Did she died?
Eh @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:13PM
She died along with your originality.
phr3qu3ncy441 @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:13PM
if she did, i'd have to say that it's the worst trailer anyone could've created... then again, since it's rare they'll throw out something like this in a trailer, one could assume that she doesn't die (which is almost as bad as a spoiler).
it's like making an ff7 trailer and showing aerith's death.
other than that, the game doesn't make the wait for me any better. i've got vacation days lined up for this!
Taylor @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:18PM
After watching the trailer last week, I was pretty surprised that they would show that. I can only hope that if it is true (which would be extremely stupid to spoil that for us), then it better be within the first few hours of gameplay. Please don't be a pivotal part later in the game.
Feras @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:20PM
Omg aerith dies?!?
Freedom Town @ Oct 2nd 2009 1:13PM
"You think you DIE, and everything be suga' and raindows!!!!".
Laugh out loud. What a corny game. What has Final Fantasy become. I hate this new "lets try to have a futuristic political star warsy plot"
Skaz @ Oct 2nd 2009 1:28PM
This guy are sick
JoeTheBlow @ Oct 2nd 2009 1:58PM
Yeah, 5 mins in that gets really spoilerific :-(
Needed less story, more gameplay, and that sweet fighting tune.
Jeff Smith @ Oct 2nd 2009 3:25PM
"it's like making an ff7 trailer and showing aerith's death."
lol, but they did show Aerith dead in the FF7 trailer.
This trailer just seemed like it showed way to much I don't want to know until I play it.
Stackable Ernie @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:09PM
Ah...can't wait for this one!
[Tre (TM), who is forever confused] [blogs at trespeak.tumblr.com] @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:10PM
Come out already, goddangit! I WANT YOU.
modok @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:12PM
is this the official dub?
jynxycat @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:39PM
If you own a Japanese copy, it will be ._.
The US version is dubbed in English.
Unless you mean subtitled. In which case, I believe this is fan based.
jynxycat @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:42PM
wait. this is a newer one with english audio -_- f me.
so, this is the THIRD version to hit the web :|
gmoya90 @ Oct 2nd 2009 5:46PM
i think it is and horrible >.< english dubing is just sad and bad! british and just english voice dont suit the charecters like vanillle and sarah WTF? sadly i already imported instead.
maybe after i finished import i wont care for english dub when it comes out in NA. i just get it.
j.howlett @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:14PM
i want to say i can't wait, but i look at the games i already have to finish, the ones that'll be here soon, and the cost and think i should be ready in spring. don't remind me about god of war.
Mewchu [Super Kawaii Power! ^.^ ] @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:15PM
Seems like after FF8, ALL FF trailers have to start out looking at water with choral music.
Vcize @ Oct 2nd 2009 1:35PM
Glad I'm not the only one who's noticed that..
Huey2k2 @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:15PM
Yup, it looks like Final Fantasy alright.... And I am VERY excited for it.
McWilly @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:16PM
What's with that last scene? Anyone with half a brain can tell she just popped her clogs.
Jawmuncher (PSN & XBL:Jawmuncher) @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:16PM
While I can't wait for this game.
Does anyone else feel like they just beat the game after watching that trailer?
I sure did.
Viking @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:17PM
I thought the "minor" characters had the best dub, the bad guys.
Lightning and Snow was just annoying.
I thought i read somewhere that there would be english lip-sync as well, or is that just wishful thinking?
WPstart @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:21PM
There was english lip-syncing in this trailer. The only scenes without lip-syncing were the CG scenes. I'm actually surprised to see Square go to this much trouble for the english version.
Viking @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:24PM
Ah, maybe that's why I though some scenes were better than others.
Thank you.
Demaar @ Oct 2nd 2009 1:19PM
I hope so. English dubs look SUPER awkward with this quality CG. Though that won't help that the body language is just so Japanese. Everything feels really unnatural. Uncanny valley, I guess?
Rein [Prime Minister of the city-state of New Bjork] @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:25PM
Maybe it's because I just recently saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, but I was really hoping that Mr. T would do Sahz's voice.
Either way, I can't fucking wait for this game. Totally my GOTY 2010.
nriveraexpress @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:25PM
was a bit cheesy even for final fantasy
snowleopard233 @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:35PM
I agree. The sheer sappiness factor of this series caused me to leave for greener RPG pastures *bioware*cough* years ago.
Matt @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:35PM
Wow, the names are stupid in this games . . . Lightning? Snow?
So when this is released in Japan for PS3, will it have an English option like Demons Souls?
Viking @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:54PM
If I remember correctly, They named Lightning after Cloud (weather related shit) in an attempt to give the character some popularity, so they are similar in some ways.
That said, I also think the names are stupid.
Jason Statham (Has a ps3 now) @ Oct 2nd 2009 1:26PM
"Wow, the names are stupid in this games . . . Lightning? Snow? "
So...you've never played a Final Fantasy game before?
Ana @ Oct 2nd 2009 3:26PM
Most of the main heroes since Cloud (I think) have had storm related names. Squall, Tidus. Zidane and Vaan bunk this but maybe they mean something stormish in another language.
Malachi @ Oct 2nd 2009 4:55PM
Squall mean rain if I remember right so you've got the weather thing going there.
Kenoji (aka Neo Asuma) @ Oct 2nd 2009 8:37PM
Actually a squall is wind related, as an increase in wind speed and comes with more active weather, like thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes.
Angel Mass @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:33PM
Gosh
I just hate English dub
jynxycat @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:41PM
Gosh!
Vcize @ Oct 2nd 2009 1:36PM
Darnit!
HighFiveJesus @ Oct 2nd 2009 1:52PM
As opposed to jibberish with words underneath?
Angel Mass @ Oct 4th 2009 8:41PM
I wish America could take the game Dubs a little more seriously. FF loses its charm with this ones, yes I do prefer to hear the Original Japanese voices even if I had to do the extreme breathtaking effort to actually read the subtitles.
bluerei @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:37PM
They did a good job with Lipsyncing and morphing to the audio, but man the dialogue... Do they have to suck out the feeling out of everything? The Japanese dialogue was much more deep and engaging compared to the dumbed down version for American audiences. Feels like they are mocking our intelligence. Some things are better when it's not Americanized for tweens.
rahmenxnoodles69 @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:57PM
Yeah, I wish the English voice actors took it all a little bit more seriously :/
Jason Statham (Has a ps3 now) @ Oct 2nd 2009 1:21PM
"The Japanese dialogue was much more deep and engaging compared to the dumbed down version for American audiences. Feels like they are mocking our intelligence. Some things are better when it's not Americanized for tweens."
I really do like posts like these, mostly because it's fun pointing out when someone has absolutely no idea what they're talking about.
Freedom Town @ Oct 2nd 2009 1:24PM
The dialog and character personality looks just as bad here as it did in FFXII.
Did anyone honestly give a sh^& about the characters or the plot in FFXII? The combat mechanics were awesome (imo) and was the only reason to play the game. The characters were the worst out of any FF game, and I would have fallen asleep if the plot was mapped over to a movie.
This games characters look just as lifeless and boring as the last FF game. Please get back to characters and dialog that you can actually connect to on some level.
freaparn @ Oct 2nd 2009 1:37PM
Heh, agreed. The battle system looks interesting, the CG looks beautiful, the j-pop music I could do without, and every time someone opens their mouth I want to cringe. The ones with accents are probably the worst, but that nasal-toned kid stands out as well. A subtitled Japanese-dialogue version would definitely make the game more compelling...
Ah well, I'm a fairly casual fan when it comes to JRPGs so I can't get too upset. Rent it, turn on the subtitles, and turn down the voice volume.
bobomcgee @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:42PM
WORST
MUSIC
EVER
Randy D @ Oct 2nd 2009 5:36PM
I couldn't make it the whole way through the trailer thanks to that TERRIBLE music. It had this very "American Idolish" sound to it. It made it really hard for me to take it seriously. I'm actually OK with the dubbing though, just because I think this is a quick and dirty job to get this thing out to the fans. I'm pretty sure the final game will be much better localized.
WINterfang @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:42PM
I'm having an array of emotions in here, disappointed in some of the cliche's and voice acting, interested on the characters and the world ( even if it seems like same thing we have saw before), I'm not digging the bad guy haircut, the fighting system looks great and the graphics are amazing.
If this game wasn't coming to the Xbox I would be insanely jealous right now so thanks Microsoft/Squarenix.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:43PM
Damn this can't come out soon enough!!!
This is probably the ONLY thing that will have cut scenes LONGER than MGS4 and NO ONE WILL COMPLAIN or Talk SHIT about this...lol...
Damn I can't wait
WINterfang @ Oct 2nd 2009 12:53PM
Well to be fair MGS4 cut-scene where just boring.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Oct 2nd 2009 1:18PM
I think they were informative as well as dramatic....hell most of the time when on the plane I just drove around the Mk. II/III Watching Sony Cook eggs/play her PSP and getting extra Batteries, food, ammo, etc...
