assuming that dragon is Bahamut, deathwing and the elder dragons would be his clone
It has been confirmed that it is Bahamut. Was there for the last hr and in game nothing happend. Squarenix just released a video when the clock struck zero.
Originally posted by cybertrucker What's up with double posting this? There is already a 5 page conversation going on with links to video. As for the vid. It's a good vid, but the character models are horrible. Not the best game trailer I have seen.
I don't really consider it a game trailer, but a cgi to show the end of an era as is titled, the character models are horrible in what way? show me what you consider better character models. Compared to some games out there, they are pretty decent.
Totally agree, it is well known that square-enix (especially the FF series) been always the leading CGI and character model creater in the industry since decades ago. They are some big name out there make good CGI once a while (blizzard for example, maybe once every year?) But square-enix been making CGI like this much more frequently and always been at the top quality level. Some people may not like the anime-ish character, but you can't deny the quality of the video base on personal taste.
Originally posted by PKJackCrow I think the thing that has drawn me and psuhed me away with square is their story telling. This might be fuuny to hear but square used to have great story telling, there was a reason that final fantasy 1 took the company from bankrupcy to where they are today. At the same time i feel that they have grown so comfortable so safe that only the failure of 14 shook them up to realize that the reason people bought their games, whether it was 1 or 2 or 6 or 7 was because it told a GREAT story even if the gameplay was a minor thing. Unfortunely in the MMO world Gameplay does weigh in as much as story amoung other things. Companies that make great single rpgs need to realize if you make a MMO it needs to be a world not what alot of these guys have brought so far.
I still think SE got good story telling, tbh FF series are probably the only RPG i play nowday that i actually read the character conversation and try to understand the story, most other I will just fast forward/skip most of the time. But imo it is a bit harder to do the story telling for MMO, solo RPG and MMORPG story telling is totally different story.
Originally posted by drivendawn Um correct me if im wrorg but deathwing shows up in warcraft 2 in 1995 I believe and bahamut is in the first final fantasy witch came out in 1987 so bahamut -> deathwing.
I think Bahamut was actually created in 1975 (in dungeons and dragons)
In Final Fantasy: Japanese release was in 1987 and came to America in 1990.
All of these dates are before Deathwing and the fact is, Bahamut is, and will always be, way cooler than Deathwing could ever hope to be, even as an airship.
Boycotting EA. Why? They suck, even moreso since 2008.
in order for this game to not fail Enix has to be in no way involved. They admit that the orginal failed because it was rushed then they state this remake will be done by 2013 which is admitting they're rushing the remake as well.
Originally posted by biggarfoot Old news travels fast. If this site wants to be on top of their game at least get the information before everyone has seen it, plenty of topics covering this since yesterday.
Your comment is old. I've seen this one all over the internet on about every news article out there. If you're going to comment, at least be constructive.
On a more serious note, I'm glad they posted this because I don't scan the internet for all gaming related news ever created. I go for MMORPG.com if anything.
Originally posted by Dahkot72 Props to Square for taking it the complete revamp route. Something EA/Bioware should have done with SWTOR. May pickup the revamp both to hopefully enjoy it and also to support the idea that redoing entirely is better than sticking to a terrible shell of a game like other companies do.
SE had a good chance to go for that as they have PS3 FF XIV launch to aim for. The alpha footage which is ciculating the web now shows that a good job has indeed been done. I think we could be talking a condole mmo treat for many.

I will be one of those people. As long as my food stamps bring me a healthy return at the pump.

Hopefully they wont overprice the relaunch.
I'd give it a try for 5$ for the first month (with no need to buy the physical game, ie: free digital download)

This is no common dragon mate, Bahamut come on !

besides the fact, that bahamut existed long time before deathwing..
bahamut actually succeeds, deathwing does not.
