Finitiae on Rumors (FF Verses 13 & KH3)

Hajime Tabata is co-directing XV now (Before Crisis: FFVII, CC, KH: Coded, 3rd Birthday, and FF Type-0). My interest has increased a ton now, a guy who is all about design and not just conceptually flashy stuff.

My bad meant Dream Drop Distance the 3ds one. BBS, the psp one, was a prologue explaining how Xehanort became a heartless and the past life of most of the Org XIII people, a lot were apprentices to Ansem. It also explains how Sora and Riku get the ability to wield keyblades. I liked the movie for BBS, but I'm sure they'll explain to an extent so its easy to play. KH2 was easy to play without CoM. I'll watch the 3D movie sooner or later so I have an idea.

Birth by Sleep is the PSP game no? Also hopefully they will make sure that everything is explained to those of us that didn't want to play the spin offs. lol.

I need to get a 3ds to play birth by sleep. KH3 is must likely gonna take place after BBS and in that game they show the true purpose of Org XIII. I won't spoil, but I read some stuff about the game for WoH and apparently it sets up for another game. Most likely the last.

Good news for you two, Toriyama has been working on KHIII (during an interview Nomura says “Tori” which presumably would mean Motomu Toriyama from XIII/X again). Not sure if there's another on the team by that name, but we definitely know of this Toriyama.

There's a chance of error since the interview was conducted by a foreign site (plus SE's inaccurate translator).

Finally saw the versus trailer and the art is amazing, but not sure how I feel about the battle system. Just gotta wait when they show more.

I'm looking forward to KH3. I've been replaying the other game or at least watching the "movies" on youtube for the ones I can't play. I love the series and will be picking on KH 1.5 and definitely getting that art book.

I wish they'd can LR and use its battle mechanics elsewhere. XIII and Lightning are very noxious as a brand (there's no question why they'd otherwise opt to change the other two FNC titles) and have become exhausting to hear about because of its obsessive hack of a writer.

I'm not interested in Lightning Returns at all, I still haven't gone back to complere XIII-2, which when I stopped I was 14 hours into.

Gameplay demo for Lighting Returns leaked from E3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?f.....CIFQNPuujk

This seems to be much closer to ATB/Class-based evolution than what wa sshown in Versus (geared more towards blending KH/FF).

The only kind of approach I'll ever take, surely. I'll say it again, were it not for the environment design and art direction in this game my interest would have diminished long ago. The former brings to the table a bit of incentive to keep an eye out for this game as exploration and level design could be interesting.

I've read the Leviathan section being called the most "epic" thing in FF to date; however we've seen plenty of this in past games (IV, V [Syldra], and VI all come to mind here with giant sea serpent attacks or protects characters event). The major distinction is how they're able to portray these events more explicitly by using hardware two decades past these games.

Kinda gotta take the wait and see approach with this, it's likely this stuff is not solid right now.

Oh yeah, the lighting and shaders here in this screencap from the trailer is remarkable:

However, the characters' field movements and combat actions would seem to clash with the realistic direction. That's probably the most grating part because it draws heavily on the goofy KH movement schemes.

I don't mind action RPGs like KH. However the best one on the PS2 isn't KH, it's Rogue Galaxy. Combat in it is exceptional.

The difference with XII is that you can pause (the whole purpose of ADB offers an alternative to Gambits) to select your attacks. Older KH games boiled down to straightforward mashing, a few shortcuts keys/buttons, and fumbling/sifting through menus if not assigned a shortcut.

Lol, well yeah that's going to be a major factor in how it plays. They'll have to get the menues cut down and all that. That's one reason I can't really deal with FFXII, navigating menues while trying to fight or evade at the same time is impossible.
