Well, This is the start, of what should be a very long thread to come.. It's now official.. Final Fantasy Xiii will be coming out 9-03-2010 to both US/UK. Via this link here
I, like most, have grown up via Final Fantasy. It being a staple of a series for me to play. I really don't care to much for "tactics" versions, but the final fantasy series has been an enjoyable time for me to play.
But, after you watch the video, you'll see how much this game has changed via being in the "new era" of "console" gaming..
I start this for a Discussion, for all of us, to start on all levels of "Console" talks.. 360/Ps3 alike.. This one will be coming out via both, and at same time. There is no PC talks, that I know of, at this time.. It would be great to see it come.. But, we all know the head ache FF7 was... But, then again, it was due to them not "knowing" the hardware.. IMO at lease.
So, lets talk!
Note: It's Listed as "day/Month/Year" So March-9-2010
Man, I'm pre-ordering mine next pay!!!
"Influential and always pushing new boundaries, FINAL FANTASY has transcended generations and cultures for over 20 years. Behind each entry in the series is a team of the most talented minds devoting years of their craft to create. Now, the creative minds that brought you FINAL FANTASY VII and FINAL FANTASY X take the acclaimed series into an entirely new realm with FINAL FANTASY XIII, an entry that touts the series' most impressive cinematic experience, once again setting the new standard in RPG gaming.
Square Enix is truly excited to announce that FINAL FANTASY XIII will be released on March 9, 2010. The much anticipated FINAL FANTASY XIII is the first FINAL FANTASY title developed specifically for high-definition consoles, and also marks the beginning of a brand new chapter in the franchise, FABULA NOVA CRYSTALLIS FINAL FANTASY XIII.
Dealt a fate that marks them a threat to Cocoon humankind's floating haven in the sky Lightning, Snow and the others must find the strength within themselves to break free of their curse and fight for what they believe in. An immersive story of destiny, decisions and faith is about to unravel."
The date has been set. The rest is up to you."

Paradigm Shift:

English

Description
Attacker (ATK) | Commando (COM)
|Build attack chains more easily with enhanced strength.
Blaster (BLA) | Ravager (RAV) |Charge enemy chain gauges with concentrated attacks.
Defender (DEF) | Sentinel (SEN) |
Enhancer (ENH) | Synergist (SYN) |Support allies with an array of magical enhancements.
Healer (HLR) | Medic (MED) |
Jammer (JAM) | Saboteur (SAB) |
Why did they have to go and do that!
In the battle system of the game, the player can only control one character at a time. The other party members' actions can, however, be affected by a system called the "Paradigm Shift" ("Optima Change" in the Japanese version), which was explained by Motomu Toriyama at Gamescom 2009.
Paradigms are described as "stances" or "classes" that the characters temporarily take during battles to define the abilities they use. However, they are more strict than job classes; for example, the character with a Healer's role equipped can do nothing but heal, while the Attacker's role forces the character to only attack with physical and magical strikes.
The paradigms can be changed at any time to suit the situation at hand. However, they cannot be changed individually to each character, only for the whole party at a time. Thus, a paradigm is a combination of three roles. Possible paradigm variations count up to hundreds. The roles used are shown as colored abbreviations next to the characters' names in the battle screen.
Confirmed paradigms include Aggression, All for One, Dualcasting, Overwhelm, Peacemaker, Relentless Assault, Slash & Burn, The Ettin, Decimation, Smart Bomb, Tireless Charge and Vanguard.
