Am I the only one that sees something very wrong looking in the second picture? As in “Is that your gun, or are you just happy to see me?”

@arollo – I did enjoy Crisis Core a lot, mainly because of the prequel story about Zack. But like you I do wish it’s a true turn-based RPG as well. The screen shots look really nice. It does seem like SE would inject the constant action to spice things up during battles, but sometimes they could get too disorienting, like Last Remnant w/ cameras flying every which way.

I just hope it’s turn based, and not “turn based but also action” in the style of Crisis Core.

I just hope that the text doesn’t look terrible on SD televisions.

Meh, i dont think there will be a FF13 + FFV13 Bundle anytime soon, because FFV13 is going to be released later than FF13 imo…
And i think its good like that so you can enjoy FF13 then FFV13.
Or maybe twisted? Dont know i think FFV13 is the last to come out.

I’ll hope the battles are fast despite the cinematic feel. A story not involving characters overcoming their personal shortcomings through saving the world would be a plus, too.

From these screens and others I’ve seen, the battle system looks like a cross between FFX and XII. On screen enemies, with a seamless ATB battle menu. Kinda like Chrono Trigger. The launch command reminds me of Grandia 3. I can see it being implemented similarly as well, with multiple person aerial combos. I just hope the battles are not too hands off.

I wonder what enormous(and expensive)special edition/combo they will come up with. My guess is a FF13+Versus+Console.

It’ll be interesting to see what the final product turns out to be.
