Shuyu Aria Hooked on Neo since: May 2004	Feb 25, 09 at 7:11am Monthly Magazine Bonanza - Fami Scans - Pg 2
	The Magazine Bonanza is neither monthly nor really a bonanza. I've just felt like having fun with my thread titles recently. So you may remember just recently that 3 new characters were unveiled to us, and following this are typically more in-depth news pieces in Famitsu. This time, Famitsu AND Dengeki have their respective interviews. They have both been leaked and we're still waiting for the magazine scans, but have some info. quote -The demo play time will exceed an hour, and there's different ways you can play through it - The camera can be moved freely during an event (cutscene) - Development of the game is progressing well - There's a good lookin guy yet to be revealed - The three characters (which everyone seems to hate) are just sub characters, not main characters. The camera moving during cutscenes is interesting. It sounds like it's saying that you have full spherical manipulation of the camera, but I'm actually thinking more along the lines of a button to change camera angle or in Metal Gear Solid 4, where you could zoom in and pan. But MGS4 was touchy as shit and a waste of time. Discuss whilst I lurk 4 sum skanzzzzz. Digicam shot of part of a page. You, woman doing sub-character design... You're to blame for this recent character bull? You evil creature... I had sweet and sour sauce on my pie. It was good, actually.

	The interview refers to Gadou, Reburo and Maakii; Lightning, Snow, Vanille and Sazh are safe. ------------------- How to snag a lady: With sleepy drink.

	I thought they looked ok, but i do not know who you can dislike them when you do not even know their personality in the game? -------------------

	I don't mind the look of Lebreau (Slutty-pirates 'real name' apparently), but Gadot brought the whole bunch down. Judging by his appearance I'd say his personality = Wakka-wannabe, stuck-up and thick. Okay, I'm judging a book by it's cover, but taps Square Enix logo http://www.gamegrep.com/news/18491-final_fantasy_xiii_still_on_track_further_democharacter_details/ new info; quote - Sazh has the most lines of dialogue in the game. - Sazh didn't know Lightning prior to meeting her on the train. - Due to the response of fans to the baby chocobo the devs are considering giving it more time in the game as well as giving it a role in battles. quote Our latest update on FFXIII detailed Nora, a group comprised in part by four members: Snow, Lebreau, Maqui, and Gadot (these are the official Romanized names, as listed in Famitsu). Famitsu confirms that Snow is the leader of this group, whose name comes from the Japanese word for stray dog (nora-inu). There's actually a hidden meaning in the name, Toriyama explained, but players will not learn it until events that take place after the demo. Ikeda shared some background on Nora, explaining that it was formed by youths who do not like being controlled by the holy government. Their major activity involves fighting off monsters, but they consider their role of protecting the city as somewhat of an enjoyable sport. The residents of the city place great trust in them. Monsters? Yes, Cocoon has monsters, and one of the holy government army's jobs is to deal with them. The "PSICOM" soldiers, mentioned in the last trailer, deal primarily with fighting monsters and rarely face off against human foes. The members of Nora have made it their business to save people who are being force migrated to Pulse because it turns out that their city, which is located by the shore, is believed to have taken influence from Pulse and is being purged. The members of Nora hope to stop that. Those four members mentioned above will be encountered in the demo version of FFXIII. But when playing the final version, players will encounter a fifth member, whom Toriyama joked was too cool to be revealed just yet. We can do without the fifth character as long as we get to at long last get our hands on FFXIII. The April Japanese demo can't come soon enough! -------------------

	Interesting find, do you think the "member who is too cool for the demo" is that little dude that Shuyu was talking about/cracking jokes at a couple months ago? -------------------

	Hidden meaning behind "Nora"? Lulz, waiting for the speculation surrounding Lightning's name to flare up again. Purely visually, I found the characters to be quite... ugly, to state it simply. If this is the sort of work this Ikeda woman does, I don't want it to continue. The comments of how Lebreau's (Le-bro. Lulz.) mocap actor was told to act "sensual and erotic", and this revelation that Snow's Ho Brigade are only sub-characters leads me to believe that they weren't necessarily intended to undergo any real development throughout the game and that she was going to be a Skanky Pirate the whole time and that was going to be her selling point - it's a bit disappointing. quote ShadowGuard Interesting find, do you think the "member who is too cool for the demo" is that little dude that Shuyu was talking about/cracking jokes at a couple months ago? Refresh memory plz. I find it hard to keep track of all the people, fictional or otherwise, that I demean. ------------------- How to snag a lady: With sleepy drink.

	Oh, that was talking about Goggle Twat, who is Maqui. They haven't unveiled the new guy yet, but since you seem to enjoy it (gross misinterpretation of your comments likely) I will be sure to rip into him the moment we see him. ------------------- How to snag a lady: With sleepy drink.

	God damn, the main cast doesn't have a single girly-looking fangirl service male. At this point I'm hoping for one. Nobody likes an entirely burly cast (FFXII). Vaan doesn't count, he was just Tidus.
