So you want to see Final Fantasy XIII in action?

by Andrew Yoon on Apr 15th 2009 10:00AM

The Final Fantasy XIII demo has now been captured -- in full -- and placed on YouTube. Grab a controller and pretend you're playing the game! The videos highlight Square Enix's amazing CG, some real-time gameplay and a few terrific tunes. Obviously there are some spoilers, but for those who simply cannot wait until 2010, this is a very comprehensive first look at the game.

Check out the videos after the break.

Is this really the entire demo? I doubt it, since its so short and just sort of ends without even an ending boss fight.

lol chocoafro.

I'm 50-50 on this, FFVII was hands down one of the best rpg ever made while FFVIII was still really good, IX I didnt like very much but i bent over for square anyway, X was amazing, X-2 was redicouls, XI was great for the first few years, XII was retarded the party was planning a serious attack and then you get vaan and panielo(or w/e her name was) playing in the sand box.

I'm tired of lame FF games i hope this one brings me back, (oh btw crystal cronicals dosent count as a real FF game D:)

...miles...

uh huh

Seems reminiscent of FFX. Which I like.

sigh....

The past FF had their goods and their bads ... every FF is memorable because it had new features or stuff never done before (FF6 for the system and the story, FF7 for the FMV, story ...and so on)..., some people liked them, some don't (i hate the gambit system of FFXII, it's an Online game wannabe), that's why square is the leading company on the RPG market from a long time, for giving new stuff and using old one to make a good game, (Dragon Quests fans ....i'm not gonna go that way)

FFXIII, for what i see the system is gonna be combo like and turn based... but i can't really know for sure because it's on japanese (still learning ) and because the DEMO covers a small part of the game...we still don't know how the summons (or whatever is called now) are gonna work, and i bet there is more of gameplay we don't know ... no wonder programmers don't want to release demos.... the players start bitching for a piece of game that is not even done yet! ...

I played RPG's on board games ....are fun because u play with friends... but now is hard to get together to play .... and for that videogames are the best idea to keep playing with my friends (thanx WOW) ... idk if the game is based on turns or if its action based (for that we have KH) ...if the game is damn fun and represents a good challenge (...old school gamer ) ...i'll play it...
