Final Fantasy-religionens tråd - SKJUL SPOILERS!

[IcedInsanity]

Eg har japse PSN..

 

Får prøve det da...

[Dunedain]

Fått prøvd det, LunaticFanatic?

[IcedInsanity]

Hihi nei...

 

Har hatt mye å gjøre..men skal få sett på det..

[Dunedain]

Interviewer (hereafter "I"): First of all, we'd like to hear what kind of year you've had.

 

Kitase (hereafter "K"): This year I was set to work on Sigma Harmonics and Final Fantasy Dissidia, two portable games.

 

I: What was your impression of the game industry as a whole this year?

 

K: That'll also turn into talk of portable games, but I can't help but think that this past year, portable game systems have become even more a 'typical' thing. That is, before the DS was released, playing portable games outside would get you a bunch of strange looks from others (he's talking about adults playing portables), but now it's totally normal for people to play.

 

I: I see. Incidentally, is there anything you observed in regards to already released (not sure if 'released' is the right word....) hardware?

 

K: Personally, I think the casual games available for download were fun, and I played them often. The few hundred yen price is quite nice. I also often buy extra content for games, haha.

 

I: Do you plan to add those elements to the games you're working on yourself, Mr. Kitase?

 

K: I wonder, haha. For example, with a game type like FF13, you really have to put the whole thing in one package, so it's not easy to do that (add extra content for purchase). If we made plans to make new downloadables, it would turn into a full blown game, I think.

 

I: Then, what kind of year do you think 2009 will be for you personally?

 

K: It's the year that XIII speeds toward facing completion. Together with that, I want to see the PS3['s popularity] gain ground, too. In spring, there's the plans for the demo to come out, so if we're (the industry) given the energy to speed both along, it would be great.

 

I: In order for the hardware to catch on, what do you think it needs more of?

 

K: Of course, having interesting and fun software for the system would make users think "I want to play those games."

 

I: If that [software] was FFXIII, that would be great, wouldn't it?

 

K: Of course, if FFXIII became a reason for people to buy a PS3, I would be most happy. From FFXIII's announcement until now, we've shown much pre-rendered material. However, after we get into 2009, I'm thinking we'll be showing more realtime rendered material. In the demo, I want to show the definite form of FFXIII, and gradually build on the game from there.

 

I: In the demo, to what degree will we be able to play?

 

K: There's still quite some time before the game comes out, so the demo will probably extend to 'pinning down the foundations,' but I believe you will be able to properly experience 'the new Final Fantasy on the Playstation 3.' By all means, please try it out.

 

I: So 2009 will be a year focused on FFXIII, it seems?

 

K: 3rd Birthday and Agito XIII are also being developed side by side [with FFXIII], but it's certain that the focus will be more on XIII. The entire work is quite large, and it will still take some time, but it seems the base pieces have been finished, and it seems like the completion is coming into view.

 

I: It seems 2009 will be quite busy, doesn't it?

 

K: Constructing the foundation of FFXIII has taken a long period of time, so I want this year to be the one to bring the fruits of our labor, I think. Also, for people to feel the force of FFXIII as a unified work, we'll be doing various promotions. Right now, the public isn't very involved, but we need to push FFXIII out into the light, I think. If we produce a great work and rouse demand [for games], Japan's economy could brighten up, maybe, haha. By all means, I'd love to see the game industry pull up the economy, you know?

[S-r-ex]

Heh...en såmn "Hi there baby, I'm handsome and I know it!"-type!

[IcedInsanity]

Nei FY FAEN han var latterlig.

[TanTheMan]

Jeg tipper han blir fyren som gjentar seg selv og kommer med morsomme kommentarer for å gjøre stemningen litt lettere. Sikkert glad i damer. En du enten elsker eller hater.

A scan from the latest issue of Japanese gaming and manga magazine V Jump reveals the first new playable black character to appear in Final Fantasy since FFVII, Sazh Kalzroy.

 

Sahz is an unusual design from FF artist Tetsuya Nomura, foregoing the normal pretty boy looks for a much more masculine looking black character, the first to appear as a playable character in the main series since Final Fantasy VII's Barret Wallace. According to the text, Sahz has a deep love for chocobos, likes the color green, and dual-wields pistols.

 

Hopefully Sahz won't end up being nearly the stereotype that Barret was, despite his 1970's throwback hairdo. As PSP Fanboy points out, that expression on his face certainly seems to point towards a guy who is a bit more lover and a bit less fighter. Check out the full scan below.

"His name is サッズ・カッツロイ 'Sazh Katzroy', and he is a middle aged man. He dual wields pistols, has a baby chocobo, is a gentle hearted person easily moved to tears, possesses good judgment and a sense of social responsibility.

[IcedInsanity]

Irvine Kinneas anyone?

 

[S-r-ex]

Irvine Kinneas anyone?

 

Men i helv....bare at Sahz faktisk ser kjekk ut, I motsetning til Irvine som jeg først trodde var en kjerring når jeg så CGI-introen hans på internett....

 

EDIT: Litt ny info på Sazh, det ser ut som om sveisen hans er redet til chocobo'en: http://finalfantasy-xiii.net/2009/01/16/fu...translated.html

Hiver meg på her, jeg er en ekstrem fan av FF serien.

Nr 7 er favoritten.

Har spillt igjennom 1-10(pluss 10,2) Ikke spillt 12 enda, men har den

Eneste grunnen jeg skaffet meg 360 var for FF13

Misliker ingen av dem.

[Tor92]

Eneste grunnen jeg skaffet meg 360 var for FF13

 

Da gjorde du en tabbe, hadde du skaffet deg ps3 kunne du fått FFXIII Versus også

[Dunedain]

Hmmm:

 

 

= Kvinnelig

 

Final Fantasy XIII is set in a futuristic world controlling advanced technology and magical crystals.

=

 

Snow is the head of the resistance group against the theocratic government of Cocoon.

=

 

Vanille is a citizen of Pulse and ostensibly a subject of great interest to both the Holy Government and the resistance group led by Snow Villiers. She is a l'Cie, and carries a heavy burden she is not initially aware of herself.

=

 

 

 

Flere som ser enkelte likheter?

[TanTheMan]

Haha, jeg trenger visst ikke å bry meg med å spille VII.

 

"Hoveddama" (Lightning?) skulle visst være en slags kvinnelig versjon av Cloud da. Sa ikke noen som utviklet spillet det?
