Cant get enough of those ridiculous hair dos'.

dropoff

Looks like my kind of game... Unlike that horrible mix 8 and 10 that is 13 :S
Really liked the mood in the trailer, especially when they drove the car into the desert and all the costume dudes sitting around the table. Also girly guys = win.

@Grahamunculus: Exactly what I thought too.. Alan Rickman reprising his role as Hans Gruber is finally here. Final Fantasy: Die Hard. You never know; the blonde guy could be McClane in his young days.

Zeiphor

I'm assuming Hans Gruber is the main antagonist at the end. Still, this looks pretty good, even if the whole "fantasy" aspect of "Final Fantasy" seems to have gone the way of the Dodo. Especially like the natural, mafia-esque look this game is trying to give off.

KeroseneClimax

dammit! first one's not working for me either. gonna try back tomorrow & hope for awesomeness.

TheIrishNinja

that guy with the gun sort-of looks like Vaan if you look quickly :P

SupaPhly

@libregkd: Nah, I was going based purely on aesthetics. If you look at the Sasuke from about 2007 up you'll see some pretty remarkable resemblance, even in the fighting style present during the big Itachi v. Sasuke fight that recently finished back in...May I want to say.

Just add lightning plus a katana and you'll have a dead ringer.

Black-Dog-Howls

@Black-Dog-Howls: Ahh, I only assumed it was personality...seeing as everyone I meet say this game is going to have an emo lead and then comparing him to Sasuke <_<;

I do see a physical resemblance between the two though.

libregkd

@Grahamunculus: I thought I would have been the only one to see Alan Rickman in there, reprising his role as the token British bad guy.

Alexander_the_Badger

Fucking brilliant.

Release date plix, k?

Pepek

Fuck yeah!
Mafia themed story confirmed!

I knew this would this would become useful one day!

iceketch

I am suprised this looks like the version of FFXIII I figure would be better suited to the mass audience of 360 fan. I guess there must be some reason.

TheNexusRebound

@libregkd: Nobody is talking personality. In fact, the trailer really doesn't show any.

He just looks like Sasuke.

Or maybe a weird cross between Katsura and Shinsuke from Gintama.

Black-Dog-Howls

@Tyrannical: But they can afford to keep games exclusive to the 360?

Also, I hope all those saying this is 'Sasuke' knows that the main character has an upbeat and positive attitude <_<;

libregkd

True lol, but the graphics look amazing

Cemboi

It looks like Uchiha Sasuke vs. Alan Rickman

Grahamunculus

@manabu: That isn't Cloud.

Go read Naruto.

It's frigging Sasuke.

Black-Dog-Howls

@Tyrannical: SE can't afford to keep anything exclusive to Xbox360 either when you think about what regions actually buy JRPGs.

Black-Dog-Howls

@Phiphenomenon: Watch any J-drama, anime, Japanese movie post 1970. The fascination with pretty men extends far far far back in Japanese media.

On the other end of the spectrum, western men pretty much suffer from the opposite. Big, brawly, sweaty, muscle heads.

Guys don't look like guys in all areas of media. They're either pretty or horrendously muscular. Unless they're older actors or going for very particular styles.

-but hey, Nathan Drake looked like a guy guy.

Black-Dog-Howls

SE can't afford to keep anything exclusive to the PS3

Tyrannical

@mendo: Its not italian, its Latin :P

LeLoi

This is the trailer they should have shown at E3!!!

LeLoi

Why is everything in Italian? (not that I complain about it since I'm Italian ;)).

Maybe because the city you see in the middle of the video is clearly Venice? :)

mendo

This should've been the vanilla XIII.

This looks way cooler.

Sheky

I love the art. This LQ trailer is a thousand times better than what they've published officially.
I see a lot of potential about the game, but then there was Dirge of Cerberus and that upcoming shitty game where you're a whiny spoony bard. Oh well, thanks to CG, FF7:DoC is almost worth renting, despite the torture of a gameplay it has.

somarix

Good lord that music was grating to me. I'm glad to hear it's not from this game!

The whole desert highway thing makes me go, "huh?" This confused me more than anything else to be honest.

Zunnoab

o_O Looking all that footage makes it clear why their development times are so long. All that material doesn't just generate itself, and the assets are way beyond current generation realtime ones. Don't think most are awed seeing pre-rendered stuff, but I sure as hell am.

ara

If square-enix knows how to do anything it is trot out the CGI. That being said they are very good at what they do, of course I can't tell the quality of the game by the CG alone. The concept is interesting, but too often with games that aren't direct FF titles it's like watching a movie with bits of game to interrupt it, Dirge of Cerberus anyone?

Also, my own personal gripe is that men no longer look like men in games anymore. It annoys the crap out of me. Although I'm sure that is a fight I will lose.

Phiphenomenon

i would love to see some real gameplay.....

Dante18

@Irafe: Cloud has black hair in Versus XIII....or is it just the rebirth of Zack.

and in regular XIII, Cloud is a hot woman :O

manabu

Looks like Cloud with black hair?

Irafe

@libregkd: Whats their logic behind it though? Uhh we could show it to 100 people or put an HD version up on the internet and get millions of people excited about our game? wtf square

kagebutsu

Are they actually making a game? Or are they just waving CG infront of people until the next consoles come out. Colour me unimpressed.

digiwalsh

...I still stand by my claim that this is Sasuke: The Game.

Black-Dog-Howls

@kagebutsu: They have closed door trailers for anything and everything nowadays.

I'm not expecting any trailers for their event to make their way onto the internet anytime soon :/

libregkd

It really pisses me off how square enix always has "closed door" trailers for ffxiii.

kagebutsu

@dirkxxdiggler: What about Valkyria Chronicles? Although I have to admit, this does look like it could be the best FF since IX but I still have this niggling feeling that I'll be horribly wrong.

Polysics_2004

@108: Wait there are commercial awards?

shrek187

Ooooh can't wait.... So when are they going to announce it for 360?

Just kidding. Xbox already has Star Ocean 4.

shrek187

I'm psyched for this... hopefully it will be for 360 as well... but most likely it will keep its PS3 exclusivity. BOO!!!

Xero_Azmea

man i find it hilarious that "the fugitive" guy has his gun resting on his shoulder as he rises out of the car.

man, squeenix really needs to actually have some gameplay before they show these things.

either way, nice CG, if a little bit on the "Fucking Ridiculous" side.

with this kind of talent, they're sure to win some television commercial awards in the future.

108

I wouldn't be surprised if we find out the main character and guy with the gun are brothers/twins. It's kinda hard to tell cause of the small screen, but they look basically identical aside from the hair colour.

T-Mac

The girly boy main characters are in full-swing with this one. Makes me cringe.

frumplstlskn

Wow, this looks amazing! I guess the PS3 still has one exclusive to get excited about.

dirkxxdiggler

Meh I'll wait for the gameplay vid before getting exicted.

However, if that's his quirk (holding that gun over his shoulder) and he does that constantly I'm going to go insane. It just looks like hes trying soooooo haaaaaard

Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.

Looks awesome, yes. But its just a whole bunch of scans we have seen put into motion. But being about 6 months old, I guess that's to be expected :/

I personally just want Square to show something new on the game. It doesn't even have to be gameplay. Hell, I'd be happy with them showing a brief glimpse of a new environments outside of the city.

Nevertheless, the game looks awesome.

libregkd

Words cannot describe how awesome this looks.

MentalNote

"Howl of the Departed" Lost Odyssey. :3

With that said, it was a pretty good "leaked" video. Though I seen it yesterday, I'll be more than happy to come here to rewatch it. =D

remanance

The top video won't play for me, I'm guessing its getting a lot of views.
Anyway, I hope we see more of VersusXIII at DK(Sigma) whatever the hell it is.

TheCleaningGuy is no longer (that) disappointed with DMC4

This one actually looks cooler than regular XIII

kingdong6

Those graphics are just ridiculous. I don't understand why Square Enix refuses to release these trailers to the public. Honestly, it will only help the company.

NightMystic

The first leak is not working for me. And...is this music serious?

@NightMystic: Why waste time and money doing that when your huge following of fanboys can spread the news for them?

Lainface

@LeLoi:
Trust me, it's Italian. I live in Italy, I speak Italian and studied Latin at school. I know both, very well :)

mendo

I'm more interested in FFvs13 now, I'm surprised they keep the garage kids but atleast they have some guys that look like cloud and the turks (I like that visual style and character design so it leads me to the conclusion that the visual style will be to my liking).

Too bad it was all CGI though. You'd think they'd have something real to show by now. CGI is slowly getting caught up by real time graphics so it's becoming less impressive. It just serves as a stall tactic for showing real stuff now.

Llost

im more exciting about this one than the main ff13 simply for the awesome factor.

lilaliendog

Final Fantasy XIII: Modern Warfare.

Seems like the latest crazy.

PsycheE

I was hoping this would be Final Fantasy vs. XIII.

As in "Thirteen" the game: [en.wikipedia.org])

The_Foo

Hmmm...originally wasn't looking forward to FFXIII Vsddidn't care for the portable options (minus Tactics).

Still too early to make judgment till we know the battle system, plot, etc. If it plays anything like FFXII I will not buy it! <.<

ShinjiKinomoto

I should correct myself by saying that there are in-game cutscenes in previous Final Fantasy games (i.e., FFX, FFXII) but it'd be interesting if they could pull off a Final Fantasy game without CG cutscenes and do them all with just the game engine.

Mikolai

Dude... THIS is GotY 2013

bobtheduck

I see the soldiers in this game went through the same training as the Storm Troopers from Star Wars...

With all of them shooting at one spot, none of them can hit the main protagonist once as he takes his time putting his sword through a guy and turns slowly as he shoots the some of the other soldiers, then jumps on the guy's head and throws him on the ground. XD

The CGI trailer looks awesome (like all Square-Enix cut scenes), but no in-game cut scenes? They should really try their hand on that some time. Sometimes CG cutscenes just takes you out of the game and make you realize that you're still only playing the game and not taking a part in it.

The music is nice, though. I got that feeling of awesome from it, like I did when listening to music from Final Fantasy 6 and 7.

Mikolai

I dont get why people like this series no matter what i do i cant get in to it i find the stories so common and the gameplay is a snooze fest

ddollar

This was the one being worked on by the KH guys, right? Really looking forward to it. Hope it comes out soon, so 1) I can play it and 2) they can start KH3! Honestly, I'm more pumped for Versus than FF13. It's just better from what I've seen thus far.

Shadowmist

@Rembrandt:

Ya I think they took the videos down

SolidOni

Can't get either to play.

Rembrandt

For those of you who can't see the video ... go here:

dead_red_eyes

WOW! this game looks so amazing! Looks more industrial compared to XIII <3 Kinda reminds me of 7 and 8. I can't wait to play it!!!!!

hrabbit

The only reason I'm interested in playing this is because I read that the people who worked on Kingdom Hearts are working on this game. So its like Kingdom Hearts minus Disney, which to me sounds awesome.

TJH518

@LeLoi:As an Italian myself I can assure you, It's not Latin, it's really Italian, which doesn't surprise since it seems the game contain a mafia-like component.

Legna

@LeLoi: Believe me it's italian (my native language). Latin hasn't got articles and so on.

Kairne

I'm actually liking the versus a lot! Altho I prefer the character in XIII, this one still amazes me.

Solidus

The fact that Nomura is directing this still scares. I can't imagine him coming up with anything particularly inoffensive on any level.

Kaioshin_Sama

That music was brilliant, I'll have to persuade one of my Xbox owning friends to pick up Lost Odyssey. Despite being a really big Final Fantasy fan, I really have to agree that actual gameplay footage is needed to get me excited. Also ditto the Sasuke comment, he even looks like him.

Ladi

Good to see Liam Neelson's made it into the game.

shinchrono

@Zunnoab: Without having played FFvsXIII, I can guarantee that Howl of the Departed (or any other song from the Lost Odyssey soundtrack) is better than any song that will be in that game. That is, unless Nobuo Uematsu is composing the music for FFvsXIII.

josh924

Both this and FFXIII look amazing, I can't wait to pick them up. Wonder how long till a 360 port of FFvsXIII is annouced.

BassForever

Both the videos have been pulled :(

Aetherium

Both pulled but it's all over youtube.

FigNewton

exclusive for ps3 only, no xbox. I'm betting a million bucks on PS3 and one Bluray disc.

zkotaku

>.< Pulled, too late!

mufasa95

The graphics r great
