question

[SVEN]

Are there any websites like this from back when FFX was in development. Not a forum, but just a place where I can read all the old news as people waited for the game to come out and see early screenshots and stuff.
And if you know one but it doesn't exist anymore, could you please tell me anyway?
Thanks.

Weird question. >>

And I have no idea. Um, check it on IGN and look at all the old articles?

[SVEN]

Thanks, but if anyone remembers a site or something, please post the url or something close to it.

Yes, it's not working too well.

that was ages ago, did they make this kind of site back in days? I have no idea, you mind me asking you why, are you looking for it?

I was looking around at screenshots on the site and thinking about what sorts of things might be in FFXIII and the others, and I remembered doing the same for FFXII (not quite as much). FFX was my first Final Fantasy game and it had already been out for a while when I got it. I'm just interested to see what people who already knew about the series and who were looking forward to FFX saw when they were searching for the latest news on the game. Also, last night on youtube I saw the first FFX video (the one where Tidus has black hair and he's running around through the calm lands) and it sparked my interest.
I'm not even going to attempt to find this sort of stuff for FFVII - THAT was ages ago.

I'm starting to think everyone just went to IGN for their news back then...

tidus with black hair, lol, that has to really early stage of development.
now I get your point, but I truly deubt if the are any fan sites like this apart from like IGN and GAMESPOT maybe.

I believe it was shown alongside a preview for FFIX in 2000.
Does anyone else know, because now I'm watching this over and over again and I'm dying to find an old fansite.

Considering how long ago it was you'll be hard pressed to find one that's still in existence and/or hasn't wiped out its archives. Good luck though.

If I know the URL, though, I might still be able to find it. There's this thing I found that's like an internet archive. I don't know exactly how it works, but I think it takes a "snapshot" of the web at certain times, allowing people to look at sites that no longer exist. I haven't found a way to browse through the archive and the search-thing is really confusing. But if you know the URL, you can type it in and select a time period (if you want) and you may be able to find it.

That's why if anyone knows the URL of a site, even if it doesn't exist anymore, I would really like to know it.

If you find the site there, there is usually an option on the left called the Wayback Machine that let's you see the site in the past.

wow, they changed more then just Tidus's hair colour, this game is so diffrent from what they released

[Moklin]

In the trailer you can change the camera view, play online and tidus´s walking look better that the original.lol
I cant get the logotyp. In the original it was Yuna summoning but i cant see what this logotyp means.
Anyway.....maybe ffxiii will be diferent from the trailler we saw too....

That black hair didn't look good on him:awesome:

----And then his hair got sunbleached. :awesome:

[dxgirly]

I think the blonde fit better with the water theme. Beach-bunny :P

[SVEN]

I wish the graphics were actually like that - and the camera. I read somewhere that originally the monsters were going to be more FFXII style, roaming on the map rather than as random encounters.
Anyway, that wayback machine is what I use, but it'll be much easier if I have the url of a site.
