According to an article on VGChartz, FFXIII will contain some sort of Hunts. However, they will work a lot differently than in FFXII:

Quote

If you played FFXII, you might remember the hunting missions you could accept from your clan. Here, things will work a little differently. While traversing Pulse, you'll stumble accros crystals, that upon touching them will reveal a memory and a certain monster that will be your target, if you happen to beat it, you'll complete the mission.

Of course, those monsters will be stronger than your regular foes, but beating them will yield materials and rare items for you. Missions can be completed multiple times, in order to obtain different "special badges".


I'm liking the sound of that. Hunts in FFXII were alright, but it was annoying having to go back and forth from the bill > mark > the people who posted it. Of course, that may have been the point (extending the experience). Sometimes it felt like a chore though. This new system might help make it feel less like a chore, and make it more fun. I wonder how the memories will work out? I'm guessing a black and white kind of flash back.

Sounds great! I loved hunts in FFXII (and FFXII in general), so if they're even slightly similar to those I'm sure they will be a good thing.

I feel the same way as you, Greenleaf. I could probably understand enough of the spoken dialogue, but I would be lost when it came to in-game text (though I'm sure I could get by). I'm going to be tortured for three months whenever I enter a store and see FFXIII for sale (which will be quite often).

Poor Eorzea XD That would be the ultimate torture for me!

I enjoyed the hunts on XII too, it added a great exstention to the gamplay. I like the idea of being able to play the fights again for new prizes too, some of the hunts in XII were that great I wanted to do them again lol.

The memories seem like a great idea to impliment a new system for hunts, as it would say a lot of time running back to the clan hall! I thought that was rather pointless, but still fun nonetheless.

Looking forward to all of this!!! :msnlaugh:
