Final Fantasy XIII anticipation thread. NO SPOILERS!!!!

[Ventus]

I have just pre-ordered the game! It looks really good and I can't wait to get my hands on it!
ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS!

I am looking forward to the battle system and the graphics of the game.

[Overdose]

I agree, although I have already spoiled it for myself. Nevertheless I still think its an amazing game. MMMmmm Lightning (Y)

Any clue what the superboss is for the game?

And as fun as this one looks, I'd rather play whichever XIII version has Noctus.

It's Versus. The PS3 exclusive one.
I still have little idea of how the battle system works (though I do need to research that still). Looks rather interesting and this will probably tempt me to finally buying a PS3 for myself (too bad they only sell those yucky slim ones now).

Oh, you mean the ones with significantly more memory space than the clunker PS3s like I own? The one with less memory, a bigger price tag, and enough weight to kill several small children and a medium-sized one with growth problems and a voice that cracks more than a broken violin?

Dammit, I hate better versions of things I spent my life savings on. [/raped]

EDIT: Forgot to be on-topic. My anticipation for this title is vast, though I still find myself confused on this "Versus" business. What's the difference between that and the regular game? And what's so special about it that it's only exclusive to one system?

What's the difference between that and the regular game?

My understanding is that the two games are based on the same universe, but have two completely different and unrelated storylines. I think Versus is supposed to be an action RPG, kind of like Kingdom Hearts, whereas the regular XIII is more of the typical FF rpg.

And to be on topic, I have little interest in either of these games. I don't have a ps3 yet, and no idea when I'll get around to getting one. And I haven't really heard much about the story, but the little bit I did hear didn't make me that excited. But hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised when I do get to play the game. At least it can't be as bad as X-2, can it?

I don't know. Their original description of Lightning basically being a female Cloud kinda lowered my interest in the game.

Yeah, I remember hearing that and groaning. But at the same time, I was a little relieved because a female Cloud would be less painful than an X-2 Yuna or Rikku clone.

I'm also sort of leery of the leveling system. I did not care for X's sphere grid very much, and XIII's is supposed to resemble it.

All I have to say is that Oden is a boss so yeah. Epic summons.
