FFXIII and FF Versus XIII details revealed

Comments

By: YopY On: 02:12 Jun 8th, 2006 Offline	When designing the female character seen in the FF XIII screenshots, Nomura was asked to design a 'female version of Cloud'. loool, already people have complained she looked too much like older Nomura characters. Apparently, that was the big idea :lol:

I'm looking far more forward to FFXIII than XII. -When asked about the main character of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, the reply was that the trailer for Versus would open with a quote from Shakespeare about how there is no absolute good or evil. And THAT does sound interesting. Give me a main character with some bollocks. kthx.
By: The Man On: 09:54 Jun 8th, 2006 Offline	I like the Shakespeare quote. And the bit about Nomura's character design made me lawl. Still on the fence about whether these are going to be any good, though. It's kind of odd that they're apparently setting these in the same world but not having the characters meet each other. Guess we'll see how it goes.

Well, an earlier article mentioned that the bars on the female character's shoulder signified rank and social status. It's possible that in the FFXIII world the social classed are isolated. The woman may be of, say, a military class, while the man is from some type of aristrocracy. Thus they don't intermingle.

The more I think about this news, the more I hope the Shakespeare quote they selected as an introduction will be indicative of the content of the games. I'm getting tired of RPGs that rehash the same old tired clichés about good against evil. Here's hoping that FFXIII represents something more substantial.

Hopefully they'll be able to create something different - and actually be able to pull it off.

Problem with anti-heroes is that no matter how evil they are, they'll always finish a story properly. Well, usually always. Plus, when you play an evil character long enough, he'll turn good in your eyes anyways.
By: The Man On: 03:06 Jun 9th, 2006 Offline	I don't really care if the character is still something of a hero, as long as they don't try to make him perfect by the end. And as long as his flaw isn't that he whines on and on and on like Tidus did.

He's self serving, arrogant, egomaniacal, sadistic and a cold blooded killer. By the time LoK Defiance ends, we admire Kain as a character, but he doesn't lose those properties which make him such an evil bastard. It's capable to successfully pull off an anti-hero, I think.
