@DarkEnzanArikado:
Only a concern with the 360 version. The PS3 and blueray should have plenty of space for an extra audio track on a single disc.

Unbelievable visuals, as is per the squeenix norm. Now let's hope that we actually get a storyline this time with more than only a handful of likable characters unlike FF12.

The confirmed Lightning english actor is good(Alison Keith). No matter what you think of 12, it had top notch english acting(Balthier anyone?)

There is no reason to add the japanese acting really, it's just for weeaboos if anything.

It is what everyone wanted in the first place, right? Gender swap fan service, GO! Look what you've done, now I'm all stoked for this game!

Give me a second. *turns on music* That's better. Oh, joyous day! The series seems to be heading in the right direction after 12! Gone are the pretentious storylines, the masturbatory battle system, the....I assume summons that died at the slightest cough. This game is now on my hype list, which consists of.....one game. It's a very short list.

Let's see:  Lost Odyssey. Check. Infinite Undiscovery. Check. The Last Remnant. Check. Still haven't played any of them. Check.

Maybe one day.

I haven't played a FF game since IX. None of the newer versions really interested me. XIII looks a game that I can get into.

I prefer subs myself, but eh. As long as they give the option, I don't give two shits.

However, I completely agree about everything else. This is getting really old. Every time I see "news" about FFXIII... it's just the same footage recycled in some different fashion mixed up with slightly different battle clips.

This trailer didn't really do it for me, Advent Children with a spun off version of FF XII's combat doesn't seem too exciting. This feels like the video game development version of only buying two chrome wheels for an '87 CRX.

...

Eh, it could be alright. I'm over Final Fantasy now but if when it comes out the pulse indicates otherwise I might take a second look. To me there are more compelling and unique games being revealed, Alan Wake and the new Splinter Cell for example.

Whats up with this? This is a really really old trailer? Its definitely not new! Thats not the new battle system, its actually the old battle system that they got rid of in lieu of the newer one, they have an even newer one that has yet to be shown off. Probably tomorrow or wednesday at the SquareEnix press conference.

And they are adding both the english and japanese language tracks to the PS3 version, so you can choose. They said they probably will not add the japanese lang track to the 360 version as it takes up a ton of space and they would rather reduce the amount of discs than please the small amount of fans that prefer it in japanese. But we shall see.

Anyways, not a new trailer, its been out for over a year.

Square should just stop making FF games & put these things out as movies as nobody remembers the gameplay over the hour long cinematics.

As usual nothing makes any sense so I am sure lot's of in-game exposition will be needed.
