10 reasons why....

10 reasons why I and/or You should get a PS3 or if you already have one, for one of Square Enix's upcoming games - Final Fantasy Versus XIII

(P.S. Not Final Fantasy XIII which is coming out end of this year in Japan, and around April next year for the North America Version, however, Final Fantasy XIII is also worth getting)

1. The main character, the protagonist - Noctis Lucis Caelum, is so COOL!
Why? - He's fighting skills are not only cool and looks strong, but he has the ability to shield himself? and also, he is able to wield different kinds of weapons, unlike previous Final Fantasy series? BTW. he's a prince...








Isn't he COOL?????

2. The main girl character, most probably the antagonist - Stella Nox Fleuret, is also COOL!! Even though she is (I think) the bad guy
Why? - She is most probably as strong as Noctis, something not common in games as they always make the protagonists very strong, and perhaps the other party members are not as strong, especially the girls(However, I don't think this applies in Final Fantasy XIII)



3. This may be the darkest Final Fantasy ever....
Why? - Well, if you'll see the trailer (I'll post it below...), it starts off with a dark scene of a city during the night, and it's like in the beginning already the world is against the party, unlike the other Final Fantasy games, where maybe in the middle or so on where we see people hating...

4. The music "Somnus" is really nice...
Why? - The music for both the demo CD as well as the trailer has this song, and is quite emo IMO

5. The characters are appealing...
Why? - Almost every Final Fantasy game, the protagonist has a girl by his side, eg. Cloud has Tifa, Yuffie and Aeris in the beginning of the game; Squall has Rinoa, Selphie and Quistis, Zidane has Dagger aka Garnet, Eiko and Freya; Tidus has Yuna, Rikku and Lulu; Vaan has Ashe, Penelo and Fran. Who does Noctis have?? There's a possibility that Stella may join the party for a short while as there is a scene where she fights? Noctis (and Noctis looks as if he misses? her and he looks so innocent...) Noctis also has a few more alies :) All four has no names but they are shown in a few scenes in the trailer... One is known as "The Driver" cuz he was shown driving Noctis around in a black car(quite cool BTW!!) - maybe he's the driver and not a playable character??, "The Shotgun guy" - cuz he was holding a gun in his hands in one scene, and has quite a playful personality..., "The Scarred Guy" - Looks like Zack from Final Fantasy VII and perhaps have a playful personality as well and a few more that are revealed so far...




6. The protagonist's personality is different...
Why? - Acoording to the news so far... Noctis will be different than previous protagonists like Cloud from Final Fantasy VII and Squall from Final Fantasy VIII. Noctis will be in a way shy (well, kinda...) and a liitle bit of him is revealed through the trailer and the demo CD...

7. The graphics!! (Duh, PS3 mar...)
Why? - According to Wikipedia, Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be using the Crystal Tools which is supposed to allow highly detailed CGI to be rendered in real-time. Which means, the game will look more real, somewhat like Final Fantasy VII Advent Children.

8. The trailer is interesting to watch :)
Why? - Well, I'll post the vid later, but the main point is that, some trailers tell you everything, while some tells you nothing, and some are kind of "crap". But the Final Fantasy Versus XIII does not tell you everything, yet it does not tell you anything. Don't get it? It means that the trailer keeps you want to know more, cause not much is revealed!

9. You can expect literature in the game
Why? - In the beginning, there's a quote from William Shakespere (I think it's from Hamlet, it I'm not mistaken). "There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so - William Shakespeare" And there is most probably a Romeo and Juliet theme in this game.

10. Because it's a Final Fantasy game!!
Why? - So far, all Final Fantasy games were all great, so why not this?? IMO, I think this beats Final Fantasy XIII, but only God knows which will be better....

There are so many more information that can be found regarding this game, although not much, but enough to tell you that it will be good. The gameplay should be quite interesting as well... Okay, trailer time. BTW!! This trailer does not belong to me, I just want to post it up so you can see for yourself how hyped I am over this short vid...





some extra scenes in this one...



From the demo CD



Enjoy!!! <3 Final Fantasy Versus XIII!!!
