Nomura tweeted more FFXIII VS
info:
Wrote Nomura, "Yesterday, we had meetings about three sections -- maps, events and battles. For the map section, I checked the problem areas that had been fixed. The staff had gone beyond the requests and and filled them with playful elements. I put in orders for additional areas as well."
Nomura's got a bit specific about what he was checking on the maps:
* The look of a forest that you can see once you've cleared a narrow mountain path.
* Things that are required when leaving the city by moving on the roofs of buildings.
* The positioning of the bookshelves in shops
* How flags are standing
* How the sea is handled on the world map
* The roads you can see from the air ship
* The length of bridges
Regarding events, Nomura said he can't say too much without providing spoilers. He's checking such things as:
* The look on a character during a short cut in a scene where he or she is leaving.
* Explanation of a fathers feelings during a conversation scene.
* The areas that they want to have connected seamlessly, and the areas that they want to connect via cuts.
* Explanations about the heroines movements.
For both of these areas, Nomura was attempting to convey that the check work goes down to detailed levels.
Regarding battles, Nomura checked up on menu areas yesterday. "We're doing lots of trial and error on this. When you say Final Fantasy, you think of enemy damage figures flying out and showing player HP. What will we do with these in the action-heavy Versus?"
He also mentioned that the staff is considering a twitter account for this game and Agito.
More Dissida 012 info is
posted.
Producer Yoshinori Kitase and director Motomu Toriyama hinted that there might be a FF XIII-2 game in an
interview. They also discussed about DLC problems (they couldn't do any due to the different game consoles and how they work) and future developments.
Square Enix USA has translated the TGS
trailer for Dissidia 012.
The TGS
trailer for Agito and XIII VS is up. Agito looks pretty intriguing.
Nomura
answered some questions about XIII VS TGS Trailer.
The opening sequence of the Versus trailer which shows a close-up of main character Noctis is part of a pre-rendered movie, said Nomura. Everything else is real time footage of the game being actually controlled.
Regarding the sequences showing Noctis running about, Nomura said that you can traverse these areas on foot as shown in the trailer, but he believes most people will opt for transportation via car.
Regarding the ending battle sequence with the giant behemoth, Nomura said that they slowed the speed down just a bit from the real thing. The reason for this is that Noctis' speed is actually so fast that you can't see him clearly.
Vaan's seiyuu mentioned about voicing the
character again - is this a hint that Vaan will be in Dissida 012?
Speaking of Dissidia, Tifa's alt. costume will be her
Advent Children one. Interestingly, she also doesn't recognize Cloud either.
The developers of FFXIII discussed what they think went wrong with the game. They believed it's because the team did not have a
shared vision of what the game should be.
More Dissidia 012
updates. The characters will have a third alternate costumes called Third Form.
Cloud's Third Form costume is a design from Yoshitaka Amano. Cecil wears a white costume that comes from the DS remake of Final Fantasy IV. Golbez sports his Final Fantasy IV The After look. Sephiroth's Third Form appears to be his unaltered FFVII costume.
You can see their third costumes
