The english ff13 trailer… made me really sad

3062

You mean this trailer?

Just watched it, I actually didn’t mind the English voices. I think FF voice overs have been done pretty well since they started doing it with X.

As for changing the theme song. Eh, I haven’t really liked the theme songs since Eyes on Me. Melodies of Life was alright, Suteki da ne is meh, X-2 was J-Pop? XI, I don’t think had a main theme but Distant Worlds was surprisingly good. XII’s theme is forgettable.

I’m guessing the reason they changed the theme in XIII is because the singer doesn’t speak English so she couldn’t sing the same song but w/ English lyrics. They could have done what they did with X and just threw the song in anyway but that’s what made X’s theme meh to me. The entire game’s in English, everyone’s speaking English then Tidus and Yuna are swimming in that lake and a Japanese song starts playing. Awkward.

Memoro de la Stono - Distant Worlds is FFXI’s main theme, which is basically the intro movie song + Distant Worlds. Awesome song. Linked to it a page or two back.

3064

I wish JRPGs would do away with theme songs, but that’s just me.

3065

Watched that ff13 trailer. Leona Lewis’ song does not fit.

3066

Can someone provide a link of the article stating that the PS3 content was removed?

3067

^ Seriously, From square themselves? I don’t think anything was removed really, as much as they screamed about how nothing is going to be changed.

3068

Well, if Square wasn’t so obsessed with cutscenes, it wouldn’t have to be on multiple discs. At least, it was like that before with CG and PS1. Don’t they use in-game cutscenes now?

Sure, all this news is disappointing, especially the cut-out areas, but I’m sure I wouldn’t be that disappointed when I end up playing it, haha. FFX’s linearity hurt it but I still played through it and enjoyed it. It’s the sidequests being at the end of the game that I hate the most. I just hope it isn’t some Star Ocean 4 type of deal where we have to switch discs to visit previous areas.

Hell, I was pissed off at the 360 version of Vesperia missing characters, sidequests, and multi-party coliseum at first too, but I got over it…kinda.

3069

I found the article: http://www.siliconera.com/2010/01/13/noras-secret-base-and-lightnings-home-cut-from-final-fantasy-xiii/

hmm i thought it would be more of a reason because of the xbox. Sounds like they just thought it was too much in one game all together… or they want to make cash off some dlc.

3071

Sounds about right, to be honest.

From their perspective, who wouldn’t pay for extra areas, especially considering FF’s fanbase?

Probably throw in some new enemies (ie: enemies that are new to 13, not the series) and nostalgia alone will make bank. :rolleyes:

Ever since they stated that they are going stay away from new IPs and rely on their old franchises, I really can’t say any of their decisions are surprising.

3072

I don’t know, but it sounds like they’re gonna do a FFXIII International and not release it in North America. :confused:

3073

ROFLCOPTER!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I saw the trailer and it had some good and bad points.

  1. Like SW said, Lewis song doesn’t fit at all. AT ALL. I hope the game comes with a mute option for BG music when that shit comes up. insert puke smilie here

  2. Lightning sounds IMO completely constipated. I feel like I’m watching a Rob Liefield drawing animated and that’s what the voice is like. Can’t stop laughing. :rofl:

  3. Snow thankfully sounds ok and manly but Square fucked something up and made Hope sound even more manly than Snow. Hope being manly doesn’t compute and manlier than Snow in voice is just NO.

  4. Sazh actually sounds like what I expect from a black man. Call it stereotype, I don’t give 3 shits but that shit that Japan made to voice Sazh is a disgrace for black men worth his salt and I’m glad Sazh is back to sounding like a true black man. Now, I’m sure I can enjoy his Tokyo drifting with a proper voice now.

  5. Fang sounds aussie but that’s fine with me. She is Xena afterall so it fits her perfectly.

  6. I like Vanille voice. She doesn’t have that annoying japanese voice any longer and that’s great. That was the only thing I didn’t like about her and now that’s gone. :rock:

I hope that Lightning takes out that big dump she is holding up before coming to America and Square makes Hope’s voice all squeaky and stuff.

Now back to ROFLCOPTER to Lightning’s voice. :rofl:

3074

the full article specifically said it wouldn’t fit because of DVD.

3075

Eh, I don’t get the hate for the English VA that I’ve been seeing at various sites. This isn’t the 90’s anymore; professional voice actors are being used nowadays, and for the most part, the voices suit the personalities the devs are trying to portray. Sazh’s voice is perfect.

“You think everything’s all sugar and rainbows?”

3076

You CAN powerlevel…in Chapter 11 :rofl: which happens to where I am by the way. Shit gets hella difficult and you are forced to grind and power up your guys cause you can run into some nasty things down in Gran Pulse. Wander into an area you’re not supposed to and you’re dead.

edit: I actually went to a story spot to grind since the Japanese wiki said it was the best place to grind for CP and turns out there’s a group of enemies that are so powerful that I cannot get past them to get to the Save Point and Cutscene! Damn when you get to Gran Pulse, THIS is where the game TRULY begins. You aint seen shit until you get to Gran Pulse.

Just a warning for those getting the game and might be feeling disappointed. Give it a shot until Gran Pulse before you decide cause it’s not really a fair indicator of how the game is considering they control your experience up until Gran Pulse.

3077

Yo Akuma,

SPOILERS

Have the Chocobo yet? I heard that the Ochu is the best enemy to farm CP in the whole game.

Also, have Gabrielle’s Death yet? You can kill the adamantoises for good CP and maxing weapons and many others spamming Death over and over. Is risky but doable.

/SPOILERS

3078

Nope I don’t have it yet. Aren’t I supposed to go to some point in the map for it? I’m not exactly sure how to get it. Also I don’t have death yet. Shit costs 4000-6000 per and I just got to the grind spot that the Wiki suggested.

3079

Seriously there’s no more excuse when people don’t put the spoiler tags properly.

3080

he shouldn’t even have put spoiler tags cause there were no spoilers. You seriously think they’re gonna make a FF game without a Chocobo and a Death spell?
