  • terrible quality remove this video

  • ehm mein hintern ist geil

  • the game looks nothing like this trailer haha the battle system at least. still great game and plan on getting FF13-2

  • Square Enix registered a domain for FF13-3!!!!!They may have done it just so domain squatters don't get it. Or this might actually be in the works!

  • FF13 is the biggest disappointment in gaming history. FF is dead.

  • If anyone noticed, Lightnining looked different in the trailer than she does in the game (her hair is darker, and her eyelashes as well), looks more human like in this video.

  • I love this game, the characters and the story are so deep, I love it all! ^^

  • @Colouryoung97 Yeh man this storyline was beautiful

  • why does everyone hate this game? ffx was linear as well

  • I dont get it... Why the fuck does FF13 have to followup with wit the other games? Theres over 13 fucking titles and those who complain says its not like the originals, wtf do you expect things change! Who wants to play the same mechanics over n over? GET OVER IT becuase the game was outstanding. If you reallu have a problem with it simply stay on that original stuff....

  • @ReaperWolf68 I totally agree. God forbid the developers do something different.

    It's not that the game was bad, it was just overly hyped. That's just my opinion, of course.

    People need to be more open-minded and enjoy a game for what it is.

  • @SilentRanger412 Grazie, I mean the original stuff is good IT REALLY IS lol but this game had highlights too like the beautiful areas, enticing soundtracks and in deph storyline... shit it was like a movie lol. So much emotion and struggle damn

  • Pssh, to me the game was better than the trailer. There were so many intense scenes. The voice acting was great. The characters all develope well. The story was actually interesting and not that confusing for a change.

    I guess the main complaints are the fighting system and it being "linear". But "linear" doesn't make the game SUCK since it's not a big deal. And the fighting system I'll say is a hit-and-miss because to me it's all the same basic thing anyways even if not EXACTLY the same. =P

  • @Axxidous 1-sigh, no anyone who has a wide range of literary knowledge will know the pacing just kills any proper development [worsened by the engine], plus if you thought Final Fantasy was confusing, you just prove my point about the average FF Fan

    2-FF7,8,9=Variance of tactic based off location FF12=Programmable character AI [Best idea done in an FF] FF13=Press X, recieve Bacon, with a small bit of either going defensive of offensive, until Chapter 12.8, it's a glorified Yggdra Union Battle

  • @FallenWhiteSaber Please. Most of the other Final Fantasy games don't have very interesting stories. It's the gameplay, character designs and abilities that attract people. The story itself is really quiet, slow and very complex. (as in it has too many unexplained detailed issues, not like most average stories). Even Advent Children had this problem. lol

    The pacing kills it if it's bad. "linear" isn't necessarily bad pacing.

    And those things you mentioned don't seem all that special. lol

  • @Axxidous Gameplay is tat, the whole second paragraphs point. The plot is hidden and deep to allow character development to shine through, whilst giving a subtle undertone of a great story. Loose ends actually gives the fanon a bit of fun by allowing various interpretations. And well you couldn't even make good stairs with a pacing graph. Chp0=Best it gets 1-6=Slow and Easy 7-11=Bit darker and Easy to get 12=Fast-ish paced but a framing chapter. Endgame=Good, but dear god so much getout clauses.

  • @FallenWhiteSaber If you find it uninteresting, it's just over your head.

  • @FallenWhiteSaber What I meant was there is nothing special about the story happening, even in Advent Children, which is a movie.

    The way you describe it, it doesn't sound that linear at all. Then again when we said linear we weren't even talking about that. lol

  • if the game system is like this, must be cool...

  • @syaoranlove But we get tact, least it's inspired me to make the slickest RPG Battle Engine ever, for all time

  • Game did not live up to this teaser at all.

  • Did anyone else just watch Suckerpunch, and think that it ripped off this scene in the game?

  • I wonder if they'll implement this in the sequel...

  • @AsterBarnivere No, no they will not, infact it looks more Yggdra esque

  • Man. I remember how potentially interesting this made Lightning look.

    What a colossal waste.

  • @GreenGearMood Couldn't agree more. Every single character in this game was fucking terrible.

  • 0:40 Gee even back then it was linear.

  • i'm on the second play through for this game.

  • There is a possible for this game to have a sequel as its own sereis! Thumbs up for Final Fantasy XIII-2!

  • @MasterNinja1250

    well your wish has been granted

    ff XIII-2 is comming

  • @MasterNinja1250 But no CGI cutscenes -.-

  • @MasterNinja1250 the directors have heard your prayers.

  • I do wonder if Square was planning to use this battle system when they first start making the game but later found out it didn't work out. Other then that I don't know why they'll release such trailers.

  • @Onlymaybe7 The camera and flashy animations, yes too much, the basis, Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasy

  • Anybody know the name of the song in this trailer?

  • @TheDisease13 Just type in on youtube "Final Fantasy XIII Battle Theme" you'll find it.

  • This is the best trailer, I think. I like how you see none of the other characters, it makes Lightning's epicness shine through :3 My boyfriend first introduced me to FF two summers ago, and this was the first FF that I anticipated to come out. Seeing this trailer was just awesome :D.

    I don't mind what anyone else's opinion is. This game is EPIC. My favourite FF by far.

  • @princesspixiechloe I wonder what your opinion would've been if you actually played the games that made FF epic. Square haven't done anything right since Enix's merge.

  • @Minatominase Lol I've played 7,8,9,10,12, all before playing 13. I can see why you say they haven't done anything right since Enix merged with Square, because they have produced very different games.

    I was dissapointed that 13 didn't stay very faithful to some FF traditions, but FF13 is the one that I can relate to most in terms of character and story, and I found myself very invloved in this game.

    I thought that the music was outstanding, it was one of my favourite elements to the game.

  • I rather the version we have now :3

  • WOW 2006?! took them so long to make one game T>T

  • @Rienei just agree its a good game and we'll call it a day.

  • The battle in this trailer was a complete Cock tease.

  • @xOblivionAbyssx Yea exactly. The one they gave us was complete crap compared to this. I wish they gave us this FFXIII.

  • @brendude95

    Well said my friend. That was what, three seconds of a battle and what would've been cutscene? Why do so many people hate on XIII's battle system? What I love about Final Fantasy is that everything about it constantly changes. People should stop bitching and asking for the old ones back because it's not gonna happen, and I personally wouldn't want it to.

  • The graphics on this game is just epic. There is no other explination. I don't mind the battle system, but it would be really cool if it was just like the video displayed.

  • screw that i want the battle system in this game they give me some piece of crap paradigm shift the battle system is lame u saying a real gamer wants well balanced challenging yet easy to use battle system we ended up with damn near alot of gamers real gamers don't like the battle system not to be mean

  • People complaining about the Battle System being changed are idiots. You don't know anything about the battle system or how it played, you just like the flashy jumping around and you were stupied enough to think that you could actually control that. A real gamer doesn't want that, a real gamer wants the well balanced, challenging yet easy to use battle system we ended up with.

  • To bad you can't run around in battle... :(... THAT would be awesome......

  • Wow. This just Gayed the whole Final Fantasy series

  • lightning is hot!!!

  • From the very start I hated the look of this battle system. It looked too overcomplicated and messy. I love what they did with it and it's one of, if not the first Final Fantasy game where I can battle for hours and hours and not get tired of it.

  • im like so pissed the battle system was amazing this part sold me the game,and they take it out wtf,i loved ffxiii but i wished they really kept the system,maybe if they make a ffxiii-2 they can use this battle system

  • I have the video in 1080p, it's better

  • @YunFang1130 Army of One :D

  • they had all this mapped out in 2006 but it took them four years to make it? the fuck

  • @loljakebored07

    I still wonder if it is literally the graphics that make games so expensive and take so long. Engines are obviously complex, voice work and design must take a while. But still I wonder.

  • @Usul573 well, ff13 was ready in japan in early 2009 it took them a over a year to get it translated into english. Also games like that considering it wad the first next gen final fantasy they had to make an entire new engine from scratch. Most games just use an already existing engine and they just make tweaks to it

  • god why couldn't they just stick to THIS GAMEPLAY instead of the final build version.....dissapointing

  • @FullmetalX4 If they had focused more on a "Grandia" type battle scheme, this could of easily had been done.

  • @FullmetalX4

    Because they had to make it available for 360. Screwed over the amount of freedom in the game.

  • @FullmetalX4 maybe they had to reconstructed it when they decided to make a 360 version

  • dude the gameplay was so much better in the pre alpha build

  • Lightning and Vanile ftw

  • from the map in the corner of the screen during the battle it looked like it had you fighting on the same screen you walk around in like in ff12

  • ahhhh i love this game.....the graphics are insane and in my and my friend minas oppinion the graphics are better than life.and i absolutly love the music.when we bought the game we were all like...holly crap. xDDD my favorite characters are Lightning and of course.....THE CHOCOBOS!!!!!!!

  • this game makes me want a ps3......

  • Might of just titled it 'Lightning being a badass'. :D

  • They remade the battle system at the last second taking out the timestop move because of 2 easy gameplay and then added other moves to replaces deleted attacks

  • Some Clips are not in the Game -_-"

  • If by higher quality you mean bust my eardrums then im right there with ya.

  • I'm surprised Eden (the area Lightning was fighting in) was completed this early.

  • i wish it's a movie.. instead of a game.. =/ ehh.. Lightning should have at least.. a leading man before dieing.. *_*" haha >XP

  • @kuniyuka You are sooo unrational. Or ignorant?

  • @akito989 if it's bad to wish something like that.. I'm sorry then..

  • @kuniyuka No, you just gave a spoiler.

  • @akito989 i did not.. -.-' if you "re-read" my sentence... i said i "wish" that means.. i "dont" know if she "do" or she "dont" have one.. it hurts when someone says your being like this and like that.. specially when your not close.. if I gave a spoiler, I am "completely innocent" about that.. you're the one who "told" them that it is a spoiler.. soo meaning.. I'm not the one who give.. it's "you" oh gosh.. -.-'

  • @kuniyuka You said she would blah and a leading man blah blah her. Aren't you the one who said it?

  • @kuniyuka Thanks for spoiling me, appreciate it.

  • I've Finally been able to play this game after years of watching this clip. the scene that appears at 0:42 isnt anywhere in the game is it?

  • the game played nothing like this and therefore i did not buy this game. soundtrack is great though

  • maybe see this amazing battle system in FF13versus

    or XXDXD final fantasy XV I hope Really someday see This .ñ_ñ

  • Lol @ Lightning in the Sunleth Waterscape. Never happened in the game.

  • game blows ass waste of time

  • THE GAME SUCKS

    TO MUCH ANARCHISTIC ASSCHOLEES

    I PREFER THE EMPIRE :p

  • Games change A LOT during production, for all we know this was how it was GOING to be.

  • does anyone else find it odd by the fact that if you think about it... we basically waited 4 years for this game ( 4 years mainly for the US and Europe)

  • Good, the battle in the trailer is way too exaggerating IMO.

  • Too bad that there is no gameplay the way it showed on this trailer... ~_~.....

  • *sigh* the imagination is always stronger than the actual thing. i really expected a revolution, not an update.

  • when i look at this. i can't help but think of what could have been..........

  • Absolutely. The trailer made us all like... OH MY FREAKIN F*CKIN GOD !! ... now that it's out, it's like... WHAT FREAKIN F*CKIN GAME WAS SHOWN IN THE TRAILER? IT'S NOT THE GAME I BOUGHT!

  • @JossStonedems

    Mmmm, that first scene in the train is almost exactly as it was. She fights tons of those soldiers and that creature as shown, she's never in the forest but you go there, and you fight that robot, but it does look a little different.

  • @JossStonedems Yea, I must admit, it wasnt as great. It was just to simple and fast. Ugh, just annoying how so much potential can be lost :/

  • Is there any battle in the game as amazing as 0:23-0:31?

  • @owhsht310 - No. The battle system is nowhere near as cinematic and vibrant as what this trailer shows which is a pity.

  • @diablopanqueque

    Because they changed it due to whiners wanting a normal turned based system after XII.

  • @diablopanqueque Well think about it, the FF series has been known for it's gameplay which involved strategies to be implemented as you get deeper into a battle.

    If they were to use this style of gameplay like they originally showed, there wouldn't need to be any kind of strategy needed but mindlessly stringing combos.

    I don't have any problems with how this one might've worked, but they have to keep true to the game as a series.

  • @13lace Errr, 1-I point you to the Tales of series...

    2-This engine could have alot more potential by using group swarms and party member switching forcing you to act fast, but still act smart, but then it will be too hard, and the feeble average FF fan will whine, whilst proper fans, such as the Dissidia 100%ers and those with a wider gaming berth will just cum with joy. I'm in the 3rd group by the way.

  • @FallenWhiteSaber You do realise replying to a year old commment after XIII-2 has been announced and that everyone has already accepted the game style by now. The 'Tales of' series has always had an active battle system, and strategy was always needed to be able to play through the game properly.

    'Proper' fans as you call them wanted the traditional system that was set in the older games to FFX, while some wanted it this way. The trailer they showed wouldn't work for a Tales of game.

  • @diablopanqueque - True, although, Lightning still has that finess when she attacks.

  • @diablopanqueque

    yeaa

    i waited all this damn time for a dumb down version of this trailer!!

    stil a nice game tho, albeit i wulda loved that style of batles.

    can yu even manipulate time n space in xiii

  • @diablopanqueque yeah i think they dummbed it down cause they though it was too hard maybe? curse them!!! let the fools fail and suffer i want this awesome battle system!!!

  • @diablopanqueque

    I actually felt quite cheated, considering this was back in 2006, we waited years and got a battle system not half as impressive as what they showed.

  • Comment removed

  • @owhsht310 However Lightnings "Army of One" does come (somewhat) close imo

  • @owhsht310

    not as awesome as that scene, but the game features the most fluid battle system every created for a jrpg. Your character is not static but is always attacking or maneuvering through the enemies.

  • what is the theme heard in the background at 0:30 ?

  • same song

  • @flyboymitsu it's part of the song still, and it's called "Blinded by Light"

  • @flyboymitsu

    That's the battle theme/lightning's theme.

    You will hear that, A LOT if you play

  • 0:23 Does anybody know where in the game that big bridge battle is. It looks like Palumpolum but i'm past there. I hope its in the game.

  • I dont think so. If you look at the battle huds and such you can tell that this is an older version or aspect of gameplay idea they mostly likely had for the battle system in early development. Notice how many eneimes there are on the field at once and even moves that lightning never uses in game today. Plus the hud setup is quite different from the modern one. Im just as disappointed as you though, becuase i love this trailer, I was hopping they would have this part too with all the enemies :(

  • Wow, I remember first seeing this trailer wayy back in the day.

    I'd say it was definitely worth the wait.

  • WOOT! just finished FFXIII! Gotta say ppl it was awesome... a must play i would say!

    Also guys you can download the game directly here:

    downloadffxiii@tk ( just replace @ with a . )

  • WOW!!! =D It's awesom!!

    Lightning's weapon reminds me squall's gunblade....

  • whats the main character (the girl with pinkish hair) called?

    GREAT VID! x

  • its called lightning and the game is already out

  • I WANT, I WANT!!

  • All of this waiting has led up to this point... 6 more hours over here until March 9th ^^

  • Actually FF13 will be on PS3

  • Ther is also for xbox 360°...I heard it on tv....better for me because I have an xbox... =D

  • Could smb say if this game is worth getting it??? pls^^

  • trust me on this, its worth it, i already played the jap version and all i got to say, its beautiful, its lives up to the perfection as of final fantasy 6

  • It would make sense if Lightning was Cloud's daughter, Cloud's do make lightning!

  • hahaha old cloud

  • lol yea. this looks nothing what the female version of cloud would look likr

  • I hope he made Lightning with Tifa. If you know what I mean...

  • @SpazBunnyStudios

    God I hope so, that'd be awesome!

  • WITH Tifa?

  • my fav part is where lightning casts that timestop spell and she does a cool flip and follows with a firaga spell, too bad i heard the timestop got taken out of the game :(

  • sighhh... finally one thing the ps3 is good for.

  • one? Buddy theres been many more things on the Ps3 then the 360. Plz cry over some other place.

  • like what?! i don't care for rpgs ftr

  • @welcomegohome are you Crazy? there is already 1 reason to own a ps3 wich is Metal gear solid 4, now there are 2 reasons : )

  • yeah i know i totally forgot that one. i SAID that comment the other day talking about this and someone reminded me about that.

  • @welcomegohome

    Actually, theres 3, MGS4, FF13, and the god like Uncharted 2.

  • @VideoGameExplorers YES! started it 3 days ago after completing uncharted 1. soo good damn.

    these 3 games are the rulers of the Playstation 3. maybe if GoW3 lives up to its name we will have 4 kings

  • @Garudanime Actually, GoW3 may not be the fourth king, the demo had crappy platforming, graphics about as good as Uncharted 1, and disgusting, mindless gore.

  • @VideoGameExplorers

    The GoW3 demo is from June 2009... gee, talk about not reading what the demo clearly says when you start it up.

  • @Garudanime There are way more than 2 reasons :D

  • I don't understand the gameplay so much, yet I say "Lightning for the win!"

  • play seriuolsy has no lyf lol

  • your name is play aka gay :)

  • FF13楽しみに待っている

  • This looks pretty sick. Would buy it if I had a PS3.

  • you can play ff13 also with a xbox 360 :/

  • can i ask. is this a sequel or a prequel to any of the other games as this is my second final fantasy game apart from 10. and if it is a sequel i need to get up to scratch on the story. but if it is just on its own then GREAT. thanks for your help. :)

  • not a sequel .. its an original story

  • ...umm..

    thats nice..hope you have fun with that..?

  • sweetness. <D

  • If this game is as bad as 12 and it looks it, i think it'll be my last.

  • Final Fantasy 12 got a 9.5/10 rating, millions of people played it. Where or just how was it bad?

  • Too much customization that pushes you to make all the characters the same, level grinding is a pain, and you still can't skip cutscenes. Futhermore, what's the point in watching them if they rarely affect you, or affect you little?

  • I was a good game but it was a terrible final fantasy.

    The story was poor. Nice try at something deeper but frankly i was on Vaynes side.

    The fighting was dull and easy. Mostly dull there were a few challenges,

    It was full uninspired things like, oh i dunno the elves sorry 'Viera.'

    The characters were 2D, totally under developed.

    Vaan felt like Tidus 2.

    small gripe for me so many races, main party is all human and a token sex bunny.

    well I could say more but I have 22 characters left.

  • woah... this game looks awesome...

  • well said play8000 ff7 is and always will be number 1

  • It appears to be more "fluid" than the one we are being shown now.

    I wonder if it has really been downgraded due to perhaps hardware constraints? or maybe this is my perception of it.

  • play8000 is just jealous cuz it's not a dude as the main character.

  • I WANT

  • my only reason to get a ps3.

  • this son is awesone check this 0:22 looks this liked

  • When did i ever say best i just said squareenix makes the best and btw theres no relation between this and 7 in game play story or anything like that therefore it cant be a ripoff in other words you are void

  • theres no shit to it Squarenix makes the best RPGs this game'll be amazing your just a moron who likes to rain on peoples peraids tch grow up no one cares what you have to say

  • Can u simply believe that square enix has been inventing brilient new idea's for every FF game and has been successfull all these years.And final fantasy 14 is on it's way, not to mention the compleation of 13 and kingdom hearts.When are they going to stop?! Not that I want them to but when are they going to stop? At 20?!
