FFXIII, FFXIII Versus, and the last one I can' t remember... - May 10, 2006 12:54

That' s FFXIII Versus, and am I the ONLY one who can' t see they just re-used the character model of Yazoo from AC (along with a little of Kadaj in there, they tweaked the features a little at least)!? Btw, it' s the AC animators and dev team, so that' s not only highly possible, it' s prolly true.

Possibly, just to crunch out ANY form of image of FFXIII Versus, they decided on making that quickie animation of this character and his mightly blades =/

Anyway, I was more interested in the comments. Interesting to see even some hardcore FF guys commenting on the PS3' s price. I kinda thought they wouldn' t be daunted

Edit: Doesn' t the girl in FFXIII kinda look like...most of the male characters in FF? In a word: she looks ' manly' , as wrong as it sounds. In attempts to make a female main lead, they basically created a male character who finally went the next step =/ She looks like Cloud!

Also, a question on the male love interest (because it' s SqureEnix and they must have love =/), effeminate, love triangle? Looks that way...

...from what i saw on this trailer, the lead character looks like a pretty feminine Japanese girl to me....

...actually, she looks like squal' s younger sister....



...don' t really see anything ' manly' about her....

...what did you think of the trailer anyway?.... ...i thought it was AWESOME! ...it looks like a next-gen version of FFVIII, which if you ask me, was the best FF ever made....

....i found the visuals extremely impressive, and have a growing suspicion PS3 will eclipse 360 graphically far sooner than most expected.... .

....i' m just glad that both FFXIII and vs. XIII won' t be ready for aaaages because it' s gonna be an age before i get my hands on FFXII!...

Love it here too. As much as I bash Sony' s decisions lately, their titles are looking good! The visuals indeed look great, and I personally think it is the future world of the one we saw at FFVIII, though probably not in the literal sense.

I' m just glad that they won' t be ready for ages because I won' t be able to afford a PS3 for ages.

FFVIII was kinda fun, but definitely not the best. I just didn' t get that epic feeling that I got playing FFVII. If the characters weren' t ALL my own age, I think I' d have more respect for them...when I went PAST 16-18 years old, I kinda thought they were stupid in some of their actions =/ Plus, Rinoa is the only female character in history to have dated the enemy *cough*

A revisit to the FFVIII world would be fine, if only they could make it more epic in some ways, and not have a Gackt/River Phoenix-lookalike as the main character with personality to match -.-

Oh, and I mean ' manly' as in she looks more bishounen then essentially bishoujo. Which is good in a way, and yet kinda disturbing =/

...i see bishoujo.... ...especially with the way her hair is done.... ...her face is round also.. ...male faces are normally angular.....

...i think you may be thrown by how she' s this super athletic action type-girl... ...you don' t really see girls doing that in a FF game do you?.....

....in that sense i can see where you' re coming from i suppose... ....but i would guess that any forward, more aggressive female character might seem masculine...

..no?.....

Her face is not really round, and a super athletic action type girl has been around since the dawn of anime - the famous cross-dressing princess who was a lesbian and fought off soldiers on horseback and a rapier; the main female lead in Vision of Escaflowne; Ghost in the Shell; even Seras Victoria in Hellsing is brutal in combat when she' s beserking.

Edit: Lest I forget, the all female cast and quite masculine characters (they' re all freaking tall!) of Silent Mobius

Trust me, the FFXIII girl isn' t doing anything much by anime/manga standards =/ In a sense, her face isn' t exactly round either. It still holds an angular edge, and the slight roundedness is reminscent of the more effeminate spectrum of bishounen (somewhere like Yami no Matsuei' s Hisoka or the Dragon Prince).

Either way, she' s decent, but her face still looks too close to the AC character models of Cloud.

...that' s because she' s not and looks nothing like any sort of man....

....i am rather puzzled why Byakko seems to think different...
