Minrad posted:The Prologue theme? That was an FF4 song before it got redone for 12's main menu for some reason. (Edit: Ah, that was Nobuo's contribution to the soundtrack. It was the only song he did for 12) The Prologue Theme is also known as the main Final Fantasy theme and it appears in almost every game, but usually at the end, although sometimes it's near the beginning - it was at the beginning of I, III, and IV, and then they decided to start using it as ending music until they put it in the beginning of XII and XIV. I think II and X are the only numbered games lacking it. Not sure about XIII. It's not as well known as the prelude, Chocobo or victory fanfare music though as it generally shows up in the end credits.

Yeah, I would probably buy a couple Final Fantasy iOS games, but I think they are absurdly overpriced. SE's games seem like they are literally the most expensive games on the entire apple store. I haven't seen any other $15 iPhone games other than FFIII and Tactics.

They should just make XIII sequels from now on and then when they get to XIII-14 start going backwards through the catalogue and doing the same thing with every other game. That is their hundred year plan. Hopefully I will live to see Final Fantasy II-8.

I hope XIII-3 busts out some new antagonists and conflicts that have nothing to do with the previous games except maybe one instance of absurdly vague wording from an obscure datalog entry that could be interpreted as foreshadowing by idiots.

It'll be a little blurb in the datalog: "And after the epic duel - a clash that would reverberate through out the ages - a bitter standoff, which would shake the very foundations of the Pulse itself - Caius said, 'I have to go now, my timeline needs me.'" Note: Caius died on the way back to his home timeline.

Here's hoping you're right about this. People in that one area in 13-2 kept saying "look it's the 13th ark!" and I could never figure out what the gently caress they were talking about, so it'll be nice to see that thread picked up. I can't wait to climb aboard that thing and play a rehash of literally the most boring dungeon in either game.

I wouldn't mind if it's some Kingdom Hearts/God of War mashup where Lighting kills the Final Fantasy 13's Pantheon in ~fabulous~ fashion like we thought 13-2 was gonna be. I'd make a smarmy joke that the third will invariably poo poo up Lightning the way it happened to Aya Brea, but Square has been weirdly good about that. I got tons of issues with the sort of character Light is, but I'm very glad she exists and is popular in the fandom because it might make creators more receptive to including less (traditionally) cliche characters in other games. Also I may not be remembering my playthrough correctly, or have been softened by the fandom for it, but was Vanille really a terrible character in regards to the *plot* or more she was terrible in execution by the designers? I don't really remember much about her besides being the designated cute one and being ambigiouslyBFF with Fang.

They do some interesting things with foreshadowing with her, and the fact that she is the only one in the know about what is going on and hiding it out of shame could be interesting but... they never really do anything meaningful with it. She lies, people suffer, and it never really comes to anything.

She was like 2/3 of a meaningful character, with the last third taken by Fang. If they wrote her out of the game and gave almost everything to Vanille, it would've been much better.

glod posted:Well it probably works in reverse too. Take the important stuff out of Vanille's character and give it to Fang, either way's fine. The tension between Fang and Vanille is pretty important though and you can't have that without the two characters. Fang is willing to sacrifice everything and anything for the sake of Vanille even if Vanille doesn't want her too and Vanille is unwilling to sacrifice others for the sake of herself or Fang. Having watched the entire set of cinematics over again a month or two ago, I'm okay with Vanille's character, but her design and voice are not okay.

I liked everything about Vanille. In fact, I liked the entire playable cast except Lightning and Feng. Light because she was a one-note bitch for so long that by the time she developed I had stopped caring. And Feng because...well, no real reason. She just didn't interest me. Vanille was good because she had excellent dynamic with the rest of the cast. The section with her and Sazh was very enjoyable. It's also notable because the scene where Sazh confronts her is the only time when an eidolon appearing made loving sense. Every other time had the most ridiculously forced angsting.

Just get to work on FF15 already, SE. I know you've sunk a lot of money on FF13 and have to recoup your losses by rehashing the same engine under the supposed idea that you're creating this vast intricate story of interdimensional casinos and throwing Moogles off cliffs, but Final Fantasy XIII-3 isn't exactly the game people are clamoring for. If you're that desperate for money, you could always remake FF4 again for the Wii U. The main screen could be fancy 3D while the tablet screen would have the original 2D sprite graphics.

I'm pretty sure XIII and XIII-2 were financial successes. It doesn't make sense for them to release XV on this console generation and XIII's engine though. A XIII-3 makes sense financially for them and they just happened to set it up for a sequel.

Winks posted:I'm pretty sure XIII and XIII-2 were financial successes. I agree, XIII's long development time and XIV being online (not to mention its botched launch) pretty much assured that XV is going to be next generation. Especially with the announcement of the 720 and PS4 likely to be made within the next year. XIII-3 is the perfect way to get a little more revenue out of this generation before people start seriously thinking about the new consoles.

Winks posted:I'm pretty sure XIII and XIII-2 were financial successes. Yeah, they both made Square Enix a lot of money. The only concern going into XIII-3 is that XIII-2's sales dropped significantly despite its better critical reception (1.96 million sales as opposed to 4.83 million according to vgchartz.com). Something else to be said is that this series is in a way an experiment for the Final Fantasy franchise with its quicker release dates and DLC and such.

Kinda weird to hear that 13-2 was a big financial success, given that it's already $20 at Best Buy (which is why I just picked it up). I guess it was a lot cheaper to make, though. EDIT: My brick and mortar store; it's still $40 online and like $25 at Amazon I guess. Maybe worth checking into if you've got one on your commute or were planning on buying a TV this week or something! Baku fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Jul 6, 2012 |

Personally I couldn't care less about Zack and I don't know why they made CC. What I always wanted was a prequel about the original war with Jenova. It would star a party of Cetra as they futilely try to stop the abomination as it kills the rest of their race over the course of the game. Finally the heroes defeat and seal Jenova. Then you could even have a nice epilogue flash of Gast and Hojo finding the sealed jenova.

Making CC lets them retread old ground and involve a Cloud and Sephiroth feel-alike and some painful Nomura OC characters, though it's a happy accident it's well recieved. None of them really give a drat about building up the FF7 universe (the more-than-likely  PC rerelease of the game to me is a sign they don't really care about the game per se anymore) in the sense of the world rather than the handful of characters and the star power they have.Hell, I still think Midgar, even in its unspecific smashed-up version (how many people are displaced? How smashed up are what parts? What effect would all that lifestream sloshing around have? etc.) itself could be a great setting for an entire game. As for characters, you got plenty, including one who is a canonical treasure hunter. Isn't it suggested to be one of the largest "normal" cities in the franchise? At least Ivalice is pretty cool, but I'm still boggled anyone gives a poo poo about FF13's setting the way Square seems to think the place has easy appeal. keet fucked around with this message at 07:59 on Jul 6, 2012 |

Well I guess that's the thing: as much as I hate FF13, it's absolutely true that it has an easy appeal in the sense that a five-year-old can enjoy it the exact same as a fifty-year-old can enjoy it because it has these pretty visuals with way too much bloom. I swear, that poo poo is like the '10s version of the lens flare. As a storytelling setting? Hahaha. Anything that requires you to read more than, say, five to ten NPC boxes of flavor to engage you or for you to sufficiently enjoy it or tell you everything meaningful you need to know about a place is an absolute failure. It's supposed to be a fusion of visual and descriptive elements, not LOOK AT MY LEVEL DESIGN and a college essay about what this place is supposed to be. Midgar's a great example of it. Visually, you already know it's a shithole and how squalid the conditions its residents live in are. The attitude of the NPCs and the dialogue in the story bits just reinforces everything you already know. Compare to FF13: "OH MY GOD GUYS PULSE IS A HELL ON EARTH" *sweeping breathtaking this-it-totally-not-the-Calm-Lands, guys* "HELL ON EARTH" *fifty encyclopedia entries* xXx~*~fabula nova crystallis~*~xXx Fur20 fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Jul 6, 2012 |
