Gisteren hadden we nog het opmerkelijke nieuws over dat er veel geknipt is voor de uiteindelijk versie van Final Fantasy XIII. Dat was niet het opmerkelijkste, maar wat het nou wel was is dat wat er is weggehaald genoeg was voor een tweede ‘aparte’ game naast FFXIII.

Vandaag is er weer mooi nieuws opgedoken over FFXIII, want de al in Japan verkrijgbare RPG is nu geheel klaar voor ons. De game is helemaal Engelstalig door middel van nasynchronisatie. Dit heeft FFXIII directeur Motomu Toriyama op de officiële Engelse Final Fantasy XIII verteld.

Om dit gelijk te vieren is er een nieuwe trailer beschikbaar gesteld. Natuurlijk is het een Engelstalige trailer van Final Fantasy XIII en kan je deze hieronder bekijken.

MESSAGE FROM MOTOMU TORIYAMA

Dear gamers in Europe,

FINAL FANTASY XIII overseas version is finally completed.
I am sorry for the long wait.
At present, members of the development team in Japan are on a New Year holiday while awaiting an approval for the master disc.

The overseas version was developed simultaneously with the Japanese one as we wanted to ensure that it comes out as soon after the Japanese release date as possible.

In the completed FINAL FANTASY XIII, the features which were popular amongst gamers at our survey last summer have been enhanced even further.

One of those features is characters’ facial animations, which work as the core of any human drama. Their movements are completely synchronised with the English lines and, due to this, each scene in the game is truly spectacular. Another feature to be mentioned is FFXIII’s new strategic battle system, Paradigm Shift.

Just like the Japanese version, this system adds elements of real-time actions to the battle, which has been made almost over-the-top, so that the more you use the shift, the more exhilarating the combat becomes.
The release date is now approaching.

Don’t get distracted. You will see the truth when you hold it in your hands.
Please be patient a little longer for the “day of a battle against the fate”!

Motomu Toriyama

Director
FINAL FANTASY XIII
