So yeah I couldn't find any recent topic to insert this, someone finally uploaded the extended trailers from that CLOUD dvd. ;o

That new/extended XIII trailer does make it seem a bit more interesting to me, but Versus XIII still just seems so much more appealing to me, and the little bit of new footage in that clip makes me even more eager to see the finished product.

Thanks for the links.

Bummer that we still can't tell how it actually plays
Cinemas are nice...
But...I can't tel how good a game is by its cinemas. That requires some gameplay footage. Still reserving judgement over here.

Indeed, it would be nice to see how versus XIII is going to be played.
I do have to say that I am quite eager in these games, though more in versus XIII than in XIII, but still.
I also like the new style Square took, which is more of a Devil May Cry style. The gameplay might be different, I can't say, but the cinematics are very similar. Both have over the top dramatic scenes, which you also have in Devil May Cry, so I am quite pleased and curious as to what else these two games offer.

Yeah there's some gameplay footage for XIII but none for Versus XIII so I don't know what to think yet.
But the overall impressions of the games I get is that XIII reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy VIII (switch the V to a X. Coincidence? I think not!) and Versus XIII still looks very Kingdom Hearts like.

Would have liked to see more gameplay footage though. Mainly from Versus. But the games are looking very interesting none the less.

i am so glad someone posted this. lol i was going to make a huge post about it with stuff but yea. anyways the new final fantasy XIII versus was awesome. and i havent watched the XIII yet but i will soon. i cant wai. anyone wanna bet when it'll come out next year? or 2 years from now?? lol

I dunno I'm still skeptical that this is really the gameplay footage. Yeah it shows attacks and commands on the screen, but her movements and the camera angles do not seem compatible with the battle system.

The camera is continually swinging around as she is doing acrobatic stunts, and I can't see how we'd be able to control that or play like that, so I'm thinking it may not be the TRUE battle system yet.

There has never been any FF game that I can remember where we had to "control" the characters during battle. The closest would be FF 12, but even there you could ignore it and just browse through the menus to issue out attacks.
That the camera becomes more dynamic during battles doesn't seem that strange to me. Square did say that this was the battle system though, and I doubt they'd have numbers popping up over enemies heads otherwise. Camera angles get like this during Limit Breaks anyway, so it's not really new. Just looks much better.

hmm I'm sceptical, XIII looks ok but I hesitate on the system (thanks to FF12)

And I didn't like the trailer for Versus XIII, and special this "based on reality"!!!
I will do as Bomb and reserv my judgement

Is FFXIII just coming out on ps3 or is there any 360 rumours?

Those two games are for PS3, but there are other FF XIII compilation titles, I think one for Mobile, and perhaps for Wii. There may be one for X360 also, but the main FF XIII and versus XIII are for PS3 so far.

I never make an opinion on a game till I play it, looking good is not the same as playing good
