Wednesday Is Final Fantasy XIII Trailer Day

By Spencer . January 26, 2009 . 12:22pm

Wednesday Is Final Fantasy XIII Trailer Day The timer that appeared on the US and European Final Fantasy XIII sites leads up to a trailer. Square Enix updated the Japanese Final Fantasy XIII page with a similar, but less ambiguous countdown clock – it’s linked to a menu item that says “trailer”.

 

Since the countdown clock is the same in every region the “surprise” is probably going to be the same. So, get out your planner a Final Fantasy XIII trailer, not necessarily a new trailer, is scheduled for Wednesday morning 11AM EST / 8AM PST.

 

While you’re waiting for that check out some screenshots of Chocobo lover and Final Fantasy XIII party member Sazh Katzroy.

    Now thats some hair, gotta love the afro.

    Please be gameplay footage… please be gameplay footage…

    Honestly I was not expecting much from the countdown. Wasn't expecting more than the E3 '08 trailer. But now that it's going to be put on the Japanese page means that it may be a newer trailer (such as the Jump Festa 09), because Japan has already had most older trailers released in some format.

    I'm preparing for disappointment though… Given the lack of any real substantial game information Square-Enix puts out (new characters and 2 new CG screenshots don't count!), I can't expect them to make a 180 and blow us away.

    Well the demo is kinda not far now so I expect a gameplay trailer finally.
    Iam so hyped for this game and the unbelievably amazing looking Versus I have a feeling that Square Enix going really all out with these games more than any game in their history,

    With luck could also be the day for the Crystal Bearers new trailer after more than a year of unexplainable blackout when what was shown was ingame, contrary to FFXIII “fashion” since the beggining and it's unending fmv's who sport more style than substance.

    I hope that, while not realistic to expect, crystal bearers trailer reception rapes this one, they deserve it a lot more; seeing that is no less than the FFIX team, and I couldn't care less for Nomura and his bishies crap; as well as Square-Enix who should know where their priorities should lie.

    Their FAIL to hype what they should be hyping (what comes first), and lack balance is astouning

    Get real lostinblue. No one cares about some SD PS2 looking Wii game. (Well maybe only you) Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII are were it's at. HD graphics FTW. I'm so glad Square-Enix killed that game.

  • QBasic

    Uh…wait. What? What's Crystal Bearers again? Must've been something lost in the mountain of mediocrity, labeled as “difficult to find interesting.”

    I think…

    These new screen shots look quite amazing. I must say at first the char design didn't grab me, but I'm starting to be intrigued, Lightning kind of grows on me now.

    That fro is certainly something, and the cute chocobo chick :) The lighting reminds me of Mako reactors.

  • Andy

    What do you mean by priorities? Final Fantasy is one of Square-Enix's flagship series, a game with an enormous fanbase all over the world, ready and willing to throw cash at them the moment the game is released. I think hyping the product that pays is knowing where one's priorities lie.

  • Hello Hello

    It would be nice if the end of the trailer gave us a real release date for the game (JP version of course).

  • Nika

    awww what a cute chocobo.
    and some guy beside him.

    no honestly, I do not like the design.
    maybe his personality will make up for it?

  • lostinblue

    well… I don't care about Nomura games too, no matter where platform they are. Why the “get real”? I never said it would gain more attention, I said it should; which are very different things.

    Doesn't look PS2 though, and even if it did I don't care; FF9 ftw, they should have gotten at least a shot into a numbered FF last gen on PS2, they should have budget for a game rivaling FFXIII now. And are making spin-off's instead; wow Nomura-Enix sure knows how to treat their best teams (and leading platforms)

  • lostinblue

    by priorities I mean they're ignoring the Wii and making it their spin-off fest until Dragon Quest X comes around in 2012 or so; all this while they're investing themselves silly on HD platforms that barely sell in japan.

    But no use in discussing this; as I said, I'm not really interested in titles like this even if I'll buy them someday anyway just because I'm a collector; for instance I have a PSP and my hype for Agito XIII is zero, as is the hype for these. That and the hype for any Kingdom Hearts game coming out (mobile, DS, psp) is zero too, as the hype for a KH3 would be, zero.

    You know, its good to see a coloured person in a FF game again. The last we saw was Barrett. I loved FFXII but the characters were so boring, no variety, nothing different. Only the Viera, and she was cool, but there was nothing else. Just caucasian looking humans. I hope this game has a non human character in it as well, I miss characters like Red XIII and Kimari.
