The RPG discussion thread (formerly Final Fantasy XIII)

Its on Page 4 of the General Discussion board and it has 9 pages all togethers .

The redhead tribal girl from FFXIII may be the most adorable Final Fantasy character to date.

And the black guy with the baby chocobo in his fro is absolutely amazing.

After seeing hose demos, Sahz seems to be both cool and the comic relief at the same time. I'm hoping it's pulled off successfully.

And that baby chocobo is made of win.

They keep implying that Sazh will die, because they always say in the beginning of the game when speaking about him.

He better not die ..he looks really cool and I like him

Well, nearly half of the numeric Final Fantasies have a party member who dies, so...

But who knows if XIII will follow with this too.

[ZealKnight]

But then again it's becoming cliche. I wouldn't hope they follow this pattern.

FF1 - no death
FF2 - lots of death
FF3 - no death
FF4 - lots of death
FF5 - Galuf
FF6 - Shadow
FF7 - Arith
FF8 - no death
FF9 - no death
FF10 - Tidus
FF12 - Reks death(he was playable also not a spoiler when it the first five seconds)

[Acacia Sgt]

IV didn't had 'lots of death'. In the end, only Tellah was the one who died for real. But anyway, it doesn't change the fact.

[FouCapitan]

I think the Suikoden series holds the championship when it comes to (possible) party members dying off perminantly.

[V_Translanka]

The Fire Emblem series comes pretty close too though...Though maybe SRPGs shouldn't count because technically there would be an infinite number possible in FFT...

[Acacia Sgt]

Or, only count the ones were the characters are limited and non-generic.

[V_Translanka]

I think the point that was trying to be made is that people die. In video games as much as real life. Though with video games or much fiction in general, you're only getting a slice of these characters' lives so you won't see many dying of old age or w/e eventually happens to them once the credits roll...

Ignore the badly-punned title. So, which of the two console FFXIIIs are you more excited for?
Even though Final Fantasy XIII is the "canon" title in Fabula Nova Crystalis and all, but I don't really see anything new worth getting worked up over. It's seems like to me what Square would do if they made Final Fantasy VII today... which isn't exactly that great an idea to begin with.
Versus XIII, on the other hand, seems like a completely original concept. The battle system is all new, with different configurations for each weapon, and the story seems cool: set in a world not dissimilar to our own. The characters seem a bit more realistic in both personality and looks.

But what do you think? I'm sure a lot of you are interested in these games.
