For the last few days, the official Final Fantasy XIII site has been counting down the days until Square Enix released a brand new trailer to the public. Well the countdown has ended, and the trailer is finally here!

It's a whopping 7 minutes long and features a bunch of brand sparkin' new gameplay footage, cutscenes, and characters! This trailer certainly doesn't disappoint.

    I'd be a lot less apprehensive if they didn't all look related to one another... and the love interest (Serah?) didn't look 10 years old.

    Everytime I think I'm set against this game, a new trailer comes along and changes my mind. Still on the edge, but if it comes at a convenient time next year I'll probably get it, just to see if its worthy of the hype.

    Is it their plan to release a new trailer everyday? Jeez. Though, this is probably the best trailer to date.

    The first part gave me Golden Saucer flashbacks

    EDIT: Also, finaly a FF game where you can walk around as any of the heroes/heroines.

    Unbelievably amazing. This is definitely like the modern FFVII. I can't wait to get it, and I would love for a nice translation of the video.

    Am I the only one turned off by this video? Don't get me wrong the gameplay looks freaking perfect but I don't think I can handle having twenty different over-the-top plot twists mixed with fifty million love triangles and a moral about war being bad and love and friendship being cool but also hurting in forty-eight hour long shoved down my throat cinematics without exploding.

      I didn't sense a love triangle anywhere...

        It's an FF game; there's going to be at least ten.

      You just described nearly every jRPG ever made.

        That was the point. A good story is always a plus but JRPGs tend to take it too far, and that's why this trailer's beginning to put me off.

    Love the trailer (FREAKIN' DINOSAURS) but I think I'm gonna draw the line at reading the translation.

    I sense a media blackout coming soon...

      Why? What could they possibly attempt to shut down?

        Nooooooo. I meant for me.

        I think it's getting to a point where I don't wanna know anymore about the game before I get to play it for myself.

          I've been at that point for a while now which is why I avoid the forum! LOL I'm still uncertain if this will be a title I pick up on launch though....will have to wait to see what bonuses, if any, they offer.

          orite. Silly me.

          So, if Serah dies, do you want me to share the glorious news with you or just keep it to myself?

          dohoho... Kill the bitch.

    Anyone else think that the dome at the start reminded you of the Blitzball dome in Zanarkand?

    Woah, his hand is the size of her head!

    And this does have a rather FFVIII feel. Good for some, bad for others.

    This trailer makes the game look amazing!

    I am really excited for it now.

    And why does Hope want Snow to die?

      He touched him in a bad place when Lightning wasn't around

      Because he's a stupid child who didn't understand that his mother was already deaders before he dropped her.

    The more I see the more I like, with the exception of Snow looking mid 20s and Serah mid teens.
