*** Final Fantasy XIII ***

Loved the international video - so excited for this!! I am getting it on ps3 (be rude not to) but I would really like a ff13 faceplate for my 360!

yes i have ff7,8,9,10,12

materia was still the best method yet they havent ever re-visited it...none were as good as materia!

10 was not my favourite and blitz balll did the game no favours...

totally agree ff7 was the best for me due to the materia and found ff10 to be good but didnt get much exploring to do
 
Is it bad that I'm tempted to trade my 60gb 360 model for one of those special edition ones even though I'll probably get the game on PS3 and thus have the game on both platforms!??

I want to buy that 250GB Super Elite pack even though I already have the Collector's Edition pre-ordered for the PS3. :p
 
No matter what though it is still a poor choice of a song. Square-Enix could at least got her to make an original song for the game if they want to put so much emphasis on her.

Indeed. I don't know why they didn't do what they did with Kingdom Hearts and Utada Hikaru. Same song, just an english and japanese version. I found both versions fine on the ears.

Anyway its only a song at the end of the day, a miniscule part of a game. Just a really silly decision on their part.

The UK marketing campaign begins on March the 1st. Square Enix are spending millions on advertising in the UK - specifically adverts during football matches (presumably Champions League games?) and they estimate their bus side ads will reach 75% of the population. I don't know why the UK market is important to them, it's relatively tiny I'd have thought?

They drew inspiration from Western games when designing FF13. Specifically, the Halo and Call of Duty series, because of their fast paced action. (Imo though, if you want to win over Western audiences, you make a sandbox rpg with dialogue options).

And why Leona Lewis? Well, she's the UK's 'darling'. It could have been worse. Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love...

Personally, I think the marketing campaign is an attempt to offset the negative/mixed reviews Square-Enix know the game is going to get. They've invested too much time and effort in porting the game over from the PS2. There is also a review embargo in place until the day before release, which just makes me suspicious (even though I know a lot of developers pull this stunt).

I guess we'll see soon enough.

I don't know if the story is any good or not, but the characters are supposed to be really good - from what I've read, most people like them.
 
Graphics in the video do look amazing - but you can tell that what that guy said in the interview said about not being able to do a normal ff game in that level of detail, it would take forever!
