Final Fantasy XIII TGS Live Premiere...was a disapointment

October 12, 2008 in News comments 12

It has been fair to say that TGS hasn't been on all that great in terms of content. Hell even E3 which was average for the most part, has seemed to top this much hyped videogame show. Many hopes were pinned on the Final Fantasy XIII Live Premiere Event which occurred today on October 12th, but word is coming in this too was a disappointment. The event featured some trailers without voices, and then some music to be present in the game, along with an interview with Masashi Hamauzu on how to compose a song. The event didn't even manage to run the promised length, finishing 25 minutes early.

According to ff13.xrea.jp, the Live Premiere Final Fantasy XIII event that was taking place today only lasted 20 minutes and included the trailers without voices. The event lasted 25 minutes less than it was supposed to and included no new announcements from Square-Enix. They did preview two new tracks including the main theme though. Sadly, that was the main point of the show...it was a live music event. We'll update you as we get more info.

    This is a fine example of why Squeenix needs a bit of competition. After nearly two years of being "strung along" with barely any info, fans are starting to get pissed off. People are getting sick of Squeenix's antics and sick of and FFXIII before it's even released. >_> Fair enough if Squeenix don't want to saturate us in too much info, but any info would be nice at the moment (It's funny that I find myself saying this after every event Squeenix attends). Squeenix think that we're interested in how to compose a song? We. Don't. Care. We're gamers - We just want info on games - New trailers, new screenshots, and those new voice-actors that they've been hyping up for the last few weeks. Every other company can manage to do it, why can't Squeenix?

      As long as its not a main goal for Level 5 competing with SE, and it happens naturally, then im all for it. But otherwise no.

    Well, I personally wouldn't mind learning how to compose a song.

    But yeah, more info before that little unnecessary bit of event fun >_>

    As much as i want to play this game and are looking forward to it, i really hope it bombs. The only way SE is going to act professional and quit shiting on fans with bullshit promises, is to hit them in their wallet. Then maybe theyll try to please fans instead of dissapointing them.

      No one is going to do that over Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy was the game that saved Squaresoft from bancruptcy back in the 80s. Its very name was meant to be the last sign off from the company. The final game they would ever release before shutting its doors forever. Ironic twist of fate, no?

        Actually, there is some debate over that.

        That was the first on I heard (the bit about it being their 'last ditch attempt'), but I also heard that the 'real' reason was that it was some major contributor's final project (at least, with that company, I dunno).

        Does anyone have direct quotes, straight from the horse's mouth about this?

    The day that some actual real gameplay is shown is the day that I think I'll keep a close eye on the development of the game, but FF, and JRPGs in general, have a nasty habit of sending out cinematics and calling them "previews"...
