Morning Hangover #55: Raymond's Confused By Final Fantasy XIII, Patrick Loves Himself Some Klonoa

Raymond Padilla: I'm back from Asia and the trans-Pacific jet-lag is totally having its way with me. Loopiness aside, I can't stop thinking about Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIII premiere party -- specifically the new gestalt mode that was shown. At E3 2009, I was miffed when Shiva turned into a motorcycle. Last week, I was similarly perplexed when Ifrit turned into a NASCAR vehicle. I'm just not getting gestalt mode at all. Maybe there's some brilliance behind it that I'm not seeing or maybe it's just a quirky Japanese thing, but right now it's all going over my head.

To me, Final Fantasy summons are supposed to be grand attacks that devastate enemies. Gestalt mode has them turning into mundane objects. I'm scared of what other gestalt modes will be. Will Ramuh turn into an electric chair? Maybe Leviathan will turn into a swirling toilet bowl? I just don't get the wackiness that is gestalt mode! Do any of you?

Patrick Klepek: I'm in-between games at the moment, having rushed through most of Scribblenauts for review and finishing Batman: Arkham Asylum over the weekend. Looking for something to pass the time last night, I popped in Klonoa for Wii, a game that's been kicking around my shelf for weeks. Man, I forgot how good Klonoa is and how depressing it is that nobody bought the Wii version. Poor Klonoa. If you like to complain about how there's nothing to play on your Wii, go buy Klonoa! The original was a brilliant platformer and Namco's done a great job updating it on the Wii.

    I still like turn based games nothing wrong with that. Just like I like starcarft I and II and when III comes out I will like it even more because they didn't change the control scheme of things. That game is a sure buy for me. I love the story line so yeah!! Uncharted 2 demo was mind blowing. Yeppers I'm glad I have that game reserved.!

    Everybody who is AWESOME must go to Joystiq NOW and watch the Brutal Legend intro that is posted. OMG jeez this game is going to be the hammerfall to these 'metal' bands now like Creed or etc. Looks, well, f'in METAL!!

    @ ray

    this game is urking every nerve in me... theres nothing impressive about ff13 and its like SE wants to really force this game on us so they only are willing to show info on this game and not vs13 or ff14 or KH which all seem to be shaping up to be far superior games

    so is FF13 going to be another turn based RPG? I used to love games like phantasy star but it's not 1987 anymore. maybe someone could enlighten me.

    I know! Its a shame that games like this don't get any love these days. Everything has to be gray and shootable for people to buy it. I prefer light-hearted whimsical fantasy myself.

    Who played the Uncharted 2 mulit-player demo last night? I did and it was awesome. I especially loved the co-op Goldrush. Uncharted 2 will be G.O.T.Y. at most sites and magazines for sure. MW2, Halo 3: ODST, and LFD2 are just more of the same with nothing new and using the same old engines with a fresh coat of paint and the same old short campaigns and do not deserve G.O.T.Y. anywhere. Naughty Dog improved Uncharted 2 in every way over Uncharted 1 with a better engine, better graphics, longer campaign, added multi-player, added co-op, ability to record your MP matches, more dialogue, and more characters. Uncharted 2 has no equal.
