Re-Romanized Title

Please remove the words "Fainaru Fantajī Sātīn" from the title reference in the article. These are all over the place in Final Fantasy articles, and they're simply transliterated katakana, do not represent any actual Japanese words, and (personally) make me cringe to see them. They're useless as a pronunciation guide, since the actual pronunciation of it is intended to be the English title.Dewgy (talk) 12:51, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

"Personally" appears to be the keyword here, as you haven't really looked at getting consensus to take this action - specifically, you don't appear to have noticed that most Japanese video games with such pronunciations have these; for instance, other Square Enix titles such as Dragon Quest X and Kingdom Hearts. I will go through and revert your edits, and please look to get consensus at (for instance) Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games so that a consensus can be reached for all video game articles, rather than what you've now created - some having them, some not. 62.56.88.105 (talk) 07:12, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

720p cutscenes? uncompressed 1080p?

Sorry but it does not make sense

This needs to be changed: "Final Fantasy XIII on the PlayStation 3 will feature lossless audio and uncompressed 1080p cinematic cutscenes on a single Blu-Ray disc, while the Xbox 360 version will feature 720p cinematic cutscenes using Bink video and be divided into three DVDs." Cinematics are 720p and 1080p PS3 is somewhat compressed...

Well, we go with what the sources say, which do come from Square Enix themselves, which is that the PS3 version will be completely uncompressed. If you have a source for your claims, feel free to add it to this page. --The Taerkasten (talk) 18:47, 23 February 2010 (UTC)


I realize that while some of the sources are directly from Square themselves, 1080p uncompressed video simply would not fit on a 50 GB blu-ray in an significant amounts. At 24-bits color and 24 fps, the data rate required would be 1.2 Gbps or 142 MB/sec, only 6 minutes of video would fit on the entire dual-layer blu-ray. According to this source, the game has nine hours of cut scenes, with six of those created on the fly by the in-game engine, leaving three hours of pre-rendered video. (Or 40+ minutes based on the source that states Bink video.) What the source says is simply not possible, and this should be taken out of the article on those basis.

Square has been giving mixed messages. For example, most quote lossless audio on the PS3, but this interview with the director and producer says Dolby Digital 5.1.

Resolution on Xbox 360 is 720p?

here's the source that on ps3 is 720p: http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2010/02/12/final-fantasy-xiii-your-questions-answered/ but here says xbox 360 version will be 576p (not yet official): http://www.presstart.it/ps3/final-fantasy-xiii-superiore-su-ps3.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.11.103.122 (talk) 15:25, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Actually the information is poorly cited when referring to "576p". The article's referenced Digital Foundry article [1] does not say the native resolution is 576p, only that the internal 3d renderer for the xbox360 version sampled it at 1024x576, then scaled up to the proper native resolution. Even the 2d elements (menus, maps, gauges) are rendered 720p normal. It is NOT the same as 576p, which is a broadcast standard. Many xbox360 games, have used this method, most notably Tekken6, and Halo3. I'd suggest changing it and/or at least removing references to 576p.--Scottind (talk) 23:32, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
If it's upscaled, then it's not native. There is a part in the Digital Foundry link which explains about the HUD, and other parts. Read the article fully. --The Taerkasten (talk) 17:20, 15 March 2010 (UTC)


On the back of the PS3 box it says 1080P, not 720P as stated in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RocketSledder77 (talkcontribs) 22:28, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Edit in Gameplay/Battle System section

I do not believe FF7 should be referenced in this article. You could make the exact same comparison to any other Final Fantasy and it would still be just as true. " The system stemmed from a desire to create battles similar to those found in Final Fantasy VII Advent Children.[11] Like those in Final Fantasy XII, enemies are integrated into the world environment. However, unlike Final Fantasy XII, battles do not take place in the same "dimension." Instead, there is a short transition and players are transported to a new battle screen, separate from the main playing world.

Review/Reception Discussion

Keeping quotes like "it's next gen Final Fantasy and that's all you need to know" has little encyclopedic value - instead, review summaries should concentrate on which game elements the reviewer did/didn't like. With regards the Dengeki review, it's worth noting they did not give the game a score of 120/100 as this was apparently just a comment by one of the eleven reviewers, as can be seen in this thread. Without a reliable English source commenting on the final Dengeki review (presumably that comes with a finalised score), it becomes open to interpretation so unless one can be found I would suggest limiting the description of Dengeki's comments to what they had to say about the gameplay, graphics etc. SynergyBlades (talk) 18:27, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Forum is not a reliable source. I will add a source as to dengeki review.--Geregere (talk) 18:33, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Indeed it isn't, but then nor is the current link, so something more suitable should be found. What did the actual review end up giving the game? SynergyBlades (talk) 18:38, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
There is no third-party verification for this assertion that the final review score was 120/100 over it being one of the reviewer's comments, so I've put in the relevent templates to have someone confirm this. I suggest that if there's no movement on this after the month, it ought to be removed. SynergyBlades (talk) 18:49, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

I have the magazine and several reviewers explained about the game and a reviewer gave a 120. I added a new source. It says The score is 39/40 from Famitsu, and 120/100 from Dengeki.--Geregere (talk) 19:14, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't see the 120 comment in the new source. An English-speaking source commenting on a review score of 120 would be appreciated. Also, if you're saying a single reviewer from those that reviewed it at Dengeki gave the game 120, then it is being dishonest to suggest that the review ultimately concluded with a final review score of 120, and it should be noted that it was infact one of the reviewers who commented as such. I'd appreciate some other editors' input on this one. SynergyBlades (talk) 19:18, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

I do not see your point. In most gaming websites or magazines just 1 editor gives a score. This time FF13 was a very big title so 11 editors played the game and they wrote about FF13 in 50 pages. As for the source, serach by the word "120" then you will find.--Geregere (talk) 19:24, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

The conclusion you have drawn in the article and its entry in the score table strongly implies that the Dengeki outlet as an entire unit concluded their review with the game being given 120/100, when this was actually one reviewer's comment, so this isn't the case - it is thus worth noting as such. Your new .cc source is also not a reliable one per WP:VG/RS - we could equally use the forum post I linked to with someone else's translation that said it was not the final review score. This is why we need some reliable third-party source that can verify or comment upon the review so that it is unambiguously explained, as merely adding your own interpretation of the review means you would be engaging in WP:OR. SynergyBlades (talk) 19:33, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

It is you that are making OR. According to your theory, 120 is not the score then what is the score of dengeki. There should be another score. Just show me the dengeki's score if you have. As I said, in most websites or magazines only one reviwer gives scores. And being not included in WP:VG/RS does not mean it is not reliable.--Geregere (talk) 19:53, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't think you understand what the original research concept means. You have said yourself, as does that forum link (which though I agree counts as unreliable, could be just as unreliable as your own translation, which is why I said we need a reliable English third-party source for translation) that one reviewer of the eleven mentioned it deserves 120, yet the text you have added explains with no uncertainty that "they [Dengeki as whole] concluded that" 120 would not be enough. If every single reviewer of the 11 at the end of the review came together to decide and gave it this final score, I would agree, but as this is not the case I am adjusting the wording to make this explicit and it should not be present in the review scores box as such, otherwise we'd need every single reviewer's score in there (like Famitsu's four review scores can be shown).SynergyBlades (talk) 01:31, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
For your second point, that your source is not listed as reliable means that it may be challenged. Your source appeared to be some sort of obscure online shop, which is hardly a category considered reliable on Wikipedia in general. SynergyBlades (talk) 01:58, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

English wikipedia allows editors to use non English source.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable_sources

So your claim does not make sense. and You do not understand things at all. The reviewer who gave 120 is the reviewer who decides the score. You just made your own stupid rule that every 11 reviewer must give score. I repeatedlly said in most websites or magazines only one reviwer gives scores. you seem to be just trolling. and If you still challenge, just show me the dengeki's true score for FF13. you have not shown dengeki's score at all and making bullshit.--Geregere (talk) 06:33, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Remain WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF please. I have taken this to WikiProject:Video games so it can be resolved amongst consensus of the editors. Feel free to state your case there. SynergyBlades (talk) 09:13, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

It's pretty clear for me that the "reception" part is clearly non impartial and is willing to show a positive reception of the game. Something that is false because in America and Europe FFXIII is having an unenthusiastic reception (Edge, GT, GameSpot...) Worlwide, we can say the game is having a normal reception (83 in metacritics is something that truly doesn't deserve what is written here) I think that reception part must be re-written with an idea like "it had an enthusiasitc reception in Japan, but cool and bad reception in Occident". One last thing is that Dengike score is completely misplaced. Someone saying that it deserves a mark doesn't make someone giving that mark.

I agree that the 'reception' section is biased. For example, Edge's 5/10 review is represented by three cherry-picked positive quotes that create a misleading impression of what is ultimately a negative piece. Western critical reception could be fairly summarised as 'mixed'; 80-85% averages are not exceptionally positive by game criticism standards. 92.0.25.230 (talk) 14:08, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

I've removed the 360 resolution until such time as a more reliable or official source can confirm it. --The Taerkasten (talk) 16:44, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
Nothing on the link you've provided shows the 360 natively renders at 720p; remember, we are talking about the native resolution - the resolution it is rendered at in hardware before being upscaled to 720 lines high by the hardware. The fact that the image in your link is 720 lines high does not mean it is natively rendered as such. 212.225.113.32 (talk) 19:08, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
There was a link which said it (the 360 version) runs at 576p. [1] I've since removed it, until a more professional review of the game's native resolution is conducted, which would be better for this article. --The Taerkasten (talk) 19:26, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
Certainly, I'm just trying to correct what appears to be this user's misunderstanding of native vs. upscaled resolutions. 212.225.113.32 (talk) 19:32, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
That is very much appreciated, and hopefully will put an end to this for now.--The Taerkasten (talk) 19:34, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
If the image quality was simply down to bad jpeg compression, how come the HUD on the 360 version still looks sharp?

Incorrect transliteration of Sazh's name

Whoever did the character section gave the katakana of Oerba Dia Vanille (ヲルバ=ダイア・ヴァニラ) for Sazh instead of the correct one (サッズ・カッツロイ). I would have done the change myself, but the page is locked. 156.75.180.198 (talk) 20:04, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Upon further inspection there are a couple incorrect katakana transliterations. Here are the corrections

-Lightning (ライトニング, Raitoningu) -Sazh Katzroy (サッズ・カッツロイ, Sazzu Kattsuroi)

156.75.180.198 (talk) 20:16, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Would someone please correct Sazh's name. Someone has already corrected Lightning's name, but did not correct the other. It is still showing that Sazh's name in Japanese is Oerba Dia Vanille. If you need proof that his name is what I listed above, look no further than the Japanese section of FF13 that has his name transliterated in English too. It's halfway down the page. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BF%E3%82%B8%E3%83%BCXIII

Technical Issues?

How widespread are these technical issues? Do they go beyond the anecdotal into something more widespread, noteworthy of an encyclopedic article?

Plot is lacking detail of any shape or form.

The current synopsis in the article is noticably a stub. It needs to be greatly extended as it is nowhere near as complex as the true plot from the game.

Ok, I have to admit, the first comment of this section makes me want to puke (I'm not from the United States, but I still feel sorry for those who are, for having to deal with people like this)... Nevermind that, anyways, I actually came to start a section regarding the box art, but found it was already here. What I was wanting to say was, I think the north american box art should be used as the main picture in the English Final Fantasy XIII article. I know that England is a European country, but even so, I believe the North American box art would be much more suitable for this article, as NA is a much more English emerged continent than Europe. On the otherhand, a great spot for the European box art could be, for example, in the Deutsch Final Fantasy XIII article, or even the French article. In anycase, the box art for this article ought to be changed to the NA version. Indigochild 11:41, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
I dont agree. Your theory infers that English Wikipedia shoudn't include British and Australian English but American English. According to the edit history. The boxart added after the Japanese boxart is of EU version, so it's rational to keep using it in the lead infobox. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk) 23:45, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
First we should compare the sales of Australia and Britain to that of United States and Canada. (not just US)if North America made more sales during the amount of time that it was released in Europe, then yes the image could be replaced because it would be more recognizable in wikipedia.Bread Ninja (talk) 16:08, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

The boxart is the same universally, so I don't know what you're complaining about. Ffgamera - My page! · Talk to me!· Contribs 08:57, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes it actually is the same, the only difference being the NA version is rated by ESRB (and thus, displays the rating "T" rather than "16+"). I realise your probably right; changing it now wouldn't do much anyways. Indigochild 07:24, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Then what on Earth are we arguing about?! The argument about British vs American English usage on Wikipedia is an old canard and will probably still be running until doomsday. Does it really matter? As for changing the box art image for personal political reasons, I have to say I'm stultified. There are as many Europeans who regard Americans as burger-eating invasion monkeys as there are Americans who regard Europeans as cheese-eating surrender monkeys. It's got jack shit to do with the game - let's just concentrate on having a decent quality image of the art, surely? User:JulesVerne 16:23, 15 March 2010 (GMT)
Actually, to be honest, I just wanted the NA boxart because I thought they would use a different picture (Yes, the whole EU vs NA was just an excuse I made up on the spot...) When I found at that Square Enix used the same boxart worldwide, I didnt care anymore. I just dont really like the picture, lightning's expression and posture is a bit strange. She usually looks cool, but I dont find the box art very apealing. I think they should of had several cast members in it, and yeah. I'll stop blabbering nonsense now... HA!

What does removing a plot spoiler have anything to do with censorship? Throwing around words like that doesn't make your argument any less wrong.

look up WP:SPOILER. Removing information due to spoiler is the same as censoring information.

(comment from Anonymous Reader) While I agree that plot-spoiling lines should be allowed to kept in the description, I think it is important that there be a warning about spoilers. Just having the title "Story" does not warn readers that it will be the whole story of the game. (edit: after reading WP:SPOILER I see the point. I may not like it, but I see it so I erased my previous comments. Thanks Tintor2, I just wasn't being careful. We'll see if I can rely on my bad memory)

I find that to be a major spoiler that someone just decided to add, considering the game isn't out yet in the states. Can someone please take that out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lightmaat (talkcontribs) 00:09, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Asia release info for the infobox?

In this edit, the release information for Asia was removed from the infobox. I can understand why a non-English language release might not be notable enough for the lead paragraph in an English wiki; however the "Release date(s)" section of the infobox does not seem to imply that it only covers "notable" release dates. Thus I am of the inclination to restore the information about release date in Asia back into the infobox. Please discuss, especially if you disagree with me. -Pan Sola (talk) 13:56, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
