TGS 2009: Impressions: Final Fantasy Versus XIII

I think they're trying to boost XIII media hype, more than versus though. It would make more sense because they can get more sales In North America and Europe from XIII. but It's two different development groups right. Versus being the guys who were behind VII and Kingdom Hearts. So, that will most likely be the better game, and if not the better story. I think Versus is going to be their baby, while XIII is going to be they're money maker which they can abuse. Which is why we won't have heard much.

fawesome.

I'm finding it difficult to care about XIII, I really don't like the style of the universe, and this one looks even worse. I can definitely see who they're trying to appeal to with this game, and I hate to beat a dead horse, but the whole black leather, belts and zipper thing really doesn't do it for me. It looks *ridiculous*.

I'm honestly a lot more excited about Crystal Bearers, which is a lot closer to the direction the FF games should be going in. In my opinion.

character designs are hideous for Versus XIII. Now I know what people are complaining about when people talk about Nomura designs. The screens showed so far were just so generic, anime looking I find it hard to believe it's going to make it into the game at all.

I'm trying to figure out if "father" in the last sentence is supposed to be a hint at the storyline or something... some sort of oedipus complex, perhaps?

If this game plays like Kingdom Hearts, I will absolutely, positively gonna have to skip it.Well, I'll be too busy with FFXIII & FFXIV to worry about it.

Has this franchise surpassed Street fighter for having the most sequels and spin off and versions for a video game?

Man, Squeenix, I can't wait for the game, but this closed theater BS needs to stop. >< What's the point of it, if it's a public event?

In any case, I'm still really excited for vXIII. The extended trailer that popped up a while ago was just... Amazing. If nothing else, I will get this game just to hear Shimomura's music in the situations they were meant to be heard, but if the battle system is as good as we're hoping...

Personally, since I've seen the first trailer for Versus XIII, I've been more excited for this one than XIII. I have enjoyed Nomura's games to the point of being a fanboy, but a dark, dramatic Final Fantasy? Yes please.

A FF with a love story are the best ones...and FFv13 looks like theres some chemistry btw Emo boy and that one chick..or they might be brother and sister ones bad ones good.

Or you can just admit the PS3 is a good purchase and buy one, Sprinkles

Out of curiosity I have never really read anything about FF versus XIII... Can anyone here explain to me what exactly it is?

Is it just a side story to whatever will be the main story in FFXIII? Or will it be something different?

I am definitely going to be getting FFXIII but I have absolutely no idea if I want versus.

i'm just glad that they finally dropped the price, so now i can get a PS3 AND not miss out on FF13 Versus.

i used to care about the gameplay to be back like the old school game style now i really dont care because at the end u get the hang of it and u end up liking it!

end of story cant wait for FFXIII jp version and then FFXIV and see how that gose if not i keep playing FFXI.

i aguess noting on TGS about agito not untel next TGS

FF Versus XIII looks absolutely incredible. That's definitely a pre-order for me =]

This may sound insignificant but I hope in the English version they actually re-animate the characters mouths during the CG cutscenes and don't just dub over it with English dialogue like in Advent Children. That pissed me off throughout the entire movie and just ruined it for me.. :/

FFXIII will be a good game I'm sure but, ever since I saw the first trailer for Versus XIII I have been salivating all over my keyboard for it. You play as a dude in all black leather with bluish/silver hair and red glowing eyes who wields not one but like 13 swords that also act as a shield and go all transparent. Folks, it doesn't get anymore bad ass than that and being so closely tied to Nomura and kingdom hearts es cue style I absolutely am taking a week off when this game launches to thoroughly whoop its ass =)

I think that they should make a part of the Crystlis Novas project thing a more medival-like scene. It would be interesting to know that a part of their world could be so much different than the regualr FFXIII and Versus, it would kick ass!! That and seeing the scenery and style of everything in the beautiful CGI of this generation...would be awesome.

Alright so, my hype for XIII and Versys XIII are about the same. I honestly kind of get tired talking about how much better than Final Fantasy Versus 13 is going to be way better. We know next to nothing about it. I will enjoy the dark theme of the game, but a cool guy in black leather with a bunch of swords doesn't cut it for me. I am not a huge fan of Hack And slash shooter, which is what this game is said to be, but i know i will still play it. For me, Everyone said oh play Final Fantasy 7! Its the best,, and when i did, WOW BIGGEST DISAPOINTMENT EVER. I had the hardest time just completeing the first disk of the game, because it was SO BORING! Another example would be Dirge of Cerberous. All of that looked really good to me, the cinematics were fantastic, and the gameplay looked solid, but when i got it, it was not nearly as good. So i mean, with 13 i can see everything i need to know about the game for now, and my hype is immense and the game looks fantastic, and my hype for this game is high to, but it may not be as great as everything says it to be. Its not even a main title, it is a spin off title. Just, Noctis, yeah i guess he looks cool, but he also looks like every other emo anime guy out there, such as Sasuke from Naruto. And cool, he has a bunch of blades, still doesn't do much for me. The story looks wel, i don't know because nothing has really been revealed. At the end of the day, games can be decieving. I won't let a bunch of flashy CG and typical lead character traits make me more excited for this game, but a lot of my hope does go out to this game, seeing as how i REALLY want this game to be good. I also wish people would Bring up Agito a bit more to, because i am really excited to see how that game turns out. I don't mind the modern day setups in FF13 anf FF v 13, but i wish they would make a medievil game to. I would fall in love with that. Anyways, i just wish people would stop making Versus 13 sound like god, when it could be nothing more than okay.
