Re: Final Fantasy VII on the PlayStation Store - Data Consumption?

1.83 gigs I think for FF8. My friend just mentioned it last night, but I am not 100% sure. I know it exceeds one gig.

Re: The Final Fantasy Thread! [Also FF XIII Info Inside]

Well its true that bad reviews aren't necessarily a bad thing. If anything they drive your expectations for a game down. Which only leads to you enjoying a game that much more. But the idea that for the first 20 hrs of the game you are basically pushing the analogue stick forward the entire time is a tad bit troublesome. Thats a ton of hrs that you have to endure before the game opens up. Not to mention that that say you can only control one character at a time in battles and that the game dictates which character you control. I don't know if I like that...

Re: The Final Fantasy Thread! [Also FF XIII Info Inside]

meh I don't take reviews many reviews for the FF series seriously since everyone bashes the latest installment but praise it when the next one comes out. I've heard that the gameplay is good, and thats what matters in the end.

Re: The Final Fantasy Thread! [Also FF XIII Info Inside]

Those who want to know whats in the Collectors Edition
Today Square Enix announced its plans for a Collector's Edition of the game for PAL territories (although pricing and other region were not mentioned) which is set to storm into stores on March 9th this year.

The Final Fantasy XIII Collector's Edition will contain the following.

The Final Fantasy XIII game (publisher still mention the game as part of the contents?);
Final Fantasy XIII Original Sound Selection - an exclusive soundtrack CD featuring in-game music tracks especially chosen for the Limited Collector’s Edition by composer Masashi Hamauzu;
The World of Final Fantasy XIII – a hardback book featuring character artwork, CG rendered artwork and environments from across the game’s production;
Exclusive Art Prints - three highly collectable prints showing artwork of the Eidolons, the powerful summoned allies of the lead playable characters;
A Unique ‘Brand of the l’Cie’ decal – a collectible decal featuring the most iconic symbol from the game’s storyline.
The "Limited" Collector’s Edition will be available in a branded presentation box.
A simple offering of art and music and the interesting addition of a collectible decal (is that a first?), all of which can be found in the picture below.

Final Fantasy XIII is out worldwide on March 9th.

So for Australia it's $130 so i'm guessing 50, 60 pounds if that.

Re: The Final Fantasy Thread! [Also FF XIII Info Inside]

you know what I'm saying!! FF is that game that keeps you busy and you know can last a good few months if you play it right, but some games these days can be done in a week then you're left staring at the case.

Re: The Final Fantasy Thread! [Also FF XIII Info Inside]

Exactly. And another thing, you can't get bored of FF games because there's always sidequests and hidden shit in the game... from what I've heard FFXIII is a longer game then FFXII. That should be good. :tem

Exactly!!!! you know, even now after I completed FFXII there's still some missions I haven't done like the Yiazmat and some of the elite marks. My dream is still to have FFVII remade, that game was awesome for me!

Not really surprised if its true. The cost to produce games is getting out of control so it only makes sense for a developer to make a game multiplatform. They'll probably just do the same thing they did with XIII - PS3 exclusive in Japan, multiplatform everywhere else.

Its good Business sense to go Multi platforom, i dont blame them whatsoever ..IF ive been hearing clearly FFXIII is doing well right now so i can understand why they are considering it right now.

Also to add on its not like going on different platforms is new to Square , The first Six Games were on Nintendo before they transferred to Sony and released VII- XII (VII and VIII were on the PC too... if PC counts that ..) on there consoles

Don't expect a FFVII remake anytime soon...according to FFXII producer, Yoshinori Kitase, it would take 30-40 years to develop. >.>

The staff was asked its usual question about a Final Fantasy VII remake. Kitase responded: "We've gotten this question a lot from many countries (laughs). To make FFXIII at this level of quality, it took us 3 to 4 years. If we were to make FFVII in the same style of FFXIII, it would take 10 times as long, so it would be difficult to take it up immediately. However, we always keep in mind how often this is requested."

I really love Square...

Was better if it was just a joke >.<

FF 13 is good, but not that good, IMO, and just look at the time they took.

First, add cities again, FF like a giant corridor isn't funny. I just hope FF Versus can be a better product, but considering the huge amount of developing time, I bet the game won't be out till 2013, 2014...

(some spoilers ahead but no point in tabbing it)

Final Fantasy X did not have a overworld map and so XII as well

it was just pick a location and go FFXIII had a lot capabilities to return to cities ,and have similar format to X or XII , but the plot (there fugitives and hated by everyone by the way doesnt help matters.) and the lack of a reason to return to the cities are the in-game reason why we dont return to the cities in XIII (but it makes you feel lonely ...in the game ...seriously)

At the end of the game you are given an option to move around Pulse (where you visited), and talk to to stones (cieth stones ..) that took place as people . but in other parts of the game there were citizens that walked around in the populated areas and say two or three lines like the other FF random people did. So there shouldn't of had been much of a problem to have cities you can revisit in any of the next game

Also FFX was linear and XIII was more so , it didnt have the illusion of choice which the other FF's had but if you think about the other FF they were all Linear and the Plot tells you where to go and you have almost no choice but to complete it to go on

Anyways FFXIIIversus should be out by next year , they been developing long enough there is no reason to span the time to three years. IF Square Enix cant adapt to the changing times than too bad there not going to make it for much longer.
