Square Enix brought their famous Closed Mega Theater to Jump Festa ’09 just so we can’t see what they’re showing. Isn’t that nice? Anyway, thankfully, we have a description of the new trailers shown for Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII from those who attended. We also have the audio from the Final Fantasy XIII trailer.
Here is your Final Fantasy XIII trailer description.
Battles are seamless.
Some new girl, has a bob cut style haircut? oriental style appearance. Seems to take a bit from Rikku in 10-2, that’s the feeling she gives off anyway.
A lot of other characters are on screen too.
Lightning working on planning a prison break from where they’re being kept; a restraint holding them from entering the main area of the Cocoon?. Lightning is planning it and Snow is taking leadership of the operation
Lightning is in a straight jacket or something. I think this is where it breaks into the original footage when they’re on the train and she takes out some of the Cocoon soldiers.
Snow is talking about his ambition to protect Sera and the people of the world but apparently, according to Lightning, Sera has already been captured by the Fal’Cie.
Because of this Lightning belts Snow
Lightning: You didn’t protect her! did you! < or something like thatSnow: therefore I came to help!
Lightning puts down her fists.
They show the battle here.
The battle is as flashy as it has been previously mentioned in small amounts in interviews etc.
The quickness and motion in the battle is the most furious and heated FF has ever seen. They were thinking along the lines of FF7AC style it seems.Shows a bit of the command, jumping is in the game as said previously but the writer of the blog says he was unable to tell how it happened.
In the Cocoon there is a warning voice being projected. It was hard to hear what was being said over the noise of the music etc.
Event scene:
Snow and Lightning help someone being taken away by a solider? Snow takes a Bazooka like weapon from a downed Soldier and delivers a counter attack.
By the way, Snow gives a machine gun to someone, the suspect being taken by the soldiers? She introduces herself as Vanilla.
Another battle, snow summons shiva and freezes stuff then completely destroys them all.
By the way, all voices are in the trailer now, for each character.
Some swift fellow was able to record the audio of the trailer from the Theater. There are two parts which you can download here: Part 1 and Part 2.
As for Final Fantasy XIII, the trailer was an extension of the trailer shown at the Tokyo Game Show this year.
