Man from the trailer...

[Kadaj]

To me, he looks pretty damn cool :P He looks pretty different to the usual FF main character...not metrosexual XD He looks pretty though, the way he is sitting on the throne on that scan makes him seem kind of arogant if you know what i mean?

[Nero_]

Yeah, he does look quite cold. :p I really like his clothes. xD Remind me of Cloud's in AC...turns out the AC team made the trailer for Versus. :rolleyes:

[Xelien_5.0]

Nomura does like to work with that dark hero scheme, i dont mind it though:P . he looks awsome!! i wonder wat type of attacks he'll have..well i hope his name isnt somthing stupid though<_<

[Hextan]

Yeah he's attractive. And I've always hated the pretty boy type that Final Fantasy men sometimes have. I'm glad that Nomura finally went with a tougher looking male character. And also a tougher looking female character for XIII.

[Nero_]

Yeah thats right. No more Tidus'! :D

[Xelien_5.0]

lol i remeber reading somthing that said Nomura wanted to make a more lively disign for tidus than some of his other characters, but im glad he went bak to his old ways

[Hextan]

Yeah thats right. No more Tidus'! :D

Exactly what I was thinking.

[Desi]

Yeah thats right. No more Tidus'! :D
They should bring in Ashley Riot.....

This boy seems a little to young for me to totally like him though. Let him pass his teens and maybe he can be something. Not saying he won't be cool but when I see young I see emo and/or not being up to the task.

[Nero_]

He looks like he's in his 20's to me. :s

[Hextan]

Yeah where do you get young. Furin said he looks in his 20's, which is probably true. And while it's not old, it's not young either. What do you want a thirty-five-year-old to be the main character? And plus I need some eye candy when i'm playing games. Which if you were to look in my video game library you would find games with only attractive main characters. I'm kind of shallow like that... not in real life though.

[Desi]

I mean to me he looks around 15 tops. 20's is really way out there. Just that I look young but I still look older then him.

[Xelien_5.0]

meh, he looks like 18 or 19 he doesnt look 15 to me but im not really good in guessing ages so who knows...

[Desi]

Don't get me wrong, he does some pretty nifty stuff but....

blah you get the point.

[Hextan]

Oh yeah!:dance: we won!:D Just kidding.:lol:

[Mikao]

He looks cold and he looks arrogant however because FFVXIII is supposed to be the dark FF then I think that it should play it well. I personally think he is evil and this is the first SE game where you play on the evil side.

[Enedok]

I guess 16.



He looks cold and he looks arrogant however because FFVXIII is supposed to be the dark FF then I think that it should play it well. I personally think he is evil and this is the first SE game where you play on the evil side.

Well, we have had some thiefs and ninjas joining us then in other FF games. So I think that, yes, he could be the darkest "friendly" FF character yet, but we need to cheer him some way. He got to have some sort of good goal.

[Nero_]

I cant imagine him with other characters. xD HE seems too up himself, you know? :cunning:

[Desi]

Maybe a little posh in there?

[Kitmitsu]

Maybe he could be the arrogant evil (maybe) guy that another person (possibly a girl) shows him the error of his ways :P

That kinda corny stuff always works.

[Mikao]

I always had the thought that because Square Enix had announced this game as being the "darkest" Final Fantasy that that meant that you maybe played as the evil character terrorizing the good. I think this may be SE's first game where you play on the evil side.

[Kisha]

I agree with Mikao to an extent. I'm not sure about the evil side thing, but it could be a possibility and no doubt it'd be cool.

The character himself is my favorite Nomura work. It has all the usual 'stereotypes' of Nomura, but this guy just looks awesome. I like his arrogance (that's been mentioned a couple of times), and he seems like a kind of badass... Clearly he can kick ass because he defended that whole castle single handedly.

Even though his design is still not complete... I hope they keep him similar, because I love the way he looks now... and he'll probably be one of my favorite characters.

[IstvanKovacs]

I like the design of the main character, but I think they could have added a few more years onto him still.
Young main characters are all well and good but I'd like to see them do something really different in this game, and an older, darker main character would be a brilliant addition.

[Desi]

Black clothes are going out of style.

[Hextan]

Black clothes never go out of style. I wear Black everyday. Seriously. Not Gothic though or anything like that.

[Xelien_5.0]

Yah! i wear black all the time too(im wearing black shirt right now^_^) i think black clothing on people like the versus guy is hot, and will nvr go out of style!

although i hope not everybody in the game is wearing black cause it would be too much(like in ff77ac)

[Yin&Yang]

His design isn't completed yet - his clothes might turn red or blue in some time, but it's fine for me right now. I have no idea how old he might be - Kadaj was in his teens (true age unknown) in AC and I had no clue until I red about it...

[unknown+_+]

I guess I better start writing Stuff ^_^
I tink he's cool he'll be one of my favs I lurvs the darkness thing
it roxs I hope they don't change his design tooo muchXD *he looks 16*
The red eyes r sooo cool Like Vincent Valentines i lurvs him to:wub:

[Meia]

I think that the guy looks awesome too lol, he is indeed looking very strong, cold and dark. But he is much more cooler than all the other characters of ff, don't you think too? His blue hair, cut with a thorny style, and just take a peer at how his hair looks from the back of his head. I know that this has nothing to do with this game, but I have to point that they were saying in a magazine, that the girl in ff13 is a female version of cloud; does she really; I think she does actually, she behaves just like cloud, very cold,lonely.. but she is much more determined and not so afraid; I don't know... what do you think?

[Yin&Yang]

She is very similar to Cloud:
(I put the 2 faces together, if you don't get it)
http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k34/H6beliblikas/7i6ii.gif
+ her clothes, hair, personality...almost like cloud with breasts...

[Hextan]

I think I read somewhere that it was his inspiration for her, or someone asked him to make her like that. Not quite sure though.

[Yin&Yang]

He was asked to make her that way:
http://finalfantasy-xiii.net/image.php?image=media/scans/egm/02.jpg
Maybe Nomura took Toriyamas instructions too seriously...

[Enedok]

Fine, its a female Cloud. Is it good or bad?

But I remember him say that he had a hard time creating that caracter. So maby he had no other option :P

[Yin&Yang]

I like her design and I wouldn't have it any other way. A male Cloud clone would be worse...

[Hextan]

She still looks good.

[Maia.]

Hmm, he looks like the average FF lead character age.... 17-19.
I'm really looking forward to FFV13.
The game battling mode excites mee! Hahaha..

Oh yes... this is gonna sound SOOO n00bie.. but. ahem.
The main character slightly remind me of Sasuke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sasuke_Uchiha) from Naruto.

FFV13 Dude = Sasuke
Dark blue hair = Dark blue hair
Eyes go red in battle = Sharingan (http://www.u-blog.net/raigeku31/img/sasuke-sharingan.jpg) [goes red in battle]
Dark past = Dark past
Last heir to throne = Last person of uchiha clan.

Haha... yes.

[Enedok]

FFV13 Dude = Sasuke

Last heir to throne = Last person of uchiha clan.

Haha... yes.

Well, I think Sasukes hair is more black then blue, but I read the manga instead of anime. But your right at the other places.

Its hard to create something really original these days, but if a blond spikeyhair (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naruto_Uzumaki) and a pinkhaired girl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakura_Haruno) comes we should assume someeone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orochimaru_%28Naruto%29) will rape this guy.

[Desi]

Haha... yes.
1. Sasuke's hair is black.
2. true, except without the pinwheels and we don't know if it slows down time(since that is the overclock system in XIII).
3. true
4. Itachi.

you could just put about any male in videogames or anime in the slot and still get 2-3/4.

Like Shin from Tenjou Tenge Manga(anime blows).
1. nope hair is white.
2. eyes go reptile when he touches a Riiki(his family's sword).
3. true, killed parents
4. true, is the only male left in the family. Has two sisters but women don't carrry the family name.

Hehe, lets try.

Berserk, Guts. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserk_%28manga%29)

1. Dark Hair, Yup
2. Blind at one eye, does that count? When he fuse with the amour he get some badass eyes.
3. Fucking EPIC!!Ok, born out of his mother while she was dead hanging in a tree, sold by his adaptive father to get raped, kills his father. His gang gets sacrificed by their leader who they just had saved, leader rapes his girlfriend while he watch it, loses his arm and one eye trying to save her, she lost her mind after that.
4. Only he, girlfriend and Griffith are survivors from Band of the Hawk.

3 of 4

[zorata]

Hey, my first impression of him was Sasuke too. I think it has more to do with the style than the details.

[Kitmitsu]

I guess I'm one of the few people who doesnt think Sasuke when I see him. Not a Naruto fan >_> *prepares for flamage* He's one of the coolest looking characters in Final Fantasy so far for me none the less.

[Desi]

Joachim Armstar

1. Hair white
2. Eyes go red when he wants it too, normally when adrenline pumping.
3. Walter's man slave.
4. Ruler of the Water Vain.

Extra point: Uses several swords which float circles around him or follows in a line like fashion.

"Joachim Armster
1094 - Castlevania: Lament of Innocence

Unlike all of the other playable characters in the Castlevania series, Joachim isn't in any way a good guy, although he is a vaguely tragic character. He was a regular human until Walter turned him into a vampire. Tired of being a servant, he attempted to rebel but got locked in the castle's water vein, where he serves as its ruler. Being the vampire that he is, walking is beneath him - he floats. Joachim controls swords that float around him and fly out to attack enemies, as well as magic powers that build up when bad guys are killed."

hahahaha man slave

[XwingsofaresX]

he's pretty cool...he looks like he can handle anything by himself in any situation...pretty interesting, huh?;)

[Lucrecia]

They should bring in Ashley Riot.....

This boy seems a little to young for me to totally like him though. Let him pass his teens and maybe he can be something. Not saying he won't be cool but when I see young I see emo and/or not being up to the task.

He looked up to the task to me. I've seen images of the second trailer and it looks like he has awesome fighting skills. From what people say (the one who saw the trailer)he can disappear and reappear again while fighting. And he looks like he is in his early twenties or something. I wouldn't exactly say he is a teen.

[Misschoco]

i agree with lucrecia

no way does he look like his in his teens.i would say his around 20-22 but saying he is in his teens is just wrong judgement ;)

[Ultima Star]

I think he looks pretty cool, hot and sexy XD no really I like him and as someone said he's not the normal pretty boy always shown in FF series.
He's more hot than pretty I mean pretty is good but hot is a lot more good^-^

[Desi]

Reading that is something I would suspect someone to say about Balthier. Not this guy, he is pretty much the average FF pretty boy.

[Ultima Star]

Reading that is something I would suspect someone to say about Balthier. Not this guy, he is pretty much the average FF pretty boy.

Well forgive me! That's my opinion and...Balthier it's not hot well at least I don't consider him hot, and for me the average FF pretty boy would be Squall or even Cloud but he...the FF Versus XIII guy he doesn't look pretty as Squall or Cloud he looks more mature and you could say...hot but not the FF pretty boy

[Desi]

Well forgive me! That's my opinion and...Balthier it's not hot well at least I don't consider him hot, and for me the average FF pretty boy would be Squall or even Cloud but he...the FF Versus XIII guy he doesn't look pretty as Squall or Cloud he looks more mature and you could say...hot but not the FF pretty boy

It is your opinion and I stated my own. Balthier is the different attractive type which I find strange for you not to find him hot, while this Versus boy looks like a hodge podge of Nomura characters. I believe I said he looks like Cloud(or squall) with Sion's(the Bouncer) hair flipped backwards. Just like how Sora is Cloud with brown hair wearing Sion's Clothes. Mature isn't a word that fits his looks still seems very young.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

Well forgive me! That's my opinion and...Balthier it's not hot well at least I don't consider him hot, and for me the average FF pretty boy would be Squall or even Cloud but he...the FF Versus XIII guy he doesn't look pretty as Squall or Cloud he looks more mature and you could say...hot but not the FF pretty boy

Gah, Balthier doesn't deserve to be defined as "hot" or "pretty boy" he's just plain, downright ugly (sorry ><) I mean look at the pant legs and the way he runs (well everybody in that game runs like that...)

...Anyways... GO VERSUS GUY AND CLOUD!! :lol:

[Desi]

Gah, Balthier doesn't deserve to be defined as "hot" or "pretty boy" he's just plain, downright ugly (sorry ><) I mean look at the pant legs and the way he runs
Now this is very strange. Normally Balthier has a big fanbase for being very much a man and very stylish. I'm not going to start a conversation about how he runs because the long strides they do in most FF's are a joke.

no way does he look like his in his teens.i would say his around 20-22 but saying he is in his teens is just wrong judgement
Nah, I just think it is a black thing.

[Terros]

To me he looks like he's in his late teens to his early twenties...some where's from 18-21.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

To me he looks like he's in his late teens to his early twenties...some where's from 18-21.

18 is the perfect age :lol:

[Terros]

I agree!

[Misschoco]

i would say his nine tine............seeing that 2 of my friends also agreed he looked ninetine to be excact

[Ultima Star]

Gah, Balthier doesn't deserve to be defined as "hot" or "pretty boy" he's just plain, downright ugly (sorry ><) I mean look at the pant legs and the way he runs (well everybody in that game runs like that...)

...Anyways... GO VERSUS GUY AND CLOUD!! :lol:

I totally agree with you, Balthier is not hot and is not a pretty boy, and as you said ugly(t least that's what I think) I don't even know how is that he has his fanclub, those girls are blind if they thin Balthier is hot then....I wonder what will happend if they saw Cloud or Squall. Anyways returning to the topic yeah I think his age could be 18 or 19, but he looks mature and serious for his age(if that's his real age)

[Terros]

Right, consider that his serious look makes him look a bit older. It's common among people [to look a little older when they are really serious]. I'm gonna stick with 18.

[Lucrecia]

I say he looks 20. If not 19.

[Terros]

18! 18!! He's still ringing 18 to me.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

18! 18!! He's still ringing 18 to me.

Ditto! 1. 8.
Maybe it's because he has so much pressure (being the only heir of the throne and having to protect the crystals and such), so he matured early...

I'm sticking with 18 :P

[Ultima Star]

yeah I also think he is 18 or maybe 19 but then again he is not over 20 he is young but serious

[Desi]

I don't even know how is that he has his fanclub, those girls are blind if they thin Balthier is hot then....I wonder what will happend if they saw Cloud or Squall.
Blind? No, I just believe they like someone that resembles a man and not so much a dolled up boy. This boy fits the cliche look bill perfect.

[Ultima Star]

Well...I really think they're blind....but it's their likes not mine XD personally I don't like Balthier...and I don't find him hot...I can say that even Vaan is better than Balthier

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

Well...I really think they're blind....but it's their likes not mine XD personally I don't like Balthier...and I don't find him hot...I can say that even Vaan is better than Balthier

>_< YOU'RE ALL WRONG! CLOUD AND STORM ARE SAINTS!!!

[Ultima Star]

>_< YOU'RE ALL WRONG! CLOUD AND STORM ARE SAINTS!!!

Storm???....you mean the Verus guy?? I just said that Vaan was better than Balthier but I didn't said anything about Cloud....for me CLOUD IS SOOO HOT!! ....*coughs*...and Squall,Tidus,Roxas,Sora...but I'm not saying: Cloud is not hot or the Versus guy it's not hot....what I'm saying is...BALTHIER IT'S NOT HOT!!

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

Storm???....you mean the Verus guy?? I just said that Vaan was better than Balthier but I didn't said anything about Cloud....for me CLOUD IS SOOO HOT!! ....*coughs*...and Squall,Tidus,Roxas,Sora...but I'm not saying: Cloud is not hot or the Versus guy it's not hot....what I'm saying is...BALTHIER IT'S NOT HOT!!

Well yeah, whatever you just said, I said it the short and lazy way :P
...They need a fan club!!! :lol:

[Ultima Star]

Wanna create a cloud fan club??? then if you do so tell me!! i'll be sure to join and also let's make a fan club dedicated to the Versus guy

[Terros]

Back on topic, I think he's 18 even though he MAY look older, because peeps who are under a lot of stress, like him, tend to look older than they are.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

Back on topic, I think he's 18 even though he MAY look older, because peeps who are under a lot of stress, like him, tend to look older than they are.

That's what I said >_<

[Terros]

Exactly.

[Misschoco]

Exactly.

a lot of my friends say his 19

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

Wanna create a cloud fan club??? then if you do so tell me!! i'll be sure to join and also let's make a fan club dedicated to the Versus guy

How do we make a fan club? :rolleyes:

[Desi]

Back on topic, I think he's 18 even though he MAY look older, because peeps who are under a lot of stress, like him, tend to look older than they are.
16 no more. the black man has spoken.

[Flint]

16 no more. the black man has spoken.

He will most likely be 17, just like Squall, Tidus, Yuna, Vaan, etc. It's that borderline child/adult age they always use - old enough to go out saving the world and killing monsters and stuff yet not quite old enough to buy a drink in a bar.

[Terros]

That's a good point.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

He will most likely be 17, just like Squall, Tidus, Yuna, Vaan, etc. It's that borderline child/adult age they always use - old enough to go out saving the world and killing monsters and stuff yet not quite old enough to buy a drink in a bar.

I think FFVII's characters' ages was as far as they would go
....Hmmm... 17 isn't bad either.... 17 it is! :lol:

[Terros]

Alright we can be sure that he's anywhere from 17-22. I'm gonna stick with the UNDER 20 theory.

[Misschoco]

I'm gonna stick with the UNDER 20 theory.

yes 19 ^_^

[Cathryn]

19 years 11 months and 364 days.

XDDD

(Part from leap years)

[Misschoco]

19 years 11 months and 364 days.


....to be exact

[Lucrecia]

I've grown to the idea of him being under twenty now since you pointed out how most characters in Final Fantasy are between 17-22. I say 19 as well.;)

[Terros]

That's a good age.

[Ultima Star]

20? um...nope 19, I still think that he's 19. the new ff characters are all under 20 so he can't be above that

[Lifrasthir]

He should be 26-28...I don't like those characters who are still teens. It bugs me for some reason. Perhaps it's cause they're so young?

[Ultima Star]

Don't you think 26-28 is too old for a FF main character?? just saying...
Anyway it's your opinion I respect it ^-^

[Lifrasthir]

Thanks. I respect your opinion as well.

:ohmy: what are you saying? Vincent's 30...And he's good looking...ah what am I kidding. He's frickin' hot! Lol....:D But I really think 22-28 is a very good range of ages..

[Ultima Star]

Yeah Vincent is hot....but I was talking of the characters from the main games, I know the only one that is above 20 is my BELOVED CLOUd...*coughs*.....
So anyways, I still think that he must be under 20 just look at him he seems young^-^ well not that young but young

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

I've always thought Vincent was immortal or something....

[Terros]

At the VERY most he's in his early twenties (20-22) but not a year older. I say this in part because he does not look that old, and Vincent is good-looking but I could place him in his thirties. But this guy ain't that old, no way. Anywho I picture the heroine either 16 or 17, and that would be disturbing. A 28-year-old and 16-year-old? 0.o

[Lucrecia]

A 28-year-old and 16-year-old? 0.o

Yeah that's disturbing.

[Desi]

It is legal in several countries. Shit I'm pretty sure it is legal where I live since 16 is the age of consent. But I don't trust my friend so who knows.

[Misschoco]

But this guy ain't that old, no way. Anywho I picture the heroine either 16 or 17, and that would be disturbing. A 28-year-old and 16-year-old? 0.o

okay whoever said this guy was 28-thats crazy :crazy:

his 19 okay

case closed

[Ultima Star]

I just still don't get why some of you want him to be so old? when all FF main characters are under 20

[Desi]

I just still don't get why some of you want him to be so old? when all FF main characters are under 20
Because older normally means facial hair, duh! I mean, beards rape those without. Age allows more mature themes and more experience naturally. That can be done younger but is more believable at a older age.

[Terros]

I still think that he'd atleast be in his late teens to early 20's, anywho think of it this way. Children being forced to make adult decisions, and caught in a dark world that they may not be ready for. It makes for a good story.

[Desi]

Children being forced to make adult decisions, and caught in a dark world that they may not be ready for. It makes for a good story.
I see it as just a Sweet sixteen. The whole transformation through teen to adult is ignorance to acceptance. The view of a child known to be too narrowminded. But he is saving the world or something like that!

[Terros]

Yes, he's a child (in a sense) being forced to cope with a world he may not be ready for. Sure he's saving the world, but we don't know the effect it's having on him.

[Ultima Star]

Is his responsibility to save the world so uh..yeah..a teenager with a such a respinsability it's a very good theme for a story that belongs to FF, so he must be 18...I still think that

[Terros]

That's what I'm getting at.

[Misschoco]

I still think that he'd atleast be in his late teens to early 20's, anywho think of it this way. Children being forced to make adult decisions, and caught in a dark world that they may not be ready for. It makes for a good story.

a child would be classed at 0-14/15 years old.how can we call him a child at around 19/20

his responsibility is already present considering he needs to protect the crystals

[Desi]

a child would be classed at 0-14/15 years old.how can we call him a child at around 19/20

Because full development into adulthood doesn't end(for boys at least) until mid 20's.

[Terros]

Because full development into adulthood doesn't end(for boys at least) until mid 20's. Exactly.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

So the Versus guy is still considered a kid?! <_<
...Hey Cloud! Come back here!

[Ultima Star]

I don't consider him a kid, he's a teenager lol!
Just a question...why are you calling Cloud? I just don't get it

[CloudStrife1992]

I think 'Storm' is somewhere around Cloud's age. They look about the same, age wise. So somewhere around 19-23 I'm guesing. I think Square wants to have an older main character again. Didn't Nomura or someone say that this story was going to be the most depressing FF so far? I don't think any of the FF's with teanage main characters were as depressing as FFVII.

[Terros]

Yes it is going to be the "darkest" FF yet, that's why he was saying there wouldn't be a definitive love story. Though there may be allusions to one.

[Ultima Star]

Without a romantic side? T.T ...um...it'll be cool, cos the fans are not going to be jealous XD well that's also a good change because lately FF stories have too much romance

[Misschoco]

I think 'Storm' is somewhere around Cloud's age. They look about the same, age wise. So somewhere around 19-23 I'm guesing.

thank you

alas you can see his around 19

[Lucrecia]

19. He's 19!!!!!!!!

[Ultima Star]

19 and that's it! you can just tell by seeing his face^-^ which is so hot...*coughs*....anyway only time will tell

[Terros]

Yes, he definately has the face of someone in their late teens.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

No! 18!!!
:blink:
...... Okay! 18 and a half! And I ain't goin' any higher :rolleyes:

[Desi]

still looks 16. That is the face of a baby.

[Misschoco]

still looks 16. That is the face of a baby.

his 19-face of a baby yes but his physical/body attributes(excluding his face) dont point to the age of 16

[Lucrecia]

his 19-face of a baby yes but his physical/body attributes(excluding his face) dont point to the age of 16

Thats true.

[Misschoco]

Thats true.

thank you-finally someone sees my point :P

[Lucrecia]

:D Your welcome. For the way he looks, the muscles he has and the way he can fight, he should be around 19.

[Desi]

...you have to be 19 to know how to fight? Thank god you don't live around here you would be killed instantly. I've seen middle school kids with bigger muscles(he doesn't even have them, those are lumps).

[Misschoco]

his 19 and im sticking to it

i never said you had to be 19 to fight.....................

[Lucrecia]

I don't remember saying that you had to be 19 to fight either. I was just saying that his looks just made me think he was 19. and trust me I've seen people around my area with bigger muscles too. When you have gangs hanging around all over the place, especially in the city, you have to act and not show any concern otherwise....who knows what will happen.

[Desi]

the way he can fight, he should be around 19Sorry but this makes it look like people that aren't 19 fight a certain way/don't know how.

[Lucrecia]

Well whose qoute is that? I can see what your saying, but I didn't necessarily say just because the way he fought that he was 19.

[Desi]

Your quote. I just don't see any reason for him to be 19. Now Kitase can write down whatever age he wants and it'll probably be between 17-21. I don't agree at all. He just doesn't look over 16. That is because 9th graders look older then him and they are what, 14?

[Terros]

Desi has a point I see kids in my school who look like they're almost 25 and they're only seniors! It could again be his expression...anywho, let's just say he's 17 and a half that puts him at the half way point between 16 and 19. There dispute settled.

[Lucrecia]

Your quote. I just don't see any reason for him to be 19. Now Kitase can write down whatever age he wants and it'll probably be between 17-21. I don't agree at all. He just doesn't look over 16. That is because 9th graders look older then him and they are what, 14?

Well I didn't exactly say it that way. And once again....it's what I think. he just looks like it to me, not necessarily because of the way he fights.

[Desi]

Yes but I have to defend my opinion as well by using examples. If you really wanted to convince me otherwise you could have brought up Bow Wow or that boy from "Home Alone". They both look nothing like their age.

[Terros]

Well then lets not give him a specific age, let square suprise us (or not). I say between 16-19.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

My brother is 14 and he looks pretty...mature...ish :blink:
... But 18 is still better :rolleyes:

[Ultima Star]

18-19 is a good age.
Yeah, he seems a lot mature like he was 20 or more but maybe it's because of his responsability. Still 19

[Terros]

Fine how but we just wait till his age is released.

[Ultima Star]

Yeah, that'll be a good idea, it's been really a lot of days that we're discussing his age and we keep repeating the same things,right?

[Terros]

So find something else to talk about other than his age, do you think he works with subordinates? The trailer shows collapsed people on the steps, his soldiers you think? And if so do they also have similar powers?

[Desi]

He may, I personally don't see him working well with people so he doesn't pay them no mind. Not soloist just not taught the values of communication. I see it like his guards would think it is out of character if he walked up to them and wanted to talk.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

So find something else to talk about other than his age, do you think he works with subordinates? The trailer shows collapsed people on the steps, his soldiers you think? And if so do they also have similar powers?

The soldiers most likely don't have the special powers as him. I've always thought he was special, maybe royal blood gave him the powers

[Terros]

Perhaps, though if that is the case I think it's more from the crystal than his bloodline, though that too may be tied into the crystal is some way.

[Misschoco]

The soldiers most likely don't have the special powers as him. I've always thought he was special, maybe royal blood gave him the powers

if the soldiers did have the powers he did..........

.........then they wouldn't be on lying on the steps dead

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

if the soldiers did have the powers he did..........

.........then they wouldn't be on lying on the steps dead

Good point :(
..And if they have the same powers as him, they can rebell againist him. I mean, I bet the people don't want a king as young as him :blink:

[Misschoco]

Good point :(
..And if they have the same powers as him, they can rebell againist him. I mean, I bet the people don't want a king as young as him :blink:

so i think we can rule out this theory..........

And if so do they also have similar powers?

[Lifrasthir]

The trailer shows collapsed people on the steps, his soldiers you think? And if so do they also have similar powers?

That could be possible but I don't honestly see him having people fight for him. Of course there is the fact that he's a royal but his message he portrays in the trailer doesn't fit. I'm probably wrong with this assumption....*thinks*

[Terros]

And I don't think those peeps are necessarily dead (didn't see any blood, and this FF will actually have some blood and gore), and they can have the same powers just not on the same level he does.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

:blink: Hmm, so the country is filled with people with supernatural powers? Oh yeah, that makes the Versus guy seem VERY unique *sarcasm* :nag:

[Terros]

I didn't say everyone one has the powers, they could, and if powers alone are the only thing that makes him unique then he's pretty boring.

[Ultima Star]

Maybe they're just 'Storm's servants' and they died trying to protect his king, well the future king.
But those guys in armor whipped them out and so now Storm has to show his fighting skills and prove those guys that he can be a good king and also a great fighter

[Misschoco]

:blink: Hmm, so the country is filled with people with supernatural powers? Oh yeah, that makes the Versus guy seem VERY unique *sarcasm* :nag:
Thats not even true or certain yet

Maybe they're just 'Storm's servants' and they died trying to protect his king, well the future king.

this dont fit in-if storm is a great fighter(which is evident in the 2nd trailer not released yet)and if he can protect himself then why would he necessarily need soldiers to protect him ;)

[Terros]

I wanna see him fight the white hooded guy(girl?).

[Misschoco]

I wanna see him fight the white hooded guy(girl?).

thats where the problem lies-no ones sure about that characters gender.It just adds to our frustration ;)

[Ultima Star]

I also wanna see him fight.
How would I like to be in Japan by now

[Misschoco]

How would I like to be in Japan by now
even if you were...it would be to late to view that trailer-since its already been shown yesterday :P


damn the frustration :nag:

[Ultima Star]

That I know XD
But anyway, I wished I could have travelled to Japan last week, just to see the Square-Enix party.
I would have like to see Storm fighting agaisnt that white hooded guy/girl

[Firewolf]

i hope we get some images of the white hooded man before tgs

[Misschoco]

i hope we get some images of the white hooded man before tgs

Guy/girl.........we still dont know yet ;)

we have to make do with fanart

[Terros]

It's either a woman or another "girly" appearing boy, as the comment stated.

[Ultima Star]

Girly Boy?
Nomura likes to do design character like that lot?, don't you think?

[Terros]

Yep...*cough*Sephiroth, Kadaj*cough*

[Ultima Star]

You're so right.
So if this 'girl' was really a boy then we shouldn't be that surprised

[Lucrecia]

Well, at least they didn't make the Versus guy girly looking. And fanart isn't enough. they need to come out with screen images soon.

[Terros]

Exactly.

[Ultima Star]

Fan art, that is not real.
We need screenshoots!!! SCREENSHOOTS I said!!!

[Terros]

It'll be a while before we get them though.

[Ultima Star]

i just can't wait.
I wanna see who was trying to attack my Versus guy

[Terros]

The trailer only showed the lips and hair of the character and they clothes.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

Only the mouth and stuff? Aww...they're playing hard to get :rolleyes:

[Misschoco]

Yep...*cough*Sephiroth, Kadaj*cough*

*cough*yazoo*cough*


about the fanart.......i guess we gota make do ;) something is always better then nothing

but we do have a almost solid impression of this new character

[Ultima Star]

I just see a white hooded guy/girl...that doesn't give me an impression.
I want SCREENSHOTS!!!!

[Terros]

We'll be waiting for a while.

[Ultima Star]

I hate waiting......I'm gonna go and kidnap Nomura so that he shows me that hooded guy/girl who wants to go and kidnap Nomura with me?

[Terros]

I hate waiting......I'm gonna go and kidnap Nomura so that he shows me that hooded guy/girl who wants to go and kidnap Nomura with me?

If you kidnap him that will delay the project even further. Anywho, waiting is how they build up anticipation, it's a common business tactic.

[Ultima Star]

.....business tactic, huh?...
Haven't think of that, yeah I will delay the project and that'd be worse XD

[Mad_Hatter]

After seeing the fanart, I have the impression that this white-hooded person is a guy... who has *cough*yazoo*cough*'s gene.

The ending of the 2nd trailer is truly a cliff-hanger >_< I hate it!!! What will happen to the versus Guy???????????????????

[Terros]

Like I said to build up anticipation.

[Misschoco]

After seeing the fanart, I have the impression that this white-hooded person is a guy... who has *cough*yazoo*cough*'s gene.
*cough*kadaj*cough*

but fan art can be deceptive too

The ending of the 2nd trailer is truly a cliff-hanger >_< I hate it!!! What will happen to the versus Guy???????????????????
common sense really,he'll survive and win cause if he didnt then the whole game would be pointless if he died then;) etc.

[Ultima Star]

If he died...NOOO!!! I don't wanna think about that.
Can't imagine a life without Storm

[Misschoco]

If he died...NOOO!!! I don't wanna think about that.
Can't imagine a life without Storm
noooo *slaps images of storm dieng out of chocos head* i cant imagine a life without him either :'(

by tragedy all nomura meant was immense internal pain that comes with bonds....yh thats all :'(

[Terros]

And that could include death, if Storm died (and god would I be ballin' my eyes out) it would hurt someone else, say the heroine?

[Ultima Star]

NO! It would hurt the fans

[Terros]

And the heroine.

[Ultima Star]

................it's just one heroine and thousands of fans that'd die if he dies

[Terros]

*News flash* "All over the world, fans of the main character of Final Fantasy Versus XIII have been committing suicide over the death of the main character."

[Ultima Star]

I said that it would hurt the thousands of fans...just hurt but not to the extenct to commit suicide XD Though it made me laughed ^-^
I know I said that'd die but of sadness not suicide XD

[Terros]

lol!!

[Ultima Star]

Yeah..sorry forget about it.
Let's go back on topic

[Misschoco]

................it's just one heroine and thousands of fans that'd die if he dies
*kills self*:'(


back on topic..does pain always have to come from death?it can become a bit cliched sometimes;)

[Terros]

No, but that can be a great source. I would not be surprised if someone elses death his one of the contributing factors to Storms pain.

[Ultima Star]

....yeah it'd be fine that any other character dies, besides Storm.
Never hear of a game when the main character has to die

[Misschoco]

Never hear of a game when the main character has to die
happens a lot in most films. I just dont want them to put it into practice in the game

[Ultima Star]

Me neither.
*imagines Storm dying*......NOOO!!!!!!

[Terros]

If he does die hopefully he'll have a peaceful death.

[Ultima Star]

..................*heart attack*......

[Misschoco]

If he does die hopefully he'll have a peaceful death.
but if he had a peaceful death it would emphasize on the sadness of his death
*slaps images of storm dying out of head*

[Ultima Star]

*suicide*!

[Misschoco]

*suicide*!
suicide indeed :'( if square already has a faint idea of the fans reactions to a death then hopefully they wont put it into practice :'(

[Ultima Star]

....*back to life*...can't kill myself or else the club won't be made.
Back on topic, I don't want him to die!!!

[Misschoco]

Back on topic, I don't want him to die!!!
im ruling this out...if he were to die then no one would be able to protect the crystal unless someone comes along to do it at the end of the game


but why are we talking about the main character dying??:'(

[Lucrecia]

im ruling this out...if he were to die then no one would be able to protect the crystal unless someone comes along to do it at the end of the game


but why are we talking about the main character dying??:'(

Because it was just a thought of what the tragedy might be. But we have to get the idea of him dying out of our heads or misschoco will start to hyperventilate.

[Misschoco]

or misschoco will start to hyperventilate.
:crazy:some one hand me a paper bag :'(

i think we are misinterpreting nomuras idea of tragedy :'(

[Lucrecia]

:crazy:some one hand me a paper bag :'(

i think we are misinterpreting nomuras idea of tragedy :'(

Sorry I have no paper bags at the moment.

But death of the Versus guy is possible because it could be internal pain that leads to death.

[Misschoco]

Sorry I have no paper bags at the moment.

But death of the Versus guy is possible because it could be internal pain that leads to death.
but as death wasnt mentioned as a main theme in the game such as bonding and friendship..all nomura mentioned about the pain that would come is with bonds..he didnt actually indicate pain coming from death

[Lucrecia]

but as death wasnt mentioned as a main theme in the game such as bonding and friendship..all nomura mentioned about the pain that would come with these bonds..he didnt actually indicate pain coming from death

>_< Well, you know him. He likes keeping secrets. And he's very good at that.:nod:

[Misschoco]

>_< Well, you know him. He likes keeping secrets. And he's very good at that.:nod:
ahhh but we still dont know that either..or possibly he has pain from the things he hides from his friendship or that the bonds he has are difficult to maintain etc

[Ultima Star]

Or he woudl die of pain...because his beloved one doesn't want to be with him.
*goes and hugs Versus guy*

[Misschoco]

Or he woudl die of pain...because his beloved one doesn't want to be with him.

he probably doesnt even have a beloved yet :rolleyes:

[Ultima Star]

I hope so.

[Misschoco]

I hope so.
hope indeed...having a very dear beloved would just add more grief if anything were to happen..just having someone with a spark between them and storm would be enough btw:that person should be able to understand storm and not be all like..where have you been? i was worried? etc. they gota be kinda laid back...like me ^_^

[Ultima Star]

SO you're sayin that if Storm has a girl she has to be like you?

[Lucrecia]

ahhh but we still dont know that either..or possibly he has pain from the things he hides from his friendship or that the bonds he has are difficult to maintain etc

That's true.

he probably doesnt even have a beloved yet :rolleyes:

Wait wouldn't you be his beloved misschoco???? :lol:

SO you're sayin that if Storm has a girl she has to be like you?

A perfect example of what I was saying. If the Versus Guy does have a girl she might as well be misschoco. :lol:

[Ultima Star]

*suicide* x__x
no kiddin! you think misschoco could be Storm's beloved one?

[Terros]

Yes, but we don't know if his "girl" knows him from before or if they'll meet in the game.

[Lifrasthir]

Exactly was I was thinking Terros.

[Terros]

There still has been no info released about the heroine, all we know is that there is gonna be one. So knowing about her and Storms relationship is impossible at this point.

[Lifrasthir]

There still has been no info released about the heroine, all we know is that there is gonna be one. So knowing about her and Storms relationship is impossible at this point.

*agrees* All we know is that the main character is a female with some sort of interesting relationship with Storm.

[Terros]

Yep, so until Square decides to quit holding out on us we're at a stand still.

[Lifrasthir]

Yep, so until Square decides to quit holding out on us we're at a stand still.

Urg....that bugs me greatly...I wonder if Square's even figured it out yet...

[Ultima Star]

What? that we're waiting to know the heroine or that Misschoco keeps fainting and hyperventilating when she sees Storm XD

[Lifrasthir]

What? that we're waiting to know the heroine or that Misschoco keeps fainting and hyperventilating when she sees Storm XD

Nah, I was talking about whether or not Square's figured out the heronie's relationship with Storm...or if their scenario writers haven't gotten that far yet.

[Terros]

Yeah, I wonder if they even know.

[Ultima Star]

They need to think about it and tell us!
*weird images in head*
and..if Storm kills the heroine?

[Lifrasthir]

They'll tell us eventually...when the game comes out. :D

[Ultima Star]

so...let's wait.
I hate waiting but...it's gonna be worth it I'm sure ^_^

[Terros]

The heroine getting killed....that may not be too far from the truth, though I don't believe it would by Storm's hand. The rumor is that the woman in the logo is the heroine, but to me she looks older than Storm, perhaps the game switches between past and present. In the past you might play has the heroine, accompanied by a younger Storm, and in the present you play as Storm and perhaps a new heroine who is similar to the original heroine in some way...I'm sorry was that confusing?

[Lifrasthir]

Yeah, probably the more time Square takes on the Versus XIII project, the more better it'll turn out.

[Terros]

Patience is a virtue, though not one I like. But when they take their time we get good stuff....*continues pondering theory*

[Lifrasthir]

And sometimes when they take their time we expect something totally different than what they give to us, thus making us not enjoy the game as much....or maybe we'll enjoy it so much we piss our pants.

[Ultima Star]

good theory Terros I agree 100 %

[Terros]

I think that would be interesting, the best way to understand what's happening in the present is to know what led up to it in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if the heroine is only playable in "flash back" scenes. Because she looks older than Storm, and that may explain why there isn't a real love story goin' on. Age gap.

[Ultima Star]

I don't want a love story :(

[Lifrasthir]

A scenario which part is based around romance does not seem appealilng to me..

[Terros]

Well if this is the case, you won't have to worry about there being one. Supposing my theory is correct:

A) There would be a definate Age gap between the heroine and Storm
B) She's dead in the present
C) Considering Storm's probable age, he would have been a kid (7-10ish) so that would make her a pedofile if they were "together"
D) If this is so, then they don't have a romantic relationship, but more of a sister-brother or mother-son relationship.

[Ultima Star]

Storm pedofile?!!
NO; NO, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't agree on this one, let's say that at least the 'heroine' has to be 15

[Terros]

Storm pedofile?!!
NO; NO, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't agree on this one, let's say that at least the 'heroine' has to be 15

NO! I said the HEROINE would be the pedofile.

[Ultima Star]

.....ok XD Yo I always get the wrong ideas *slaps herself*
I was going to commit suicide again :(

[Terros]

Stop killing yourself! So that's why I don't think there will be a strong love story...

[Ultima Star]

Ok, I'll get a grip lol XD
I don't want a love story. I want him to be single FOREVER!!!
It's just as much as I want Cloud to be single forever but that's other story

[Terros]

I don't think it'll happen, love is to ingrained in FF, but they may have a love story like FFX...

[Ultima Star]

..........no,no,no!! I've always thought, is he is not with the one I want him to be then he's better off dead XD but then again...can't imagine a life without Storm...*suicide*XD

[Terros]

What did I just say about killing yourself!!

[Ultima Star]

....*quotes Terros*: STOP KILLING YOURSELF!
Yeah I knowXD
But seriously...I want him single..or else dead....U.U
But.....Storm dead no! T.T *suicid....**stops killing herself*XD

[Terros]

That's it, I'm calling the mental ward.

[Ultima Star]

..no don't do that I'll calm down then....
Then let's talk about somthing else that isn't Storm's death

[Terros]

Ok, what do you think his childhood was like?

[Ultima Star]

A very sad one....a kid being alone all the time, with no one to play with T.T

[Terros]

I think that's where the "heroine is a part of the crystal" theory comes in. I mentioned before that the crystal might create a manifestation of itself because it was lonely, therefore it can relate to Storm.

[Ultima Star]

You said his childhood, not the heroine....*breaths* ok I managed to control it XD

[Misschoco]

Ok, what do you think his childhood was like?
i dont think his childhood will be revealed...but it probably would of been a simplistic one.....having a sad childhood in a sad game would just seem cliched ;)

[Ultima Star]

A sad childhood....poor Storm.
But then is this game is said to be sad then his life has to be sad....*cries*

[Misschoco]

A sad childhood....poor Storm.
But then is this game is said to be sad then his life has to be sad....*cries*
but yet again its another common thing....sad story so you have to have a sad childhood...no that shouldnt be like that....its better if he just had a normal childhood so the present sadness or events could be concentrated on in this game and not the supposed sad childhood ;)

[Terros]

Yes, but happy wouldn't fit in with the theme of FFvsXIII.

[Lifrasthir]

Yes, happy wouldn't fit with the theme of FFvXIII

[Terros]

I don't expect the game to be completely cliche' free, but no major cliche's and not to many; obviously considering the posistion he's in, I think a happy, or even normal childhood is WAY of the picture.

[Ultima Star]

I think that his childhood wasn't even normal XD

[Desi]

but yet again its another common thing....sad story so you have to have a sad childhood...no that shouldnt be like that....its better if he just had a normal childhood so the present sadness or events could be concentrated on in this game and not the supposed sad childhood ;)
Pretty much.

Had a sheltered life and got anything he wanted. So all these upcoming events can open his eyes and that is where they get the "sadness" from.

[Ultima Star]

....say, he is gonna be king and got anything he wanted? lol!
