    Default Final Fantasy XIII

    Anyone anticipating this game?
    http://images.google.com/images?q=Fi...mages&ct=title

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIII

    I read in Games(tm) magazine that Square Enix is planning to implement some new concepts and ideas into this game never before seen in the previous FF games, including a new battle system. And looking at the sample images, I think so far FFXIII would have the most realistic character design quality ever (not including Final Fantasy Spirits Within movie of course which had the best 3D graphics quality in person design which has yet to be matched by anything else.)

    Also Square Enix, I hear, is planning to release FFXIII for not just the PS3 platform, but also for the XBox 360 and perhaps the WII and PSP too.

    And speaking about FFXIII, wtf is wrong with PS3 prices?

    In the UK the 60gig version is approx. 400 GBP while in the US its $600 approx.

    Now with the latest currency rate, 1 GBP = $2, so the UK price converted to dollars is 800 bucks. Then looking at the cheapest Euro price on amazon.de its equivilant to about 840 USD.

    Of course, the prices are too high.

    I am gonna wait for the price to drop some more. But since I live in the UK, I need the Euro Pal format, can't use US NTSC.

    If only the PS3 US and the PS3 Euro shared the same format (NTSC or Pal).

    Actually, Square Enix was fully confirmed that XIII and Versus XIII WILL be a PS3 exclusive, just Metal Gear Solid 4. I actually trust their words, judging from previous interviews. Yes, the PS3 is lagging in sales due to the price and the Wii is doing really well. However, the PS3 is actually doing better than 360 in Japan if I'm not mistaken, due to the games.

    About FFXIII, in the magazine Games(TM) number 56, an interview with Director Motomu Toriyama has stated that there will be at least 3 different titles expanded from the World Setting of the main FFXIII game, and that it will branch accross the PS3 and mobiles...

    But I think they paused the plan for XBox 360 and WII development which is sad really. But still I can't wait for the game to come out.

    FF13 is the only game right now which I might even consider buying the PS3 for.

    7 core and blue ray?

    Still not worth it at the moment, I'm still paying my university fees and I wont get another contract with any UN organizations till the beginning of next year.

    I already have a nice quadcore processor that outperforms the Cell processor (Q6600 oc'd to 2.7 ghz), thank you very much. And I rather like my GTX 8800.

    Considering a blu ray player by itself costs WAY MORE than a PS3, it is very worth it for me.

    Yeah, but I think I'll wait to see who wins the Hi-Def war between HD-DVD and Blu-ray first.

    I think (although I'm not sure) Blu-ray has more support out of the Big Six film production companies. Also, Blu-ray has a technological advantage being able to store more data. Also, Blu-ray is available more widely.

    Blu-ray also costs more, and that's a big factor. This media war might last a while.

    And there is already rumors about development of 200gb blue-ray discs (so if those come out before the media wars end, what will happen to current blue-ray drives)

    And people are researching into some terabyte protein coated discs....1 disc alone could store every data I have on my hds and dvd backups.

    Red is Dead, go True Blu


    what's the attraction with Final Fantasy?
    Is it the cinematic story? is it the pretty toons?
    surely it can't be the combat system because turn-based combat is so archaic

    a pretty common statement for someone who hasn't touched the game and already passed judgment
