I hate to be "this guy" but I have watched the trailer and this statement:
"The bars on the bottom right of the screen indicate the enemy’s health points."
Is wrong, those are actually the players Health display...
Thnx to unscrupulously yet quickly translating the names, unless at some point you fight against Lightning and Sazh Katzroy, that is what a couple of the names translated to...
I very well could be wrong though...

So which FFXIII is this? Hasnt there already been about 2 or 3 other FFXIII?

sweet. I can barely tell it's final fantasy, but sweet! also, isn't it kinda ironic that ffxiii is so futuristic, whereas xii was super medieval?

Yeah, this is starting to sound like Final Fantasy VII all over again. Heck it's what I'd imagine FF VII to look like if it were to be updated for the PS3. However it seems that the entire world is going to be very futuristic, not steam punk. This looks more like Final Sci-Fi than Final Fantasy.

For the most part I couldn't care less about this game... until hearing about the combat system. That actually sounds interesting although I have a feeling that the story is going to annoy me.
Alot.

And yes, I think 8 is wrong. It's likely that the health above the enemies is their health while the bars on the bottom right are likely your partys health.

PLEASE let this game erase the memories of FFXII...

Although I kinda wish they would stop trying to mash up sci-fi and straight fantasy. It comes off as a bit...awkward? Clumsy? I dunno, but I don't like it.

Who gives a damn about Final Fantasy...

Yeah, this might be a good time to finally play my first FF game.

This reminds me a lot of final fantasy 7. Also doesn't snow and his two people kinda remind you of Seifer and the guy and girl that were always with him.

Actually, the bars in the lower right corner display *your* health points, as evidenced by the names "Lightning" and "Snow" (in katakana, to be fair) next to the bars in several of the combat shots.

And no, I can't make out any of the other names clearly enough to give a decent guess as to what they are.

looking forward this, alot. though im a much bigger fan of the 360, i will be getting this for the ps3 i believe.

i like what they have done to the battle system, personally i want battle systems to be either free, were you perform own attacks, in whatever direction you please or completely turnbased. the semi-turnbased system for X-2 and XII sucks ass. its semi-turnbased; so skill and technique does not come much into play, but its also so damn broken that the only attacks you benefit from are the regular ones, making the games into button-mashers and taking away all the strategy and tactical aspects of turnbased combat.

I hope that this doesn't get delayed to 2010, I would die. Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete on Blu-ray is coming in April with the FFXIII demo! FFVIIACC is a sign that the waiting will end soon, if it doesn't get delayed.

I'll probably get it on PS3. I love my 360, but my PS3 is hooked up to an HDTV and my 360 isn't(long story). So, seeing Lightning in HD overcomes both achievements and my 360 preferences.

Oh, and if you don't like Final Fantasy, then don't comment on an article that's all about Final Fantasy.

i feel FF should have stopped at X-2. Every game after that has gotten worse and there are loads of crappy spin-offs making the franchise look like shit basically.
Hentai4Ever  - 10 months 1 day ago 
Oh and by the way saveTehcheese FF9 is my fave =D
VMee  - 10 months 1 day ago 
Snow's resistance companions' names? I bet for Wedge and Biggs......:)

Looks amazing, gah I can't wait.

Hey, why do people get pissy that this game is going multi-platform? I don't see why expanding the game's potential audience is a bad thing.
GameLegend08  - 10 months 1 day ago 
The gameplay looks amazing, I must have this game.
TheKraige  - 10 months 11 hours ago 
Finally a return to turn based combat for FF Crisis Core wasn't bad but FF XII cost me £40 and I felt riped off because of the stupid combat, now alls I need to hear is NG+ and I'm back on board. Glad they realised "real-time battles" blow.
