Final Fantasy XIII

Final Fantasy XIII (FF 13) is scheduled to release in Japan on December 17th, 2009 with a North America release scheduled for sometime in 2010.

I will be the first to admit I was not a big Final Fantasy fan at first.  I liked Secret of Mana over Final Fantasy and couldn’t get into the turn-based system.  I have always been a Square fan, but it wasn’t until I played Final Fantasy VIII that got into the Final Fantasy franchise.  After playing it, I went back and got FF VII and eventually all the remade games released on the Playstation.

I think part of the reason I wasn’t a fan at first was I was still pretty young and couldn’t appreciate the games.  When I was a teenager I could appreciate the gameplay and story more, which I think is what kept drawing me back to the franchise.  Most of the Final Fantasy games have good stories and gameplay.  So when I heard about Final Fantasy I was instantly interested.

Here is the Final Fantasy XIII E3 Trailer.  This trailer got me amped, especially when I saw the gameplay in action around 2:04.  I knew I would have to play this game.

Tokyo Game Show 2009 trailer.  Only recently saw this when browsing the video marketplace on Xbox Live.  After seeing this, I can honestly say this game will be truly epic.  Square continues to take the CG in games to the next level.  The graphics of so amazing and the story looks like it will be quite memorable.  And the gameplay looks pretty fluid from these videos, hope that’s the case in the actual product.

Of course leave it to Square Enix to go big with this release.  The game was originally advertised for the Playstation 3, so you can bet they would work out a deal Sony to get a bundle put together for the release.  Sure that will help sell some PS3 hardware to fans wanting to play FF XIII on the PS3

White PS3 slim with our main protagonist Lightning gracing the top of the new console.  The pink may turn off some people, but looks cool to me.  Those interested in picking up this console can head over to PlayAsia to secure a unit when preorder begins.

For the rest of us, you can pre-order a copy of the game for you either the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 (PS3) home consoles.

Not much on the Final Fantasy 13’s North America site quite yet, but if you stick around you will at least be treated with some very high resolution CG images of four of your main characters.  Once again I have to applaud Square Enix’s skill with the CG ^o^  So life-like!!

Again we have Lightning.  Apparently when they designed her, she was suppose to be a “female Cloud Strife” but I hope she is more emotionally stable ^^

This guy is named Snow.  He reminds me of someone I know.  From the trailer I gather he has a big part in the overall story.

This cutie’s name is Vanille.  Don’t really know what her story is, but sure by the time the end credits of the game roll I will.

And this guy is Sazh.  I am digging this guy for a couple of reasons.  Big one being he is a gun-slinger and apparently uses fire magic.  Plus he has a sweet afro.  ^^;

You can visit the website and download high resolution wallpapers of all four characters.  Certainly can’t wait to play this, how may of you plan on giving FF XIII a play (or pass)?

Is Final Fantasy 13 on your list of games to play?
