Good god they will do anything for cash won't they nowadays..  how many of you are going to fall for it I wonder ;)

I am so glad I sold my PS3... it was that or sell my soul to these pretenders.  Square have gone from laughing at the fanbase to  pissing all over them as they laugh.

You must not have heard about the 3.55 custom firmware
 
Trailers:
FF XIII-2

FF Versus XIII

Haven't really watched the XIII-2 one yet as I haven't completed XIII, butI must say, I do like the look of Versus.

You'd be advised not to make assumptions. Sure, you're probably right, but when you take on such a negative, self-righteous tone about it, and act as if you know exactly what the game is gonna be from a name and a short, uninformative trailer, you come across sounding like a tool.

I, for one, am gonna wait on making a decision until reviews come in. Specifically, EGM, because they hold themselves to a higher standard than IGN, Gamespot, Game Informer, and the like, and are less likely to allow themselves to be paid off for a good review, as well as player reviews. Being a hype-proof robot, I have not formed an opinion on this game yet, and do not plan on doing so.
 
Yes, I am probably right.  End of ;)  The fact is, Square is taking everyone for a ride and has been quite a while.  I gave them chance after chance, and you seem to want to give them 1 more chance.

At what point will you just give in like I have?

I wouldn't mind so much, but what exactly do enix have to do before people wake up and stop supplying them the money they crave to carry on acting in the same manner?  I want the great games to come back and it isn't going to happen while we keep giving them "chances" and buying their games "before we judge".  Once you have bought it, that's the end of it as far as they are concerned.

That's why I suggest waiting until reviews come in. I'm not gonna buy it before judging it, but I'm not gonna judge it before anyone's played it either.
 
I am just going by trends, and I won't trust the magazine reviews, they are corrupt.  I will read all of the user reviews :)

Agreed about 99% of magazines, and websites. EGM is clean though. They've made a point of that, it's one of the only reasons they are able to be around today.

i am starting to see a pattern here.

- make a sequel
- reuse old characters
- make them closer to being butt naked.
- hope for fangasm
- profit!!!

not that i mind, though.
 
I mind.
And more people should mind.
If I want porn or soft-core porn I can just go hit the next sex shop. I don't need a goddamn video game console for that.
fuck you square enix. fuck you japan.
yes, I MAD.
 
I've got details for a BangBros network account, all the porn I'll ever need for free, so hey Squeenix, GIVE US A REAL GAME!

Agreed.  It is because people keep accepting this garbage that nothing is changing.  I ventured onto a few game forums the other day, just brisking over them to see what people are saying about FFXIII-2, and there are actually people saying, "Well, I didn't like XII or XIII and XIV is poor as well, but maybe they finally realised their mistakes...  It is Final Fantasy so I'll give it a shot"

And things similar.  I am at an absolute loss how brain dead and brainwashed people have to be to keep saying this after every single problem that comes out of that money making machine, Squenix.    I gave up, so I guess it doesn't affect me anymore financially, but that doesn't mean I am not pissed off at what is happening.

I have to be honest though, not in my wildest dreams did I think Squenix would be THIS blatant.  After all the criticisms XIII got, to just ignore fanbase and MAKE ANOTHER XIII game is mind boggingly ignorant.  They obviously know by now that people will buy whatever they throw out.

Again, this is on the assumption that they haven't fixed those mistakes. I have no doubt that they're gonna at least make it less linear (but probably not enough so), since that was the first XIII's biggest criticism. Though, the story will probably be considerably worse than XIII.
 
Jesus christ Covarr where the hell does your optimisn come from?
First of all, it's not in the best interest of a company to make a great game. They want to make good games. Or decent games. This comes with many advantages over making a great or wonderful game. Most obviously that the level-bar for the next game won't be high. Also, a great or wonderful game's profit is only slightly higher than a good games nowadays. So why spent the extra effort and money?

I hope some enraged fans actually send a bomb to the dev office that does 13-2

Welcome to capitalism.  Vote with your dollars.  Don't buy the game.

Why exactly is this making you angry on a personal level ?  I really loved the first two Mass Effects but if the last turns out ton be EA mass produced garbage, I'll be disapointed but I won't get on a rooftop in Edmonton to start shooting Bioware's devs ...
 
Quite simply, it makes me angry, because I want some fun in my life, and FF games used to provide a part of it.  Now it doesn't.  Instead it provides the opposite...

it would like being happy that your favourite show has come to an end.
 
Past faves:  FF7,8,9,10 and to a lesser extent 6

Reasons: 

choose who is in your party,

choose to do many side quests that are not just more battles

do puzzles sometimes

hunt for best weapons that you have a good chance of getting without the need for a guide

Miniquests that are fun and to find new secret areas

world map in 6,7,8,9

Use Summons in battle that actually help you out, and in X, use the summons as new battle characters.

Return to all areas of game, often for more quests or Monster hunts. 

Traditional towns that break up the monotony

choose options in battle which are fully customised

select all allies in battle

use enemy skills or other game play elements in battle

Story and character development which is decent and for the most part well written
Click to expand...
Ditto all that!
and I'd like to add to the above,The AAA 's of the summons.
The Aeon's Alchemy in X , including the gf Affinity and abilities from VIII

That option in the system panel to turn the music off.
The same battle music through 95% of any particular game irks me. http://forums.qhimm.com/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif

The turn based style of play like in,1-10x2
I m probably old fashioned in this last one but I really enjoyed the strategies in dealing with the different enemy groups.
If I could change anything about them,It would be to have encounter load screens(with the exception of bossfights) shortened to somewhere around instantaneous.

That's all I can add right now.
 
Sadly that is too much effort for them, so they will just fire graphics in your face as a substitute and the "game" will still sell...

It is also good to see so many people who are clued up about this topic, on a few forums, you are made to feel like what you are saying is stupid and makes no sense, even though you know it does.

I'm a naturally optimistic person. Keep in mind, I'm not so optimistic that I'll pay money for this thing on launch day, I'll obviously read reviews first (both from fans and EGM), but I'm not gonna bash something I haven't seen gameplay footage of, either.

I really don't think it'll be great, but I think it's downright stupid to criticize something one hasn't seen yet.
 
Well, I have played 1,2,3, 7,8,9 10, 10-2, and 12.
I stoped playing final fantasy after the 12 edition, i mean i fucking hated what they did with the game, it has good points like the development board system the graphics were cool, i freakin hated the main character and almost all the party members as well... but it was a nice game altough i played like an obligation as a FF fan... not for real fun...

The biggest complain that i have is this one: WHAT THE FUCK THEY DID WITH THE FUCKING SUMMONS/ESPERS/AEONS?
GOD DAMMIT IN 12 THEY SUCK SO HARD THAT I DIE EVERYTIME I USE THEM. OR I DIE FIRST OR THEY DIE BEFORE THE TIMER ENDS TO USE THE ESPECIAL, AND WTF MAN BELIAS? MATEUS? WHO THE FUCK ARE THOSE? I WANT IFRIT AND SHIVA...

then in 13:
OH MY GOD IFRIT AND SHIVA ARE BACK? WAIT IFRIT JUST TURNED INTO A FUCKING CAR? AND SHIVA INTO A FUCKING BIKE? seriously... go to hell square-enix I want squaresoft back...
