I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought they'd gotten their target audience a little mixed-up.

Also, what was up with the never-seen-before footage? "YEAH RANDOM BATTLES WOOO! CHECK OUT THESE FUCKIN' CHOCOBOS!"

Posted by Whiskeyjack - November 13, 2009 at 5:38 PM

Goofy, smug video or not.. damn I'm still stoked.

Are they selling steak knives with FF13?

Posted by ashton - November 13, 2009 at 7:32 PM

The most anticipated gaming experience of all time?!?!?!?

Posted by Red - November 13, 2009 at 8:50 PM

I used to be pretty excited for FF13, and was one of the main reasons I bought a PStriple.
Now it just looks like a bland, incredibly corporate JRPG...with Leona Lewis.

Posted by Branthog - November 13, 2009 at 9:01 PM

I ejected after about eight seconds. I don't care to see some JRPG I'm long tired of being pimped by some used car salesman guy.

Is this video for real or did my dentist slip me acid?

Did John Yamamoto just try to sell me Final Fantasy Sardines?
Sweet, I'm sold

so 3/9/09 America style, or Europe style. Hopefully America style.

Posted by Fei - November 14, 2009 at 3:40 AM

What the hell is this crap. It actually turns me off.

Posted by Asrahn - November 14, 2009 at 4:20 AM

Most anticipated of all time? I guess I'll buy the game out of spite and see for myself if it can truly triumph Final Fantasy 9 then.

Edited by Brunchies - November 14, 2009 at 10:07 AM

Why does a final fantasy game have Leona Lewis making the theme song and is the video taking being filmed in some secret, Japanese military base in the future.

America style in this video. The date on the EU PS blog was 9/3/10 so it's definitely March. But they really shouldn't do numbered dates. Too confusing.

The doucheyness just radiates off this guy.

Posted by Yazleb - November 15, 2009 at 9:11 AM

That marketing dildo, was like Chris Klein from Street Fighter the Legend of Chun-Li.

Seriously go and watch TANG and make the comparison.

Posted by TOYBOXX - November 15, 2009 at 9:51 AM

Leona Lewis is part of the Final Fantasy XIII soundtrack? - ugh! Pop culture does not need to be in a franchise like FF. Look at 50 cents video games. They're a running joke because of the ridiculousness of it all. And to my eyes this is no different. If the gaming industry continues to evolve in this direction, I for one, will stick to playing on the PC for my gaming entertainment even though that platform is a dying breed.

First we have to put up with Hyperbole (which is the only way a game sells these days instead of letting the game sell itself), but now we have to put up with this?

Posted by Sykosis - November 15, 2009 at 10:11 PM

That's Troy Baker, he does voice acting. I'm pretty sure he does someones voice for the game. As for the vid itself it seems like Square spared no expense for this game.

Posted by TheHBK - November 15, 2009 at 11:14 PM

oh god, this makes me hate FF more...

Posted by queenulhu - November 16, 2009 at 12:07 PM

there is something disconcerting about that model actor.... i feel like... he has no idea what he's talking about.

Excuse me, but FF series has had pop songs for several titles now, ever since FFVIII with Faye Wong's "Eyes on Me". And quite frankly, pop songs and video games, just as any other media (except static ones like pictures or books), works well together.

But yeah, FF X-2 wasn't... that good.

Posted by DukeTogo - November 16, 2009 at 3:51 PM

Walk with me through this green screen set while I pretend to know about this washed-up series only douchebags enjoy.

Posted by RabidSquirrel89 - November 16, 2009 at 4:15 PM

Damn. So much hate for the game in these comments. I didn't care for this video much either but damn. Try the game before you start bitching. I've loved every numbered Final Fantasy game, even XI, so I'm going to give Square Enix the benefit of the doubt.

Posted by ahoodedfigure - November 18, 2009 at 11:35 AM

Weird... was this only meant for corporate eyes?

Posted by themartyr - November 19, 2009 at 3:09 PM

I liked the japanese guy doing his best engrish speech. Leona Lewis, Glammy nominated and lich souful singing.

Aww.

I think I got that about right.

I feel sorry for the guy, it would have been much easier for all of us if he had just spoken in Japanese with subtitles.

Haha what a douchebag, those graphics look sick though.

Posted by Landmine - November 23, 2009 at 9:15 PM

Hey it's Kanji, well, the guy who does the voice at least. The graphics look pretty plain, then again.. everything looks plain after playing Uncharted 2, even real life.
