QUOTE The concept for Final Fantasy XIII's battle system is to maintain the strategic nature of command-based battles. The system stemmed from a desire to create battles similar to those found in Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. Like those in Final Fantasy XII, enemies are integrated into the world environment. However, unlike Final Fantasy XII, battles do not take place in the same "dimension", but rather a short flash transports players to a new battle screen, separate from the main playing world. The Active Time Battle (ATB) system will return, but it will work differently from its predecessors. Users will be able to chain large numbers of commands together in order to achieve attack bonuses. Trailers; Music; (The Official Battle Theme) (The Official Boss Theme) (The Official Fanfare Theme) Gameplay; (Snow summoning Shiva) Characters and their summons: (Description) QUOTE Main Playable Characters * Lightning (ライトニング Raitoningu) — The protagonist of the game, Lightning is deemed an adversary of humankind, having been chosen by the fal'Cie to bring about the end of the world. She is an agile fighter, who wields a sword that can transform into a gun, called "Blaze Edge". She is described as a female version of Cloud Strife. * Snow Villiers (スノウ・ヴィリアース Sunou Viriāsu) — Leader of Team Nora and a l'Cie, Snow Villiers is a sturdy man whose mannerism is reputed to resemble that of a cowboy. He is blonde and has a well-built body. Snow uses his bare hands to fight, but his weapon is actually his coat. In battles, patterns will appear on his coat. * Oerba Dia Vanille (ヲルバ=ダイア・ヴァニラ Woruba Daia Vanira) — A young and spirited girl, Vanille is a citizen of Pulse and ostensibly a subject of great interest to both the Sanctum and the resistance group led by Snow Villiers. She carries a heavy burden she is not initially aware of. She wears a savannah-style outfit, and her weapon is called the Bind Rod, which has a head piece that looks like a pair of antlers. Its body contains four long wires with hooks that deal damage to enemies by latching on and pulling. * Sazh Katzroy (サッズ・カッツロイ Sazzu Kattsuroi) — A middle-aged man with dark skin and afro hair. He owns a baby Chocobo that lives in his hair. He is described as a gentle person who is easily reduced to tears. He fights with two pistols that can be combined into a rifle. * Hope Estheim (ホープ・エストハイム Hōpu Esutohaimu) — A young boy with silvery-blonde hair who along with his mother belonged to the group of exiles carried in the train that Lightning stopped. He blames Snow for his mother's death. He wields boomerangs in battle. * Oerba Yun Fang (ヲルバ=ユン・ファング Woruba Yun Fangu) — A wild-looking dark-haired woman with a large tattoo on one arm and a mark of the l'Cie on the other. She initially works for the Sanctum, and uses spears as her weapon of choice. What do you guys think so far? I can't wait for it to come out in March 9th! :) |

I kinda agree, but it's always nice to try something new. My friends from Japan told me that this game gave could give people mix reviews.

bought it yesterday. I'm almost finished with the pulse fal-cie place. I haven't had much time to play. Always working. :P
I like the game, my fav is still viii, however this game has a good time with switching around the characters so you don't play as one. I don't like that you can only control the leader (unless you can change who the leader is). Favorite character as of right now is lightning. least favorite are Vanille, Snow, and Hope. Their attacks just seem slow... |

My favorite character is lightning, too. I like Vanille and Hope, Snow reminds me too much of Wakka.

What the f*** is the point of carrying a phoneix down if as soon as your leader dies, its game over?!

bought it yesterday. I'm almost finished with the pulse fal-cie place. I don't like that you can only control the leader (unless you can change who the leader is). the first chapter? the battle system gets MUCH better and more complex starting chapter 3, introducing roles and paradigm shifts. the styles of how the characters fight will be more expanded.. did you get the strategy guide? it helps a lot. =P My favorite character is lightning, too. I like Vanille and Hope, Snow reminds me too much of Wakka. i think snow's friend ( the one with the spiky red hair ) looks more like wakka and acts like him. my favorite character so far would have to be lightning ( because of how fast she is and how she attacks when she gets a fourth ATB gauge). my least favorite would have to be snow. idk, he isn't that much playable compared to the other characters throughout the story. What the f*** is the point of carrying a phoneix down if as soon as your leader dies, its game over?! that's why you have medics in your party to heal or you just need to use potions at the right time. |

I'm only on chapter 5, those Feral Behemoth enimies are difficult to beat! try a preemptive attack. if that doesn't work, then go back and sneak again. This topic is just hilarious. Gotta read it. |

^ I wish that I could sneak pass it. I'm at the Gripa Whitewood, and the area where I need to go to is blocked off. I can only gian access if I defeat it. I'm fighting with Lightning and Hope.
