    Yeah, a big fan of both of those.

    Is the new Zidane skin from the play at the beginning of IX?

    And both Kain and Bartz's new skins are great. They look like up-rezzed versions of their 16-bit costumes. Similar to the new red-haired Warrior of Light.

    The new Zidane skin looks to be from the opening during the play in Alexandria Castle.

    What's this about Terra and Tidus being villains? I didn't see that in the trailer.

    I think it's the new costume for Terra. Looks like what she wore when she was being forced to fight for the Empire.

    And I'm not sure why someone might think Tidus' new costume looks evil. Maybe the black and red?

    It's more that they're both standing on Garland's side in the standoff shots at the end of the trailer, and I'm pretty sure they mentioned Jecht is supposed to be a good guy this time around.

    - What it says on the tin. Lightning returns, is wearing armour.
    Urgh. You know, I'm not above enjoying fanservice, but there's something about Lightning's stripper-knight outfit that just offends me. Maybe it's because I've been playing Fire Emblem a lot lately, because in those games the women wear sensible armour instead of this bare-assed abomination.

    Well... at least her chest's covered. I guess that's something.

    Finally home from work.

    Type-0/Agito is now equal shares spots with Versus XIII and Radiant Historia as my most wanted games. Hell yes to taking the FF8 style and making it even more military-ish and gritty. I hope they don't hold punches in the storytelling.

    Also... I can't wait for that Dragoon fight in Versus.

    Yeah, Lightning's armor is just awful. One of the things I really liked about 13 was the world they created, and that world has no place for knight armor with fucking feathers hanging off of it. Do not try to put more one-winged angel crap in there. It doesn't belong.

    No, the real problem is -- it needs more belts. MORE BELTS!

    I would consider getting a PSP if Sony would actually discount the damn thing ever. But as it stands, there are only a couple games I want for it and I'll be damned if I'm going to pay full price for only a couple games (and to be honest, other than maybe Kingdom Hearts I really don't even mind that much not playing the others).

    How do you mean, when there's actually going to be a KH3?

    KH0 = BbS
    KH1
    KH1.5 = CoM
    KH1.66 = Days
    KH2
    KH2.33 = Re:Coded
    KH2.5= DDD
    KH3

    That's about right, numbering wise, I think?

    Mock up FF13-2 box art from SE Europe... Link. It's all systems go.

    I hope we do get this.

    All other Final Fantasies have just had the logo, but XIII had to go and have Lightning on the front.

    You can blame Eidos for that, instead of sticking with tradition they decided to go with the tacky crap covers the US releases usually get.

    I actually just watched the Type-0 trailer. I'm really surprised how dark/violent it is.

    But again, why is a setting like this wasted on a PSP title? I've said it before, but they need to give FF a single identity. Right now it's all over the damn place.

    Maybe they're planning to make Type-0 its own series, eventually branching it off to consoles.

    All the characters in FF13-2 have no pants. All of them.

    Alright, maybe just Lightning. I don't know why it bugs me so much. I don't remember the characters being under-dressed much at all in FF13. And now Lightning has no pants.

    Thing is, they made it pretty clear that they all got their magic and abilities from becoming l'Cie. Doing a prequel would just make the gameplay more dull, in that sense.

    I honestly feel they need to not make the story a priority, and beef up the battle system to be as over-the-top and entertaining as possible.

    Basically, and I know many of you will groan over it, make it like FFX-2. If insane plot points results in a more exciting game, than so much the better.

    What about a prequel would make the game so much better than a sequel? Honestly was the backstory to FFXIII even that interesting?

    Edit: And yeah, story hasn't really been one of Final Fantasy's strong points for quite awhile now. I'd rather have them focus on just making an awesome game and if the story is not fantastic, at least the game is still fun.

    Edit 2: Final Fantasy 6 did have an awesome story though. It is an opera with an opera in it. :D
