You guys fail,it's not weird for a game to have bug,show me a game which dont have bug 100% i bet u guys wont find it.This place suck.People tend to pose shit ass stuff about big famous stuff.All of u dont know how much goody is packed inside the game.So just STFU and dont give a shit if u dont like it.What a failure...
Someone is about to cry.
Boohoo.
Lol moar hate plz.
...
My name is...
....
Lightning
...
if this is a bug, then every 2nd game is bugged.
Geass?
It's not as bad as the graphic bug. That's just stupid KI nothing new to FF.
Sadly this is common in most of the newest games. lazy engine disgners are lazy.
u know, i find the bug quite amusing when i saw how vanille react to lightning's sudden urge to jump non-stop
Got this game yesterday and enjoying it so far. And jumping Lightning is not enough to make me sad 8) (I didn't saw this bug yet though)
You know what's worse than FFXIII bashing? The readers who bash them. C'mon, let Artefact post whatever he likes.
After all, bugs in over-hyped games make big news, it's talked about in 2ch often. I think this site is great in delivering what's currently hot among the Japanese internet community. If you don't like it, then make like a tree and get out of here. I mean, leave.
people complain about linearity,
then they put in a loop and people complain again.
what do they have to do to satisfy you? :p
They should totally give the lead character a ridiculously cheesy name, then all will be good.
uhh, hello? Snow? Hope? Lightning? Win.
I'm getting tired of FF bug reporting and bashing, I only like some of the FF spin-offs but none of the main series, but even bashing the series is getting really old.
I wasn't aware that Sankaku was bug FFXIII bug report page.
I wasn't aware that Sankaku was the FFXIII bug report page
Sankaku has been the FFXIII bashing page lately. And most of the bashing has been the same:
1) The game is linear! (By the way, who cares?)
2) There are bugs! (All games have them. And these are very minor ones.)
4-5 sceptical articles on the biggest RPG of recent memory is too much?
We published more articles going on about the release dates, platform releases and, most importantly, Serah's schoolgirl outfit... I think this is far from unbalanced coverage.
I recently tried to bug Suare-Enix about not including japanese voice dialogue on the game, surprisingly enough they replied (I used the hiring email cause I couldn't find any other support email to voice opinions)here's the transcript:

You guys really need to set up polls amongst gamers to take decisions. A LOT of gamers here in America would like to keep the japanese dialogue on Final Fantasy XIII, you have to at least make it available on the PS network, english dubs, specially on games, SUCK, there's just no way to get it right, there's big consensus around this issue.

Thank you for contacting the SQUARE ENIX Support Center,
Thank you for taking the time to write to us.
We do appreciate your suggestion toward our future titles. Although I cannot guarantee it being implemented in future projects, it will be forwarded to my superiors. I thank you for you contacting us today.
We hope this information has been of assistance.
Thanks,

I was mainly trying to bug them so I didn't put any particular attention or care to the wording.
I got the reply from this address support@square-enix-usa.com should you want to voice your opinion on the subject...
I wonder if they meant that?
1. It's an automated response. I'm sure they get tons of email, so an automated response is to be expected.
2. "Big consensus"? I don't know about that. While I agree that the dubs kind of suck, I don't think there is a large outcry to keep the original dialogue. If anything, the cry is to simply hire better voice actors for the English version.
Translation of Square's response: Thanks, we don't care. Please go away.
Also, I don't think the opinions of a few japanophiles qualify as a "consensus".
lol wut?
Dude, this is the best glitch ever, non-interfering and entertaining, 2 birds w/ 1 big ass japanese hardcore-gaming god's-oxymoron rock.
I don't even care about FF XIII but all this talk and bashing makes me want to buy it.
Wow instead of going straight, it's going up and down! Who said it was a linear game?!
it's a sinusoidal game!
Vanille is bored.
THIS GAMES SUX!!!!!
Bugs of games like Fallout 3 and Oblivion never documented like this, only in troubleshooting, bug reports, and patch fixes...
Who wants to play Final Fantasy XIII other than such HYPE? LAME!!!
I don't see the point of posting the bugs in the Japanese version of FF13, since they will probably be fixed in the US and Europe editions anyway.
She has a cute back~
i see, that many fanboy of ff cant admit the real thins around new FF...
ffxiii is complete dissaster, becuase is lineal, boring and have many bugs, remember this game have many years for complete it....
anyway wrpg beat up tp jrpg in this age
oh common that was only 40 secs
"...Meanwhile, Lightning's indecision whether sommersaulting or backsaulting would make her look cooler, has cost the team extra unnecessary gaming hours, Excalipoor and a chance to obtain the secret mizugi l*li character which was only unlockable after defeating the superboss Beta SquallVaanTidus under 9000 hours of gametime."
Endless Thirteen, anyone?
If that character was supposed to be following her, then it was trying to make a path to the player. NPC's take the shortest available route, this one couldn't round off the numbers for which one.
I'm going to rename the game as Failnal Fantasy.
No, He rolled a perfect 20, but he failed just cause there was a bug in the die. Sorry.
The fail in this bug is not the endlessness of the jumps, it's the way she jumps... it looks like she's flying not jumping
Anyway, a lolbug is awesome
i tought she was training
DeathCrunch, you can get a lot of helpful information from online resources, as well as magazines, people, reviews, etc.
And you can't deny that they provide good insight into what a game is to a specific preference, but...
You never know if you'll like it until you've played it with an open mind.
Just because something is linear or has a few bugs doesn't mean it's no good.
(BTW, what happened to the classic games that had lots and lots of bugs, but no one cared? If it doesn't hinder your gameplay, it's not really that significant)
I think backflipping for eternity over a cliff would count as hindering gameplay...
It's an NPC (basically all other characters follow the leader) thats doing the jumping, so you can just ignore it and move on.
Cause it's not like this game is a piece of shit, or anything... Right?
Well we *could* get the Japanese dubs if SE just bothered to do it. Unfortunately, as far as I know, it doesn't look like we're getting them.
This is pathetic. it seems like "Look for a bug and complain!".. there are tons of games that has worst bugs than this jumping thing, specially western rpg.
"sigh"
With linear games comes linear bugs.
Does anyone care about this anymore? Because I don't.
Troll.
Sankaku delivers again on the butthurt department
Hell yeah!
so thats why you can't jump in RPGs
Square "Enix" fails.
What are you trying to say with the quotes?
Is it something about the company or something about yourself?
Lightning, I am dissapoint
i hope that at least, they fix all these bugs for the american relase
Thats no bug, thats lightning just exercising,
how else you think she gets that thin.
The music was very relaxing xD
tell me wich game is 100% bugs free ??
Tetris
table top D&D?
But the game master can make bugs. Well actually it wouldn't be a bug cause he made them on purpose but then that would just suck for you. Wait, maybe the designers of FF did this on purpose just to make more money with half the work! It's a conspiracy!
Man, did THAT guy fail his perception check
Rules lawyer is looking at you suspiciously.
I also think it looks fun to break out a little from running through the game's straight line.
the game is a linear rpg so is natural that the bug occurs from back to front and vice versa.
In Final Bugstasy XIII, even the bugs are boring.
oh ho, is this would you would call a Japanese Beta version? It's all going to be fixed in the other releases and the eventual "International Edition"
In the "International Edition", instead of more characters, they will add more directions and a compass. Also more clothes, but that is a givin.
That Looks fun too jump like that!
more final fantasy bashing
Fanboy gonna cry?
no, but you prove idiots sound idiotic.
lol.i think its not bashing enaff.i played tony hawk like decade ago and theres 1 skill that i make(balancing but dun remember the name) that wont fall even after i go eating out and then i just got bored and make him fall.this 1,worthless i think
You're not very good at making a point...
His point is that he plays crappy games.
pwnt.
agreed.
or screwed
His point needs to be sharpened.
yeah i think i remmbure that skill....oh wait maby i left that skill running for 3 days once just too see the score......in question it alot.
oh and for thoses who read this point its pointless funny really because you have been PWaN
More like more Final Fantasy fail!
Well, its still about a bajillion bugs less then most wRPG's i've played.
FF FANBOY BUTTHURT HORDE IS COOMINGGG!! PREPARE FOR MASSIVE TROLLING!!!
13:01 Anon "Nothing is perfect, no one is."
I bet you wouldn't accept that kind of bs excuse if the man building your house said that.
Anon 15:43.. I've done framing.. And trust me, NO house is perfect when it's built. There is always something that has been fubarred and then repaired in some half ass manner to make it seem legit. He is right.. Nothing is perfect.
Actually it really is linear. You get some freedom on chapter 11 but then back to running in a straight line from one enemy to the next watching movies and fighting bosses along the way. There are 13 chapters total btw. And that video is not a bug, your companions follow you around and that is just part of the pathing, won't break the game or anything.
There's plenty of gameplay videos online, read a few reviews and I've even watched part of a compete play-through.
I don't get this retarded logic that everything has to be experienced first hand for me to have an opinion of it.
coz yar moron ; (
Gothic? Hmm..
you cant really go out and find too many bugs when all you do is sit there watching cut-scene after cut-scene
im totally with Anon 13:01 in this one.. ppl just love to complain at the most pathetic things, so what if there's this minor bug? it doesnt even hinder the game in any way
this further proves how linear the game is, he's only jumping back and forth one direction.
Why don't you guys play it, and THEN AFTER THAT you make your own opinion about the game. You know, you should not belive other peoples words so easily.
Plus, as a programmer, BUGS like endless jumps will exist in ALL KINDS OF SOFTWARE that has been created or currently under development. Nothing is perfect, no one is.
He just kept jumping.......As she looked on in disappointment.
I was starting to get bored, too. A part of me wished that he would suddenly fall, just to surprise me.
she does look really, REALLY bored, doesn't she?
Nah more like "GOD, I wish I could bug too..."
"Newplayers cannot bug"
the all new final fantasy excercise routine!
keeps you fit
isshoni jumpingu?
Thank god it repeats like that for the whole, I wasn't sure if the first 5 seconds were enough to see this in action.
One good thing about having to wait longer for FFXIII than Japs is that they get to beta test the thing. Less bugsies for us.
they also get the far superior japanese.
Makes me happy I speak the language so I don't have to put up with shitty english dubs.
However, there's still a chance that we'll get the Japanese audio track too.
Beta test of three months.
Gaijin's pathetic desirewww
