Rumors/Theory's[/b]-


Battle Engine:
Detailed Screen
Based on this image, I think I've figured out how the battles in FFXIII will work. In the far left corner you see a menu. This obviously will allow the player to choose from different combat actions. Off to the right of that and slightly above, we see five slots which seem to be a "queue" for the player to list actions in, which would then be executed from left to right. Each attack costs a number of "ATB points", (listed to the right of the action's name in the command menu. At the bottom of the screen we see the amount of ATB points that can be in the queue at once. In the top-right corner is an "adrenaline meter" type thing which when full will allow you to enter a "bullet-time" type phase. Any thoughts on this idea?

Well I have done some Research into it. They have said they are trying to make it more like what we saw in FF7AC all the jump around block and so forth and from the trailer it looks like you can freeze time then Combo up attacks. She stabs an enemy knocks him up into the air then throws a fireball and a group and it shows what looks like a Combo gauge though how it all will work I don't know yet. Also FFXIII is done by the KH team, FFXIII is done by Motomu Toriyama who made FFX and X-2 , I thought it was Turn based..but I dunno now.

Battle Engine may be different on FFXIII and Versus.


Story: these games have alot in common with 7 and 8.... the mobile game resembles the path where Aeris died. really dark green has some resemblance of jenova(some)... the Seifer Guy/Mr. 33cm/Blond guy... then watching the trailer the guy with black hair has the same concept as cloud with his swords. Relation maybe?



This should tell you everything you need to know.. if you take the time to read it.

Final Fantasy XIII-PS3/360

Overview
The game features a futuristic, high-tech world. Only three characters have been revealed thus far: a woman, with the code name Lightning, who wields a weapon which functions as a sword and a firearm; an unnamed man who is her ally; and a second female, carrying a bow.

Final Fantasy X-2 director Motomu Toriyama returns as the director of the game. According to Square Enix President Yōichi Wada, the storyline will focus on "those who resist the world". Final Fantasy XIII and the other games of the Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII collection take place in the same universe, but are not directly related to each other.

Battle system

The concept for Final Fantasy XIII's battle system is to maintain the strategic side of 'command input' battles while also including the excitement found in 'fast-paced' battles. Like recent entries in the franchise, the battles will be in real time, without any random battles. It has been confirmed that Final Fantasy XIII will have parties.

As seen in the E3 2006 trailer, battles are menu driven. Commands are selected from a reel on the bottom left side of the screen. Each command has an ATB Cost, which reduces the ATB bar. It is believed that the bar fills up over time, like the traditional ATB system, but in Final Fantasy XIII you can input commands while it is still filling.

Selected commands are placed on a row of upcoming moves (above the ATB bar). As Lightning fights, she will use each command in turn, with the current command in use turning yellow. Commands can be chained together for certain effects. The environment also plays a role in battle, as seen in the E3 2006 trailer when Lightning sends a soldier into a light, electrocuting him and multiplying the damage.

A map is seen in the upper left hand corner of the battle screen, though in the only footage we have, the dots aren't moving. This is likely to change as Final Fantasy XIII goes further into development. Presumably, blue dots are allies and red dots are enemies. The dots emitting circles are the characters currently affected by the fighting.

yeah isnt this like the 3rd or the 5th thread made already?

My theory on VS. is it'll be announced for 360 after FF13 comes out.

Ehh..I think that one's staying PS3. It's not as big of a game as regular FF13, and i'm sure square enix isn't completely heartless


anyways...final fantasy XII is already out.

Then that's even more reason to put it on 2 platforms, easier recoup dev costs.

well i mean i think they only put 13 on the 360 to make more money off the game. They're having star ocean 360 exclusive...most everywhere i've read most rpg fans that wanted to go next gen bought a ps3, and aren't too happy about all the rpg's being 360-only. so if they wanted to make more money off star ocean, they'd put it on ps3. But they're not. so it looks like they just want it to be 360 only...i'm thinking (and hoping) that versus 13 is on the same boat. They put regular 13 on the 360 and ps3 to make the most money off of it, since it's a really big game...but will want versus 13 to stay ps3-only like originally intended.

I bet Star Ocean 4 still makes it way to the PS3, exclusives are pretty much a thing of the past.

[EpsilonX]

well...we'll all hope and pray that star ocean 4 comes to ps3 and that versus 13 stays on ps3.

square owes us ps3 owners. (and people that spent $500 on a ps3 already just to play FF13...(i mean i could have waited, but i wanted a 60GB))

Personally I'm looking forward to Versus more then I am XIII.
I love the attitude of the main guy.
