that caius love story was funneh

that Caius part was funneh

Anybody else catch Ultros? Awesome.

wow did i just predict the future ? lol a few weeks ago i said 'imagine they made the next final fantasy sequal' exclusively for snes and here we have a trailer lol

I don't see why the comments here are so negative. I think it's a neat, clever little trailer.

Square Enix: We just wanted to show you how good and engaging our games used to be, before we get back to the drivel we feed you now.

All this makes me want to do is go play Final Fantasy III.

Back when Squaresoft was a real company that made games.

I wonder if Square realized the irony that the whole game would have been better if it was made like this, instead of wasting millions on shiny graphics yet soulless gameplay.

Where is this supposed Squenix announcement today? Do we have to wait for bullshit west coast time?

That was cool, except it doesn't really recap what happened very well since it jumps ahead through so much, and has dialogue to even heighten that fact; it's not necessarily a problem, but just saying. Hm, I still have to beat XIII-2, but I probably won't... I don't know. My brother will be getting the third one though.

I couldn't help to find this VERY cute and ridiculous nostalgic, although, for everybody who have played FF XIII and FF XIII-2, we know that the story dragged a lot and to get this comprehension of it was complicated.

Liked to see "old Ultros" appearing briefly : D

If anyone's confused by the recap, know that the stories are the same way in the games.

is it weird that I understood the story from that video more than from the game when I played it?

They destroyed it after XII...

FF13 was just missing high-fives in combat like FF15 is going to have, don't worry guys FF15 is going to be amazing.

Not sure why i would play a 16bit version of FF13 games..., I rather go play the classics.

This was awesome and beautiful. So much FFVI nostalgia.

Oh and I also noticed Chrono Trigger's "electricity" effect in there! Good stuff

a bit ironic isn't it(don't know if this is the right word)

The 3 16bit classics this is based on are the best ff games while 13,13-2 and 13-3 are the worst.

Just like the games on which this is based, I sadly lost interest about a minute in ...

GAHHHHHH.... PEOPLE. I will admit that while there are flaws with final fantasy XIII and XIII-2, making a 16-bit remake would be sweet but it is NOT A REAL solution.

As someone who didn't really grow up with FF (all about N64 life), I didn't play the gems FF had until I was in my later teens, eventually stumbling upon XIII. A 16-bit remake could make XIII's gameplay more enjoyable but in my opinion it may do nothing to XIII-2, where the actual gameplay was much more refined, assuming a 16-bit game will most likely follow a turn-based system. I don't blame Square Enix for trying something new since attempts at progression are natural. While some moves such as the convoluted storyline weren't properly executed, Square shouldn't have to make similar games just to fulfill people's nostalgia boners. If each game was similar today, I'd speculate that people would say, "FF is teh same thing ovr again lik COD LOLZ."

I'm not against 16-bit games-- I think they are a lot of fun. But for those who think anything past VI is trash: get over yourselves. For those who are skeptical about the newest installment, LRFF13 has a really fast, entertaining, and engaging gameplay from the demo I played last week. It almost seems like the transition from the gameplay of XIII, to the gameplay demonstrated in the trailers of XV. I encourage you to try it out. My hope is that the storyline in this trilogy ends with a nice coup de grace. /rant

square enix is trying too hard for better graphics, new innovative battle system, fanciful ideas but they don't get that all we want is the same old formula with nobuo uematsu music

why am I enjoying this recap a lot more than I enjoyed the original game?

wow, now those would have been games to buy instead of the junk trilogy we got stuck with....oh well, at least bravely default looks to be getting it right

My wishlist for FF15: Characters I don't immediately want to throw into the vacuum of space. Fun game play. A more open world. Something that does more than just look pretty....

Gimme 16 bit version GIMMMMEEEE NOWWWWW! to be fair with FFXIII the story was there the gameplay was dire with FFXIII-2 they built on the gameplay made it good the story was dire. This trilogy could been awesome if they went back to Final Fantasy roots with it.

I loved FF13...I don't understand why so many people hate it. I am sure even if square does everything fans want them to, people are still gonna complain
