Why Final Fantasy XIII will be the best yet

[mp*]

Taking place in the dual locations of Pulse (a scummy underworld) and Cocoon (a heavily regulated Utopia), Final Fantasy XIII features a trademark bewildering plot of political intrigue and warring factions, characters of steely determination and sudden mood swings, and a vast scope which will suck dozens of hours from your life. Here are the reasons why it will be an instant classic:1) Battle ModeFFXIII will retain the fast-paced, real-time battle system seen in FFXII, relying on command inputs to decide a scrap. 2) Moves ListBattle commands are selected from this rolling menu, and they're then stacked up in a queue.3) ATB PointsCommands will cost ATB points, as in FFXII, but now you'll be able to execute orders as the bar refills.4) Mystery GirlLightning is the codename of this mysterious girl on a mission to destroy the hovering city of Cocoon.5) New EngineThe game is powered by the White Engine, Square-Enix's all-singing new game engine which will power new cutscene-like real-time visuals and awesome effects.6) Watch the MeterThis appears to be the Overclock meter, which is filled as you fight. Once full, the selected character enters a trance-like state of heightened focus.7) Worlds ApartFFXIII is split between two worlds - Pulse and Cocoon. The latter is an idealised government state defended by machines; the former is where those who don't fit in are banished.8) Defence ForceLightning has been chosen to breach Cocoon's considerable defenses, but it ain't gonna be easy.9) Morphing RangersCall on these creatures to morph into a helpful machine (like a bike).10) Rock HardLightning's been chosen by Pulse's mysterious Crystal, a powerful life form with the ability to change destiny. Cocoon has its own Crystal to oversee and protect the city.11) Weight GainLightning can control gravity. She has a gun-sword hybrid, too.12) Online Worlds?Expect an online element to make it into FFXIII, featuring large-scale battles and new, online-only enemies.

The traditional final fantasy series finished at FFX for me.If square wanted to try out something different they should of main an entirely new game and just kept the final fantasy series as it's always been.But hopefully this new game will be better than XII.*Pours out liquor for FF*[PipeDream] Maybe they're just trying this battle system out and they'll return to the normal one after this game [/PipeDream]

I aint guna lieIm fairly disappointed.They should just look @ the sales & support of all their titles.FF7 is STILL the best one, being 10 years old.10 flipping years.All these new fangled things aren't guna bring back what they lost.BTW WHEN AERIS DIED IN 7.. I CRIED LIKE A BITCH. DID NOT SEE IT COMING.(it was also the fact my fav character, sephiroth.. delivered the slice that killed her so swiftly)Bring back the PROPER ATBBring back Bahamut ZeroBring back the PROPER CHOCOBO'sBring back LINKED EFFECT MATERIA (or a sort of decent junction system.. VIII's was decent)Bring back the months and months of playing the bastard cause u still need to get everything & defeat the secret bosses.sh*t.

yep that game will be purchased when it comes out... It even resembles Final Fantasy (it really reminds me of 10 though with the Machina looking enemies), previous Square-Enix guys are said to be working on it and the man him self Nobou Uematsu is helping with the OST.at the momentLost Odyssey >>>> Final Fantasy xIII
