You got no idea how excited I am. News on FF is all flooding over the websites. New title announced, some spinoff, new gameplay footage and trailer, of course, release date.
This was the previous one anyway. Back in 2010.
Starting 18 Jan, originally called Final Fantasy Agito XIII will now being named as Final Fantasy Type-0. In fact, Type-1, Type-2 and Type-3 were registered so means it comes in a series and it also means, the next few years there will be at least ONE FF game release! Type-0 getting it’s release this summer! X)
type-0
Wait, there’s still more! Final Fantasy XIII getting a sequel due to massive demands from the fans all over the world! What’s the best thing? It will be released this winter 2011!! I assume it will be release on the 17 December cuz it was the date that FFXIII were being released. Still, the US version all comes on the 2012. =.=

The debut teaser shown at the conference on 18 Jan!
This one something I rather more excited and looking forward to – Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Noctis_and_Stella
Stella and Noctis, the main characters.
I dont really how to describe bout this one but all I can say is, THIS IS FREAKING REAL FANTASY EVER MADE!
At Square Enix's conference, a long section of gameplay footage was shown in a new trailer. It depicted Noctis walking, right after the scene with Stella, and runing after several explosions happen. Noctis is shown fighting against several enemies, which include soldiers, a Behemoth, and various monsters. The damage dealt by the attacks is shown on screen. As shown in the trailer, Noctis can have characters that assist him during battles. Several other mechanics, apart from hack and slash have been shown: Shooting mechanics. It's unknown how they will work in the game, or which characters will be able to shoot. Also, the player seems to be able to control mechanic structures, such as tanks or robots. The footage also depicted a menu titled "EX Arts," but its function remains unknown.
Players will find a big world map with vast fields where the they will be able to explore as far as the eye can reach except the mountains. Nomura says that the game is not open but is more like the 2D Final Fantasy games in HD and in 3rd person view. The player will be able to drive a car and fly airships just like in older Final Fantasy titles too.
Nomura also says that the day and night cycles and cloud formations are done by physical calculations. It was decided to be made this way to have a smooth change between the cycles and to have a much more dynamic lighting system, which reflects the mood of a certain region/place.
The game will also be seamless and the only loading the player will experience is between large areas. The loading happens while watching an event scene that way it is possible to give players a more immersive experience.
Monsters wander throughout the field and sometimes hostile ones will suddenly appear to ambush the player.
The battle system of Final Fantasy Versus XIII is to draw the nostalgic feeling from old Final Fantasy titles and blend it with a whole new concept. The action and pace will be similar to what is found in Kingdom Hearts but united with new mechanics. Both Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts styles will be mixed in this game. Battles will also be seamless and transition will have no load times.
Final Fantasy Versus XIII (2)
Battles will take place in real-time environments using all regions of the field, from up high buildings to down low streets. Nomura said that the power of the PS3 will feature battles that take place in areas with great differences in height, just like in the trailer, and will have to fight using the full environment. This means fighting what's both in front of the player and above and below (vertical battles).
One of the trailers show Noctis selecting from a number of different weapons to defeat the enemy soldiers in front of him. The various weapons in the game will have different methods of attack, and some will even be usable as shields to go along with Noctis's crystal power. Weapons will have some sort of customization element as well. The trailer also showed Noctis warping around killing enemies. Nomura explained that players won't be able to warp freely to every spot but it will be possible to warp to the location where the player has placed their sword. The player can throw their sword and warp to that location as well. This is one area that is being tested on so it's a matter of time to see if this all makes it into the final product.
Nomura also stated that his eyes and hair change with his emotions as well as different actions in battle. Also, there will be a sub window that copies Noctis' expression that will be shown at the bottom of the screen, similar to Kingdom Hearts, but with more detail.
Summon beasts are in the game and will have to be defeated to be used and Nomura also said that the game will have six axis support but gave no specifics about it.
-taken from finalfantasy.wikia.com-
Its a action oriented, and like a more realistic version of Kingdom Hearts with some elements of a third-person shooter similar to Dirge of Cerberus Final Fantasy VII.
There’s gameplay footage like I mentioned at the start but its was quickly taken down by S.E due to copyright so view them while it last! HAHAHA!
BUT… They will be putting them up on the respective website on 20th (TOMORROW!) and 27th.
All videos were mirrored by the way. Use a mirror at the side if u want see properly! AHAHAHAHA!
And last but not least! Another Final Fantasy and I had already mentioned at the starting of my post.
Dissidia Duodecim Prologus Final Fantasy!
image120
Featured at Square-Enix's press event, which focused mainly on Fabula Nova Crystallis, but held some information for other titles as well.The demo is available on 18th Jan, entitled Dissidia 012 Prologus. A premium demo, bigger than a normal demo, and it costs 300 yen. They also said that if you buy Prologus, you'll have access to Aerith as a support character in the full game later.
RIght now, Im actually middle of playing it still! The Arcade mode comes with 5 rounds and 30 rounds with random character or rather fixed opponent with of course assist character of their choice! The main highlight in this demo was actually a small scenario that will be not included in the final product. Also by finishing this demo, you get your prize like stated above! X)
I kinda disappointed as well cuz I thought there will be all the new characters to pick especially Laguna and Tifa, but NO, only Lightning and Kain Highwind. Oh well, better than nothing and I gonna stick to this till it release on 3rd March which is 2 more months ahead!

The entire current roster of newcomers in Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy are listed below, with the ones revealed right now bolded:
Kain Highwind (Final Fantasy IV)
Gilgamesh (Final Fantasy V)

Tifa Lockhart (Final Fantasy VII)
Laguna Loire (Final Fantasy VIII)
Yuna (Final Fantasy X)
Prishe (Final Fantasy XI)
Vaan (Final Fantasy XII)
Lightning (Final Fantasy XIII)

So 8 of them were revealed, left 2 more! I find it rather funny cuz Aerith will be getting her role as SUPPORT CHARACTER in the full game. You get what I mean?
Make a guess on the last 2 while Im off continuing my fight!
p/s: By the way, I get to deal with Tifa in Round 24 this evening!!! Smoking HOT! <3
