Hopeful New Final Fantasy 13 Screenshots

16
A fresh batch of screenshots from Final Fantasy XIII has been produced by Famitsu, largely featuring the recently announced character of Hope Estheim (pictured below, left).

The anticipated RPG is still planned to hit North America early next year on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

      I wouldn't be so quick to judge; I am playing FFXII right now and it is great.

      The story and characters are extremely well written, and I have Persona 4 fresh enough in my mind to compare.

          Sounds like you should play FFXII. The "main" character isn't really part of the story at all, and even the more important characters are important for logical reasons (like being the ruler of the nation which has been conquered)

            You guys realize they dumped the people that made FF 12 good right?

            This is going to suck ass.

              If you honestly think the game is going to suck ass, I don't know what you tell you. Yes, Matsuno is gone and the team is largely a different group of people, but really, Square has never produced a *bad* Final Fantasy game.

              From the demo, I can tell I'm going to love the game. The setting is interesting, the characters not entirely cliche and ridiculous, and needless to say the game looks and sounds fantastic. I have no idea if the plot will be any good, but based on Square's history, I'm guessing it will.

      Kind of feel that way after seeing the sad look on the blond girl-boy. http://www.shacknews.com/screenshots.x?gallery=12483&game_id=4878&id=138380#img138384

      Tetsuya Nomura ruined Final Fantasy. If they kept Yoshitake Amano, the games would have been different imo.
