Final Fantasy Xlll-2 Announced


This is a great news for all RPG lover!!!Square Enix just announced one month ago about the new released of Final Fantasy XIII-2,the sequel of the FFXIII.

Final Fantasy XIII-2​ is upcoming published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, and currently being developed by the company's 1st Production Department. Due to be released in Japan in 2011 and North America as well as Europe in Winter 2011, it is the sequel to Final Fantasy XIII. The game will once again feature Lightning as the main character. Square Enix Europe has said that the game "exceeds Final Fantasy XIII in every aspect", including the battle system.

The game was officially announced on January 18, 2011, with a teaser trailer and a logo at the Square Enix 1st Production Department Premier in Tokyo, Japan by director Motomu Toriyama(same director of Final Fantasy X and X-2).

The teaser trailer showed Lightning, outfitted in armor, drawing her weapon and engaging a mysterious male warrior. The teaser was officially released on January 20, 2011, and can be viewed on the game's official websites.

Talk of a sequel came as early as January 2010; the game's art director mentioned in an interview that the amount of working art assets that were cut from the final product was enough to make up an entire game.In March 2010, during an interview with Kitase, producer for the game, he was asked about the possibility of a sequel. In response, he replied: “If we could do a XIII-2, we could direct all our attention to the story and refine what we have already built.” On December 15, 2010, Tetsuya Nomura, character designer for the game, released a drawing of Lightning, along with the words “She must not be forgotten”.

Plot:

The game takes place after the events of Final Fantasy XIII, with its overall storyline set to be darker than the original. The game will feature returning characters with Lightning as the main protagonist once again, along with other characters who will return “with major and unexpected changes". The game will send players on a journey to locate the gate to the invisible world. The goddess Etro will play a pivotal role in the plot.
Who is the guy beside Lightning??New character has been revealed!?

FFXIII story spoilers ahead.

Another major theme to be explored in XIII-2: The fates of Vanille and Fang. "The fact that the party was saved by their sacrifice is a scar on all of their hearts," Toriyama told Famitsu. We'll cover how all of their friends are handling it, not just Lightning, and there'll be a large number of new characters as well. I think we'll see more dark and mysterious situations than in FFXIII."

Certainly, the Lightning of FFXIII-2 is different from before -- she may've lost her l'Cie powers at the end of the previous game, but now she's back and dressed skimpier than ever. "I can't go into details, but she might become something even greater than l'Cie [in XIII-2]," Toriyama said. "Her outfit is certainly more revealing, but she still cherishes her usual refined, noble manner. The clothing in general is more fantasy-influenced in this game, and the new weapons will match with that style."

The "feather" motif of the preview trailer (screenshot shown above) served to make Lightning look a bit angelic, especially compared to the far darker appearance of the new character shown in the film. In the interview, however, Toriyama warned against jumping to conclusions. "Who can say which is the angel and which is the devil?" he laughed. "Lightning has a new mission in this game, and [the new character] is going to be in her way as she tries to accomplish it. He's a strong character, capable of fighting on even terms with the heroine who saved the world."

How will it all turn out? Japanese folks will find out pretty soon, as the game's set for a 2011 release in the region. "We made people wait a long time for FFXIII, so we're trying our best to get this game out as quickly as we can," Toriyama said. "Outside of that, we are trying to implement as many of the suggestions given by players, and new ideas we've come up with, into the game as we can. The travelling system is completely different, too -- we're making a truly living world, with lots of people living all the way to the far corners of the game. I think it's a new style of RPG we'll be able to show people here."

PS1 RPG游戏之经典

RPG游戏可说是游戏中的霸者,对玩者的影响尤为其深.在此,我要谈论的是我曾经攻陷过的PS1 RPG游戏之精华与其独特之处(又一篇长篇大论文==ll)

人生中的第一个RPG游戏正是中文版的射雕英雄传,亦是我曾经攻陷无数次的唯一RPG.射雕英雄传在当时的PS1时代中,可说是画面精美,制作优良的RPG游戏.独特的金庸世界观,加上日式唯美的人设,郭靖,黄蓉等角色惟妙惟肖,再加上全中文配音,实在无愧为最令人怀念的RPG游戏.故事世界观自不多说,讲述的是蒙古出生的中原之子,郭靖如何出城闯荡,拜师练武,命运的邂逅,总计融缩至九章情节,绝不冷场,每章故事紧凑,可惜的是章节太短,无法将原著精彩部分一一还原,虽然制作成本低,但制作商是诚心为金庸迷创造出的世界第一亦是唯一的金庸RPG单机游戏.

靖康之耻

其中,穿插了几个小游戏,让玩者不亦乐乎,例如第一章之射虎射雕,第三章练降龙十八掌,第四章黄蓉招亲比武等,让人记忆犹新(笑).顺带一提,黄蓉的人设与配音实在太"优"了,超萌!!只是听黄蓉喊一声"靖哥哥,加油",心里为之一振.战斗部分采用传统式回合指令制,武功系统方面归纳为三大即外功,内功,轻功;胜负则分为外功胜轻功,内功胜外功,轻功胜内功.战斗中可配上"癖好"系统,辅助武功,让战斗生色不少.
超萌的黄蓉


不知何时,才会有另一个金庸RPG游戏出现呢?

最''牛''的最后一战==


沉迷于射雕英雄传一段时间后,另一个为之着迷就是牧场物語(Harvest Moon: Back to Nature),是由日本游戏商MMV开发的游戏,这是一个经营式的生活游戏.还记得小六时,全班都疯狂于牧场物語,天天与好友讨论农夫之道^__^.故事很简单,控制主角(农夫)去经营爷爷遗留下来的农场,村长要你在三年内做出成绩来,不然的话就会被收地封场.其实,当时PS1的牧场物語有两个版本(很多人不知),一是英文重版的男子版与二是日文原版的女子版,我玩的是女子版.身为一个农夫,管理农场自然是忙碌的,这游戏采用了时间,根据日历,分为了四季.你需要根据不同的季度去种植种子,先买种子,清除杂草,开垦土亩,播种浇水,过后再计算收成之日.(记得要天天浇水喔^__^),若遇上雨天,我非开心不可,因为省下浇水的一番功夫.不同的种子,价值不同,收成日子不同,所以需要计划好才可撒种耕植!!

女子版的牧场物語

不但如此,养牲畜亦是农场收入之一,鸡,牛,羊每天需喂食;收成鸡蛋,牛奶(经过机器加工成乳酪),羊毛,一刻都不可拖延.还有,家畜如狗,马是农场表现的重要因素之一,千万别忘记天天去放狗与刷马(笑)^__^.更可笑是为了增建农场,需要自己去山上砍伐木材,然后还要带回农场累积,等资金与木材足够后,就可命令木匠为你起工。夏季来临时,也是整个游戏最为忙碌的时候,需要天天去上山采价值不菲的野山植物,带回去农场。

愉快又忙碌的农夫生活

需要一番努力才可''泡'上手

日历中还含有不少有趣的节日如:游泳节(永远赢不到==),番茄节,料理节,牲畜节(赛马,赛狗,斗鸡等),花火节等等都令游戏增添乐趣。此外,在此游戏中成家立室是头等大事,送花给心仪之人,然后成婚建立家庭,连诞下婴儿都可做到!!!牧场物語可说是充满了惊奇,也是经营生活RPG游戏的顶端。可惜的是他的系列作却无以为继,可悲啊.....

PS1优秀而有诚意的RPG游戏数不胜数,当中Squaresoft可说是走在RPG游戏的前端,Chrono Cross正是其中Squaresoft的诚意制作之一。话说Chrono Cross的开头动画确实很让人起“劲”,精彩绝伦的动画场面加上超眩的配乐,还未玩就隐隐感受到它发出强烈的“杀”气,是一款RPG游戏迷不可错过的大作。结果Chrono Cross真的让我欲罢不能,事隔那么多年后,我还在念念不忘。一开头,就因时间转移,主角Serge阴阳差错下去到了另一个世界。这个世界与原本的世界并没有不同,只是相识的人都不认得Serge,因为在这个时空不同的世界里Serge早就死了。
命运安排下的邂逅

为何Serge会穿越时空,来到了一个不同次元的同一个世界?为了寻找答案,Serge不得开始在另一个世界中冒险并遇上形形色色的同伴,一起寻找返回自己世界的道路,理解自己的命运。当中牵涉了命运与时间,家族,亲情与友情,人生道理,是一款令人深思又引起共鸣的游戏.....

曲折离奇的剧情

游戏画面异常精美,有些场面还被3D化了,所有地点地图精心设计,非常优美如:Sea of Eden,Terra Tower,Chronopolis.....

背景音乐动听贴切,人设亦不赖,只是游戏出场人物过多,导致只对于男女主角Serge,Kid较为印象深刻,算是美中不足。至于战斗系统方面,采用了Squaresoft一贯的即时战斗,但加上了独特Element元素系统(类似魔法系统),令战斗更加变幻无测,如何运用好攻击或Element元素,需要一定的策略,才可轻松获胜。Element元素归类为六种即炎(红),冰(蓝),风(青),电(黄),宇宙(白)和地(黑),并互相克制.每个Element元素分为8个等级,从LV1-LV8...
无比爽快的战斗

Chrono Cross的特点就是自由度与探险度高,角色的最后必杀技需要互相穿越两个世界才可得到,还有隐秘同伴,敌人,道具,就连真正结局,最后大头目也大费周章,需要特殊条件下使用最终元素Chrono Cross才可获得圆满结局.顺带一提,结尾很感动加上动听的片尾曲,令人不想放下操控器controller,动手关机reset,呆坐一阵,回味细嚼整个游戏过程中的悲伤,快乐,刺激,然后才心有不舍地为它落幕.......

My Review:
Brother and i really like this manga because of its mystery and suspense plot.Right from the start,we were shocked by the kidnapped of seven unrelated student inside the school building at night.All of them have special ability,their power was related to this test and revealed their past eventually.Not only that,through this test,this 7 student may have changes in their mind and developed.Thanks to its suspense plot,this manga was starting being famous in Japan or just because its published on Japan famous magazine Shonen Weekly Jump?Whatever reason,you sure don't want miss up this quality manga and been attracted for it.

STORY:

Based on the light novel by Hirasaka Yomi & Buriki.

Hasegawa Kodaka has transferred schools, and he's having a hard time making friends. It doesn't help that his blond hair tends to make people think he's a delinquent. One day, he runs into his bad-tempered solitary classmate Yozora while she's talking animatedly to her imaginary friend Tomo. Realizing that neither of them have any actual friends, they decide that the best way to alter this situation is to form a club and start recruiting.

That is how "Rinjinbu" was formed, a club specifically designed for people who don't have very many friends. As other lonely classmates slowly join their little club, they'll try to learn how to build friendships through cooking together, playing games, and other group activities. But will this group of relationship-challenged misfits really be able to get along?

在学校总是独来独往的羽濑川小鹰,在一次偶然的情况下,目击到总是摆出一副臭脸的美少女三日月夜空一个人很开心地自言自语。 小鹰和夜空聊了一下该怎么交朋友的话题,没想到夜空竟然凭着莫名其妙的行动力成立一个以交朋友为目的的问题社团"邻人部“。而且也不知道是哪里搞错,问题美少女们还接二连三地申请入社!大家卯起来打美少女游戏电玩,一起去游泳、一起演戏。似乎一直没有抓对要领的他们,果真能交到朋友吗?
