Jump Festa 2008 - Part 1
Sorry that I didn't update my cellphone diary again after making that one update. The network connection was pretty bad I had a hard time submitting my entries (and when I got back, I just realized 3 copies of the same entry got through OTL) so I just gave up after that. Went to Jump Festa with sirchuc and it was fun having him around because lining up doesn't feel that boring at all when I have someone to chat with! And we were complete geeky gamers. ("OMG SQUARE ENIX BOOTH" "OMG NINTENDO BOOTH" "OMG ROXAS" "OMG SMASH BROTHERS") It was very nice of him to let me go to all the places I wanna go to first so thanks a lot, Chuc. ._.
I was able to watch the Closed Mega Theatre twice this time! (Kanae-san from FF & KH Onlineinfo was able to enter four times, even) SE still gave out tickets for CMT-viewing but they handled it in a way better manner this time (more seats, more ways of letting people in) so it wasn't that hard to watch this time, so thank you for learning your lesson from last time, SE!! But people who got to the event from noon onwards are the unlucky ones who didn't get to view the CMT I guess, because they ran out of tickets by then.
相変わらずうろ覚えでキャラデザを描いてみました。
2秒しか出なかったキャラを完璧に描くことができませんので、そこをなんとかご了承をお願いします。
I drew the characters as usual but there's no way in hell I can draw a full character design perfectly out of sheer memory so please try to understand that before commenting.
And I'm sorry that I don't have Nomura's art style. OTL I just draw with whatever way I'm comfortable with or you all would end up getting uglier drawings if I forced myself to change art styles.
Either way, CMT review as usual.
Final Fantasy XIII
Completely new BGM for the whole trailer. It's a slow peaceful string-centric orchestral piece that turned quite loud? dramatic? around the middle of the trailer.
FF&KH ONLiNFO tried to note the 'keywords' that showed up in the trailer but they couldn't remember most of it and so did I so I'll leave that part out. I won't be writing down stuff that were already in public trailers.
- Coming to 'Lightning's rescue', Mr. 33cm rode Shivike (Shiva+bike) through a path made out of ice. This was already in the TGS 2007 trailer but thought I would mention this because people thought Shiva changed elements from ice to water or something >_>;;
- And yes, IFRIT WAS IN THE FF13 TRAILER. He showed up for a split second right after Shiva and his brief appearance was sandwiched between the Lightning-Mr.33CM-Shivike town rampage scene so it's easily missed if you blinked. (so I shall use that as an excuse for why I never noticed it in Day 1 OTL)
An observation by Chuc was that besides the laser gun Mr. 33CM first used, he also used a rocket launcher in one scene and it seemed very likely he stole it from one of the enemy soldiers.
- A very pale-skinned lady (summon?) in a white flowy dress and feathery hair played a huge harp on a watery surface. She had a very sweet smile. (I can't remember the actual length of her hair though)
(I don't think she was playing in a dark place but I just put a darker background so that it's easier for you to see the light colours)
Third look at the trailer, I realized she looked more like this. I still can't remember most of how her hair was but this closer than the previous drawing.
- In a dark space, a floating object spewed out a bunch of CD-like discs all over the place and Pigtails Girl picked one. Later you see a small creature with white body but greeny face summoned out of the disc? and the girl smiled at it. (I assume she's the summoner in this game then?) According to other fansites, this creature might be Carbuncle, apparently. I... have no idea how to describe it. XD;; In a way it's supposed to look hamstery cute but I found it ugly. Sorry, FF13 design team. OTLOTLOTL
EDIT: Carbuncle didn't really have a white body but actually clothes with white frills.
Not sure what else is worth mentioning, besides they showed more of somethings that looked similar to this?
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
... I feel bad for Veruko on how the guy:girl ratio in this game is now 20:1. XDDDDDD (20 because you would need to count in the mafia-like group ya know?) (YOU JUST KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH NOMURA AFTER LOOKING AT ORGANIZATION XIII AND THE CHARACTERS IN VERSUS XIII DANGIT XDDD;; B-but I still love you and will always be biased to you, Nomura!) Anyway, I can't remember things in order so the order I'm mentioning this is probably as random as it can get.
- I don't get why people (even Famitsu) reported that the Prince smiled in the new trailer because I definitely paid more attention to him this time and he didn't smile at all. Expression-less as usual to his friends, yeah, but no grin. Darn, and I thought I really missed a smile. :( At least you don't see him being annoyed or angry at his friends either, even after being headlocked by Shotgun Guy. (I think all us reporters just keep seeing the wrong thing =_=;;)
- I paid a bit more attention to the Italian? Latin? keywords that flashed throughout the trailer. I have no knowledge in those languages so you shouldn't trust my words on this but some words' spellings were quite similar to English. So from what I gathered, there was the text that looked like "the organization of destruction" that flashed before they showed the mafia-like organization while a keyword that looked like "fugitive" flashed before Shotgun Guy (the keyword was "fuggitivo" or something like that). I'm so sorry if this end up being wrong assumptions but at least that was what it looked like to me. OTL
- Two more male characters joined in: Scarface Guy and Glasses Guy.
(lol don't mind the dialogue, Chuc doodled that into my sketch XDDD I can't really confirmed their colours but they pretty much have dark hair and wear black clothes/suits)
Scarface Guy showed up and gave Shotgun Guy a headlock after Shotgun Guy gave the Prince a headlock (but not right after, the Prince wasn't nearby when Shotgun got bullied). Glasses Guy was behind, looking away (from how I see it, it was as if he was thinking "Geez, how childish can you guys get?" heh) Scarface Guy kinda looked like FFXII Basch but maybe a bit younger, like in his late 20's. I noticed he wore a chain necklace with a silver accesory attached to it; I wasn't sure if it was a cross or something Y-shaped.
A bit more on Glasses' clothes. And according to Kanae-san, Scarface's silver accessory actually looked different so I'll try to fix his design someday. Actually, I think I should make full-body sketches for everything we've gathered of all the new characters so far...
- If you remember how the previous trailer had a black car driving through a desert-like plain, we now know that car's driver was actually Glasses Guy! The Prince was sitting behind him and he grabbed the front seat, saying something to Glasses Guy with a serious face. Glasses Guy turned his face to the Prince to reply. Then Shotgun Guy (IIRC) who was sitting next to Glasses Guy joined in the conversation? And I saw Scarface Guy sitting next to the Prince.
- Hmm, I must have mixed up a couple of scenes. The scene of the car in the desert plain only had the Prince and Shotgun in it. Glasses Guy was shown driving in a different scene, where their car seemed to be chased and you could see that Glasses was quite pressed on the situation. Shotgun said (next to Glasses) said something to Glasses, probably something like "Can't you go any faster!?" and Glasses probably replied "I'm going as fast as I can!" and turned to the Prince who's sitting behind him, while Scarface Guy (sitting next to the Prince) kept looking out of the back window.
- The four guys stood on a building's rooftop, staring away at a different black building that seems to have twin towers, looming far away from them. The Prince look determined then turned around and walked away. The others followed suit.
- Robed person scene doesn't look much different but I noticed that his(?) hair style changed a bit?
It looked shorter and 'spikier' than when I first saw him in the previous trailers...
- Nothing new at all with the scenes involving Veruko (the heroine).
So now I present drawings by Chuc!! :D Most of them maybe nothing new but unlike me, he actually drew some of the items in the trailers (like Shotgun Guy's shotgun for once! Although he may drew it out of blurry memory) so hope it would be a bit of help in a way.
(if you're confused with the different hair styles, just thought I would point out my depictions of them is more accurate)
More sketches by Chuc!
Shotgun Guy's shotgun.
As for my own thoughts on the Versus 13 trailers, I am starting to see that Nomura's character designs for the game are bit on the simpler side. I would complain here but he did say the designs are temporary and will change next year so I'll leave my case on this. But really, what's with the male orgy with only one girl in the cast so far? Are you gay, Nomura? I mean, I know you said you like to draw guys more than girls before but isn't this a bit too far-fetched? Are you gay, Nomura? Or will you be focusing on male friendship again like you've been doing with KH? Pfft, 'male friendship' indeed. Are you gay, Nomura? Yeah, well, don't go crying in your bed if you see the FFV13 section of Natsukomi 2009 is full of yaoi doujinshis.
It's kinda funny how I can see these four guys getting together on a Saturday night, watching soccer. Scar-eyed and Shotgun would be the ones screaming goal while the Prince and Glasses would be the ones sitting and calmly talking about the game. I bet Scar-eyed and Shotgun don't support the same teams so if Shotgun's team wins, Scar-eyed would throw chips at him and they would get into a fight and OKAY OKAY I'M GOING TOO FAR WITH MY IMAGINATION
THE PRINCE IS STILL THE SHORTEST OF THEM ALL HAHAHAHHAHAH (総受け決定!!）(いや冗談ですからまじめに突っ込まないでくださいww)
I don't get what's with people on the net freaking out over Ifrit, though. There wasn't any Ifrit. Unless you all are talking about Dissidia?
Dissidia: Final Fantasy
TIDUS!!!!
SQUALL!!!!!!
DANGIT EVERYONE LOOKS SO DAMN COOL IN THIS GAME ;;__;; The witch lady from FF8 also showed up and you can see her fighting Squall. In a cutscene, they showed her stopping time before fighting with Squall so I guess this might be one of her power in battle?
Not sure what else to comment, I'm not that well detailed on FF-verse.
Oh right, on Dissidia, Frioniel (Firion) is voiced by GreenRiver Light Midorikawa Hikaru. I SWEAR IT WAS HIM, CAN NEVER MISTAKE HIS VOICE. If I could detect Ishida Akira voicing Zexion before the KH2FM+ trailer got released to the public, then I shouldn't be wrong on this.
The playable demo was very fun!! It felt a lot different and more interactive than just pure button-mashing compared to the other fighting games I've played before (note: Maiki doesn't normally play fighting games in the first place) and the fact that you have a huuuuge dimension to play in and even allowed to run up pillars/walls and jump through a very far distance to get to your opponent was very fun.
In order to deal HP damage (by square button), you need to steal your opponent's Brave (Points?) first (by O button) and the amount of Brave you have accumulated will be the amount of HP damage you'll give to your opponent once you start attacking them with the square button. If all of your opponent's Brave got stolen away, they'll get into Break mode where they'll be a lot more vulnerable than usual and you'll receive bonus Brave for extra damage onto your opponents.
Then there were EX Force and EX Cores, which are these small floating light balls thingy that fill up your EX Gauge everytime you collect them, and once hte Gauge is full, pressing both square and X will put you into EX Mode. Once you get an O-attack combo onto your opponent, a square icon will show up and pressing square will unleash EX Burst, which is a special attack that deals heavy damage onto your opponent.
Add that with the awesome graphics and pretty visual effects by Square Enix, the experience was a blast. OTL If you're wondering, I used Squall on Normal Mode and I liked how he could do both long-range (gun) and short-range (sword) attacks. I learned the controls quite fast and got into the battle's pace quite easily so I finished one whole round (Zidane->Warrior of Light->Frioniel->Kuja) as Squall way before time was up for my session. The demo staff said I could try out another character until time's up so I happily went for Zidane and decided to try out Hard Mode.
...Only to get my ass pwned by Squall within a couple of minutes of the very first battle. OTL And then time was up.
But overall I enjoyed the demo a lot so I'm definitely keeping my eyes out on Dissidia from now on. :3
Kingdom Hearts: Coded
I thought the game's gameplay would be pretty bad but they introduced about 2 more different gameplay styles/stages and they looked fun as a mobile phone game (I liked the sideview attacking stage).
Story-wise, they showed Riku standing at the clock tower in Peter Pan's world and he tried to 'grab' the moon, doing angsty stuff like that. Then he turned around to show zombie!Kairi sitting on the floor, being high staring away at nothing. (Just remember that this are all KH1 stuff being shown) Actually, I wouldn't give a damn over this game if it wasn't because V-Jump actually said there will be more adventures between Mickey and Riku and I'm a sucker for these two dangit. Not like I'll ever change cellphones, anyway.
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep
SKIPPING THESE REPORTS FOR AWHILE, SORRY. I have nothing new to say about it on my own so I'll just translate Kanae-san's report later because, um, *cough*I'm not quite fond of the translation on the other KH fansites*cough*.
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days Playable Demo
ROXAS. I WAS SQUEALING FOR ROXAS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE TIME LINING UP FOR IT. Chuc laughed at me.
I MISSED YOU SAIX. ;_; I NEVER NOTICED HOW MUCH I'VE MISSED YOU UNTIL I ACTUALLY HEAR YOUR VOICE IN THE DEMO. OH SAIX, I MISSED YOU. OTL
Having KH's controls tweeked to fit the DS was a bit confusing... It's like CoM without the cards but still involved hammering both L+R buttons at the same time. XD;; And my goodness, either it's just the game or I just had no perception of 3D depth in this game but I had trouble making Roxas' attacks hit my target. XD;; I was only able to try out single-player mode... I wonder if anyone can make a report of multiplayer mode. ._. I'm quite curious over Xigbar and Saix's controls... THE VISUAL EFFECTS FOR ROXAS' HITS WERE SO DAMN CUTE THOUGH!! XD
I liked how Axel and Roxas were about to get attacked by a bunch of Heartless and Axel was ready to kick some butts but the 14th Org member destroyed the Heartless first and Axel was like giving her that "... Bitch" stare, ya know. Jealous much? XDDD Roxas does seem to be very interested in her...
FF13, FFVS13 and Dissidia so far. Will update again in a bit. I might compare my report with others' and edit it to add up details later.
EDIT: Some KH reports added in but I'll be more in-depth later.
EDIT2: Currently updating the report with Day 2 stuff. New stuff are in blue.
I was able to watch the Closed Mega Theatre twice this time!
