TGS: New FFXIII and Versus XIII Trailers Detailed

[Final]

Well, a user called Autumn Thread attended the Live Premiere today, and posted some details about the new trailers.

FINAL FANTASY agito XIII

Sorry, I forgot about this.

Was a blend of the old in game footage with a new FMV with narration telling of the war in the world. It's all monotone and shows countries being bombed on the map.

Had a very 'nazi' feel to it. The names of the countries bombing the Japanese-like named countries are very European like. It shows the 'school' being attacked and a crystal is destroyed.

Skips to in-game footage we've seen before at JF and TGS07 of the Card-kun throwing his cards and summoning monsters (odin?).

Moves to FMV again and shows the students of the school posing on a stone surrounded by enemies, card-kun flicks through his cards, he selects a card and throws it out (looks awesome btw) and then the moment his card gets this magical effect, all the students draw arms. Trailer ends. "This is their duty" was said, if I recall correctly (don't hold me to that, wasn't paying attention)


FINAL FANTASY XIII


Started off with the familiar TGS07 footage of the dragon-like flying creature swooping down over a stream, camera moves up to Sera (formerly Nom-chan). Camera pans and shows the world in the distance.

Changes to the airship we've seen previously. This thing is huge and small airships that resemble fish (green beams the top and bottom that are shaped like the spine in fins). The mother airship sends out green circle markers in which the airships fly through, into a docking station and slowly move to the end of the dock which takes them below.

Camera changes to another airship, this is all new footage and a new location. out of the airship a man? with a pony tail walks out, seems to be some kind of general or a leader of some organisation. We see some soldiers that we've seen in the in-game screen shots released recently, they look a bit like the Helghast from Killzone but a little more organised and scary. They're carrying a casket towards the airship with the general, looks like a black cocoon but at the end is Sera. She has a very royal-esque outfit (I feel that she may be related to royalty or something, I'll elaborate below.) She's walking with them and looks kind of melancholy. At the foot of the unit carrying the casket is the woman with the large breasts, glasses and knee-length hair.

Changes scene to a new location we seen in pictures long ago. There's a large creature or statue in the midst of a green-ish underground location. The special soldiers are surrounding the creature and the city in the background is burning, smoke is coming out of the buildings. The soldiers fire pipes or some other thing into the creature and soon after there's a thousand odd 'pipes' impaled in this thing.

Change scene: We see a beach like location, airships and carriers fly overhead, the camera is in a birds eye position and one of the airships drops 2 objects. As they fall they explode into smaller creatures(?). Camera moves to ground level and there are the clone wars lookalike soldiers running out of the small army barracks like place they have there. 2 futuristic ground vehicles arrive and the camera once again shifts to old footage.

Shortly we hear Lightnings voice. It's not a cutscene but quite a few scenes flashing in out, we see Lightning walking through the ruins with Sera and then again at the frozen location. They're being assaulted by the special soldiers. We see some fancy combat and sword transformation from Lightning and she flips back to defend. We see Mr.33CM talk with lipsync here and the trailer ends.

Dialogue: (not 100%)

Lightning: 'Carry out the mission' is what you said. You want to abandon it? What about 'your' mission?
Mr. 33cm: That's not it! I'll protect Sera and carry out the mission. That's a promise.
Lightning: Show me you can 'protect'.


FINAL FANTASY versus XIII


yikes I'm getting tired!

Trailer opens with the car scene in the tunnel and radio talking about the end of a cold war. Seems a little bit extended, shows some road signs with names "En Victis" and "Nhilifium" or something like that.

Car exits a tunnel and we see airships looming over in the distance.

Shakespeare message appears and we cut to new in-game footage.

Camera shows a staircase, we see the princes feet climbing the staircase. Detailed shoes. I want some. Camera moves up and shows the prince in his glory, he looks a bit antisocial. He notices Stella looking at the painting of the Goddess and she notices he's around.

She asks him if he seen something earlier, she also seen it she states. She questions him if that is the 'light'. She approaches him quite quickly and he seems a little timid, he turns his back and moves to walk away muttering "It's better not to talk about that", she catches up and does the cute Japanese 'one foot hands behind back spin' motion and questions him if 'that' (dialogue below) is not indeed the words of the (scholars?) at a place called Tenebuira. He tells Stella it's probably the same 'here', also.

By the way, the animation and detail to expression is very impressive. I find that FFvXIII seems to have a little graphical edge over XIII right now. It's truly amazing, I want to see it once more.

After a little more chatter they Noct slumps down onto a chair and we see more of the room while they talk about this 'power' from 'light'. There's a aquarium in the centre of the room.

Noct excuses himself that he must be leaving soon and the two depart after Stella introduces herself and invites him to her 'city/country' 'Tenebuira'. Noct tells her he'll consider it and she leaves rather quickly.

Noct looks up and a voice asks him "Who... are you?"
He mutters back "That's my line" and shrugs it off, walking away.

The rest of the footage was old FMV stuff from TGS07 and Jump Festa.

Dialogue: (not 100% either)

様 is used after Noctis, I'm using lord because I don't know of a better way to translate it.
I'm also throwing in some shit here to make it sound normal. Direct translation is going to sound strange.


Stella: (Lord) Noctis can see the light also, right? I also can see it.
Some time ago, down stairs, ..that thing we saw, that was the 'light' wasn't it?

Stella: It's said in Tenebuira that when the Goddess Etro opens the gate connected between the deceased country light is seldomly seen, however, if seen the said person will be awarded some kind of 'power'

Noctis: That's the same deal here, it seems.

Stella: (Lord) Noctis was gifted with the said 'power'?

Noctis: It's rather better not to talk about those things. It's different from person to person but one way or another it will bring about trouble.

(Noct walks away a bit and slumps onto a chair)

Stella: That 'light', what do you think it really is?

Noctis: It's always 'there' am I not right?

Noctis: Hm..., (suggesting he doesn't know who she is right now)

Stella: I'm Stella.

Noctis: Ah, Stella.., I'll have to be leaving soon.

Stella: I'm sorry for holding you up, Lord Noctis.

Noctis: Just 'Noct' is fine.

Stella: I'll also be leaving. Today I feel that I also received that so called 'power'.
I was able to talk to you.

If it's good for you, next time please come to Tenebuira. I'll show you around.

Noct: That seems good.. I'll give it some thought.

(Stella leaves)

Noct raises his head towards a sound coming.

"Who... are you?"

Noct: That's my line.

[Little Miss Scarlett]

Wow! Thanks for the find, those trailers sound awesome! ^_^

After so long, they really shouldn't hold all these trailers back though, stupid 'private theatre' SE <_<

[Sundance Kid]

Yes thanks Final

I wonder what Sera/Sara/whatever is

[Kätharina]

Thanks, now posting it on the main site.

[pupucachi]

Thanks for the post. Very detailed! I want to see those trailers :'(

[Lulzparty]

Thanks for posting it.

[Sundance Kid]

You know we're most likely not going to see those trailer (XIII and Versus) for another kazillion months

[Shock]

Great to here this thanks a bunch.

[Moklin]

WOW! Very impressive.
Sera is Sarah ( pig tailed girl). Blank said that the girl who appears to be royality isnt sarah but a similar girl.

So many arships...i want to see how airships are in versus 13.
Is the agito traiiler the same that was leaked?

[Kätharina]

Is the agito traiiler the same that was leaked?

No it isn't, as far as I'm aware. The description doesn't sound the same as the leaked footage.

[Excalibur]

No gameplay for Versus? Thats just fucking great...

[Final]

^ Well, yeah. Does anyone know WHERE that was shown anyway??

[Moklin]

The only title from the compilation with real gameplay that was shown was agito. ( in leaked trailler)
They shown ff13 walking in dk13sigma event. dont know if they shown again in tgs2008.

[Kätharina]

Well they've shown FFXIII Gameplay and battle system since the beginning, just haven't shown updated footage, Versus nothing. And Agito's has been leaked, and looks really impressive, most likely a tweaked version of FFVII:CC's battle system.

[Final]

^ Yup, but they did show Noctis walking in a town or something like that, but no battle system shown ;) I think it was at this event

[Kätharina]

Yea, the only in-game footage was that of Noctis and Stella meeting. Shame about no show of the battle system yet, most likely because the team are still working on it. urg.

[Excalibur]

I just don't get why they're being so secretive about it when they already explained what the battle system would be like. Everybody already knows so there isn't really a secret to keep so why don't they just show it already?

[Final]

Yea, the only in-game footage was that of Noctis and Stella meeting. Shame about no show of the battle system yet, most likely because the team are still working on it. urg.

Perhaps, or maybe the just want it to be a surprise :rolleyes:

^Excalibur: I don't understand it either :( But it's proberly for the hype, so people keep the interest, even though it backfires some times ;)

[Kurai Warrior]

Perhaps, or maybe the just want it to be a surprise :rolleyes:

^Excalibur: I don't understand it either :( But it's proberly for the hype, so people keep the interest, even though it backfires some times ;)
Yeah well...I for one am losing hype fast.....
Sure the trailer impressions are nice, I just hope we got some screens of these trailers at least...I really want to see something visual
*facepalm* Stella does the little Japnese girl twist with the arms behind her back thing.....
why...hello there Aerith
She sounds....too cheery....=_=
Well actually considering how Noctis acts around people he doesn't know, it could be very comical for the first few times they meet each other.

[Excalibur]

Perhaps, or maybe the just want it to be a surprise :rolleyes:

^Excalibur: I don't understand it either :( But it's proberly for the hype, so people keep the interest, even though it backfires some times ;)
Lol lemme tell you I've been losing a lot more interest than gaining it. How much more can they hide from us? How much more do they NEED to hide from us?

[Final]

^ Well, if I knew that, I wouldn't tell you :P lool

[Excalibur]

What exactly is Jump Festa? Is it like the TGS or is it American games too? I've heard of it but never really figured out what region its from.

[cas07]

Jump Festa is a manga and anime party sponsored by the creators of all the Jump anthologies, Shueisha. It's just been sort of a tradition for Square Enix to screen new trailers there.
But seriously, I'm getting a bit tired of having to -read- what happens in the trailers, I WANT TO SEE THEM MYSELF!

[Excalibur]

^Haha I feel your pain. I want to see the gameplay because they made Noctis look so badass when he was teleporting around stabbing the soldiers. I really want to find out if the battle system would be like that as well or if the trailer was just another flashy clip. I'm sick of looking at awesome trailers and then finding out the game is crap -_-

[Naunen]

If Famitsuu covered the event, we can look forward to that.

[Final]

^ I think they did ;) Or I HOPE so. When does the new mag come out :O

[Sadistic]

This is great info seeing as we missed out on the trailers, nice find Final. Now we just wait for Famitsu and Jump Festa. Or leaked footage.

[Final]

Ahhhh... The wonders of the internet :D
And let's cross fingers for the last one :rolleyes: :P

[Sadistic]

^ Exactly. I'm going to go search now. xD

[Final]

^ Search away my friend :D Search away

[JmLopez]

we all pray that you find something

[byoushinn]

well, famitsu gets leaked tuesday night/wednesday mornings so i really hope we see something in there

[byoushinn]

the new FFXIII characters are drawn

[JmLopez]

^ nice where did u find that

[byoushinn]

it was linked from GAF, but is from a Japanese blog
isn't she a good artist! o.o

[JmLopez]

yeah... especially since she probably did that from memory

[Adam Blade]

Link that again please :| The exceeded thing happened.

[Naunen]

>_< Damn Photobucket. Got it attached. >.>

[byoushinn]

oh sorry about that, i didnt realise xD

[Adam Blade]

Ooo thanks :O

[pupucachi]

Lol... Why do the characters always have blue hairs or blond? Can they have other colours besides those? :blink:

[Wandering Hands]

+1 female character = more epic yuri potential.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually interested in the game itself. :aldo:

The visually impaired women are finally represented! I would take off my glasses in a salute, but that would leave me blind.

[Naunen]

Lol... Why do the characters always have blue hairs or blond? Can they have other colours besides those? :blink:

----This is, uh, Square-Enix, Pupu. Blonde is hawt in Nomura Final Fantasy games.

[Dream Machine]

Great pictures, its good to finally see what glasses-woman looks like.

I'm not even annoyed at closed mega theater's anymore, just fatigued. Square-Enix fail, basically.

[Stella Nox Fleuret]

Lol... Why do the characters always have blue hairs or blond? Can they have other colours besides those? :blink:

Nomura loves blondes perhaps?
But yeah, most of his characters are blonde... Edgar, Cloud, Zidane, Tidus, Vaan, Celes, Quistis, Rikku, Stella, etc etc etc etc.

[Amleya]

Nomura loves blondes perhaps?
But yeah, most of his characters are blonde... Edgar, Cloud, Zidane, Tidus, Vaan, Celes, Quistis, Rikku, Stella, etc etc etc etc.


Vaan, Celes, Edgar and Zidane aren't Nomura's chars.

[Sadistic]

Wow, whoever drew those sketches of the new characters should be a professional artist or something. There's a lot of detail in them, and it's good to know what those characters look like. I already guessed as such about Xion, though. Blonde Glasses doesn't look like a Final Fantasy character. They're becoming more refined in style.

[lux]

Lightning and mr33cm are talking (voice only)

^^;YouTube - TGS2008

[Stella Nox Fleuret]

Vaan, Celes, Edgar and Zidane aren't Nomura's chars.

Oh, I didn't knew.

And thanks for the audio, lux!

[Amleya]

Lightning and mr33cm are talking (voice only)

^^;YouTube - TGS2008 (http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=bePQoWxspZA)

Wow.... I expected her voice to sound stronger xDD

Thanks for contributing, lux.

[Sadistic]

Finally, a leak! Someone snuck a microphone in there! Great find Lux!

[Amleya]

^ Wow, is that real? If it is, finally, a leak! Someone snuck a microphone in there!

Blank has confirmed it xD It is real.

[Sadistic]

^ :dance: Next step: Video! Lol, we're not going to get that. I also edited my post. xD Does anyone here speak Japanese?

*Edit*

Holy crap the video just got removed. Who else actually heard it?

[BlankChocobo]

Lightning and mr33cm are talking (voice only)

^^;YouTube - TGS2008 (http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=bePQoWxspZA)


That's it!!! From the end of the trailer. A bit hard to hear, but it goes something like this:

Lightning: What about the mission?

Mr. 33cm: Wait!

(Lightning has a long line here I can't understand ~___~ ...............)

Mr. 33cm: I... absolutely will not give up. (....) the mission, I'll protect Sera. I swear it.

Lightning: Show me you can protect her.



I assume the translation in the detailed description is correct.

[Sadistic]

Thanks for the translation, Blank. I swear, the video got removed right after I watched/heard it.

[Wandering Hands]

Wow, Square Enix just owned YouTube.

Those bastards. :aldo:

[lux]

(Lightning has a long line here I can't understand ~___~ ...............)



＝Do you abandon your mission, and die here?You are empty

[BlankChocobo]

＝Do you abandon your mission, and die here?You are empty


Ah-ha. Thanks. ^^; No chance you have another recording of that...? =_= I tried to resurrect it, but major phail. Youtube froze on my fourth try...

[Final]

^ Gah, I will try and find it somewhere else.. People go look :P
What was the uploaders name, cause then you could try and send him a message :)
And how did their voices sound?

[Sadistic]

^ Lightning's voice was light and feminine, but very slightly deep. 33cm's voice was the usual deep male voice. Both voices kinda portrayed character personaility, but not much. I listened to it twice before it was taken down, lol.

[Final]

^ Okay thanks for the description, can anyone remember who uploaded it.. Cause then we could try to send him/her a message.

[Kätharina]

WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY SAVE IT AS A FLV ROFLFLFLF.
Gawd. :aldo:

[BlankChocobo]

^ Lightning's voice was light and feminine, but very slightly deep. 33cm's voice was the usual deep male voice. Both voices kinda portrayed character personaility, but not much. I listened to it twice before it was taken down, lol.

I thought Lightning was kind of authoritative and bitchy. XD I really found her sort of obnoxiously arrogant when she talked. I thought it was pretty deep for a female voice, but still obviously female.

Yeah, Mr. 33 cm was pretty much a generic anime dude.

EDIT: No, I have no idea who the uploader was ~_~ I watched it off the forum

EDIT EDIT: I tried to grab it as it went down, Cathy. >___< It really got shot down almost as it got put up.

[Wandering Hands]

WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY SAVE IT AS A FLV ROFLFLFLF.
Gawd. :aldo:

I HAD CAMSTUDIO AND AUDACITY OPEN! I thought, "Boy, I have to get this shit before it goes down, because it obviously will", and it was all like, "Lol, video removed, sucka", and then I was all like, "D:"

I tried. Honest, I did.

[Final]

I thought Lightning was kind of authoritative and bitchy. XD I really found her sort of obnoxiously arrogant when she talked. I thought it was pretty deep for a female voice, but still obviously female.

About Lightning sounding arogant and bitchy, couldn't it because of the situation? I mean they are arguing/fighting ^_^

DOWNLOADHELPER ON FIREFOX DOES IT IN LIKE 3 SECONDS WUMAN :wtf:

[Wandering Hands]

STFU, I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT DOWNLOADING IT! BY THE TIME MY SHITTY INTERNET STARTED, IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN GONE ANYWAY!

[BlankChocobo]

About Lightning sounding arogant and bitchy, couldn't it because of the situation? I mean they are arguing/fighting ^_^

Yeah, okay, possible. I kind of took her attitude to be the problem, but it's possible that the problem caused the attitude. XD It really didn't seem possible to tell what happened from the short dialogue, but I wonder if it's an issue of Pigtails girl being a burden on the group due to the necessity for extra protection, or if she's already been captured and mr 33 cm wants to go back for her... I don't believe pigtails was present in that scene.

[Neal]

Wow, Square Enix just owned YouTube.

Those bastards. :aldo:
Removed by the user :wtf: Probably got scared they'd get e-raped.

[pupucachi]

Lol, I missed the clip. They didnt have to remove them (O.x)

[Kitmitsu]

How the fuck did I miss this -_-. Okay, Firefox users that saw it:

YouTube - Retrieve Youtube Video From Cache (FIREFOX)

You should be able to retrieve it from your cache. I haven't watched the video fully because the music is fucking annoying but give it a go if you can and I'll shower you with love. If you skip the last step and send me the flv I'll be really happy. I'll be on my MSN at Kitmitsu@gmail.com so you can send it to me that way.

[byoushinn]

Stop picking shit off 2Ch. :wtf:

it's on 2ch?
i don't go on there, i can't navigate it
and usually it's 'ontopic pic of a game' followed by 'offtopic pic of some guy humping a doll' wayyy to dangerous :P

[Kätharina]

Yea, they are from 2Ch LOL

[✖ Yuri ✖]

oh SH!T >__>" I shouldn't miss this one .... I was looking forward to hear them
talking -_- ...... :'(

[Stella Nox Fleuret]

I didn't mind them. Usually american voices sounds weird. Like Yuna in FFX, I hope they don't add that kind of voice in Lightning, XDD.

[Wandering Hands]

HAI　GUIZ. Just been lurking in 2ch's FFXIII thread, and there was a handy link to an MP3 that I totally downloaded.　I didn't hear the YouTube video before, but this thing sounds pretty legit to me.

I reuploaded it, because the attachment thingamajoo is too slow right now.

Just click it and go! (http://www.4shared.com/file/66774720/e37bb130/ffxiiitgs2008audio.html?dirPwdVerified=d42e7a6c)

I didn't stay up late for you to make silly little mistakes like that.

[Kätharina]

FUCK
AHAHAHAHAHAHA MY BAD :aldo:
fixed noaw. :aldo: sry i was on /u/ at the time :wtf:

[Kitmitsu]

What does everyone think of the voices? They're exactly what I expected surprisingly. Lightning sounds like the general tsundre character while the blonde guy sounds like an average muscular character.

[Neal]

Big fucking "meh" to the blonde haired guy. I think his voice actor is in every anime ever made.

Lightning's is how I pictured it, not bad. Actually better than I was expecting. I was expecting a Cloud kind of tone, but she didnt seem that way really.

[byoushinn]

I was expecting a voice kinda like Re-l Mayers' (ergo proxy) for Lightning, but i like this voice also.
As for the guy, it's okay i guess, nothing special. (it suits his persona fine)

[Excalibur]

Lightning sounded kinder than I expected. The blonde guy sounded familiar probably because that's how all anime/video game VA's sound.

[entity]

I liked Mr. 33cm's voice, but Lightning's voice... I can't picture her talking with that voice :blink: Actually I can't picture a suitable voice for her at all :lol: If her voice was more Cloud-like, she would sound softer.

Meh. SE should've just chose Okiayu Ryoutaro for Mr. 33 cm :aldo: Now tthat's a manly voice!! And my ever-favourite VA.

[BlankChocobo]

I really do hope the voices get tweaked a little bit. Mr 33. was so, so generic, and Lightning had better not be so pissy the whole game or I'll get really annoyed. XD

It would have been nice to have some more context for that conversation, but oh wells. XD Maybe next time. Jump Festa in like two months. XD

[Sadistic]

Well, production isn't finished yet, so the voices will probably be changed a bit by the time of release. I just hope they're not like XII's voices, because they sounded horrible.

[Naunen]

Well, production isn't finished yet, so the voices will probably be changed a bit by the time of release. I just hope they're not like XII's voices, because they sounded horrible.

----It was the equipment that was bad. :rolleyes: XII's development team is totally different from XIII obviously.

[Sadistic]

^ Yeah, you could really hear the excess noise generated by low-quality microphones, etc. I expect audio quality to be better this time around.
I'm anticipating those new screenshots, whenever they come around.

[AT23]

Translation fix:

Lightning: What about the mission?
Mr 33cm: Wait!
Lightning: Are you already going to give up on the mission and die here?
Lightning: You... are just cheap talk.
Mr 33cm: I... absolutely will not give up! I... will complete the mission,
and protect Sera! I swear it.
Lightning: Show me you can protect (Sera).

Not sure where you guys got "devoid of meaning" but 'kuchisaki dake dana' does not equal devoid of meaning. Also it's weird for the english language to try and follow the japanese sentence structure, so saying 'Show me you can protect.' is odd. Just 'Then protect her.' or 'Show me that you can.' would be more accurate. Also, I suppose the term 'mission' can be used, but the literal translation would be "order", as in to carry out an order (of a given task/command). I bring this up because the term mission is used as a romanized word in Japan too taken directly from the english language, hence if they really wanted to convey that it was a mission, I'm sure the dialogue would have expressed it.

[Rei]

Lightning's voice fits her very well if you ask me. It is just like it should be, I wonder who the actress is. Mr 33cm.'s voice is allright.

[XIII]

Lightning's voice fits her very well if you ask me. It is just like it should be, I wonder who the actress is. Mr 33cm.'s voice is allright.

Unless my memory is failing me epicly--again--I think her voice actress is Akeno Watanabe?? I don't know who that is, simply because I don't really know voice actors and actresses. Although, I heard her voice in the...Geass?? anime, I'm not sure. (Don't watch anime much, unfortunately. Just getting into it.)

Lightning's voice sounds perfect. Well, the Japanese voice. Let's hope the USA/PAL voice is just as awesome.

I don't really have an opinion on Mr. 33cm's voice. I was paying far more attention to Lightning's. X]
