Another FFXIII thread

[Nauren]

I started a new thread for a special reason..I'm FUCKING confused. Read on. Info pulled directly from SE website.

Quote from SE "An all new project comprising of multiple titles spanning multiple systems including the PLAYSTATION®3 system and mobile phones "





One myth, countless stories
FINAL FANTASY XIII

The New Tale of the Crystal
Like the light that shines through the Crystal,
the universe shines with multi-colored content.



To celebrate the 13th title in the world-renowned FINAL FANTASY series, Square Enix has undertaken a colossal project involving the development of various content for multiple platforms. FABULA NOVA CRYSTALLIS, defined in Latin as "the new tale of the crystal," is made up of several different titles based on variations of the FINAL FANTASY XIII universe. However, while each title in the project features different characters, different worlds, and different stories, all are ultimately based on and expand upon a common mythos.







FINAL FANTASY XIII for PlayStation 3 system
A tale of souls from a futuristic civilization illuminated by the Light of the Crystal



This eagerly anticipated title takes full advantage of the PlayStation 3 system's advanced hardware, providing tangible, intuitive controls while delivering seamless transitions between real-time gameplay and stunning in-game cinematics. The latest in cutting-edge technology has been utilized in development of FINAL FANTASY XIII, thus making this newest addition to the FINAL FANTASY series worthy of the title "next generation."

I still claim the Cell Phone game idea "bad"

[Nauren]

Not a bad idea in japan. DoCoMo phones are badass. Before Crisis is very popular in Japan...sold millions. If the USA had a cell phone service that was even half as good as theirs...it would sell well here also.

[_Code]

half agreed. Now Sprint and Cingular both have the capability of streaming video, and real time television on their data transfer.

with Edge and EVDO its a good possibility to be worth the time. All really depends on the carrier it goes for. IMO: if I had to choose one carrier for it to go with, i'd choose Cingular. More likely will be either Cingular or Verizon; even tho Verizon can't possibly handly the data transfer it'd require; and the handsets can't support the local data.

[Nauren]

Turns out only 3 versions of FFXIII actually. The compilation is called "Fabula Nova Crystallis"

FFXIII, FFXIII Verus, and FFXIII Agito make up the compilation.

FFXIII and FFXIII Versus are confirmed for PS3...possibly multiplatform

[jerric]

Weird. I still wanna know wtf is up with 12, i havent seen anything on that and already hearing about 13 lmao. Like those PC comercials, they guy buys an all new T6, then by the time he gets on they highway theyre putting up signs for a T7 <_<

[Nauren]

FFXII will be released around October in the states.....Famitsu magazine gave it a higher review then any game in their history.
