Final Fantasy XIII trailer gets a retro SNES makeover for Lightning Returns

also is it me or is that video full of artifacts? it's really hard to read the text when half the time you can't see it.

anyone played the remake of FF IV Complete collection on the PSP/Vita ? , picked it up in the sale, glad i did, sprites in high res look great.

i think this story recap shows just how convoluted the story is, when you spend half the time wondering WTF is going on the video :P

I thought FF13 was good. Decent story, not the best.. but was good enough. The problem came in when they decided to milk 13 with 13-2 and now 13-3. I am tired of hearing about this character lol. Can't wait for the new FFXV however.

It's so simple! Wait, no it's not, it's needlessly complex...

So what they are saying is "you would be better playing FFVI than another Lighting sequel".

Done and done.

Jesus.... Give us this game instead of Lighting Returns!! I really hope SquareEnix aren't just teasing us with this.... I'd kill to play FF13 in this way. Hopefully this is a sign of Square realising what they need to do!

Nice to see Square left out the glaring plotholes and story flaws in this recap. Mainly about how the death of Orphan directly causes the fall of Cocoon, which the heroes know but just decide to kill him anyway for no real reason... God FF13 was a shit game.

That video is Square Enix practically admitting how much later Final Fantasies sucked.

Nice! Though it feels strange the music starts of more 8-bit than 16-bit.

That was wonderfully retro, fairly shows how far JRPG's have come in regards of visuals

When Barthandelus casts Banish, I was like "Jesus that's a lot of white screen" then i realized it froze at 2:47 and never moved on.

I have so many questions, my brain is melting. But most importantly, why are these little people merging together?

I think 13-3 may actually turn out to be half decent, with obvious exceptions made for it's sure-to-be bad/incomprehensible storyline and undoubtedly awful conclusion. I base this on the combat, anyway, which might be good once you replace your shit skills with good ones (Who the **** uses Blitz when you only have one character? Blitz is a shit move without other party members.)

looks better then Lightning Returns

this graphics gave me diarrhea

I'd be tempted to play FF if it were still in 16 bit.

16 bit and turn based. Man if FF 13 was like that I would have bought 2 copies.

Evidently this video player doesn't work today so I can't comment as to whether the video makes any sense. Oh wait here we go. I like how they used the stereotypical Squaresoft "Floating weird ass mechanical thing" template that was literally used in Chrono Trigger for like EVERY boss in the game, rofl, for the Fal'cie at the beginning. This video cut out huge parts of the story like how Fang even showed up with Snow but it will do if you didn't punish yourself by actually playing both games so far.

Why did SquareEnix even bother with this 16-bit "what if?" This demonstrates SquareEnix has no direction for the FF series.
