Title: Final Fantasy X-2? What the...!
Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on October 17, 2002, 08:31:37 AM
News appeared on Vandal, i\'ll try to translate:

Rumors don\'t only ascend as the foam, they also run quickly. It was confirmed yesterday that Square would present a new RPG game next week, and the rumor is the following one, of course not confirmed: Final Fantasy X-2, a new version of the game of Square launched for PS2 one year ago (and the past May 29th in Spain).  
 
As it seems, this game -even not confirmed, we repeat - it would happen in the same world of Final Fantasy X but two years later, with a changed world and with Yuna as main character. The reappeared machines would be among the novelties of that world, that which bears the existence of rentable transport vehicles. Among the novelties, the rumor affirms that it will include more action, and that for example Yuna will be able to jump and to climb; there will also be new backgrounds regarding FFX, as an enormous castle, and a changed combat system .  
 
The launching of the game would be in March of next year, of course in Japan. Let us remember that this is a rumor, so it could be one of points that have turned out to be false. We will maintain you informed.  


Do you remember the picture of TGS? Who knows...

Sounds like a load of BS to me. Even in the unlikely event that it is true, I probably wouldn\'t buy it (still got loads to do on ffx yet).

This sounds like the biggest bunch of BS...I don\'t believe in info on a game that hasn\'t been released in at least 10 other places.

I would be excited if they released some complete CG\'s for the ending of Final Fantasy X...because the ending was rather vague and left me with questions...and I would love to see at least a little more story...this was a great game...

Yes, there are 2 Final Fantasy X spin-offs being made, and one of them stars Yuna as the main character (the other stars Rikku?).

I still believe that photo is a fake tho.

I used that picture to make a wallpaper, so I erased the parts of the pic that were bad, like the roof of TGS room and so. I have not the original picture, but it must be in the thread I opened when a web showed that pic... let\'s look for the thread...

Post by: Unicron! on October 18, 2002, 02:26:28 PM
So it is true?

Yuna isnt ment for such a game.I find it a stupid idea.Imagine Yuna doing things like Dante or Lara.Very very stupid to have an innocent,calmy Yuna in FFX and then the opposite character of hers in another game.

BTW:The graphics look improved in the ads I think.

182Ways, thanx for the pics, never seen before.

It\'s advertised in TGS, there are rumors about an action FFX version, there is a short preview in those 182Ways pictures... but Bobs can\'t believe it.

The picture isn\'t fake, Bobby. It was indeed a huge poster at TGS booth for Square. Scarey, indeed.

Here is something I found at gameforms (http://www.gameforms.com/games/ps2/ffx-2/preview.php)   today..

Quote
Having saved the world once, Yuna now sets off on an adventure of self-discovery, trying to find something that interests her. She does so with two unnamed female companions, one fighting with a sword and the other some kind of shoulder-mounted weapon. But as they travel, a new evil is brewing in Spira, and the three will be called on to save the land from it again.

If the characters are mostly new, the locations should be instantly familiar. Kilika and many other towns from the original will be visitable again, and some will play a significant role in the new story. These will have changed somewhat since the defeat of Sin, with temples and shrines now openly using once-forbidden machinery. Monsters you\'ve seen before will also appear to challenge Yuna again, proving video game enemies do learn slowly.

The battle system is set for a still-unknown revision, but Square promises things will be more realistic. The biggest known changes are a number of new abilities available on the field map, allowing Yuna and friends to to "climb," "jump," and "run," all pulled straight from the action/adventure style of gaming. No details are yet available on their uses, but the gameplay promises to be something more than FFX with different heroes.

Now that Square is finally making a direct sequel to a Final Fantasy, they don\'t seem to be holding back. One of the most quiet heroines in RPG history in skimpy short shorts and wielding guns as big as her head? This could get very, very interesting. FFX-2 is set for a March 2003 release in Japan, so expect many more details soon.


You can also find artwork and some tiny screenshots.

rpgamer: Speculation is currently that Square will formally announce everything about their first ever Final Fantasy storyline spinoff at their conference on the 22nd, this Tuesday

Well i dont know about all of you and honestly i dont really care but if they do it right i think it could be somewhat "interesting". I dont know about the whole gun thing but it would be interesting to see the world after ti.... i mean the end of ffX cause i thought the ending was ...ho hum. The Rikku game on the other hand might not be as fun, personally speaking because she doesnt have as much depth and impact as yuna but w/e. Thats my 2 cents.

Square were giving away a poster with that image at (as said earlier) TGS!!! It said so in a news story on IGN and other places! It isn\'t fake.

Scans from some mag, don\'t tell me these are fake too (see the first reply)

They are making a FFX spin off starring Yuna instead of FF7 starring the great mightyu Sephiroth?Bastards.

Umm... Sephiroth died at the end of it...

Would make for a pretty boring game... unless... they did it Weekend at Bernies style!!

The look, and the fact he [sp]killed Aeris[/sp].

And Sephiroth not deep???  Come on Nu, he has so much history, and so much background to him, all that he (thinks he) is fighting to achieve.  If you say Sephiroth isn\'t deep, you might as well say Cloud isn\'t deep.  Calling them 2-D gives you the impression that he has just one day said "Well, This cereal SUCKS!  I\'m taking over the world to create BETTER cereal!!" then you never hear from him again until the final boss fight (or something :D).  These characters have personality.  Probably more so than most other RPG\'s (not all).

Unicron, in what possible way would there be to play as Sephiroth before Final Fantasy 7 without completely having holes in it\'s own plot, and also making new holes in FF7\'s plot??

I have gone over many ideas for a prequal, and the only possible time for one to occur would be during the great war.  But then you couldn\'t play as Seph ;)

I dont know they should find something.Perhaps he ressurrected from the life stream.Perhaps after his first confrontation with Cloud we get to see what happened to him and how he ended up being on that tree thing inside the materia.Perhaps we get to play as Sephiroth\'s spirit wandering in the spiritual world or the alternative world of the material....

btw:how could he commit kills and leave his masamune sword near his kills although he was inside the crater?(It was cool nonetheless and freaky.Added more death and mystery to him.Fear your enemy you dont know that the enemy u know).

Anyways, if there were to be a spinoff game of FF7, it would have to take place in the Great War.  This way it wouldn\'t have to clash with the events and history of FF7, and could actually clarify a lot of things about FF7 that most people wouldn\'t know.  Such as the fact that Jenova (responsible for the War in Wutai) was actually the main evil villain in FF7.  But even then, it would be hard to write around FF7.

Yeah I know.I just find it a shame we will never see him again.Especially as a graphically glorifying next generation Sephiroth.And a chance to control him.

I ll make one more effort though:D.One of his clones besides Cloud survived.He was the only succesfully complete clone.The perfect clone.Resulting to an evolution of him that he became the perfect Sephiroth........:crap:

Perhaps I ve confused him with someone else.There is one grey hair character that reminded me of him.I thought he was a kiddy version of him.Yeap Cloud looks great(since when did he have a red cloak though:p).

He was born to a mad scientist and his assistant, showered in Mako and Jenova Cells, trained and fought \'til he became the top of his class. Eventually finds out about his past(rather, bits and pieces of it), and decides to kill off all of humanity to make himself feel better(With a little influence from Jenova, which wasn\'t quite revealed then). :p Sephiroth\'s story pretty much ends there. The rest of the game you\'re following a bunch of Sephiroth clones manipulated by Jenova completely. Playing mind games with Cloud and killing a bunch of sh!t for fun.

That may seem deep for some... Maybe I\'m being unfair because I consider Jenova the real main villian of FF7... S\'possible. ;)

Nu, I consider Jenova the real main villain, also.

But Sephiroth\'s story didn\'t end until the final one on one battle with him ;).  And when he looked up with sheer terror on his face, for the first time realizing that he was vunerable, and weak.... was quite awesome :D

I didnt say the opposite.
