Default Dark and sad

Someone said (joking) that Versus will be so sad and dark you would cry a week after finishing it Wonder what will make it so sad - kill the main charackter in the end or something worse...

We have dicussed that this could be a much darker game then any other FF, but I cant see any hint that it will be sad.

But we can't say that the main caracter dies and it's sad. Its not sad befor we have played with him for hours and heard his story, loved ones, childhood etc.

Then it's sad if he dies.

But as I said, this would be a darker game, maby more brutal and direct one too.

Dark and Sad(well also change) seems to be the big draw of Mistwalker's Lost Odyssey as well.

But on topic, the main person dieing wouldn't be as sad as say a character losing all of their stats and abilities that you worked so hard on. If a moment like that was in the game I would be sad.

You're a cruel human! I treat my FF characters as semi-living people and not as a bunch of stats. While some people are writing detailed FAQ how to beat this and this boss with these skill and armours and suggests that you must be at "this" lvl, I bash may way past them

I can never delete a RPG game save even if I lost my CD. I protect all my memorysticks in a box even if i know i will never take them up again. Couse inside those are my namaka

Ok I'm not such a freak, but i like to keep the old saves. And if it's a part of the game where you lose everything, it's ok. Couse it's a part of the story. I get much more angry then sad when I have a damaged savefile and have to restart from scratch. (memo to myself, always backup)

I'm sorta with both of you If i lost my saves i'd be like "NOOOOOOOOOOOO THEY DIED!" then the slow realisation of reality would come back to me and then "NOOOOOOOOOOO THE PAST 49 HOURS WORK!"

Anyway back on topic. Techniquly Every single FF (I've played anyway ) has had a sad story and if we're suggesting the main character dying at the end FFX does come to mind. I think i heard someone say the "cry for a week" thing too though. I dare to think what could cause that.

Yes Desi i totally understand. Like if they became handicap and lost their legs. All that work and time bonding to have them near useless. Even worst it has the character sink in a form of depression that you can but only feel sorry for.

Wow... quoting yourself for the sake of conversation... xD

Anyways all Final Fantasies have deep, dark stories that really get you involved and force you to develop a relationship with the characters. That relationship often effects how much you enjoy the game. I think that with Versus there are just going to be much more plot changes and an actual dark heir about the game itself.

First of all, we need a hash beginning. More violent then ever. Something like the childhood to sasuke in naruto. (to those who know naruto)

Then we need him see his friends die in an accident, then two years later all his new friends die too.

So he is all alone in this world. (the dark part)

The emotional part would be that after 10-12 years in exile (or in the undreground world) he will meet "someone". Big chance it is his future girlfriend

They said they won't put the main emphasis on romance this time but on frienship instead. But we'll never know...

Where did you read that?

Hmm, reads wikipedia

Quote:
The protagonist, a mysterious young man with dark blue hair and crimson eyes. The last heir to a dynasty ruling the only remaining city in the world to control crystals, he protects his home from marauders that would conquer the city and take the crystals as their own. He wields a number of different weapons, including swords, spears, and lances, and can even induce them (telepathically or otherwise) to move in the air independently of him and form a whirling barrier around himself.
So he is royal blood then. And have a misson to protect crystals

I would have thought it would involve love of some kind like every other game but then again its kind of opposite to the others isnt it.

I'd hate for one of my characters to become handicaped Would feel sorry for them for the rest of the game. Hmmmm wonder if there will be a sort of emotional song for the game too.

Well the saddest, most emotionla scene I ever saw in a Final Fantasy game was the death of Aerith.
And I don't really think there's a way to make a game scene anymore emotional than that.
Aerith was like, the best character ever(after Nanaki of course, if he died I don't knwo what I would do)and Then she just goes and gets herself killed.

Unless there was a function in the game that deleted your game save right after you defeat the final boss o.O

-At the press conference you mentioned that a theme in the project was “pain”, can you explain what that meant?

-Nomura: The current plot is truly very sad. It can be said that pain is from not having any bonds, but it is also the feeling that comes from a tragic story. There will likely not be a love relationship in the story, and it there is it is not what you will imagine. (laughs) You are probably thinking that instead of love it is friendship, but that is not to say there are no female characters. Simply that the main drive of the start is bonds and the pain that accompany them. That is the true nature of pain...

-Kitase: Just now you mentioned that “FFVersusXIII” faces the challenge of being identified with the numbering. It is adventurous isn’t it. It is something that I’ve been wanting to do but has not been possible until now. With a game it is often thought to create a conclusion which can be continued. On the other hand we seldom think of how refreshing it can be to have a climax that will remain concluded.

-Nomura: After the announcement, there were many questions about the dark hero characteristic of the story, but it is not something so cool. It is not the case where the entire story and all the characters are completely dark. The story contains pain, but that is a realistic part of the expression between the characters and the hero as part of friendship. The story tells of companions who spend time together and the happiness they share each day as well as the heavy responsibilities they carry.

-Kitase: Even thought it is a tragedy, there should be some hope somewhere.
