The heroine

[Thimien]

in all honesty since we have 2 caracters, i think... or hope....

That she has sort of a Cloud personaly, like she is drawn in to fight, but not becouse she wants to... im talking out of my mouth here, couse idk if any of story is out, and what do people know right now... but i want her to be a bit darker... like he is, i think he "orther caracter" has some sort of big major secret, hes not just protrecting a crystal..."how boring would taht be" i need some good story telling, and i dont want some kids as main caracters again, like Tidus and Yuna or Van... i need some personalaty....


Think with me, when FF games had no voices, or face expressions, you could so easaly tell what they are feeling in a way... now its just a bit crap... i loved Cloud and his mystiry, and Squall and his moody i dont care atittude.. couse its thoes things that make the game...couse you get to seee this tranformation, some how its better that way....

I couldnt stand Tidus and his imature crap, Van... theres just nothing there is there really???

FFX Auron is what makes the game good,
FFXII the story is like so wierd and stupid, you get to the end, and all you enjoyed was the hunting missions, and leveling up... but it did not satisfy me...
Even FFIX did more for me than all PS2 FFs did.

So this Heroine cant desapoint... i want her to be hardcore, tough and suprising...have a leader personalaty, but you never get to see any of it till mid way thru the game.

Now the dude,"in the other game" he will cool... you can oredy taste the dark feel to the game, and the deficult choices ahead... "not to meantion the blood".Becouse what is an RPG in the end???, your meant to feel your playing that Role... and at the end of a game feel you did it all...

Hope i got my messege across :D

[Thimien]

Opss i posted twice, i dont get how that hpn, i wrote it, then i changed a few things, but dont i ended up posting it before changing things lol
Sorry about that ...

[pupucachi]

Oh, actually Thimien, this is ur third reply :|. Dont do that again >"<.
And I really like Terros's theory ^^. It could explain a lot of things. Finally someone has a good explanation 'bout the water in the throne room.
Now I believe that the kingdom where the Prince lives is a dry place. It could be surrounded by derest. No wonder why Shotgun Guy licks his lip (lol!)

[Thimien]

I said i was sorry.. ><

[Terros]

Ohhh wow, this is an interesting idea.... I really like it. ^_^ But how can you tie in the idea that there are peace talks being held centering on the "peaceful use" of the crystal? Is it that people can't share it peacefully that they are trying to resolve or that the actual mechanics of using the crystal for something other than violence is something I'm not sure about. If it's the former, you sound really viable. If it's the latter, I don't know how it works. @_@
:huh: I don't think i said anything about peace talks...

Alright, I get your point. But Squall and Cloud to me were sort of bullshit characters. I think there cool, but there's still the fact that in my mind they kind of sucked. Your liking for dark characters is common, but you know there's a need for different characters that are happy and childish.

Because in all honesty I think we can relate more to Tidus' "I lost my mom when I was little, my dad was a jerk and left me and am falling in love with a nice girl named Yuna" than Cloud's " My friend was killed, I have emotion, mental, and physical problems, I believed I was someone else and for about two years after the final battle with Sephiroth I really couldn't get over my close friend Aerith who was stabbed in front of me". I have a problem feeling Cloud's role, because that's something that rarely happens in the real world.

As for the feelings, I think Tidus was also more reasonable, and Vann I'm not sure. I don't have much to say about FFXII at all. Cloud throughout most of what I've seen and the AC movie was basically hanging out on his own doing nothing. His facial expressions didn't convey anything. As for the FFVII game, they barely had facial expressions at all.

Next for the Versus Prince, I think that yes, he may be a cold person, but I think he'll also have another side to him. Not like enthusiastic Tidus, but his own real attitude that will make him seem real. Not like Auron's "My friends were killed and I'm a ghost and rarely say anything throughout the game", but a real today human's feeling. Because I have played FF games and... Rarely do I ever seem to feel accomplished even though I do love the FF games.

As for the Heroine, we don't even know who she is. I'd like her to be somewhat as you described, but be a nice kind person. Somewhat realistic, because I don't see many girls like as you described today.

:huh: I don't think i said anything about peace talks...

You're theory is good, but I have my doubts on it. However, it is a theory and it does make sense. Also, I think there may be different kinds of terrains rather than just the desert you know? The crystals have/could elemental powers, but it looks highly unlikely since the cities look high tech. Then again, you do need natural resources to survive. Though, I am doubting the whole elements thing. I think that belongs to the summons, if there are any in this game.

[Thimien]

Well, i meant the carecters on the PS1 final fantasys, had no voice, or facial expression, making the games a bit more imaginative, like readinga book, you imagine what they look like, and how they feel, they did captivate me more than, FFX... Tidus pissed me off... the start to that game just annoyed me couse he was a smartass to start with, than became childish, then fell in love..
Lets just say the FF7 and 8 storys were more believable as the caracters that played them, as for X my fav caracters were actualy Auron and Lulu, maybe becouse they are the most mature out of all of them...

[Misschoco]

but you know there's a need for different characters that are happy and childish.
yuffie comes to mind

[Terros]

And if you think about it, the summons all have an element too. I think if it was a summon it would be Leviathan because of all the water.

Just got so bored from not having any new-news about FF versus XIII characters so I decided to paint a picture of the heroine. Hoping that it would....satisfy some fans.

The art is not yet finished T__T (It's very time-consuming). I know her hair style is totally wrong but it so hard to figure out how the shape of her hair looks like with just a few sreenshots of her.

I will re-paint her hair and finish everything else later. This is just a temporary picture of her.


I hope she's a musketeer. Look at her sword @__@!!!!

p/s: Crossiel is my art-name.



----Maybe you haven't read the first-most-important message in this thread.

As you all know, a female protagonist has been confirmed, but almost nothing has been said about her. Any ideas?

Before I knew that she would be a) parallel to the King, and b) his childhood friend, I always envisioned that she would be the exact opposite of him -- white-haired, dark skin, gentle eyes, but fighting on the side of the soldiers that constantly attack the King, so she would be clad in that medieval armor. I even tried drawing her!

But, now that we know a + b, none of those things could be true. Unless, of course, she turns traitor and fights on the other side. OR, wouldn't it be tragic if the entire city turned against the King? That probably wouldn't happen, but then again, you're talking to a person who thinks the crystal will ultimately be the villain in the story. The female protagonist, though, must be one tough girl in order to have put up with the King's constant killing throughout his life -- and THAT is precisely what I'm afraid of. We already have little miss Cloudina (okay, LIGHTNING) over here that thinks she's so amazing in FFXIII. We don't need another character like that -- or, at least, I hope not, because I'll go absolutely insane. (She's one of the three reasons why I hate FFXIII already.)

In any case, sorry for the long post, but let's discuss!

----_- You have an art thread already that you could have posted this in by itself. Don't let it happen again. I'm gonna keep your quote here to remind you of your original post should you edit it.

[Terros]

Reading my old theory I don't, at this point, still COMPLETELY agree with it. Curse the lack of info. The only girl we've seen is the skirt girl and honestly we don't know who she is. And for some reason some part of me still doesn't think she's the heroine...I have a feeling the heronine is deeply connected with the crystal in some way.

But I wouldn't be suprised if I'm completely wrong, it's happened before...

[pupucachi]

What if the heroine is not human? Could the crystal create her?
Some people say she is a friend of the Prince, or has a special relationship with him... (whatever o.o). Most of us believe that the blonde girl is the heroine, and so do I. But what if she is not?
Well I have another theory: the blond girl works for/with the heroine, and she is ordered to fight the Prince. Maybe the Prince and the heroine want to protect the crystal, but for different purposes, and in different ways, which are opposite.
The heroine may not show up in the beginning, and we have to find her when we play...

----Only people speculated. Square never mentioned anything else about her other than that she's a heroine who might oppose the Prince as strongly as FFV's Faris.

[Terros]

Did Square say she would oppose the the prince? I know they said she'd be parallel to him, but that does not neccesarry mean his opposition.

[Naunen]

----Maybe I read wrong or mixed up something. We won't know when she'll be parallel to him. It looks as if their first encounter began in opposition.

[Terros]

That is providing that the skirt girl is indeed the heroine, don't forget the other canidate, the woman in the logo.

[Naunen]

[pupucachi]

I remember you saying smt 'bout the woman. I believe she is somehow related to the crystal, or she is just a symbol they want to add to the game.

[Terros]

Condsidering the past FF logo's it doesn't seem like FFvsXIII would be so vague. It think it'll be more straightforward like the other logo's, I think the woman is mostlikely a character, or some kind of object in the game (such as a statue or something).

[Misschoco]

Did Square say she would oppose the the prince? I know they said she'd be parallel to him, but that does not neccesarry mean his opposition.
People usually confuse the two meanings of parrallel-

It either means in opposition or similar-Not just one and not the other

Or maybe im just not making sense^

I think the woman is mostlikely a character, or some kind of object in the game (such as a statue or something). This seems like bad specualtion from me but maybe the female in the artwork is just there to represent the idea of 'sleep'which was I think one of the main themes of the game.But if not then she must be related to the crystal strongly due to the fact that representationally she is the only and prominent figure in the artwork.

I never thought of it that way before. 0.0

Although, to me, that picture could still be a character in the game. But, she could look drastically different from the logo for all we know now that the game has been in development longer. >_>

A change of artwork maybe O_o-Depends if tetsuya is that indecisive about his initial designs.

[N O C T E]

A change of artwork maybe O_o-Depends if tetsuya is that indecisive about his initial designs.

I don't know if they would change the logo now though. I would if I changed the character. :aldo:

And I think that most people are indecisive about their designs. As the vision they had evolves, so does the design.

[GrimReaperXIII]

A change of artwork maybe O_o-Depends if tetsuya is that indecisive about his initial designs.

He's not undecisive, just very slow at revealing. I remember when KH2 was being developed and it took a year or something to see Kairi's face. >_<

[pupucachi]

I dont think they will change the logo :|

[Terros]

If she is a character considering the level of detail, I don't think her design will be drastically changed.

[Misschoco]

Im still convinced the female depicted in the artwork represents a theme and not a character.

[pupucachi]

They let Yuna appear in the logo of FF X and X-2 ( Rikku and Paine too)
So I believe that woman is a character of Versus

[Terros]

Yeah, all the FF logo's of who's story I know was something directly from the game like a character or object. It just doesn't seem like they'd suddenly change that. I guess maybe because we aren't really seeing how the idea of "sleep" is playing into the game yet we can't be sure.

[Élan]

I don't think it's likely for the logo to change...so she could be a theme, or she could be a character in the game who's design may slightly change (if there's any change at all). Maybe she could be the villain. Or the Prince's mom. But for some reason I think of Madame Web from Spider-Man.

[pupucachi]

The Prince's mom? I like ur idea :D

Its a bit constrictive thinking to say that they wont change it because thats how it played along all those years for other games.Its already mentioned by nomura (hell I cant find the quote) that FFvxiii will break out from FF tradition.Whatever he meant exactly....

[Terros]

I think he meant that more towards the battle system and theme-wise of the game. Also Nomura doesn't make the logo's someone else makes them, so I don't think he'll change his style of using something/someone direct from the game. But who's to say? He could very well be using a character from in the game to convey the idea of "Sleep". The Logo may vary well be a combonation of both the theories we have going on here.

----Then I shall question the logo of FFXIII of what looks like a cycle of transformation.

I think so too...though it feels that we've strayed into a different topic completely....perhaps the recent posts should be relocated to the proper topic...

[Naunen]

----Perhaps not. All we need is to go back on topic by referring to the thread message and reading every post within thus far. I do not believe the woman in the logo could be a candidate to be the heroine however but who knows? The woman in the logo could be equivalent to the Goddess from Loveless in Crisis Core.

I do hope the rapier girl is on the strong side rather than be like other heroines of other Final Fantasy games. After all, it has been confirmed that she is the heroine, is it not?

[pupucachi]

I hope she is. Because that game lacks women >_<

[Naunen]

I hope she is. Because that game lacks women >_<

----I hope so too. Also, FFXIII, from what I've seen, lacks men. :whistle:

[pupucachi]

Oh, if that's the problem, I'll kipnap some girls in XIII and let them appear in the blue kingdom :shifty:, and do the same with versus :rolleyes:

[Terros]

I still think the woman in the logo is going to be an actual character, whether or not she'll play a direct or indirect role. Was the skirt girl confirmed as the heroine? All we know is that she is someway connected to the prince but we don't know who she is yet. Plus, there's still a bunch of chracters we haven't seen. We still don't know who the villian is or anything...I have a feeling there are still some key character which have yet to be revealed.

[sasdx]

Im wondering if anyone thought the girl in the skirt was his girlfriend?

[pupucachi]

:) We have already talked about their relationship (...well I dont remember where)
It will be great if it is true. But I dont think Nomura will let that happen.

[Terros]

She might be we don't know.

[pupucachi]

Well I dont want her to be his lover, I want her to be his rival

[Terros]

I don't really care for her, which is why I hope she's not the heroine. She's a little too atypical...when I say this I mean that her design doesn't surprise me at all...and I don't find anything about her perticularly striking. But this is probably just me. The woman in the logo carries with her this air of mystery and power...but again this is probably only me.

[N O C T E]

Nothing is really un-ordinary now in the industry, its just, something great sells, everyone copies it, another dev eventually dares to make something else, it sells, rinse, wash, repeat.

I just hope she is... unique. Breaks the current mold.

I should hope so considering her design uninventive and unimaginative.

Wellll, I would not go that far. Some people may have seen her, but not I, and I will hold off my assumptions.

[Terros]

Wellll, I would not go that far. Some people may have seen her, but not I, and I will hold off my assumptions.
To be honest my biggest problem with her is that skirt-girl resembles Lightning a little too much...in my opinion. I guess I was hoping that Nomura might surprise me. Honestly the final fantasy series needs more diversty race wise.

[N O C T E]

To be honest my biggest problem with her is that skirt-girl resembles Lightning a little too much...in my opinion.

Meh, I wish she had a different hair colour, but thats just personal preference. :aldo:

I think their demeanors are different, which is good.

[Naunen]

I think that they better release new designs soon just so we don't assume that's her final design already. They all seem to have the same facial structure anyway. D;

[Terros]

I hope if skirt girl is the heroine she gets a massive overhaul.

[pupucachi]

I hope they will let us control the heroine.

[sasdx]

Ok can someone please explain this heroine thing i got lost.

[Naunen]

Ok can someone please explain this heroine thing i got lost.

----Uh... We're speculating on who the heroine is and of what she may be like. So far, we've only seen the girl in the skirt.

[Terros]

And the girl on the Logo, I don't know why people think she doesn't count.

[pupucachi]

I think she is. What if we can summon her?

[Terros]

I think she is. What if we can summon her? Sorry, this seems a little vague to me, are you reffering to the girl on the logo?

[pupucachi]

Yes, she could be a spirit or something

[Terros]

She could be, but I think she'll be a more important character rather than one who is relegated to the role of just a summon.

[pupucachi]

I agree with you that she is important, but I have the feeling that she is not human.

[Terros]

Which I think so too, she may be the crystal. You never know.

[sasdx]

Maybe shes one of those experiments like in some tv shows and shes all special.

[pupucachi]

Maybe shes one of those experiments like in some tv shows and shes all special.

Experiment? Well, I dont think so. I think she is good... like Aerith...:thumbsup:
So she cant be like those experiments in some movies or some games, like Resident evil :rolleyes:

Which I think so too, she may be the crystal. You never know.

Hehe, perhaps the crystal needs a translator, so that people can understand it-_-

[epsilon]

I think this heroine should not be a playable character cos she seem to be the foe of the prince.

[Terros]

I think this heroine should not be a playable character cos she seem to be the foe of the prince. I don't agee, no where does it say she'll neccessarily his foe, and to me it seemed it was implied that she would be playable, even if not directly (like a party member or something). I just don't want her to be the skirt girl, I think I'd preffer the woman on the logo or someone we haven't seen yet.

[pupucachi]

I like the woman better than the skirt girl. She is not my type. And I'm more curious 'bout the woman... At least they have information about the girl, but the woman is still a mystery... It will be cool if she is a goddess... And we can control a goddess :D

[Maiya Saiyado]

I think I'm the only one who actually likes the Skirt Girl the way she is. I guess only because she seems to have popped out of one of our real life magazines from France or something, but nevermind that. However, seeing as we have only seen screenshots and like a ten second video of her moving, I'm limited to my own opinion.

Maybe the woman in the logo is a goddess, like Minerva from Crisis Core. Just taking a shot at it though. Let's just hope the prince is not completely infatuated/devoted to the goddess like Genesis was. Though, that may be exaggerating it.

[pupucachi]

SE wont make another character like Genesis. I see the Prince is not that type, he is a different person.
And about the skirt girl, I think she is not really strong.

[Cilvia]

well i had an opinion that she might be his sister, but.... dont know what, but there is a big BUT in my head.
I see the logic line of the game story:
Enemies->cold to each other, but they start to understand they have same point-> he saves her life at cost of his.

[pupucachi]

I highly doubt that she is his sister. I dont know but their attacks seem familiar with each other, and I read somewhere that her eyes can change into violet.
It's possible that they learned their skills in the same place. The girl seems to have a strong character.
It makes them look alike (...well, maybe o.o)
Nomura said she was focred to fight the Prince. That means they are not really enemies. So they may have a cooperation in the future.
And the girl should save herself. I dont like the idea that he saves her.

Square incest.Rofl ignore me too much Air gear manga sexualisation.

Anyways.

Usually I would determine that if the seals behind their backs are the same then their on the same drift working alongside each other since they share similar things etc.I'v always thought of her playing on both sides of the coin-If you understand what Im imposing here?

[Jive Turkey]

I wonder if we get to control her from time to time. I think that'd be pretty cool.

But yeah I think maybe they have the same "teacher" or sensei or whatever, but not necessarily making them siblings but hey ya never now.

[pupucachi]

Yeah, I hope we can control the heroine as a bonus character after finish the game, like Ada in RE 4. It will make us understand the story better.

[Little Miss Scarlett]

Is it actually confirmed that she's the heroine, or just presumed? She could just be a side character who's design SE finished first.

Anyway, I think that in this game you'll get to play as alot of different characters. I'm only guessing, but like SE said there'd be shooter bits, or something, that might what the shotgun guys used for. So presumably the heroine would have her own special bits as well, or whatever.

[TheWolf8.0]

"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." This is a quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet in which Hamlet the prince of Whereever does all this crap against his uncle who married his mother and killed his father. He loves his uncle's advisor's daughter Ophelia - who i think is the girl in FFVXIII - and breaks her heart. She goes crazy and kills herself. In a photo of FFVXIII we see a man sitting at a table, i would say he looks very "kingly". Also the white haried man could be Laertes who Hamlet has to fight in the play or Fortinbras. The three men seen with the Protagonist (Shotgun Guy, The Driver, and the Guy with the Scar) could be Horatio, and the Two guys that betray Hamlet in the story. In Hamlet everyone dies except Horatio who Hamlet appoints the new king. And don't forget the famous sililoquoy by Hamlet. To be or not To be...To sleep perchance to dream, but aye there's the rub for what dreams may come....blah blah blah. And Sleep is obviously a theme within the game. In the trailers we'ev seen the Prince -Hamlet is a prince - starts off alseep or ends up asleep. And in the FFVXIII logo the girl is sleep on her hands.

***Also Hamelt gets really mad at Ophelia because she betrays him. She side with her father who is Hamlet's Uncle's (the King's) advisor. Bum Bum Bummmmmm!!!


Just a small thought or two who knows if i'm right, i just know that it's believed to have some connection with Hamlet.

----Uh, the Prince has lots of weapons like in the trailer. It's said that as the player, we can use them too. He's got swords, halberds, guns, and axes. o.o
I guess I'll just stick with my thoughts on the skirt girl being the anti-heroine and the logo lady a representative of the Crystal. Still too early to speculate deeply.

[Terros]

I just feel like my intution is telling it's not the skirt-girl. The woman on the logo however, I find very striking. She's indeed a very curious lady, maybe cause there hasn't even been a slightest hint as to what her purpose is.

[Gaia]

Um, didn't Tetsuya make a point in an interview somewhere that Versus will have no love in it? So why is everyone talking about the Versus protagonist and the skirt girl possibly being in love? I mean they could possibly love each other or whatever (but I highly doubt it).
And has anyone considered the fact that she won't be the only female in the game? I'm pretty sure that Square might create more girl characters that will be in the game and some of them we'll be able to control. I mean, that's how it is the the previous games right? Because its not all about the skirt girl you know, we barely know anything about her so we should just wait for more information on her before we all start going all gushy and lovey over them being in love and all that stuff. 'Cause there could be another female character in that game that could be just as important as her.
And as TheWolf8.0 made an effort to make a point of, from what news Square Enix has dished out so far on Versus the story or the game seems like its going to be similar or have something to do with Hamlet.
"To be...or not to be...that is the question." I think that's how it goes or whatever. The skirt girl could well be his enemy.
Anyways that's just my opinion on the whole thing.

[Little Miss Scarlett]

SE also said in an interview that the primary characters would be predominantly male - i.e. the Prince and his mates - for realism. Because in real life people tend to be in groups of the same gender, y'know what I mean?

There will be other important female characters other than the heroine, that's pretty much a given. And like I said before, I don't think Skirt Girls been confirmed as the heroine.And I don't remember it being said anywhere that there won't be any romance :blink:. Meh, there might be, there might not. As long as it's good, eh?


----Uh, the Prince has lots of weapons like in the trailer. It's said that as the player, we can use them too. He's got swords, halberds, guns, and axes. o.o
I guess I'll just stick with my thoughts on the skirt girl being the anti-heroine and the logo lady a representative of the Crystal. Still too early to speculate deeply.


Oh yeah... that makes sense too, I suppose. Still, I'd prefer getting to use different characters, it's more fun that way :D

[pupucachi]

Uhm about the romance thing, I read it in one of Nomura interviews... there wont be any romance in this game... too bad I cant find it in our web now :(
About the heroine, I think it will be another person, not the skirt girl or the woman in the logo. I actually think that she is older than the Prince.
It's possible that other characters will appear in the next trailer.
From what i know, there's another character we dont see in the trailers. He appears to be a fighter:

This picture doesnt look like Nomura's design. I'm not sure if he's real or not.
But if it's true, then Vs XIII will have more characters. So perhaps we can see the heroine next time.

[naru2o]

I dont think he will like to go with that girl she might be to much for him

[pupucachi]

Well I just want to say that Vs XIII may have more interesting characters that we havent seen yet :rolleyes:, including the heroine
(sorry about the picture)

[Naunen]

Uh... Why are we talking about pairing them up? Speculate about who the heroine may be instead? There's the skirt girl and the woman in the logo. Speculate about chances of there being other females as well.

[Naunen]

Maybe the heroine could be someone they haven't even showed yet, but the side-character may be Lighting who takes the place of the heroine when the actual heroine is missing or gone. Ever think abou that, or maybe it could like in FFXII where you took control of Reks first but he really wansn't the main character. It is possible that when controlling the actual heroin that Lightning will also be on your party.

Just thinking out loud people.

----Do you know for sure or do you mean, "I swear HE's him"? Let's not sound too sure if we don't know. Talk would get around.

[Little Miss Scarlett]

I don't think she's the heroine, either. I have a feeling it's someone we haven't seen yet. Don't ask me why, I just don't think she looks very... heroine-y. I'll eat my words if she is, though. Oh, and I think they would have pointed out that she was the heroine in one of the interviews, too.

Not sure about the woman the logo. I think she's just a crystal-y thing/whatever. She might just be there to look pretty.

[Gaia]

Well that's what I was saying before! There could possibly other female characters in the game that haven't been revealed yet. The skirt girl could just be an enemy to the prince, just because Square introduced her first doesn't mean that she and the protagonist are in love or whatever. You guys like romance too much! I don't even know why anyways, its not even that good in the games! there are never any kissing scenes and no one actually says how they feel about each other!
I think there is going to be another girl character, more important then the skirt girl anyways; the woman in the logo could be a possibility...she's sleeping ^_^

[Little Miss Scarlett]

Did you miss the five hour kissing scene with Yuna and Tidus?

Meh, I have a feeling she's an important enemy. That make sense?
And anyone else think the heroine will have dark hair?

[Cilvia]

----Do you know for sure or do you mean, "I swear HE's him"? Let's not sound too sure if we don't know. Talk would get around.e thhat

i dont know for sure, but im sure :)
they so damn similar!
If thats so, cloud it be that he and the heroine are broth and sis? blond hair both, some reason for thinkin about that :)

[Gaia]

Meh, I have a feeling she's an important enemy. That make sense?

Oh right, I forgot about that scene; it was when they were in the water right? Well what I meant was that there are rarely any kissing scenes, I'll put it like that- not that I care about kissing in games anyways.

I think the heroine will have black hair, or something close to that color; it'd be nice if her hair color was unique like Lightning's.

[Little Miss Scarlett]

Yay! Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so! I say she should have dark purple hair :D
Seriously though, maybe that sort of blue-black colour.

Not that it really matters...

[pupucachi]

:) I like white and black theme... So if the heroine is someone we haven't seen yet, I want her to be like this: Her hair is white/ silver, her eyes are green, she wears white/ black clothes. She's 2 or 3 years older than the Prince. She appears to be a quite, smart one, sometimes can be funny. She is a magician, uses light magic. She usually smiles, but says nothing.
:D The heroine can be like that... or: She is a fighter, has black hair, cold blue/black eyes. She wears black clothes, has a cool sword/javelin, maybe can use some dark magic. She is icy, strict and intelligent. And she doesnt talk much, but likes children... and drinking water XD

[Little Miss Scarlett]

^ Awww, that's really sweet, the "cold but likes children" bit :D

Ugh, this is the problem with SE taking so long to give us any info! We all start to get our own ideas about what's going to happen and what all the characters are like. Then it's nothing like we imagined. Meh. Black and white does rock, though.

I suppose it depends how you look at it as to whether it's good or bad.

[pupucachi]

Yeah, light is not always good, and dark is not always bad. The heroine... well she can be a true heroine with her people, but can be considered a bad one with the others.

[Gaia]

I like the part about her having black hair and being a fighter but I wouldn't want her to be cold. I would want her to be positive, happy, but serious and sometimes sad. It'd also be cool if she was a mage and a warrior.:)

Ugh! I wish SE would tell more information about these games, I feel like an idiot guessing about characters and how I think this and that is going to be. :(

[Little Miss Scarlett]

Personally, I hope they stray away from having the heroine a white magic-y person. It gets so old. I want her to be unique, so perhaps being a little cold wouldn't hurt. And sarcasm. Sarcasm's always good :aldo:

Sorry SE but I'm getting tired of the whole 'white magic heart of gold' stereotype :nag: !

[pupucachi]

My "white heroine" is a wizard (maybe elementalist) . I'm not sure if she can use white magic or not. But she'd better heal herself before someone kills her .

[InquietusSomnus]

So, are you guys saying that the Rapier girl is not the heroine? She's the only thing feminine I've seen so far in "FFVersusXIII".

[Little Miss Scarlett]

She might be the heroine, she might not.

And just because she's the only female we've seen so far hardly means she's the only female in the game. We really have no idea due to how stingy SE with information. Personally, I don't think she's the heroine, but that's only my opinion.

Hmm... I'm not completely against white magic (any magic in general is pretty awesome) just the whole heart of gold thing. In fact, I'd love it if she was a white mage and at the same time a total bitch XD

Lol, I wouldn't really want her to be a bitch though.

[Gaia]

I guess you've got a point on the whole 'heart of gold thing' it is getting pretty old. It'd be nice if she had alot of attitude.
But I'm pretty sure there are going to be more girls then the blonde skirt girl, She's just the first one Square has introduced. But then again, she could be the heroine.
Again, in the end, we just don't have enough information. :aldo:

[InquietusSomnus]

Ooooh, I didn't say she was the only girl. I just meant she was the only one we have seen so far. So far, what my cousin, sibling and I have wondered is maybe she starts out evil and then, after fighting and being defeated, she becomes good? I am not entirely sure.
Whoever the heroine is, I don't know, but I'm sure she's going to be a neat character. ;) And I agree with the previous posts about the heart of gold thing? You've seen that kind of female character in too many things!

[Gaia]

I think that all of us, if not most have the same ideas about the heroine. And it would be interesting if she starts out evil and then turns good in the end but that kind of thing has been done many times before; if not in games but in movies and books and so on. What do I kow anyways?:rolleyes:

[Little Miss Scarlett]

Yeah, a none cliched situation would be prefered.

As long as everythings memorable and unique as it can be I'll be satisfied. It's hard to do something new these days; everythings already been done to death XD

[Gaia]

^Agreed^_^

[InquietusSomnus]

I agree as well. ;)

[Maiya Saiyado]

Aha, I don't believe thinking of a new uncliche idea is that hard. I mean look at Nomura and his idea of turning a key into a freaking weapon.

But getting a bit off topic, I don't believe the heroine will be to out of the ordinary. I'm rather afraid that they are going to ruin her character. My random guess is that she probably won't be happy, but then again maybe she will. Just look at Shotgun.

And that leads me to a question, anybody got an idea on what her status in society would be? Like Shotgun is a fugitive and the Prince is well a prince.

[Little Miss Scarlett]

True, key = weapon is pretty unique, but the rest of the game certainly wasn't.

I have a horrible feeling you could be right. But I do remember someone from SE saying that, for the Prince at least, they were trying to stray away from having a character that's the same all the time, you know what I mean? So just having the characters be in different moods depending on the situation and the people they're with would already make a lot of difference. A lot more humanity, I live in hope!

And for the last bit, I don't think anybody knows. I had one idea that she was from one of those surrounding countries that are all medievil-ish. I also had a lot of other ideas that would only really work in my head :P

Maybe she'll be an assassin or a secret agent lol:lol:
Okay I'll be serious, I never really thought about what her status would be...you've got a point in bringing that up. Maybe she doesn't have to have a status? Maybe she's just a normal girl who can fight and cast magic?:blink:
Any other ideas?

[Maiya Saiyado]

Stick a fork in me, beat me with a stick, whatever. My ideas for the heroine have long died out after spending pages after pages assuming things. I can only bet that her personality or rather moods won't stay the same since the team is trying to create people that seem like people we would meet today. No ones ever the same and we always act differently depending on what is going on. I guess that's the basis for the heroine as well. Just as Darling said, because that's how humans are.

But I have met one person that has the same face/mood all the time. I guess the heroine could be like that. Still praying Veruko might be the heroine.

[pupucachi]

Maybe she'll be an assassin or a secret agent lol:lol:

Yeah, she could be anyone: A normal girl, a princess, a spy, a leader of an army, the Prince's old friend, an unknown mage/fighter... whoever she is, her life will change because of the crystal.

[Terros]

About the romance thing, I think it was meant that romance will not play a large role in the game, it may very well still be there as part of character developement but more an undertone. As for the heroine, lately I'm thinking she'll be like one of the armored solidiers....

[Kitmitsu]

Me and Nero both agree that the only person we wanted to see in the new trailer was the girl. It's a shame she wasn't filmed because she actually looked interesting :/.

[Little Miss Scarlett]

^ Armored soldier? Not a bad idea, eh? It's certainly unique, SE normally like the girls to be in something revealing and figure hugging (perverts) so actual armor would be pretty good.

And the fangirl in me demands that there are at least romantic undertones :nag:

[Naunen]

Yeah. Too bad that leaked video wasn't longer. I wanted to see if it'd be possible to guess attitude by how the girl would hold herself.

[Terros]

I wanted to see more of the enemy the prince will be fighting against. But anywho, I think that if she was one of the armor people she'd be pretty cool. I too wish to see someone not stereo-typical off the FF female. I wouldn't mind seeing a more masculine heroine, some but not overboard muscle mass, and more of a tom-boy. A girl who's a bit rough around the edges.

[naru2o]

It dosen't matter what she looks like as long as she look cool -http://finalfantasy-xiii.net/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif

[Gaia]

It is disappointing that we haven't seen her in any trailer, I think she looks pretty and interesting in the pictures though^_^.

^ And I highly doubt that they will put her in armor, like Darling said they normally put them in very...er....feminine clothing; well not all the girls.
Hey I have something- what if the heroine or another girl that SE will create for the game has really long hair? If you think about it there's not too many main characters that are girls who have long hair, most of them have short hair or they tie it up like Fran from FFXII, Rikku, and Lulu from X.
I'm talking about actualy loose knee-length hair that's not restricted in anyway.:P

[Maiya Saiyado]

Ah, Kit, I love you. Finally someone else who is actually interested in the Skirt Girl. Haven't seen many.

But anyway, an armored soldier heroine makes me think female version of grunt Cloud from CC. And Terros' want of a tomboyish heroine that's rough around the edges makes me think Ashe. But I think that's not what your thinking of.

Huh, you know I'd expect the heroine to be one of the first people shown in the trailers, but I guess that doesn't count with Versus. But if it counts for anything I'm thinking that SE might once again go with the cliche of making the heroine some high ranking figure like a princess or knight even if they say they are trying to stray from the usual.

[Terros]

They might put her in armor one of the armored characters in the new KH is female and that was designed by Nomura. So I wouldn't say "NO WAY" just yet.

[Maiya Saiyado]

About the heroine having long hair, I think the reason is that it's rather hard to fight with long hair. Very easy for it to be chopped off by an incoming sword. Thus, the hairties and stuff. Unless it's a summon, I guess.

[Gaia]

Yeah, I know; the whole hair being cut by a sword and whatever...
>_<*being stubborn* But I still think that there can be an exception and they still should create at least one female character with long hair for once!

[pupucachi]

The main characters that let their hair down are Rinoa and Tifa, but their hairs and clothes look familiar with each other, which make them look like sisters. And we also have Lenne and other female girls in the remakes that have long hair. If SE is going to make the heroine have long hair, I hope her hair style will be different. (Does anyone want her hair to be curly? :rolleyes:)
The armor is a good idea. I dont know any main characters who wear armor (only villians and enemies wear that). It will fit the heroine if she is a fighter.
By the way, I like Minerva Goddess's hair style from Crisis Core. I want the heroine's hair to be like that, but it will be dark blue instead of blond.
But... what if the skirt girl is actually the heroine >_<? Then we are wasting our time. If she is, I hope Nomura will let her change the clothes. I dont really like her costume.

[Naunen]

Again, all designs are most likely temporary.

That, my friend, is the skirt girl we've all been talking about- but we're not really sure if she's the actual heroine or not. That's why we're making all these speculations about her until SE give us more information on the characters of Versus^_^

YES! I really really want just ANY female to have curly hair! I swear none of the FF characters have ever had curly hair. It's time for a change :nag:. And I agree about her clothes, what the hell is with that Granny cardigan? I do like her skirt, though.

And for the record, I don't dislike the Skirt girl, and if she is the heroine I'll probably end up loving her. I just don't think she stands out much at the moment. But that could change once we see her in motion. It's amazing what a difference someones demeanor can make.

[Gaia]

Oh yeah! I totally agree!
There haven't been any with curly hair, I'm disappointed about that. And quite frankly I'm tired of blondes! What about having more girls with red hair for once? Or non-natural colored hair like green, blue, pink, or white or whatever.
In my opinion, her whole outfit kind of looks stupid, but the skirt looks cute I guess;I just hope they re-design her outfit or something 'cause its not really working for me.

[Little Miss Scarlett]

I say they give her one of Clouds many sexy outfits :aldo:

[Gaia]

Yes! I love his outfit in Advent Children! Or something similar to it.
Black is the new pink! -Well, I think it still is, right? :blink:

If the woman on the logo is the heroine she'll have semi-curly hair since her hair kinda starts to curl (more like wave actually) about half-way down.

[Maiya Saiyado]

I think it would be hard to give the heroine some different color for hair. I mean, seriously, would a person with bright blue hair out of the whole Versus crew work? Or even red? It would seem kind of out there. I can see that working with FFXIII though because of all of the bright colors in there already. But that's just my opinion in it.

As for the heroine's or even Veruko's clothing, it'll most likely be altered. Can't wait to see it. I'd rather not see anymore AC like clothing, though. Got my full dosage during the movie. As for curly, what curly are we talking about here? There are certain levels of it.

[Little Miss Scarlett]

I kind of meant dresses, Cloud has many. And I say wild curly, 'cause it looks hot :aldo:

[Maiya Saiyado]

I think that might be overkill for the heroine. Those dresses could never look good on anyone except Cloud. :aldo:

[Naunen]

I think that might be overkill for the heroine. Those dresses could never look good on anyone except Cloud. :aldo:

----Damn straight.

And for anyone out there reading this thread, "Veruko" is a fan name for the female character in the skirt.

[Little Miss Scarlett]

True, it's probably because he has abs instead of boobs :aldo:

[pupucachi]

Versus is still in development now. Perhaps Nomura has already completed his design for the heroine, perhaps not. I will say nothing if the Veruko girl is the heroine.
About the woman in the logo, well although I really like her, I dont think she's the heroine :(. But I do think that she will play a big role in the game.
In my opinion, Nomura will make the heroine's design simple,( he wont let his heroine wear Cloud's clothes >_<). Maybe he will make her hair curly and let her wear armor if he reads this thread :rolleyes:. But it's very possible that she has straight hair and wears simple clothes >_<

[sasdx]

Hopefully she isnt like insanely busty.

[Saruyu]

Well By the looks of it she isn't. It looks like Lightning has a friendly side of her. I like Lightning acually because she wont be like one of those Touchy Feelly type that lets there emotion controls over them. By the looks of it SHe is a kick ass character that wont take any bull which i like. But what else is there of the main character. That is the question i will be waiting for

[Crystal Bearer]

most RPGs have a bit of romance in, its just how the developers think. without romance an RPG just isn't the same. i agree that it shouldn't just be one big romance story cause that would just be annoying.

[7 of Hope]

It good when you have a little love and romance in the mix, it makes things more interesting and offers up some interesting situations. But it shouldn't just be romance, it overwhelms everything else.

I dont think i've ever even heard of a RPG that has just been romance. I dont think it would even work.

----This thread is Final Fantasy Versus XIII. There ain't a Lightning in this.

[Gaia]

I don't think Square would make a female insanely busty. And the skirt girl already has simple clothing, but I highly doubt they would make the heroine has really curly hair and put her in armor (maybe wavy hair?). I'm quite interested in the woman in the logo though, will she presented in the game as a playable character?- this should be given some thought. And I for one would like to enjoy a romance free game for once, I don't know why but when the romance doesn't go my way I just go crazy:rolleyes:
And at this point I could care less about what this 'imaginary girl' is going to wear. Veruko, which people call the skirt girl for a reason that is unknown to me, could still be the heroine we just have know clue because there is insufficient amount of information on the characters. I really want to know more about her though.

[sasdx]

I was just wondering if the heroine and prince are like engaged or something and the bad peoplez are stoping them from marrying :'(

[Maiya Saiyado]

Errr... You sure they wouldn't make a female like the heroine insanely busty? Just look at Tifa and Veruko's sporting some heavy stuff. I kind of noticed how large her chest was the second I looked at her. It could just be me though.

I don't think so, there's a good chances the heroine might start off in opposition to the Prince.

What if we have to take a side in the game? Like whoever we agree with the most...fight for the heroine's ideals or the Princes...I wonder what that'd be like. That is if they are indeed in opposition of each other.

true true...i was also thinking it might be like one of those bleach things where someone goes against someone. Because something happen.

[Blackrazor]

I feel that they will have a rather complicated relationship.
I can bet u a million dollars that they will be romantically involved one way or another!!

[Little Miss Scarlett]

So, did they confirm Skirt Girl as the heroine? I'm pretty sure they did, so I'm eating my words.

She's apparantly shy and polite and they meet at a party, sounds pretty romantic to me.

[pupucachi]

Shy people often hide smt :aldo:. I think she wont show her true face at the beginning.

[Little Miss Scarlett]

I hope so. Drammatic betrayals plz :aldo: With threats and killing people.

[Gaia]

Yeah...I think Nomura confirmed the skirt girl is the heroine. -_- I just hope she won't be another boring and polite character. Its seems that there relationship will get pretty complicated and its difficult to imagine them not being romantically involved! If there is romance (which I still doubt) then I hope like Heartilly said there will be lots of betrayal and drama please ^_^
I live for drama :wub:

[Fantasygurl1227]

If she literally stabs him in the back, that will be some serious drama O.O

[ceilxx]

I wouldn't be surprised if she was psychotically insane on the inside 8DDD I love those kinds of characters ;-;

But yes, it would be a huge twist if skirt girl betrays the prince or something 8)

Fantasygurl1227 - That made me laugh XD

[skirtgirl]

i hope the girl and the prince will fall in love. =)

[SquallEX]

The heroine looks hot..My eye burns when I look at her.

[Terros]

So then she was confirmed. Oh well. I had hopes for the woman on the logo...

[7 of Hope]

Well, some people say that the woman on the logo & Skirt Girl look alot alike so they could turn out being the same person.

[Terros]

I'm not so sure...the hair is different....but who's to say.

[pupucachi]

I think they are different characters. I dont see any similar things.

[Moklin]

In a japanese magazine, it said that the blonde girl was the antagonist. Is that true?

[Naunen]

----Where'd it say that and who translated that?

[Cilvia]

it looks like you were close to heart attack, nau :lol:

[Naunen]

it looks like you were close to heart attack, nau :lol:

----Do elaborate on what you mean.

Of course, I never read the word "antagonist" about the girl.

[SquallEX]

If it is true.That is bad..(well for me)

[Terros]

If it's true this could be really fun for me. There expression in the screenshot of the party makes me think of Aeries. ....hmmm...really I can't decide whether I like her or not. I ain't diggin her design that's for sure.

[IBeatSephiroth]

She does look like Aeris, when you think about it. Just she has blonde hair, bluish eyes and a different nose. I'm thinking she starts off an ally, then betrays the good guys and turns 'evil'. Imagine; the Prince starts to *ehem* like her, then she goes all antagonistic and he ends up having to kill her? Or maybe, it's the other way around and she starts off an enemy and eventually becomes an ally.

When it comes to her expression (http://finalfantasy-xiii.net/final-fantasy-xiii/screenshots/final-fantasy-versus-xiii-hd-df-02.jpg), I think she's up to something.

As for the resemblence thing, I think the two females are either sisters or the same person. The alikeness of the pair is very close, but remember she (http://finalfantasyversusxiii.net/finalfantasyversusxiii/screenshots/magazine-clippings/final-fantasy-versus-xiii-feb-clipping-03.jpg) is in FMV graphics while she (http://finalfantasy-xiii.net/final-fantasy-xiii/screenshots/final-fantasy-versus-xiii-hd-df-02.jpg) is in in-game graphics. Note the Prince looks slightly different in the two graphics types.

You know, in six months' time, we're all probably going to look back on this discussion and think 'Jeez... How did we come up with those ideas when it was right there in front of us all along?'

Due to my fangirlsim I pray she turns evil and then he ends up killing her.Fuking aeris pretty girl.I'v only seen the new screenshots today-to be honest I was expecting a female a lil more rugged Im not refering to shemales pls.

Is it just me or do her feet seem large here.

http://finalfantasy-xiii.net/final-fantasy-xiii/screenshots/final-fantasy-versus-xiii-hd-df-01.jpg

Oh no am I being mean :aldo:

[Terros]

Those are some monster shoes! XD

[pupucachi]

Her high heels look so weird :V

[ceilxx]

Maybe she likes .. shoes with big heels .. ? D8 She is apparently 'ladylike'.

[Gaia]

Yeah...I noticed the shoes too...they're ugly, not a good fashion choice my dear :rolleyes:
It'd be a nice twist if she was evil though and she and the prince were against each other, I have seen no magazine that confirmed her being an antagonist though >_<

[Misschoco]

Thank you all for boosting my ego with your shoe bitching comments :aldo:

Im comfirming to myself their somewhat obliged to go against each other.Anyone remember in the trailer descriptions-when it was mentioned that when they were going head to head the females face had a glimpse of sadness when facing the prince and his expression was suprised.Sadness due to the fact that she now has tp defy him when they only just had a positive meeting at the party-Im sure everyones already figured this.

[Yue]

The prince already look surprising only by a headlock from the shotgunguy, I think he is a normal person although he looks very cold, only that he show very few emotions and yes... I really must say that too... Hist outfit and he looks very cool but... His shoes are really, really, really... with other words ugly T__T...

[Cilvia]

lol ppl
you only truly saw him *alive* in the trailer.
HOW can you call him cold?
Wtf another should he do when he was woken up in the middle of night, by the army of crazzy men, killing his guards?
What face expression would you have in this situation????
Of course he was like *cold*

[pupucachi]

That's what people talk about him :V: A cold prince :aldo:

[Cilvia]

he is not cold he is shocked.

[Little Miss Scarlett]

It would be a little odd if he laughed manically while he was killing them :blink:

[Cilvia]

Well that would be pretty cool. FF misses cool, crazzy main chars, without any rightness in them :aldo:
But that what was i exactly saying, he just couldnt have another reastion.
In fact, in the leaked trailer part, where he is talking with the blond guy, he was look like smiling oO

[ceilxx]

We're supposed to being talking about the heroine D8

I always thought that skirt girl would be someone like Aerith or Rinoa .___.; I doubt the girl in the logo and skirt girl are the same person .. or related in any way >__>;;

[Naunen]

Quit getting off topic, guys. Yes, we're talking about the heroine.

[Miuccia]

I read this on Maiki's blog (http://maiki.livejournal.com/566684.html#cutid1) . . . It's about the real-time trailer shown at the DKΣ3713 event:


FFVS13
- Prince (with a new design; seems like he's wearing a suit?) walked up a flight of stairs in a place that looks like a museum and he found the blonde girl looking at an artwork by Amano Yoshiyuki. The camera zoomed up to her face and then gradually changed into the lady that's in the title logo. Speculation: Lady in logo = blonde girl?Apparently this scene is in real-time according to Nomura in the group talk.


I underlined the part I found interesting. What do you think?

[Naunen]

Just because an avid fan of recent FF games speculates such does not mean it's gonna be official. (Also, it's Amano Yoshitaka). It's like the E3 2006's trailer where it ends with a light gradually changing into the logo starting with the Prince's right eye. What can be said about that?

Cross your fingers with me Naunen.

[ArxTheHero]

The heroine could possibly betray the prince at some point. I just want to see her die. Although I wouldn't be surprised*sigh* maybe XIII will have an unexpected death.

[Naunen]

Cross your fingers with me Naunen.

----As long as I don't think on it too much, I ain't gonna throw a fit about it. It could just be my distaste of female characters.

[Terros]

I don't have a problem with female characters, she just doesn't strike me as being anyone special, or even that memorble.

[moogie]

nomura mentioned that there will likely no love realationship in the story.

[Naunen]

^ This isn't a Romance in FFVsXIII thread. http://www.finalfantasy-xiii.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4728

It looks like Stella's been confirmed as the heroine of Versus XIII. For a while now.
