I'm hoping this game is awesome based on how incredibly slow its development cycle has been. What' sgoing on with 13 versus?

Shouldn't Odin's 'Horse Mode' have six legs?

I would also love to know any information on versus 13 I am getting a bit nervous that it may go to the wayside.

I'm beginning to worry that Square might be giving away "too much" information even before the game's out...

I'm not worried about too much info, I still have no idea what this game is about other than the fact that it looks like a mish mash of story elements from FF7. Would it kill them to be original.

@Overcast: What mish mashed elements is it using?

Looking amazing as usual, shocked that the pic of her is in-game. Hair detail is crazy.

Finally a game with an epic story is coming.  =)

@10 the evil corporation.. the mysterious protagonist.. the terrorist group..  even the giant robot scorpion!

 the evil corporation- in this games case a world not a company like FFVII

the mysterious protagonist- like in most games ahah

the terrorist group- Far from terrorists like in FFVII where they going around blowing up reactors. In the demo Lightnings mission was to look for the Pulse fal'Cie and her mission is to bring the down fall of an entire world. Unlike FFVII where at the beginning they're just trying to get rid of Shinra and save the planet.

The last ones all yours :D

@13 Not trying to start an argument here, but from a writer's standpoint those modifications are slight.

Evil Inc-Evil Planet

Terrorist Group-Different Type of terrorist group

Cloud-Female Cloud (can't post it here but there is a pic circulating that slowly breaks down and shows that advent children Cloud and Lightning are practically the same drawing)

Trust me those modifications may seem drastic but they really really aren't. It's just an excuse so Square can say it's different while actually being lazy as possible from a writing standpoint.

As a writer I had to write a lot stuff in college and had I written 2 different stories with those same major plot outlines my professors would have torn me apart for it.

@17- We really do't know any of the plot elements, we're all just making assumptions at this point.

I'm not claiming specifics here just general outline. I'm not saying it will be exactly the same with the characters copied and pasted in the FF7 story. I recently downloaded the most recent english trailer on PSN, the one at the end where lightning goes into some mysterious place to ask for help from something the black guy called "that thing". If it's a summon I'm gonna be pissed.

@17

You can rip any game apart by simplyfying/comparing it like you are.

Uncharted 2- Man looking for a treasure, like so many previous games and Uncharted 1.

White knight- Boy wants to save a princess, that hasn't been done countless times has it?

How many games involve fighting of invading aliens in your planet?

How many games needs the world to be saved?

Small things like this dont stop a game from being phenomenal.

Ok dude, but it's far more suspect when it's a game in the same series from a company that loves piggy backing in any way on it's most popular game in that series. I've had numerous people (who aren't writers, two of them below the age of 10) that noticed it before I even said anything. The generalites you are speaking of are far more thematic. It's a bit more obvious when it's the same company feeding it to you over and over again.

kk we can leave it as that :)

Lets just wait for this damn game to release!

By the way 'that thing' at the end of the trailer they're talking about isn't a summon.

No need to get defensive I just pointed out a general plot outline, not looking for a fight dude.

doesnt look like odin of old... although i guess hes never really had a definitive form other than having lightning, i did expect to see some kind of human form for him but well hav to wait and see (sometimes i wish i was japanese)

@29 odin's horse (slipnier or something like that) was mean to have six legs.. while in this it has four and it's a robot... so there's a few differences lol

They are doing somethings different, you can at least say that. I heard Shiva is a motorcycle. I'll need to see that in motion to know if that's cool or not. Sounds cool...
