Show the game this time rather than another snippet of pre-rendered stuff.

Playable, hopefully.

Playable? Eh.. I dunno. Can’t really see the point of playing a tiny portion of a massive RPG, since the combat systems are usually so deep, there’s no time to really learn, well.. anything. They might as well just show some gameplay footage.

Will be nice to get a bit more solid info about the various spin offs. I’m still not clear on what the three different versions of FFXIII are all about.

Yeah, I’m still interested. I finished FFXII and quite liked it though “the internet” seems to be down on it in general so I don’t how similar FFXIII will be. Then again, they’re throwing so much shit against the wall some of it might stick.

FFXIII looks like a bit of a step backwards from XII, if early reports are anything to go by. I think they might have removed gambits, which would be a massive mistake, if true.
I reckon I’ll enjoy XIII’s story a bit more, though. Supposedly it’s a bit more fantastical, like VII. I didn’t even like XII’s story, and I still loved the game, which just goes to show how good the gameplay was.

Agreed, the gambits worked well. I’m all for letting the computer take care of the grunt work while you get to concentrate on the fun stuff.
If they they bring back ‘combat arenas’ or, god forbid, random battles I certainly won’t be bothering with these games.

Finally some new KH news. It’s been so long. But I thought all of SE’s mobile games was canceled. I see at least three up there.

I hope they’re showing all the other stuff they’re publishing as well.
