It has all of the FF heros in
Tidus too :lovedup:

[rayheartbliss]

interesting!

i dont like that cover either!

[Scarlett.]

In Dissidia, there is an ongoing conflict between two gods: Chaos, the god of dischord, and Cosmos, the goddess of harmony. The two forces of dark and light have been held in balance as villains and heroes fight each other. However, Chaos now seeks to tip the balance of power, and has summoned a number of villains from other Final Fantasy games to take control of a series of Crystals, giving them the ability to overthrow Cosmos. In retaliation, Cosmos has summoned eleven heroes to defeat Chaos' villains and protect the Crystals from evil.



For some reason they chose Jecht as the villain from X

Lulu#s a better character, that character pulled off stoic well while Paine was just dull.

[Big_Brutta]

Lulu & Paine were both gothic characters lol.
But I prefer Lulu, purely because of her character design(excessive belts)....and also her breasts. :tongue:

[rayheartbliss]

XD

[Scarlett.]

Im dat evil!


an u no dat am toxik!

[Tom4784]

Can y'all remember Dissidia? the FF fighting game? the first secret character's been announced it's a character from FF11 called Shantotto, it's a tiny little magic user. A second secret character from FFXII has been confirmed by nobody knows who it is, It's probably Vaan but some people think it could be Ashe.

[Novo]

Oaka should be a secret character

[Big_Brutta]

Please I do hope to god it's not Vaan. I mean, FFXII doesn't deserve to be in Dissidia!

[Tom4784]

Oh and there's definately NOT gonna be an FFXIII characters as the creator said he wanted the characters to be indentifable from their own game and not Dissidia.

[Tom4784]

I've had a thought, I reckon the XII character is gonna be a villain since Shantotto is a hero and Xi has no villain representing it so maybe it'll be the opposite for XII?

My second theory is that it'll be Ashe since there's a lack of female characters and since Ashe uses a sword (I think, never played the game, only seen pictures) it'll make her unique as the rest of the females are magic users.

[Damaris]

Does anyone know when FF7 will be released on 360?

[Scarlett.]

They're releasing it on the 360 O_O

[Novo]

i hope not

[Big_Brutta]

They should focus on making new games, not dwell in the past.

[Damaris]

Apparently they are remaking it. :bored:

[Scarlett.]

Hmm....not too sure about it

[Damaris]

They shouldnt try to fix something thats not broken.

[Scarlett.]

Aye :\

[Damaris]

:sad:

[Scarlett.]

Though if they kept it like the original and didnt overhaul the combat system...

[Damaris]

The Final Fantasy thread should be thread of the year.

Lol.

Everyone should vote for it :hugesmile:

[Damaris]

Originally posted by Chewy

If they kept it exactly the same but just made the graphics amazing and put voices on. :thumbs:

[Novo]

I don't think any of the FF7 spin offs have been bad though

Advent children Was a Brilliant Movie and A Good story related well with the game Crisis core is the best game i have ever played on the psp it could not have been made better dirge of cerberus was very good as well and was interesting to follow vincent's story

[Scarlett.]

So maybe they might do good :3

[rayheartbliss]

advent children was kick ass, but i thought it was too short!

[Novo]

Originally posted by rayheartbliss

Naaa

it was the right length

they added all the main aspects

[rayheartbliss]

well..i thought it wasnt enough! ^.^

[Tom4784]

There's always been whispers of an FF7 remake, I think it'll be done one day but It'd probably be exclusive to the playstation. If they did do a remake I'd say keep all the gameplay aspects of it just redo the graphics and animations and such.

[Damaris]

I love Tifa :flowers:

[rayheartbliss]

i love......food

[Damaris]

LOL. :lovedup:

[rayheartbliss]

:P

[Damaris]

This thread is dead today. :shrug:

[Scarlett.]

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......YUNA!

[rayheartbliss]

errrrrrrr........LULU!

[Scarlett.]

Rikku :eureka:

[rayheartbliss]

moogle!!! :D

[Tom4784]

Apparently the FF12 character from Dissidia has been confirmed to be a character called Gabranth.

[Big_Brutta]

Lol, whose Gabranth again? o.o

[Novo]

he was the main judge i think

[Tom4784]

I've found a youtube page with a fair few gameplay videos of Dissidia, at the moment there's a lot of Squall/Cloud/Zidane/Tidus videos on youtube but They'll diversify soon I bet.

http://uk.youtube.com/user/IrrelevantAlex

My first thought that it seemed a bit repetitive but apparently nobody knows how to play it too well since it's in japanese. I think it looks brilliant though, apparently twice as much dialogue has been recorded for it then Crisis Core was. Also each character's story is said to be around 2-3 hours long and there's 22 characters to play as...I'm gonna be playing this game for ages when it's out! :thumbs2:

[Tom4784]

I think I murderised the thread.

[rayheartbliss]

lOl

[Damaris]

So whos the best final fantasy character ever?


Id say Tifa,Selphie or Yuffie.

And Tidus and yuna obv :cheer2:

Too many lol.

[LemonJam]

My fave two characters are probably Freya (IX) and Balthier (XII)

[Tom4784]

I'd say Terra, Vincent, Locke, Squall, Zack, Vivi, Yuna, Tidus, Lulu and TOBLI!!!!

[rayheartbliss]

i think vincet is the best character they ever made
but personality wise, yuna is their best

[rayheartbliss]

this thread is slowly dying! :(
they betta release the new game fast so we have something to chat about! ^_^

[Novo]

Am playing Lost odyssey on the 360 at the minute from the creator of final fantasy

'FFXIII' won't reach Europe until 2010
Friday, January 16 2009, 14:40 GMT

By Matthew Reynolds


Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy XIII won't see a European release until 2010.

Square Enix president Yoichi Wada said that both European and North American releases of the eagerly-awaited RPG won't arrive before April 2010, according to The Guardian.

The PS3-exclusive Japanese version will be released by the end of the year, whereas the Western release will be available on both PS3 and Xbox 360.

The last iteration in the series, FFXII, was released for the PS2 in 2007

[Damaris]

Omg.

I need it now.

[Tom4784]

There's been a new trailer released on the official site which shows actual gameplay. The new system looks very promising. It's turn based again and the fights look better then ever. Look it up, remember as of now it's only available from the official site.

[Damaris]

Ill look it up now.

[Tom4784]

I bought Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings for the DS a few days back, I haven't played it yet though sicne I'm trying to complete FF3 first. Hopefully there's soem sort of catch up feature for people weho never played XII.

[Novo]

I've never played FF RW

Ive only recently completed XII

[Tom4784]

I heard that XII wasn't great but RW was on sale so I thought what the hell? I'll probably give my 2p on it later. I want FF6 for the GBA but the price everywhere for it is shocking.

suppose it's not the same as playing it on a Psx Or GBA

Yeah I was playing one around me mate's house but I couldn't get into it. I think I'll look on some shopping sites, If I manage to get one cheap then I think it would rarely leave my GBA slot of my DS.

I love FF6.

He was great, Terra was a favourite of mine along with Edgar. I liked how it didn't really have a central character (Okay it was probably Terra but she's not in it for half the game lol).

I'd love to see a full blown remake of it on the Xbox or the PS3. It was one of the best FF's, up there with 7 and X.

That would be heaven

FF6 on the 360

I which they'd just hurry up and remake 6 or 7 i dont mind which one

[Blink_Me]

FF6 is amazing, probably my best to be honest. FF10 comes close, but FF6 is brilliant.

[Tom4784]

I wonder really why they haven't remade any of the more recent FF's? (Like 6-8? 9 is too recent) there's a massive demand for it, they'd rake it in as long as they don't change too much (Keep everything the same apart from better graphics and voicework).

I can see FF6 being remade on the DS before long though as I think FF5's being remade on it.

[Novo]

I Need a PSX emulator I want to play FF Tactics the PSX version and grandia

[Tom4784]

I never played FF Tactics, I was gonna get it for the psp but I never got round to it. I played the GBA tactics and A2 for the DS though, they're cool.

Never played the original Grandia either, I've got the sequel for the PC though which is great.

FF13's multiplatform, although unfortunately XII Versus isn't. But I'll have a Ps3 by the tiem that comes out so it'll be peachy.

Preview: Final Fantasy XIII Japanese demo

Final Fantasy. One that's not a PS2 game. Going into my PS3. Finally.

Well, not finally finally. It's not the full game yet. We're talking about the Final Fantasy XIII demo packaged in with the Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete Blu-ray package, which was just released in Japan this week. We've put the demo through its paces several times now, and we're ready to talk about it a bit.

So get ready for more weather-based names and swords and guns. And wispy hair. And birds that live in afros. Or is that one new?

Hit the jump to read our preview of Final Fantasy XIII.

Final Fantasy XIII Japanese demo (PS3, Japan only)
Developer: Square Enix
Publisher: Square Enix
To be released: Beats me
Price: Too much to import!

First off, and you should expect this from Square Enix by now, the demo starts off with a pretty lengthy cutscene. I mean, it's the series' Blu-ray debut, and they want to show off that fancy 1080p footage, right? Well, in case you're wondering, that opening cutscene looks absolutely phenomenal. It's beautiful in high-definition. The web clips you've seen do it no justice, and even the final, super-polished version of Advent Children on Blu-ray that this is packaged alongside it does not look as good as the Final Fantasy XIII opening.

You'll be pleased to know that the opening video is also quite entertaining, though it doesn't give us much more than fast-paced action scenes. It sets the stage for what seems to be a war between two races of beings. Visually, Square Enix lets the cat out of the bag, giving us a really good idea of what the final game will look like. But as far as the story goes, very little dialogue and background detail really limit what we know about the storyline. It's just enough to give players a taste of what to expect, much like the last few Final Fantasy demos released.

The game starts with scenes of a futuristic train gliding along tracks, with prisoners bound inside under heavy guard. Our heroes manage to break free and go up against the guards (who look like characters straight from Killzone 2), and this is where we get our first glimpse of Lightning, our pink-haired heroine. Oh, and Sazh, our afro-sporting friend of baby chocobos and supposed source of comic relief. Lightning kicks off some kind of sparkly superpower, does some fantastic flips, and manages to take down all of the guards. The train continues on and we get our first glimpse of a floating city, where spaceships buzz above and war goes all around. The whole scene reminds me of a futuristic Final Fantasy VII opening, but with the black guy looking way more wimpy this time around.

Here is where the demo transitions to a real-time graphical engine from the movie, as Sazh crawls out of the wrecked train and goes up against some long-tailed, train-crashing robo-beast. While not as beautiful as the Blu-ray footage, the in-game engine still impresses. The characters' faces are smooth and detailed, and the shine on the enemy looks real. This is one of the better looking things I've seen coming out of my PS3, and this is just a demo! This first battle serves as the tutorial for the demo. You'll take control of Lightning while Sazh takes on a support role.

The battle system is a new kind of adaptation of the Active Time Battles from the older series games. Enemies will attack you in real time, and you'll respond in almost-real time with the attacks given to you in a menu. Each attack is given a cost number, which corresponds to a segmented meter that is constantly recharging. When the meter's three segments are full, you can execute any combination of attack commands at any time you'd like, just as long as the cost isn't greater than the amount of segments you have left in the meter. For instance, you can select a chain of regular attack, fire, and a launch attack, each costing one point on the meter. The three execute in succession when you hit the triangle button. Or you can select a bigger attack that costs the three points for the one move. Or, if it looks like the enemy has very little hit points left, you can just select one hit, costing only one point, to finish him off quickly.

'll admit that I didn't think there was much to this battle system at first. Selecting attacks and watching them execute? That seems pretty boring on the surface, not to mention totally lacking in strategy. There had to be something more to this, right? It took me awhile to appreciate how simple and elegant the system could become, though. Some of it came together when I first hit an enemy soldier in the sky and then beat the hell out of him on the way down. That was fun.

Timing is key. Sure, you could mindlessly select attacks to execute, taking down enemies hit after hit. But things start to click when you see how attacks can be chained. All of the commands seem to move into each other, and if you're watching the action bars of the other party members, you can gauge when they'll be ready to attack. When done right, you'll line up multiple attacks in a row. The goal here is to cause the enemy to glow red, which means that they're more susceptible to attacks. Once they are red, be sure to hit them with a launch attack, which will launch them in the air and leave them ready to be finished off. A chain counter at the top right of the screen counts your successful chains, and a post-battle ranking system rates you on how well you performed in the fight. As I said before, it's simple and elegant, and I can see how full-on battles with spells and techniques and such would be really fun.

The demo continues on with Lightning and Sazh taking down this training boss, fighting a string of battles with low-level soldiers, and then working their way across a bridge to a first boss. There are no random encounters, though. You'll physically run into mobile enemies, transition into a fight screen, and then do your thing. In running across the bridge, there are some hotspots, represented by a ring of light. Having Lightning step on these causes her to jump across obstacles. Otherwise, you're just controlling her movement and the camera with the analog sticks.

he first boss, basically a beefed-up solider with a spear, provided a bit of a challenge, but it was here that I first started to appreciate the chaining of attack commands. These battles are fast-moving, and you start to fall into this pace of watching everything happening on-screen and then making your move at the best time. Enjoyable is the word that first comes to mind. The battle system is not completely new, but somehow it manages to be fresh and interesting. On the flip side, I could see where a lack of explanation or exploration would have gamers thinking that the battle system is quite dull.

As the demo continues, you take control of another character, the charismatic blonde guy named Snow. He and two other party members, a sexy gun-toting female (the next Rikku, mark my words) and a red-headed brute, seem to be members of some resistance force. As you'd guess by his name, Snow uses ice attacks, replacing Lightning's fire ones. They also work across a bridge-like scene, taking down similar soldier-type enemies, all leading to a final boss named Behemoth. Even with three party members, this beast is a bit of a challenge, especially if you don't have the whole chaining system down. When you do take him down, the demo ends.

Presentation-wise, I was extremely impressed. Aside from the amazing video we mentioned earlier, the graphics, design, and art are also very good. While some of the enemies look like good ol' Final Fantasy enemies (robo-felines, faceless foot troopers), the main characters themselves seem to stand out. Unlike Final Fantasy XII, this looks like a cast I would be interested in following. This is our first time seeing Final Fantasy in high-definition, and it's just about everything I expected it would be. The game's world has a shine and polish, and even the enemy character models impress from a technical standpoint. And the musical score is already ramping up to be something special. The title screen song is breathtaking, and the ones that follow in battle are orchestrated and lively, and definitely mark a new turn for Final Fantasy music. I can't wait to hear the rest of it.

Aside from the battles, the demo itself isn't much more than a barely interactive slideshow of what to expect in the final game. About half of your time is spent watching cutscenes, and the other half fighting those low-level enemies. In all, it's about an hour's worth of game play. It's not worth buying, but definitely worth trying. I guess the best thing I can say about the Final Fantasy XIII demo is that I've played it several times, and I'm pretty excited to see the rest now. I just know they're holding the best stuff back.

It's probably too early to call, but I'm already expecting great things. The lack of...well, everything in the demo poses lots of questions, though. Where are the techniques and specials? How do you level up? Where the hell is my victory music? We won't know until 2010.

Look, if you hate RPGs, you're really going to hate this. But for Final Fantasy fans, I think this is something to look forward to. But what do I know? I liked Final Fantasy VIII.

According to Media Create (via Kotaku), the PS3 saw an increase in sales last week thanks to the release of Final Fantasy XIII demo that was packed with the Blu-ray release of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete.

The Playstation 3 managed to sell 62,527 units from April 13-19 in Japan. The week before, Sony sold 16,701 consoles.

[andyman]

I have a PS3!!! Woohoo!

Ahhhh ff7 for the ps1 back in 1997, pukka bliss.

[Tom4784]

ATM I'm more intrigued about FFXII versus. I do like the look of XII though. There's also been a new trailer of XII Agito Released which shows gamepaly footage. It looks intriguing but I'm not too bothered about it for the moment.

[Tom4784]

A FFIV sequel is being made. It's called FFIV: The After Years. It's for the Wii, it's gonna be distributed online in episodic format and it has Retro graphics. I quite like FF4 so I'm intrigued by it. I just hope they'll eventually release all the episodes together on Wii disc or DS cartridge or both. There's a trailer up on Gamespot.

The first episode is out next month.

All-New, Old-School Final Fantasy Announced for DS

sick of angsty amnesiac twentysomethings with lots of giant zippers on their clothes and haunted pasts getting in the way of your medieval fantasy role-playing games? Then you are the target audience for Square Enix’s latest Final Fantasy.

Another Final Fantasy, you say? On the Nintendo DS, you say? Impossible! And yet it is true: Square Enix has announced Four Warriors of Light: Final Fantasy Gaiden via a teaser website and the Japanese comic magazine Shonen Jump. We’re not going to reprint the magazine scans (possible NSFW pop-ups), but there’s a good deal we can glean from Jump’s coverage.

Four Warriors of Light takes Final Fantasy back to the old school. As a 14-year-old boy, you’re tasked by the king of your tiny hamlet to go off and rescue the princess, a classic videogame story if ever there was one. You’ll eventually form a party of two boys and two girls, who will go off and save the world.

The gameplay system is also in the classic turn-based style. The menus seem to have been designed around the DS’ touch screen — each character’s list of possible actions looks like a tabbed browser window, which should make flipping between them quite easy.

The Jump article, stingy with details as it is, notes that there is no “Magic” command in the menu, but there is a “Charge” command. In the status screen, we can see that characters seem to have “AP” instead of magic points, which is represented by a row of yellow dots. Since each action in the menu, including “Fight,” has a yellow dot next to it, the system seems to be that you spend AP whenever you do anything, and you can spend a round charging it up if you need more.

You can equip swords, shields, armor, and accessories, and just like in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, your 3-D character’s outward appearance will change to reflect what you’re packin’.

Speaking of which, while the game seems to use the same 3-D engine that’s already taken Square Enix safely through numerous Final Fantasy adventures on the Nintendo DS, the colors seem a bit more painting-like, maybe a little softer and muted. I think it’s a more pleasing look, a nice contrast to the sharper colors and characters of the other games.

Four Warriors of Light, from what we can see today, is as close as Square Enix has ever gotten to creating a new Final Fantasy in the classic tradition, completely from scratch. I’m quite interested to see how this plays out, since I’m more of a fan of the DS remakes now than I am of the brand new games in the series.

It’s slated for release this fall in Japan. I’m sure the bankable brand name alone is enough to secure it an American release in 2010.

[Tom4784]

I'm very interested in it, but I wanna see some gameplay and more about it first. But at the moment my mind's honed squarely upon Dissidia, It's being released 5th September!!

[Novo]

At the minute am playing FF tactics war off the lions off PSP

[Novo]

As American Final Fantasy fans tap their feet impatiently for the release of Dissidia: Final Fantasy, it has been made known that their hunger can be satiated with a demo, scheduled to hit the PSN on July 23.

Dissidia is pure fan service, as the most famous heroes of the Final Fantasy series face off against the most iconic villains ... and Jecht. Think of it as Super Smash Bros. for those who love floppy hair and angst-ridden, androgynous boy-heroes who learn a valuable lesson about friends and trust by the third disc. It's probably going to be really, really good.

[TheOfficialAdam]

I love the idea of the DS version, the fact its going back to old style gameplay and story line, i just love that. Like most FF fans im more into the older ones, who can forget their first run through of FF7/8/9. Bliss

I love FF4 i'd love there to be a remake off it

There's a very good DS remake out of it.

I downloaded the Dissidia Demo on my PSP today, It's weird to get used to but when you get used to it it's a lot of fun. I can't wait until September now.

A video review of Dissidia from IGN.

[Novo]

It looks like some TGS content is getting leaked after all. These screens from Final Fantasy XIII’s TGS trailer show some of the first images of Snow’s significant other, Serah.

With the game’s release only months away, we’re pretty much guaranteed to see a wave of new characters from the title once the Tokyo Game Show gets underway. But for now, check out Serah below and let us know what you think of her

[Tom4784]

She's one of the last playable characters If I remember right, I think the only left to be revealed is Sazh's son. The japanese release date's been announced too, 17th December.

In other FF news I'm still waiting on Dissidia, I ordered it from play and it hasn't come yet. :bawling:

[Damaris]

Oh i love this thread.

The new Final Fantasy looks amazing! im so excited.

Thanks! :hugesmile:

I'm not sure about XIII, if it was just XIII, it'd be great, but they're making 2 other XIII games and a bunch of other FF games

[Tom4784]

Thanks! :hugesmile:

They aren't related though, you won't need to play them all to get the full story as each is it's wn independant game. I'm really looking foward to FF13 and Versus.

Anyone got Dissidia yet? my delivery's been delayed until Next monday - Wednesday.

[Scarlett.]

I know, but it all seems so mass produced nowadays

[Tom4784]

I know what you mean, I'm not keen on the look of the FF13 game for the PSP but if I'm honest I'm looking foward to Versus more then FFXIII itself. :hugesmile:

DISSIDIA CAME IN THE POST TODAY! It's amazing, if you have a psp GET IT. I think at the moment my favourite characters are Terra and Squall.

[Damaris]

I WANT DISSIDIA NOW

[Tom4784]

I WANT DISSIDIA NOW

I've found a cool little feature in Dissidia, You can save any fight you have and then edit it later to make it look more cinematic. I quite like it, Here's one I've done.

You hunt for nazi gold and teach kids how easy it is to just look things up for yourself on that thing called Google, rather than ask questions in an online forum.

That actually doesnt look half bad :D

They're kinda like films you play in a way, you control a bunch of characters and you've got to complete a goal.

Try playing one and see

I'd start with FF7 but i'd doubt you would get past The Guard Scorpion

****,final fantasy is far above you.

Yeah, even Final Fantasy II makes more sense than you. And Final Fantasy II made no ****ing sense whatsoever.

[Tom4784]

This game sounds dumb, "Dark scorpian"? WTF.

Pot kettle black my friend.

The narrative in these games is excellent, the story is often on par with most films and TV shows. But if that sounds 'dumb' you can always go play...Hannah Montana or something. It does sound like it's more on your level.

You aren't a gamer, so you don't understand gamer mentality. You slag off Final Fantasy without good reason, prepare for the backlash.

Aye, I just get really bored and go back to I, IV, V, VII, IX and XII (Roman numerals are fun =D)

Can't wait til XIII comes out. =D

I was hoping for the Simple cover like the rest of the series with just the name and the Symbol of the game

[Tom4784]

Digispy described it well, it's liek a compromise between the normal style and the american style where they have the characters on.
