TGS '07: Square Enix shows all in closed megatheater( page 2)
Final Fantasy XIIIMuch of the trailer shown for Final Fantasy XIII was familiar from this summer's Square Enix Party. To summarize what's been revealed so far, the story of FFXIII involves a large floating circular city called the Cocoon that is protected by machines and monsters created by an all-important crystal. The people living in the Cocoon are afraid of the outside world (called the Pulse), and the Cocoon's government exiles anyone suspected to have been influenced from the outside world.

Though Square Enix's official storyline still has a lot of mysteries, it says that the crystal, which is considered the symbol of peace, guides the world by selecting people and determining their fate. The main character, Lightning, was chosen by the crystal to become mankind's enemy that would bring the world to an end.
The TGS 2007 trailer featured some additional scenes at the end that afforded us a glimpse of the outside world, the Pulse. Up until now, most scenes of the Pulse looked like a deserted area with no evidence of life, but today's trailer showed a different view. For a few short seconds, the camera panned through a sweeping landscape with a large river and trees. Huge (but rather quiet-mannered) dinosaur-like monsters were seen trundling through the river, and the camera zoomed to a nearby cliff where there was a female character with pigtails--who reminded us of previous jaunty Final Fantasy heroines like Yuffie, Selphie, and Rikku--hinting that there is human life in the Pulse as well. The trailer showed some beautiful CG imagery, but no in-game graphics, so we'll have to keep waiting to see what Final Fantasy XIII really looks like.
The trailer ended with the words "For PlayStation 3 Only" appearing on the screen, stressing the platform exclusivity of the title.
Final Fantasy Versus XIIISquare Enix also gave up new footage for another game that's exclusive to the PlayStation 3, Final Fantasy Versus XIII. The trailer began with the words "This is a fantasy based on reality," and indeed, we saw scenes of characters on cell phones driving in luxury cars down elevated city highways at night. That was the end of the realism, though, as we saw the spiky-haired main character then doing battle with machinegun-toting soldiers. The main character was able to stop bullets in mid-air and teleport from place to place qiuckly while doing battle.
While previous trailers have shown only cityscapes, at TGS we got to see a freeway in a sandy deserted area, with a row of broken power poles running on the side. The road leads to a bridge that has collapsed into a river--or perhaps a flood has come in and covered the roadway itself. While the scene looked quite different from the urban nightscape that we were shown in the past, they both have in one thing in common: there are no people other than the main characters present.
The trailer also showed a few new characters; an irreverent blond man described as a fugitive in a white shirt and gray vest that smiled a lot, carried a snub-nosed shotgun, and hung around the black-costumed protagonist like a friend. There was also a long-haired brunette with a frilly skirt who seemed to be waiting for the protagonist in the city, but then scowled, pointed a sword towards him, and amassed an energy field behind her when he arrived. Another scene showed a room full of men in suits at a conference table in an ornate, cathedral-like meeting room, though no hints were given as to whom they are. Their presence had the ring of importance and perhaps menace to it, as if they're mafia or illuminati members.
Again, the trailer looked amazing--but it was all pre-rendered CG. We'll have to keep waiting to glimpse Versus XIII itself.
Dissidia: Final FantasyDissidia: Final Fantasy's TGS trailer was based on the video shown a few months back at Square Enix Party 2007, but with one big difference: Squall Leonhart from Final Fantasy VIII and Firion from Final Fantasy II were seen going against each other in combat, confirming yet another two Final Fantasy heroes that will be in the game. The game is still announced as a work in progress with no release date announced.
Parasite Eve: The 3rd BirthdaySquare Enix had a fresh new trailer for the Parasite Eve sequel that was announced in the summer, "Parasite Eve: The 3rd Birthday." The mobile game is currently in development with Hajime Tabata as director and Yoshinori Kitase as executive producer.
The 3rd Birthday's trailer started off peacefully inside a small beautiful white chapel. A blond young lady is seen in a wedding dress, walking up to the Alter (we're guessing that she's Aya Brea, though her rendering looked a bit different from her past titles). She turns around, and sees that the chapel's door is opened. A man is standing there holding another person in his arms, although his features are hidden in shadow. The blond lady pulls out a gun, with her wedding ring flying into the air as she does so. Gunshots are heard, and blood leaks on the floor, tainting the wedding ring.
The trailer was rendered in high-quality CG, but we didn't get to see any in-game footage yet. No distribution period was announced either, so it might be a while before we get to see this mobile phone game in actionSquare Enix Party.
