Well, here are some scans from a recent Japanese publication for XIII and vs XIII.

Fucking immense game i don't care what anybody says.

Looking forward to Final Fantasy versus XIII more than the other.

kelvinhole · 23rd January 2008, 11:35

I see they've finally gotten around to using cars instead of chocobos to move around the world now...

Cina · 23rd January 2008, 11:46

I've played all the FF games (and I mean all, SNES included) and I tink I can safely say, they are, and will always be the greatest gaming series I've ever played. VII alone is the greatest game ever made, and bar a few hiccups (VIII anyone?) they're all quite brilliant.

I'll be getting myself a PS3 for XIII, but seeing as it's out later this year in Japan, I won't have to get one for another 2 years...

Liam1989 · 23rd January 2008, 12:07

love em all apart from 12... what a piece of shit that was IMO

looks cool

Reflectorboy · 23rd January 2008, 12:11

are you kidding me? Final Fantasy has got to be the best game and best game series ever to hit any console by far, none come close in terms of depth and class

spinoza · 23rd January 2008, 12:17

Wow. I'm getting a PS3 for this. Isn't Versus some sort of mobile phone game? If the Japanese phones can handle that kind of graphics, I want one too.

spinoza · 23rd January 2008, 12:21

They've got a dream team writing the game - Nobuo Uematsu composing, Yoshitaka Amano on graphic design, Kazushige Nojima on storyboard.

narnar · 23rd January 2008, 12:26

Yes, unfortunately don't have a PS3 and don't plan on getting one.

Same, if I do end up with a PS3, the only reason would be to play FF XIII and the remake of FF VII.

Trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII for PS3. I'll get the ps3 just for this game.

MehdiMahdavikia · 23rd January 2008, 12:47

I used to before they became more of a continuous FMV video with occaisional player interactivity than a video game.

Richter · 23rd January 2008, 12:51

Bought PS3 to play Final Fantasy and Gran Turismo. It will be a while until the FF games show up in Europe though...

wancolos · 23rd January 2008, 13:15

Never had a PS2/3 so haven't really played it post-PS1.

FFVII is probably the best game ever made though.

LizardKing · 23rd January 2008, 13:27

FFVIII is the best

I liked the world and graphics of FFXII, couldn't be arsed finishing the game though - got too easy after you kill the monster with a few million hit points.

Dr. Dwayne · 23rd January 2008, 13:31

I think I'll get that when it comes out. Been having trouble finding games to get for my PS3. Fortunately, Motorstorm is a hell of a lot of fun.

MehdiMahdavikia · 23rd January 2008, 13:43

VI is by far the best. VII was just the same game but with worse game play and FMV movies.

olesmyhero · 23rd January 2008, 13:58

I used to love FF games. I don't play them much anymore(or games in general for that matter), but FFVII and FFX are two of my favorite games of all time.

esmufc12 · 23rd January 2008, 14:54

Love the FF series, VII or X were my favourites, loved VIII, but the junctioning/magic system ruined it for me. Yet to complete XII yet though. Can't wait for XIII, doubt it will be out anytime soon though, still, should be worth the wait!

esmufc12 · 23rd January 2008, 17:13

Also the music in FFVII is the best in the series. Brilliant!

Definitely agree with the greatest series ever. And VII certainly has a claim on the best game. It's a bit dated these days and the newer games are superior in most things you can put your finger on, but there's just something magical about VII. The others, as good as they are (and they all have a decent claim on the best game released for that year) all kind of blend into each other if you've played them all. I can kind of remember bits and pieces of each one but I've got no idea what the characters names were or what the main storylines were. Whereas VII instantly conjures up images of Cloud and Sephiroth - the storyline just dragged you in and didn't let go.

Personally I'd say that the old Shining Force II on the Megadrive is the only competitor it has as the best RPG/Fantasy game ever made. Once again it's very dated (14 years old now), but I've played that damn game so many times I know it off by heart. When I was young I even used to start writing novels about it (although never got more than a couple of chapters into it before getting bored

), and drawing maps of its towns and castles. Nowhere near as successful as the FF series, but god damn I loved that game.

Anyways, back to XIII, this is the first I've heard of them doing XIII and a vs XIII. Did a bit of a google search about what it's about and it certainly sounds interesting. Will probably tip my hand to finally get a PS3 when it does come out (although GTA 4 might beat it to that).

Liam1989 · 23rd January 2008, 18:00

i heard somewhere that its coming out for xbox 360 aswell?

WeasteDevil · 23rd January 2008, 18:01

They are also remaking VII for the PS3. God knows how it will turn out.

I don't think that you will see XIII on the XBox for some reason.

The producer has already come out and stated that FFXIII can only be done on the PS3, so don't get your hopes up.

Would love that to be re-made, but haven't heard anything from Square so not going to believe it untill it is confirmed!

ive never liked final fantasy games, mainly because of the battle system, and the music was annoying

The music in FF7 was awesome, and the battle systems have always been top notch.

So to sum it up, you're wrong.

Thats the best boss music in any FF game.

They might do a PSN version with slighty improved graphics. Just noticed that I have FFVII on my computer

I still have it for the PS1, never letting it go!
