I just watched these two trailers and thought I would share:

I always love watching Final Fantasy trailers and seeing the video they put in to the games. I haven't played a FF since FF7 on PC, but I do love to see the trailers Square produces for their games. I think their art direction and CG is incredibly well done and different from a lot of the other games you see.

it looks like the advent children movie to me. style-wise close to FFVII, methinks?
if only there were movie studios adapting such visuals for animated features instead of all the dreadful furry animal thingies.

needs more dudes that look like chicks

I read somewhere a while back that Square Enix's primary development platform is the PC now, so everything will be released, and best, on PC, consoles to follow. This is interesting news to me, at least, because I am sick of consoles being the focus of development companies... so even if it plays like the rest of their console RPGs, even if I'm not at all interested in the games, to know that it functions and was designed to function on my home computer makes me a little warm&fuzzy on the insides.

SO MUCH ANGST

i am led to believe almost everybody's development platform these days is the PC , usually not related to the project's lead SKU at all. what you might have read is that they move towards multiplatform development (PS3, XB360) and perhaps their output used to be generated for playstation by default in prior projects and thus would be too specific nowadays?

FF13 Vs. seems to be set in the FF7 world, FF13 seems to be set in more of a 8,10 or 12 setting

I thought they co-existed in the same world... this is just getting confusing now.

Versus does have that Advent children kinda feel, but some of those secondary characters brings me back to ff8 style... I don't know what the f is going on either way.

oh, get a haircut

Tulkamir

... Is this supposed to be a game or a movie?

JasonLavoie

ebagg

Girlie dudes with super styled hair? Check.
Crazy fight scenes that don't reflect the gameplay at all? Check.
Angsty McEmo storyline? Check.

Vs. is being made by the guy who made VII, explains the dark urban vibe

13 is being made by the guy who made X2, explains why it looks like a Jpop video


i already know which game will be better....

There were a couple things that made me think this was the FF7 universe, the pack of dogs running at the start of the XIII movie, the "corporate" element to the versus video, and the dudes who look surprisingly like Turks.

/ff geek off

looks sweet.

first one was reeeeeally nice, second one did nothing for me.

Generally I don't like the FF franchise. the only game i've actually sunken any time into was FFX - and even that one I didn't like much. VS has me intrigued, though.

Neither of them gripped me really :P

character design seems a bit "blah" to me, especially for Vs.
