God help me, I'm awake this night doing homework.:crazy:
http://finalfantasy-xiii.net/news/data/upimages/ffxiiilogo.jpg The Machine City Kukon
Good night, good morning, it’s three o’clock, I’m up all night doing homework and the first news from Jump Festa ticks in.
Now, this is an online translation so as always, don’t trust me on this one. Unlike the other translations I will try to make sense this time.
(And I'm not even native english >-<)
Image contents of FFXIII is shown on screen at the closed Mega theatre. (Oh no, it’s closed theatre again >-<) The enormous machine city Kokun floats up in the far sky. (Check out the video below)
Peace is protected by the crystal in this world and for the people in the outside world (lower bound world) from the 0 intruders (Zero? Monsters?). They feared their existence.
But one day the 0 invades.
The saintly prefecture (The ones who let the intruders come in) decides to force immigration to the lower bound.
The immigration is harsh. (the rest of the sentence gives no meaning in translation)
The crystal reaches a point where the human in charge of it is chosen.
The person who was chosen by the crystal ruins the mankind.
She was simply identified as 'The Lightning'So there you have it, our gravity controlling lady has been chosen by the crystal and is know by codename 'Lightning'. We got a semi-confirmed name. You can now call her Lightning.
We got an old image from TGS with a monster. It could be a 0. (http://finalfantasy-xiii.net/image.php?image=media/screens/07.jpg)
There is more, but it makes no sense. It is the Japanese article with it own theories so it’s all questions. I try to translate it anyway.Be wrapped in the water, the summoned animal of the body is like a machine?
It is the tsupo and 2 enormous women are aerial.
The lightning and the liberal expression can thrust the gun when surround by soldiers?
The youth of the fair-hair which rode of image the motorcycle was present last! (New character?)

http://finalfantasy-xiii.net/news/data/upimages/versuslogo.jpg New Versus Trailer
More clips of Final Fantasy Versus XIII are shown at the closed Mega theatre.
There is a new trailer in there. Do not take my translation as confirmed. Enjoy.“The story of the fantasy where actuality becomes the cause”
(A Hamlet sentence from Shakespeare)A car arrives, the protagonist sits down in the rear seat.
Something comes from the radio. It says in an empty voice “long continues the cold war with a conclusion…” Thats all they can hear.
The protagonist, after preventing the attack of the enemy with Sawayama's weapon, reflects the attack from the enemy with Sawayama's weapon and entering the enemy's camp on the way. He attacks directly with the weapon and pushes down the enemy.
Even attacks like a cannon is not effective against the protagonist.
When the protagonist clears the enemy in a blink of an eye, the camera suddenly pans up a building. The enemy will probably climb up a rope in the building.
Suddenly, the protagonist goes out from that place, it moves instantaneously and to sky, pushes down the enemy one after another in the position where you threw the weapon, threw instant movement. (I think he talks about actual gameplay)
Blood which is pushed down splash coming out properly, it increases the enemy (Article is commenting on age restriction)
Again, the inside of the building are taken, the casket bucket looks like the enormous pillar in rear of the chair where the protagonist sat down?
“It still does not awake” (It is vague around this)Source: FF&KH blog (http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A//ffkh.blog31.fc2.com/blog-entry-964.html&hl=en&langpair=ja%7Cen&tbb=1&ie=EUC-JP)

NOOOOOOOOOOO. Those closed theatre bitches!
Oh well, I can officially say I told you so about Nomura and his lame element names. And more motorcyles(i'm happy).
Is the motor sword the Sawayama's weapon and what does the motor do!? I just realized that Nero from DMC4 has a motor sword as well with a throttle too. He had to "tune" the sword they say.

There is much more action in the new trailer^^
As a codename I think "Lighting" is OK. Besides, she is "The Lightning", the terminator of mankind^^

Good work finding all of that :P Shame the trailers were in a closed theatre again :( I wonder if it's going to take another 6 months like last time for them to become available to us.
Kokun sounds like an okay name for the city. I'd better start adding these things to the site!
Blood which is pushed down splash coming out properly, it increases the enemy (Article is commenting on age restriction)
:ohmy: Maybe I could be right about Versus being the first 18+ Final Fantasy!

oh sry GHenrik, I posted the same thing about FFXIII a while ago (I didn't see that you already posted this) >_<
But, as I always say (not always O_o), I suck.

Aha! Resume from someone english at gamefaq. Bloody shit the KH team is bored of the nice disney style. They go all out on this one :w00t:
Just got back from JF'07. Copy-pasting this from my blog on the FFvs13 trailer.
- Same trailer music but longer and more violins inserted.
- The trailer started by showing a car going through the city, with the Versus guy in the backseat, listening to the radio (couldn't hear what the radio reporter was saying) .
- Then the usual scene of him sleeping on his throne, getting up from it and then going out of the building to greet the soldiers. But this time they showed more than a minute more of him kicking those soldiers' butts. OMG there was so many things that happened, I don't know how to describe it! And because my English sucks, I'm gonna try my best to describe the action scenes here. >__>
- First he ran towards the soldiers with his swords and hack-and-slashed away at them, then with a sword he broke a soldier's arm and with the rifle still shooting out of the soldier's hand, he moved around the soldier so that the aiming went towards the other soldiers. After he finished shooting, he looked up at the building and many soldiers were climbing down the bulding by ropes. He jumped back to the stairs and started walking towards the building but suddenly he disappeared from thin air! The camera moved to the right and left, looking for the Versus Guy, and suddenly at the corner we see one of soldiers falling down from the building and the camera went to focus there.
From there, you see Versus Guy falling down too, but in style and slashing away at the climbing soldiers while he's at it. He kept teleporting in and out and his swords kept popping out and in everywhere and he easily slashed away at the many soldiers.This whole scene is actually quite morbid, because you see the swords go through the soldiers, blood splattering out and those sorts. Once Versus Guy's done, he stood back at the stairs, but suddenly a soldier shot a bazooka at him and a huge explosion erupted. Once the smokes cleared off, you see him still standing, unscarred, because his swords deflected the explosion. Lastly, he slowly walked back into the building.
There you go. It was an awesome thing to watch, yes.

Now if you can't utilize the teleportation in-game there will be a problem.

But on the Japanese blog, it said "Protagonist Lightning".........But there's been so many threads, post and rumours saying she isn't... I'M LOST O.O
Kitmitsu
Dec 17 2006, 12:59 AM
Well no ones completly sure if she's the protagonist or not but in an interview in a magazine they said she "probably" wouldn't be the main character.
I found a less Engrish trailer description from a person who actually saw it! and can speak English!
http://maiki.livejournal.com/440756.html
Final Fantasy XIII
- The beginning of the trailer starts with a woman's voice explaining the world's background, in English. I couldn't hear the voice well (since I'm waaay at the back of the theatre) so I relied to the Japanese subtitles instead. I'm not gonna write down the world's background in case I misinterpret anything the woman said so I'd recommend waiting until a proper gaming news site (like IGN) put some coverage on it. The FF13 heroine's name is confirmed to be Lightning (the voice mentioned Lightning being chosen by the crystal, too) but it's not her real name either. It turns out she's a mysterious character in the game, too. :P
- Most of the footages are the same as the TGS'06 trailer but at the end they added a new scene where the soldiers were outnumbering Lightning and she was making a face that says "*sigh* This is so bothersome" and then suddenly a guy came into the scene with a motorbike and shot away at the soldiers. He was wearing a long trench coat, had shoulder-length blonde hair and wore a black bandanna. What I can remember of him:

Final Fantasy Versus XIII
- Same trailer music but longer and more violins inserted.
- The trailer started by showing a car going through the city, with Mr. No Socks in the backseat, listening to the radio (couldn't hear what the radio reporter was saying) .
- Then the usual sleeping on his throne, getting up from it and then going out of the building to greet the soldiers. But this time they showed more than a minute more of him kicking those soldiers' butts. OMG there was so many things that happened, I don't know how to describe it! And because my English sucks, I'm gonna try my best to describe the action scenes here. >__>
- First he ran towards the soldiers with his swords and hack-and-slashed away at them, then with a sword he broke a soldier's arm and with the rifle still shooting out of the soldier's hand, he moved around the soldier so that the aiming went towards the other soldiers. After he finished shooting, he looked up at the building and many soldiers were climbing down the bulding by ropes. He jumped back to the stairs and started walking towards the building but suddenly he disappeared into thin air! The camera moved to the right and left, looking for Mr. No Socks, and suddenly at the corner we see one of soldiers falling down from the building and the camera went to focus there.
From there, you see Mr. No Socks falling down too, but in style and slashing away at the climbing soldiers while he's at it.

Once the smokes cleared off, you see Mr. No Socks still standing, unscarred, because his swords deflected the explosion. Lastly, he slowly walked back into the building.
- At the end of trailer, I can't really remember the full text, but there was a text saying the real him(?) was still in slumber. And the end.
- ..... So yes, Mr. No Socks was hawt. I love seeing how they put so much details in his clothes and seeing how leathery or whatever the fabric for his clothes is. *_*
Looks like Mr No Socks can be pretty lethal :P It looks like there definatly wasn't any gameplay which is probably a good thing in a way as we REALLY don't want Mr Nomura rushing this and I hope Disney can get off his back persuading him to make the new KH3 game soo soon. Damn you Corporations! Let him finish his own project! From what I can tell from the violence we've heard about so far we're looking at a 15 or M rating (comparing it to MGS2 and the version of American Subsistence) if any of this gets into the final cut. I can see why they its a spin off from the main series.
XIII on the other hand doesn't seem to be having such an impresive trailer being shown right now but I wasn't there and I thought that the Versus trailer was going to be boring so I could be proved wrong! Obviously we have a new character being revealed but it was still just added footage from the E3 and TGS trailers. At least we now have some storyline which makes it a little less vague and we have it semi-confirmed she is called Lightning but i refuse to add "The" to the begining of it.
They also have some photos of the closed mega theatre which looks like its just the same one from TGS. :P

I really feel like scaling those walls right now...<_<
It looks like Agito just had the same trailer as at TGS but then again I'm not gonna lose sleep over that.
For me it's about neck and neck but only because we have a real trailer at a decent resolution for XIII and we actually know some things about it while Versus is still pretty mysterious but has an amazing trailer with the Nomura factor added.
Come on Toriyama and Nomura! Fight for our Love! :D
EDIT: Hmmm FF-XIII.net has posted the fanart as news now. Also they sourced us for the 2 previous news posts but now they replaced our link. :blink: Looks like they haven't changed the link in their forum post though. How weird.

Nice, can't wait to see him in details. They quit sourcing us because they found a real translation. We will put up a summary when Jump Festa ends.
Lol, I wish just as much as you versusxiii^-^
BTW: Compared to fryday we went up 233% in hits while FFXIII "only" went up 135%. They are still bigger then us but its no longer that huge leap. (1k hits compared to 1,35k hits) Yatta^^

I dont know why... but i feel very dissapointed on how the new guy "may" look like... I'm tired of blond too O.o (and he saves Lightning which kinda lowered my hype for the game)... I hope he ain't THE main character of the game (O[]o)""
Ah well.. i guess thats just me ^^"

Dec 17 2006, 07:12 PM
Yea I know I hate hs design to. Why can't they give the "main charater" brown or black hair for once. <.< Wow he saves Lighting to, I thought she was supoesed to dystroy mankind, she sloudn't need saving. -_- I just wish they weren't in a closed theter why square .......WHY!? Btw why is Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children still in the closed theter? I thought they released the "complete" version in japan already.

It seams that Lightning is able to handle the soldiers alone so she won't need "saving". I would see the new character just as her partner.

Dec 20 2006, 01:50 AM
Yeah he looks alot like him. I guess Nomura isn't 100% original with alot of his character designs. It would be pretty lame if she was being saved by the heroic male. She looks like she can handle herself and who the hell can beat a girl who controls gravity?

Why is it that her name has to be "Lightning" code name or real name whatever it still suck, I hope they change it and by the way anyone know how I could see the omega close door theater thing? or a link would be nice. I still need to know how to post the message with picture insert, please and for the last time anyone please help me with it, please I'm desparate right here. And what with the new character looking like Seifer, I rather refer Cloud or that new guys from FFvXIII, not that I hate Seifer or anything it just weird that all.

Her name is Lightning because there is already a Cloud. There is also a Squall and Tidus. So Nomura and Kitase(i think) pretty much love stupid ass nature names. Not that I'm complaining(which actually I am), I would hate it even more if someone was named Sakura.

Dec 20 2006, 10:19 AM
The name Lightning is a pretty pathetic one. :/ After everything theyve come up with, the best thing they can come up with is Lightning.
But yeah, Sakura would be worse :p

Dec 20 2006, 04:30 PM
Maybe she doesn't have a real name, just the codename
