A quote frome a recent GameInformer:

We're all wondering what Final Fantasy XIII is going to be like when we finally get it in our hands - which may be later rather than sooner. Word is that the game's a mess right now, and the localization process itself is expected to take a full year. This is about three months longer than usual. Seeing as how the game likely won't come out in Japan until the end of next year at the earliest, it looks like we're in for a long wait.

Now, I'm actually kind of happy that they're taking the time to make this game the best it can be. I know Final Fantasy X took a long time to make, and it was an incredible game. Let's hope the same for Final Fantasy XIII as well. :)

One thing I'm curious...is to which FFXIII game is it talking about. I know the original version, but they also have FFXIII Versus and the FFXIII game for the phone. I wonder if either of those will release earlier.
 
It makes me happy because it means the PS3 will probably be cheaper by the time FFXIII comes out and I'll be able to get it. :)

But seriously, I hope FFXIII is more like X than XII. I just couldn't get into XII for some reason.
 
Square Enix said they don't want it turn based, but rather a smooth, fluid fighting scheme. It's going to be totally unique to the series, and the genre. Basically, the fight scheme you see in the trailer is the one they want to use. They want you to pick a few actions, then have your character/party use them, almost utilizing the actions in a cinematic way. Square Enix has also said that they took most of their motivation for the fighting system from Final Fantasy: Advent Children, if that makes any sense to either of you.

I'm not too sure on what the leveling up system is going to be. I actually think they might go back to actually giving your characters levels and let that be that. Maybe let you choose which role you want for each player. Only time will tell. 8)
 
The gameplay and cinematics sound very good for the future of Final fantasy as heard from Strubes. I cant wait until it comes out. I'm counting the days....*sigh*

I disagree. I felt that FF's combat had just gone too long with no change, and I here 12's was pretty good (I don't have the money to buy it yet lol).

Anyways, I'm not surprised its coming in 2009 because 12 came out like 6 months ago. I really wouldn't expect a sequel as large as a Final Fantasy game to be able to be made in a year....

That was how I fell in love with the series....i do miss it..I just want to see a current gen with turnbased that good.
 
What I liked about FFX's system though was that you could switch out characters in the middle of battle. I can't think of any other rpg that does that.

12 is NOT good. At all. The combat was a mess.

I loved the turnbased, especailly X's. It let you use actual strategy. Enix are totally losing it.
 
Yeah I liked the strategy of FFX as well. Especially the fight with Yunalesca, where you actually had to keep some of the characters as zombies so that she couldn't wipe out your whole party. :D
