.

I kinda want all three sweatdrop

Well the trailers got blocked...um, I'll try to find them again, heh.

*mind blown*

That was my response when I was just toodling around Final Fantasy Wiki, mainly looking up any new stuff on Duo Decim and Versus, and I saw this strange new logo on the pictures side. As I looked closer I notice it's a sequel logo (hence the 2 in it) and a XIII becomes apparent. I clicked on it as fast as possible and hey it's got Lightning on it. At first I thought it was some type of sophisticated joke but then I clicked on the article and apparently they officially announced it the 18th. Personally I'm excited, but then again I'm almost always optimistic about these kinds of things and still look at the good side of X-2 as a serious plus (I mean c'mon that battle system was pretty awesome). I'm interested to see how they can advance the battle system even more (please, please take out the death counters) and also the new guy is intriguing (the guy on the logo, who they say kinda plays a foil to Lightning). Maybe a potential love interest, hmmm?

As far as Versus, I did some research before the January convention thingy where they announced all this stuff, and of course its been talked about forever. Still looking pretty cool, I just wish they'd hurry it up (I read somewhere that they aren't too optimistic about a 2011 release but they may be able to bump it up to fall).

I hadn't heard a lot about Type-0 (previously Agito) because it was originally supposed to just be a mobile game, but from what I can tell on Final Fantasy Wiki, it looks pretty cool (wow, though they are really cranking out games like crazy, Birth by Sleep came out a while ago, Re:Coded just came out, Duo Decim is due in March, and now this game has supposidly a summer release data). Definitly interested, but I need to get more information out.

*mind is still blown*

Ahaaaaaa, Type-0 is Agito. That explains a lot. Except for why they changed it after so long.

Yeah, XIII-2... Death, Sailor Cancer, as much as I totally love Fang and Vanille, I'm sorry, I would hate it if they were in XIII-2 without a really good reason. Heroic Sacrifices feel meaningless if they lose the whole "sacrifice" part. Lightning does indeed look amazing, though. I'll just say that I really, really hope this game is a good idea. I agree, chances are, at least parts of it'll be good. I liked the battle system in X-2, too. smile

The person on the logo? Thought it was a girl. Don't make that mistake very often anymore. He actually looks pretty similar to Lightning herself in the logo, to me. And I hope it's not a love interest, actually; I really liked how XIII had romance, but not involving the main character. It was different.

Here's a trailer that's at least up as of my posting this (obviously), and it's on the ~new~ official website. It does actually look pretty awesome, though it might just be my optimism talking. I did have a total Balmung moment around 1:00, though.

And it's going to be released this year? Wow. Square-Enix has some really messed-up views on release dates. xd

Thanks, Ravenwolf!

I posted the trailers for Versus (and it's subbed!) and Type-0, too.

Good neeeeeeeeeews! No Pop Songs for Final Fantasy XIII-2! In case anybody thought differently. smile That article also talks about the story for XIII-2. Notably, "Players will search for a gate to the invisible world called Bunibelle. Etro, a goddess, will be a central character in the story." Also, "Other characters from Final Fantasy XIII will return with major and unexpected changes." That could be either really good or really bad.

Also, I've been thinking, with regards to creating anything, but especially sequels: In general, do you guys think it's better for a company to do everything in a game that players ask for, or to just do what they want to do with it? I ask because I read somewhere else that the main reason they decide to make XIII-2 at all is because people asked for it.
