And now FF13 and all its games are heading to steam, now we get to see the game run in a beautiful 60 frames per second with full AA. Say what you want about 13 but the game is still gorgeous. GG
"yeah, well they didn't tell me but as soon as i hear i'll let you know" i got pissed when that guy said that but when the columns rose around him and created the release date i was like holy shit thats sweet
Wow. After reading the comments that was posted years ago. I can tell that loads of people were so hyped and excited for the game..... I hope Final Fantasy XV gets a trailer with quality like this.
The first time I watched this I just couldn't believe it, when he said he didn't know the launch date I knew the pillars would show it I got the chills and stuff all those years waiting for this game. Only 3 weeks to go now
Square have already said there will be no need to install the game since they tackled loading issues early, no one in Japan has had to install it either. I do have both systems and download discs to my 360 anyway so it doesn't overheat or run the risk of scratching. Waiting 10 minutes for a game to install isn't a price to pay at all if it means preventing those problems plus preventing that jet engine noise filling the house.
Watching this in 2024 just to be hyped in 4:30. The host bides goodbye; the camera zooms out; the pillars rumble; the music swells; and then the secret message appears!
@OldSkoolAngel He said "unparallel story telling". I think you'd have to be daft to dispute that FFXIII has one of the best story lines of any games with their 15 minute HD cut scenes -_-
what i really like about final fantasy is those cool characters and those cool weapons and those cool arts of fighting in range and close quarter and those story line and oh well think I like it all.
This game looks incredibly good. however, i remember in 12, it was sometimes difficult to see the entire monster(big monsters) due to the camera angles. there were a couple scenes in this footage with the same kind of thing. it's not that big of a deal, but i just hope it doesn't hinder the gorgeous visuals this game has to offer.
@hmoobdaj i heard this would be the first final fantasy which nobou uematsu wouldn't be involved in as the music composer.., thus i think the feel of the music wouldn't be the same as previous installments. First FF for both PS3 & 360.
i'm glad to hear nobou uetmasu would still compose the theme for the FFXIII although he gave up the position of main composer to some else, i found out that he's going to be involve more in the musical score of FFXIV.
At 4:04! Where Hope blast that uber thunder! What an impact! Is that just a thunder? or a thundaga? Man, Im sooooo buying this game right away when an english release is available.
i have a feeling its march cuz they said it was done already, and i went to the gamestop website, which also has 3,9,2010, and they write theres dd,mm,yy
Uematsu didn't do FFXII music either, only the theme song. The rest of the game was lead by the guy who did FFTactics music, his name is escaping me though
final fantasy's love stories are so deep tho especially once you grow attached to the characters. remember after 10 at the end when tidus had to leave. SO freaking epic. Love stories are just so much more powerful and make you say wow after it's all over. i could care less tho...IT'S FINAL FANTASY!!!
this game is awsome great great back stories for the charecters sadly the side do get old but the battel sytem is the best out of all the final fantasys and it shows how each charecter has a connectino to each other i would give this game a 4 out of 5
He is still part of it, he's made some chords already. The only reason why Nobuo doesn't appear anymore is cause he left Square-Enix as a PAID EMPLOYEE and went solo, so he occasionly works at SE whenever a new games are being made.
no um sorry I wasn't clear enough.... I meant um what is the rating as in E E10 and T and M. Sorry I don't mean to sound rude or anything but thanks for the other rating!! That must be a really great game. I'm saving up for a PS3 and was just wondering what the rating was for the game. I have it on hold. :) Thank you so much :)
@pk511 Yea from other countries with Gunpowder ... P.S. Im not saying its a bad invention, quite the opposite, but you gota admit, that one did bring about a lot of damage. P.P.S. A lot of those like Astrology did not start in China. (Ancient Egypt i believe). Others like the compass were build for a completely different use, and with barely any similarities to what a compass actually does.
Hopefully this is the real release date because the anticipation is really big due to the time we have been waiting and i believe this is coming in march with super street fighter IV
Alright so this release of Final Fantasy in japan is gonna anwser two good questions. 1. how long is the game!? 2 is it gonna come with final fantasy verses as well like its suppose to. i really think this is gonna be a disapointment on how long the game is and i also dont believe verses is coming out. so i guess the threw that out just like the final fantasy that was suppose to come out for ps2
holy fucking shit 3/9/10? that's the day after my birthday....BUT IN JAPAN!!! this frustrates me, probably in June in the US or something, but i'm wondering. what's the difference between the PS3 and 360 versions? is there different DLC or something because i have both and i'm not sure which to get it for.
@andrewman12 360 version is going to be 4 discs long and (obviously) better graphics on the PS3. I think the game will be at least 50 hours of gameplay. You have more freedom with the battle system but you can only use 1 character at a time.
Standing at Death's door When the mourners Walking in the street!! Yes Remember Him while you are young Before the Pitch is Broken,and the Cistern is Broken and all going back to ashes!! And the spirit back to him were it Belong!!
Before some people start bashing Leona Lewis, why don't you listen to the song beforehand? It's actually not that bad, from what I've heard it fits the game well, so don't go bashing it before you've heard it, and if you've heard it and don't like it, then sucks for you :P but at least give it a chance.
Is it just me or does Vanille look like she was modeled after Emily Browning. If anyone knows who she is officially modeled after please let me know cause right now I see a strike resemblance between Emily and Vanille in some of the pics I have seen.
um terralewillis and ShadowDeus i think it is important to mention that it really shouldn't matter what console it is on it is still going to be final fantasy 13 no matter what console it is on. I have to get it for the xbox because i don't have a PS3 but even if i did have both consoles i wouldn't care what poelple's opion of graphics were i would just want the game because it looks like it will be good no matter what.
@Clownbelt really? i didnt know that. well that solves that problem. im positive it will be great. but i just got this feeling they but all this work into making these amazing graphics and cut scenes and gameplay and that maybe the story wont be as lengthy as i would like. i want it to be a 80hour game. if they do that, it will be an amazing game
@pk511 For instance the first light bulb was invented by the German Heinrich Göbel, Edison Invented a light bulb as well some time later, te first steam Engine was inventet by the French doctor Denis Papin, James Watt just further develop his invention, and many things that are considered to by typical Chinese aren't Chinese at all fortune cookies (invention of an American businessman) and spring rolls are from Indonesia. Common knowledge isn't always right. Nevethelss you know quite a lot.
@Kronos25555 (your comment is very old, I know) I'm a fan of FF but have never played XIII, but from what I've heard it's extremely linear. As in, you can't walk around the overworld freely or talk to NPCs, which really takes away from the feel of exploration and a huge world. But I won't judge.
@silvionne1 Even at the start Hope is your only source to -Ra offensive spells and decent Chaining xDD Hope is NEVER useless. And by the time he is more noticeably outclased in the HP department (because that's his only weakness) you have acces to Armlets, Vigor, Aurora Scarf and (maybe) Sprint Shoes so he just nukes everything with -Ga tier magic at the start of the battle xD
dont listen to haters, they are just old fanboys who are unwilling to try something new, this game may be different from other final fantasys considering how streamlined it is, but it is still an amazing game, the graphics music and just overall quality is just way above and beyond, i PLayed final fantasy 7, i played 1,2,5,8, and 11 and this is still an amazing game, if your considering buying it then you wont regret it, i have played alot of final fantasys and this is a good one IMO. =)
It's interesting to watch this video in heinsight. They've used footage from the last 3rd of the game. In the open plains, riding Chocobo. Looks very free and vast. A little misleading considering the majority of the final product. I thoroughtly enjoyed FFXIII reguardless of hype. It's solid, great fun and worthy of the FF name.
Oh god, we don't care about some nameless artist Mr. Yamamoto. Just give us Uematsu! That pink haired girl (Vanille i think) really reminds me of a character from Gundam 00.
the main theme hardly ever is by nobuo its usually a band or solo artist performing it although I fear they are trying to aim for complete mainstream audiences with the new one :(
I have played lots of FF games, this ties for me with FF10 & 12, asll 3 are very good games. Im looking forward to 13-3, expected announcement at anniversary celebration.
And now FF13 and all its games are heading to steam, now we get to see the game run in a beautiful 60 frames per second with full AA. Say what you want about 13 but the game is still gorgeous. GG
Yeah, I've already pre-ordered it on Steam. Can't wait to play this game with it's full beauty as it should be.
That has got to be the best way to announce a release date!!!
"yeah, well they didn't tell me but as soon as i hear i'll let you know"
i got pissed when that guy said that but when the columns rose around him and created the release date i was like holy shit thats sweet
Wow. After reading the comments that was posted years ago. I can tell that loads of people were so hyped and excited for the game..... I hope Final Fantasy XV gets a trailer with quality like this.
@ flyingflip the paragims are
Commando - Attacker
Ravager - Blaster
Synergist - Enhancer
Sentinel - Defender
Medic - Healer
Saboteur - Jammer
And now the moment the universe was created for
The first time I watched this I just couldn't believe it, when he said he didn't know the launch date I knew the pillars would show it I got the chills and stuff all those years waiting for this game. Only 3 weeks to go now
I have been looking for this video for years. It's so ridiculous lol.
@Tyrrsh They were just showing the main numbered installments. Why do you think crystal chronicles or the other spin-offs weren't shown?
Square have already said there will be no need to install the game since they tackled loading issues early, no one in Japan has had to install it either. I do have both systems and download discs to my 360 anyway so it doesn't overheat or run the risk of scratching. Waiting 10 minutes for a game to install isn't a price to pay at all if it means preventing those problems plus preventing that jet engine noise filling the house.
I am currently on my 5th playthrough of the game. I LOVE IT. I cannot wait for XIII-2.
is it in march or in august? hate that the dateformat isnt a standard..
@Solidosrich
You dont move the your character in battle and the camera is always adjusted so you should be able to see every big monster lol.
Watching this in 2024 just to be hyped in 4:30.
The host bides goodbye; the camera zooms out; the pillars rumble; the music swells; and then the secret message appears!

time to pre-order?
Wait, European release counts for UK as well, yes?
May seem obvious but UK often has it's own date...
Heads up?
yes at 4:14 it shows lightning ridding a chocobo
At 4:04! Where Hope blast that uber thunder! What an impact! Is that just a thunder? or a thundaga?
Man, Im sooooo buying this game right away when an english release is available.
those battle stage at the end looks like 'the calm land' on final fantasy X
A convincing formula.
It also applies to the older titles. 6 was concidered groundbreaking at the time.
6+3=9
FF9 was also amazing.
Fascinating.
How nostalgic
are the models they used i the prerendered cutscenes the same ones in-game? I mean the ps3 is that powerful, right?
The short gameplay clip they showed at the end looked a lot like the Calm Lands from FFX
the boss battle music in this game is amazing
are you sure? cause it better, but do you know if there will be any differences between the two versions?
i have a feeling its march cuz they said it was done already, and i went to the gamestop website, which also has 3,9,2010, and they write theres dd,mm,yy
Well, we have been waiting for this for about 4 or 5 years, so it was about time.
@Darkangelmmortalwin so.? football finals are never the last ever football matches are they?
Uematsu didn't do FFXII music either, only the theme song. The rest of the game was lead by the guy who did FFTactics music, his name is escaping me though
last comment from two years ago? no one is nostalgic yet? hahaha
final fantasy's love stories are so deep tho especially once you grow attached to the characters. remember after 10 at the end when tidus had to leave. SO freaking epic. Love stories are just so much more powerful and make you say wow after it's all over. i could care less tho...IT'S FINAL FANTASY!!!
this game is awsome great great back stories for the charecters sadly the side do get old but the battel sytem is the best out of all the final fantasys and it shows how each charecter has a connectino to each other i would give this game a 4 out of 5
are you saying you cant have a ps3 because his game is coming out for it?
its also coming for the 360
He is still part of it, he's made some chords already.
The only reason why Nobuo doesn't appear anymore is cause he left Square-Enix as a PAID EMPLOYEE and went solo, so he occasionly works at SE whenever a new games are being made.
no um sorry I wasn't clear enough.... I meant um what is the rating as in E E10 and T and M. Sorry I don't mean to sound rude or anything but thanks for the other rating!! That must be a really great game.
I'm saving up for a PS3 and was just wondering what the rating was for the game. I have it on hold. :)
Thank you so much :)
@pk511 Yea from other countries with Gunpowder ...
P.S. Im not saying its a bad invention, quite the opposite, but you gota admit, that one did bring about a lot of damage.
P.P.S. A lot of those like Astrology did not start in China. (Ancient Egypt i believe). Others like the compass were build for a completely different use, and with barely any similarities to what a compass actually does.

Alright so this release of Final Fantasy in japan is gonna anwser two good questions. 1. how long is the game!?
2 is it gonna come with final fantasy verses as well like its suppose to.
i really think this is gonna be a disapointment on how long the game is and i also dont believe verses is coming out. so i guess the threw that out just like the final fantasy that was suppose to come out for ps2
I'm not sure, he could be busy with KH3 but I would want that as well.
holy fucking shit 3/9/10? that's the day after my birthday....BUT IN JAPAN!!! this frustrates me, probably in June in the US or something, but i'm wondering. what's the difference between the PS3 and 360 versions? is there different DLC or something because i have both and i'm not sure which to get it for.
oh the annoyances of the paradigm shift in artonelico how you haunt me with your memories
I think it's supposed to be on the 360 as well
so is that in british or american date, is it the 3rd of september, or the 9th of march?
2021 And steel my favorite episode.
@andrewman12
360 version is going to be 4 discs long and (obviously) better graphics on the PS3. I think the game will be at least 50 hours of gameplay. You have more freedom with the battle system but you can only use 1 character at a time.
Why are people confused about the date? Its march 9th 2009 people
Is that march 3rd or september 9th? because im english and americans change their dates around.
the potential was there with all the graphic and setting but the story was really easy to go through.
I think 7 was the best one iv'e played. I cried so much that I got a really bad headache when Zack died. Thinking about makes me want want to cry now.
Where can I get those badass pillars for my room?
What's the name of the OST right at the end of the video?
Standing at Death's door When the mourners Walking in the street!!
Yes Remember Him while you are young
Before the Pitch is Broken,and the Cistern is Broken and all going back to ashes!!
And the spirit back to him were it Belong!!
Before some people start bashing Leona Lewis, why don't you listen to the song beforehand? It's actually not that bad, from what I've heard it fits the game well, so don't go bashing it before you've heard it, and if you've heard it and don't like it, then sucks for you :P but at least give it a chance.
@PaperMs oh just avoid fights, you don't get any experience and leveling and stuff until chapter 3 so just avoid fights.
does anyone know the song played at end. thnx
can't wait 4 da game =D
I hate it when they don't write full months.
Is that date format DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY?
Is it just me or does Vanille look like she was modeled after Emily Browning. If anyone knows who she is officially modeled after please let me know cause right now I see a strike resemblance between Emily and Vanille in some of the pics I have seen.
that was a damn good vid.
the FF serries has always had behemoth production values, but finally the cutsceens match the gameplay!
um terralewillis and ShadowDeus i think it is important to mention that it really shouldn't matter what console it is on it is still going to be final fantasy 13 no matter what console it is on.
I have to get it for the xbox because i don't have a PS3 but even if i did have both consoles i wouldn't care what poelple's opion of graphics were i would just want the game because it looks like it will be good no matter what.
Just took a look at IGN's site and its March 9th 2010
Lmaooooo 2020 anyone?!
@Clownbelt really? i didnt know that. well that solves that problem. im positive it will be great. but i just got this feeling they but all this work into making these amazing graphics and cut scenes and gameplay and that maybe the story wont be as lengthy as i would like. i want it to be a 80hour game. if they do that, it will be an amazing game
Who is this guy presenting the trailer? The voice actor for Snow perhaps?
@pk511 For instance the first light bulb was invented by the German Heinrich Göbel, Edison Invented a light bulb as well some time later, te first steam Engine was inventet by the French doctor Denis Papin, James Watt just further develop his invention,
and many things that are considered to by typical Chinese aren't Chinese at all fortune cookies (invention of an American businessman) and spring rolls are from Indonesia.
Common knowledge isn't always right. Nevethelss you know quite a lot.
Is it the 9th of march or the 3rd of september?
this game looks so amazing man this is a must get and this is why im gonna get a ps3 for christmas rather then a ps2 which i will get later
I would never expect an announcement like this for FFXIII.
They didn't mention Sazh or Fang in this...
@Kronos25555
(your comment is very old, I know)
I'm a fan of FF but have never played XIII, but from what I've heard it's extremely linear. As in, you can't walk around the overworld freely or talk to NPCs, which really takes away from the feel of exploration and a huge world.
But I won't judge.
Awesome, two days before my birthday.
theres one in this video at the end of the new footage
3:12 Is she one of the characters?
No silly, its set out it D/M/Y not M/D/Y, 9th of march is when its coming :D closer than you thought!
When I saw that date my skin literally crawled. I can't wait to own a copy! :)
no release date is march 9, 2010 which would be 3.9.2010
@silvionne1 Even at the start Hope is your only source to -Ra offensive spells and decent Chaining xDD Hope is NEVER useless. And by the time he is more noticeably outclased in the HP department (because that's his only weakness) you have acces to Armlets, Vigor, Aurora Scarf and (maybe) Sprint Shoes so he just nukes everything with -Ga tier magic at the start of the battle xD
@damierrumble its already pain in ass i can't get paste the first chapter :(
dont listen to haters, they are just old fanboys who are unwilling to try something new, this game may be different from other final fantasys considering how streamlined it is, but it is still an amazing game, the graphics music and just overall quality is just way above and beyond, i PLayed final fantasy 7, i played 1,2,5,8, and 11 and this is still an amazing game, if your considering buying it then you wont regret it, i have played alot of final fantasys and this is a good one IMO. =)
@PaperMs congrats i hope u enjoy it as much as i did =), the game gets hard past chapter 11, if you have any questions u can message me =)
It's interesting to watch this video in heinsight. They've used footage from the last 3rd of the game. In the open plains, riding Chocobo. Looks very free and vast. A little misleading considering the majority of the final product.
I thoroughtly enjoyed FFXIII reguardless of hype. It's solid, great fun and worthy of the FF name.
cant wait for the release date to come out
This game is the pinnacle of creativity, just look at those names.
Oh god, we don't care about some nameless artist Mr. Yamamoto. Just give us Uematsu!
That pink haired girl (Vanille i think) really reminds me of a character from Gundam 00.
Where's our remaster SQUARE!?
Final Fantasy will always live up to its expectations.
OMG this is the second time i've seen this. did you not pay attention?!?! it's march 9th
so is that march, or september????
Is it march 9th or September 3rd?
the main theme hardly ever is by nobuo
its usually a band or solo artist performing it
although I fear they are trying to aim for complete mainstream audiences with the new one :(
I have played lots of FF games, this ties for me with FF10 & 12, asll 3 are very good games. Im looking forward to 13-3, expected announcement at anniversary celebration.
I normally hate Final Fantasy, but this new battle system sounds great so I might give it a shot :-)
the more i see of this game, the more i think versus looks so much better. the theme song is better, it doesn't look completely ridiculous.
so, does anyone know who the guy in the video is?
man this is the best trick ever! my hearth stooped in the last 30 seconds
is that 3 september or american 9th march
