Blood <3

[Kitmitsu]

Who else was glad to see blood in the Versus trailer? However sadistic that sounds I'm really glad they added it in. The only blood we've had in Final Fantasy's is Squall's forehead and Cloud getting stabbed in Advent Children.

I think I'm mainly happy because I always had a feeling Nomura may make it sort of similar to Kingdom Hearts...I guess this makes me feel better. :P

[Cathryn]

When he stabbed that solider in mid air i was preety much amazed.
Nice to see they are adding elements such as blood into FF games now, well in gameplay and cutscenes hopefully.

[Desi]

Not as much blood as it was hyped up to be. I only really found one scene, which was the falling stab of course.

[Dark Vincent]

It was little but it was good. Nomura always gave me the impression of wanting to direct FF towards more serious themes and so blood would eventually happen in a game directed by him. All in all, I didn't care about FFvsXIII at all before, but with this new trailer I am curious

[Interficio Nocte]

I liked how th blood actually looked realistic. Hopefully there will be more.....<3

[Allen Walker]

Its always nice to see some violence, especially when theres blood.

[Interficio Nocte]

Its always nice to see some violence, especially when theres blood.

Of Course.

Hopefully that means that serrated weapons will now have a better effect.

[Khaos]

It was ok...

BUT I WANT MORE!! :cunning:


Seriously, it's great that they let the blood spill in Versus,
fits very well with the more 'dark' theme.

[Shadow Clone]

i like the fact that Vxiii has blood, it makes it look realistic. id also like to see severed limbs and broken bones, like when a person gets his leg cut off you should be able see their bones, at least do somthing like that as a critical/finishing attack.

Is that too gory?

[S-r-ex]

Could the power of CELL make broken bones stick out of the skin? Realtime in battle? In that visually disgusting hollywood-style?

[Ultima Star]

It took me a while to notice the blood cos I was busier watching V fight lol.
but yeah..blood is ...awesome..:|
Not that much blood though eh..it's better than nothing =/

[Naunen]

I was totally happy to see the blood. Finally! A Final Fantasy with proper blood.

[Terros]

>3 Blood, Finally!! I Am So Freaking Happy!

[Ultima Star]

:blink:
Oh my..it seems blood made you guys pretty happy :P

[Interficio Nocte]

:blink:
Oh my..it seems blood made you guys pretty happy :P

Of course it does, why would it make us sad?:|

[Ultima Star]

Nobody say a thing about sadness :blink:

It's just kinda weird people like eh..blood :P

[Dark Vincent]

we are not ncessarily amazed at the sight of blood, but rather what it can mean for a FF game: Maturity :P

[Terros]

Exactly blood has been pretty taboo when it came to the FF series and finally Square is stepping up to the plate and showin some gore.

[Destiny Angel]

I never saw the trailer but hearing this is interesting. As long as it's not Mortal Kombat style gore.

[deceptacon]

i noticed the blood also :cunning:

i likeeed

[valkyrieshoes]

Haha, I knew I wasn't going crazy. This is the first time they've used blood in a Final Fantasy FMV isn't it?

[Lucrecia]

It's about time there's some blood. :rolleyes: Makes the game seem more interesting. :P

[Dark Vincent]

Haha, I knew I wasn't going crazy. This is the first time they've used blood in a Final Fantasy FMV isn't it?
Nah, Crisis Core ending, FFVIII's start (Squall's forehead) and Advent Children when Cloud gets stabbed.

[Whiplash]

Who else was glad to see blood in the Versus trailer? However sadistic that sounds I'm really glad they added it in. The only blood we've had in Final Fantasy's is Squall's forehead and Cloud getting stabbed in Advent Children.

I think I'm mainly happy because I always had a feeling Nomura may make it sort of similar to Kingdom Hearts...I guess this makes me feel better. :P

Their attempt to make something 'dark' and 'tragic' is to add blood. Oh boy.

[Dark Remnant]

I'm not fussed about blood to be honest, this just give sex deprived mothers more to protest about.

[The Whaler]

Guess it's pretty cool to see blood, I mean more then any other FF I've seen thus far at least, an M rating maybe?

[Cathryn]

It'll most likely get a 15 in Europe.
Which makes that an M Rating in America.

Sweet :cunning:

[Naunen]

Nah, it may have been gore we saw but it ain't enough to be M rating. I've seen more in a rated T game. o.o

[The Whaler]

There might be more blood/gore in future FMV/gameplay

15 is M rating in Europe?? wow

[Cathryn]

I think so yea, 15 and 18 preety much class as a M Rating.
But Game Shops over in England don't care about your age, I've walked in numerous times and bought 18+ games like GTA and shit xD

[Naunen]

Here's hoping to see the guy spotted with blood now. Gawd, him and his elite skillz. Puts dry-cleaners outta business.

[Slim__Cognito]

i liked the blood, much better than light bursting from an emenies body. it fit the game well, but there probably wont be much more as most rpgs dont cross over into "M" territory

[Terros]

The first episode of Xenosaga had quite a bit of blood and it was rated Teen so maybe there will be some more blood.

[Slim__Cognito]

it wasent that bad, all the good stuff got censcored somehow like the thermal imaging when the archtype killed kevin,,

but looking at uncharted , it did have a suprising amount of blood in it for a teen game..seems like the ratings for everything have been more leanient

[Desi]

Nah, Crisis Core ending, FFVIII's start (Squall's forehead) and Advent Children when Cloud gets stabbed.Sephiroth at the end of VII.

[Terros]

Yeah but those were very limited amounts of blood, no where near realistic.

[Lifrasthir]

BLOOD! :w00t:

I think I'm in love. :wuv: Lol. Kidding. But I was thrilled to see some blood. Hopefully this will give the game a more realistic feel to it.

[Dark Remnant]

Oh it'll make it more realistic alright but I wouldn't bank on blood being in the final product.

[Naunen]

Being a dark game and I dunno how many people gasped at the sight of blood, I'll say they'll keep the blood. More or less.

[Dark Remnant]

Maybe they'll keep it in a few cut scenes or something but I'm not sure they'll have it as a main feature of the game.

Don't forget that FFX only had one blood scene.

[Naunen]

Maybe they'll keep it in a few cut scenes or something but I'm not sure they'll have it as a main feature of the game.

Don't forget that FFX only had one blood scene.

----And I hardly saw that scene 'cause it wasn't striking. There will be a few bloody moments maybe since a soldier wouldn't matter that much.

[Dark Remnant]

Oh I think a soldier would matter more than a Sahagin but even so I ca't see blood being a recurring thing for FF Versus XIII because if it's too gory then the age certificate on the game will be raised, leaving all the younger FF fans in the dark and as I've said before; I think SE are just experimenting with stuff at this point.

[Naunen]

Then we'll be disappointed when he stabs the dude and no blood comes out when there should have been.

[Anima]

It's about damn time they put a decent amount of blood in a Final Fantasy game. D<

[Dark Vincent]

There will be blood in the final product, Remnant. Whether it'll be for this scene only (like in previous FFs) or as often as even during normal ingame battles is yet to be seen though, I'm expecting it to appear in a couple cutscenes, but not that much to make it a M rated game.

[Terros]

It can have blood, as long at it doesn't go overboard it'll keep it's teen rating.

[Rev-SQ]

YES FINALLY. I like games with blood, it's more realistic. As long as it's not to the point where a papergut gushes blood like a fountain, I'm okay. I mean, I remember there was this one anime or game or something that had unrealistic amounts of blood. I believe it was Hellsing. Anyway, when someone is shot, they pretty much exploded in a giant ball of blood.

[Terros]

I love games with blood too, and just adds excitement in general to the blood.

[Naunen]

Heh heh... Blood seems to make us happy. Too bad there wasn't any more blood after that gore when he stabbed the soldier.

[Dark Remnant]

Then we'll be disappointed when he stabs the dude and no blood comes out when there should have been.

Not if he doesn't stab anyone.

Notice how he only stabbed one person and the rest he just slashed with with his sword and (well wadd'ya know) there was no blood?

Because that one stabbing was an experiment, nothing more, if that scene appears in the game it will be one of few if at all. Blood will not be a common theme in this game, no matter how badly you want it to be.

[Whiplash]

YES FINALLY. I like games with blood, it's more realistic.


Keep in mind this is a series where otherwise fatal gunshots and sword cuts aren't enough to kill something in one hit.

[Cathryn]

But mind, you the relisim in somebody slashing a armoured soldier wouldn't result in blood flying everywhere, you most likely wouldn't see any blood at all because of the camera angles within the trailer, but as for gunshots and stab's which pentrate, i'd like to see blood, which shows nicely in the trailer.
Minus the gunshot pentration, you just see soldiers being used as a second recoil from their shots which reflected off the characters shield.

[DarkCoffin]

Yeah really... I hope there's more >]

[Terros]

Let's pray that for once Square will be daring enough to do it.

[Gaia]

I loved the blood! It was so cool, and I think its about time Square added blood to one of their games. And I wouldn't mind seeing more of it.
to me it makes it seem more realistic.

[Darling Heartilly]

They wouldn't have bothered putting blood in the trailer if they weren't putting any in the actual game. I think it's safe to say we'll be lots more of the stuff. Woohoo, blood's my favourite colour!

[Auroradark]

Wow bump rofl xD itd be kinda cool to see a nice blood decal or two in their games xD

[Bun]

There was blood?! Jesus, I'm out of it; need to go back through and watch again. Anyway, since apparently there was blood, that's freakin' awesome! I'm really tired of everything being so controversial and toned down now a days. Whatever happened to the times when someone got stabbed or wounded, they bleed as a result? Or do humans no longer do that...

I just want to see something realistic, something dark, and I'm counting on these games to do that for me.

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

^ROFL I was thinking the exact same thing when I read the topic description. Lol what blood? I even went to re-watch it and I still didn't see shit.

[Gaia]

It was when the prince teleported to the side of the building where the soldiers were using those ropes to climb up the sides; he used some sort of spear thing and stabbed one soldier in the gut, that's when the blood splurted out! It was so awesome!

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

My gosh, I didn't even notice that he stabbed the solider until now. Shows how unattentive I am to detail :lol:

Thanks Gaia! ;D

[Gaia]

:lol:LOL:lol:
I was wondering how you could have missed that! Its kind of hard to miss it once you've noticed it^_^

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

To be honest, I was trying to catch a shot of his ass at that part so that's probably half the reason why I didn't bother taking notice of anything else. http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n154/StupidAquarius/ermm.gif

[entity]

If there's blood I sure hope there will be an option to turn it off. The blood looked realistic in the trailer, I accept that but I don't want my FF to be a blood fest.
Usually I don't complain about blood but I really don't want to see (much) blood in this game. Not in battles. In FMV's it would be a good thing though :rolleyes: but it shouldn't be flooding with it.

Do not fear, Entity, I'm sure Square Enix will not let Versus become a blood bath or a blood fest. If they're keeping the blood I'm sure it won't show up that much.
And don't worry because blood is virtually harmless;) But I'm not sure if there is going to be blood in only scenes or if the blood will be visible while you're fighting in the game itself.:|
You're right though, it shouldn't be flooding with it- that would just be too much!

I believe in SE in that matter, but I just said my opinion ^_^
Maybe I overreacted a bit. I had a mental image of somebody literally blowing up after reading earlier posts in this thread :|

Okay. The part where the prince stabs that soldier and the blood gushes out is kinda cool. :) I never gave much thought for it before reading this thread...

[Gaia]

^Its one of my favorite parts in the trailer:D
My second favorite part is when they shoot a missile at him but there's no blood there ^_^

[Sidderz]

Blood ftw! :aldo:

[Naunen]

You'd think that explosion would blast the bodies around off the stairs.

[~DarkPassion~]

Hi ^^

I like the blood in the Trailer, it's not to much and so it looks very realistic ^-^

~DarkPassion~

[Gaia]

....It didn't blow off the bodies, it didn't even blow up the entrance to the palace or whatever:blink:^_^

^But the blood does look really cool! I liked the sound that it made when he stabbed that one soldier deep in the gut when they were climbing up the walls. It sort of sounded squishy and...gross...but it was still awesome!:D

[Naunen]

----Of course it was awesome. Hawtt guy stabbing soldier= extremely sexy, am I not right? xD

[entity]

Anyone else here who would like to see the prince wounded? Severely wounded.. :cunning: (omg I'm starting to like blood in this game :lol:)
I would really like to see him suffer and be on the verge of death... lol I'm not a sadist but I could sympathize with him and feel closer to him.

[Kaiwa]

----Of course it was awesome. Hawtt guy stabbing soldier= extremely sexy, am I not right? xD

Hmm so stabbing soldiers is sexy right... :P I do personally think that it the blood gives the game that more "dark" feeling then other final fantasy's which feels like a good twist to me :)

[-Tidus4]

I love the blood man it's awesome, also the neck snap too :] I don't think it will be anything like GoW but for a FF game the amount shown is just about right to be able to give the game that colder feel.

It would be jokes to see Heads bowing up and Arms flying all over the place like Fallout 3 :] but nah that would kill FF for me. But i definetly want to break a soldiers head like shown in the trailer.

[Stiltzkin]

Not so surprising since Crisis Core's ending was full of blood and gore.
and Multiple shots to a dead mans chest!

But awesome! Blood in XIII ..looks like we might have some nudity after all.
Since we'll be having this game as M for mature for the blood.

Bring on the Lightning *accidental* clothing ripping. :wub::wub:

[Shadow Clone]

lightning is not in vxiii, i dont think they would make the main game with to high an age rating.

[Stiltzkin]

I meant if it's in this game
It should be in XIII too.. duh! >_<

Yeah, same. :cunning: Well, I do kinda have a chainsaw rape fetish...

Bah, that can be left for fanwork I s'pose.

Oh no! It would not do for the main character to get wounded severly, unless he heals quickly. But if he would be that way in a critical state I would definitely sympathize...
Hey, wait! I don't think he'll ever be like that! Have you seen him kick ass in the trailers? But I wouldn't want him to suffer:|

[Gaia]

No nudity, only blood!
My dear, Stiltzkin- you should know that this is a high class combat/fighting fantasy game or whatever! Not some trashy cat-fighting cloths-ripping game! Though I wouldn't mind seeing the prince in the Versus game without his shirt:wub::aldo:
Okay! Getting back on topic, I don't think SE would have their cloths rip to that extent anyway. But does anyone have an idea how often the blood will be in the game? I mean I know it was talked about before but I'm talking about do you think it'll show up while we're controlling the characters and fighting monsters or something? Or only in scenes? :blink:

[Kaiwa]

You might actually get to see that Gaia, If he gets wounded or something and he's going to treat it.. :P

And why lightning, that "Skirt Girl" looks way more interesting to me Stiltzkin :P

[entity]

Oh no! It would not do for the main character to get wounded severly, unless he heals quickly. But if he would be that way in a critical state I would definitely sympathize...

Do you mean in battle? Because I meant in a cutscene or FMV >_<
If he's in a critical state during battle then it'd be hard to sympathize since it would be "normal" :lol:

You think the characters will bend down or start to limp when they're low on HP? That would be realistic.

I don't mind as long as there won't be any in battles. In scenes it's cool.
I guess we have to wait until we see some real time footage from the game... -_-


You might actually get to see that Gaia, If he gets wounded or something and he's going to treat it.. :P

HAHAHAHAAAAAA I shall transform into a digital form and go stab him RIGHT AWAY
thanks for the tip! :thumbsup: *ZOOOOOOOOOM*

[Gaia]

Oooo!:wub: You know it would please me for that to happen, Kaiwa, but I'm not going to get my hopes up:P- but that would be so sexy!

Nah...I meant more in a scene, in battle I wouldn't care because I'd be too focused on winning- Of coursed I'd make sure he healed though! But that would be so cool if they limped or became slow when they're low on HP, that would be very realistic. I'd like it if SE made it that way^_^

[Naunen]

I, for once, would like to see the Prince get his ass kicked in cutscenes. And blood all over him. :cunning:

[Darling Heartilly]

^ Lol. It'd certainly be different, I'm all for it!

[ArgoXavier]

Id like to see it only in cut-scenes. As Gaia said, "This is a high class combat/fighting fantasy game", and i think too much blood would ruin its credibility.

[Larsa]

I don't think I've read such a sadistic thread. But I really could care less, hell in many great movies you see tons of fighting but absolutely no blood, but in others *coughKillBillcough* they have to put it in black and white so people wouldn't get too sick while watching it.

[Big Boss]

Can you seriously get too sick of watching too much blood in a movie? We all know its fake, I would kind of like to see that when you defeat a boss that you see blood all over their face. It would be awesome, but it doesn't have to be that way. Maybe only in certain scenes there will be blood.

[Kitmitsu]

Maybe they'll fuck us over and not include the CG they've shown (like Deep Dive) and remove the blood to "reach more of an audience".

[Larsa]

Well, there are people who really do get sick from blood, my sister's friend once fainted just from a little drop from a scab. And apparently that is why the scene in Kill Bill Vol. 1 where Beatrix fights the crazy 88s, was in black and white.

[Gaia]

^They better not pull that crap off! If they take out the blood I'm not going to be a happy girl- besides this is supposed to be a dark game or whatever right?
So it would be a crime not to put the blood in; there must be blood! I don't care how much but it has to be inevitable. And if people don't like the idea of a little blood they should just get over it or whatever.
Oh, and referring to what Larsa said previously about this being a sadistic thread, I on that note would like to add that I think it would be cool if in the game we can chop people's (enemies of course) heads off and watch the blood splurt out!^_^ Like in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie!:lol:
-Now that would make my day:wub:
What do you think? Too violent?

[Big Boss]

I wonder if blood will push the rating from T to M. Either way, I can only beging to wonder how much blood may actually be in the game, hopefully like Max Payne. I really loved seeing blood being splattered to the wall and the floors.

[Darling Heartilly]

We all know they won't put much in, but if they're going for realism they've got to put it in.

Person gets stabbed by big sword, person bleeds alot and dies.

[Blanc]

I am glad there is a little bit. I doubt that they will put blood in like in FFVII.

[7 of Hope]

Either way, i wouldnt mind if they put blood in. it would be more realistic that way. I just hope its a realistic amount, and not over the top. It just takes away from the scene and what is actually going on.

It'd be wierd if Versus turns out to M rated. I dont think if they put a realistic amount of blood in and dont make it the main focus then it should still be T but idk what do i know?:blink:

[Gaia]

I don't think the game would turn out to M rated, no way- that would be too weird; that's only if the blood becomes over the top and like previous people said I don't think they will put too much blood in. The blood is only there to make the game more realistic^_^

[Maiya Saiyado]

You know... I expect it to be the same with previous Final Fantasy titles. One gushing blood scene and that's it. Like CC or FFVIII opening.

[Naunen]

Blood always adds to the dramatic effect in Square footage (Sephiroth dying, Squall getting scarred, Kuja seemingly invincible against summons but not...., etc). If they add blood where just your average soldier gets stabbed, Square's serious about the whole blood deal.

That's a really good point, i never thought of that.

[rescue_you2]

I like it because it shows that the game is a little darker and a little more mature. Before i saw the trailer i heard the Kingdom Hearts people were helping to make it and i was a little worried it would be too close to KH as far as animation. (waits to be attacked by KH fans....No offence, just not a fan). But then after seeing the trailer i was really pleasantly surprised and amazed and now im more excited about it then i am for FFXIII. CANT WAIT!
