Default FF13

So anyone getting it tonight??? I'm getting it and pulling an all nighter. It's the main reason I got a ps3 even tho it's on 360. Now just can't wait for gt5.

Ugh, I forgot to reserve it. I'm sure they won't have anymore copies. It's alright, though. I still have Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, Arkham Asylum, and Dante's Inferno to finish. I never have time to play my PlayStation anymore.

Very rarely do stores run out of games these days. They usually stock the crap out of them these days. I never reserved Halo 3 and I walked right in and picked up a copy. Back in the day you had to reserve everything just to get it the day of. I use to work in a cd/dvd/game store and I remember **** would run out all the time.

i really really like this game. i played about 6 hours worth and i must say i was extremely impressed since the last few FF's have been let downs (X-2, XII, partially X). I like how they went back to a modern era like they did in FF 8 (my favorite one of them all). now i just have to buy a PS3 since i played it on my friends and dont really wanna waste another 6 hours. lol

All of the games are amazing, and although sephiroth is my favorite character in the entire series.. I still dont think FF7 is the best. So far 10 is the best that ive completed... 13s amazing so far,, i'll update when completed in the next few days/weeks.

Alright I was a big fan of FF7, so for those of you that have played FF13 thus far..... does it involve the same battle style as FF7? Materia, Summons, stuff like that? I guess I just want to Omnislash Sep's face off in better graphics

its nothing like 7,, 8 was diff, 9 was diff,, they all are diff from 7.. materia got dropped out.. and its active time like regularily, except the characters are in motion moving about. its alot easier and harder to play.

I got it, I'm 16 Hours into the game and still have the 3rd disc to go

I play it on the 360, but its absolutely amazing. best one i have played since 9, first one i have bought since 7.

I like it, greatest RPG franchise ever.

Theres something to be said for a chick kicking ***.

OK, THIS GAME ******* BLOWS

Seriously.

Here is how the game runs, im about 6 hours into it and this is what happens

You walk, you get into a fight.
Repeat above.


the cut scenes are nice, but so far there are NO DECISIONS! It is just, walk the predetermined path, and fight. Then i read THERE ARE NO TOWNS?????

are there any sidequests??? WTF is the point in this?

Sure, i got 2 of those Eideon *************, they are cool,

BUT IS THIS ALL THERE IS TO IT? WALK, FIGHT A REDICULOUSLY EASY MONSTER, REPEAT???

SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME AT SOME POINT I GET TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

/RANT

I know its dissapointing that they made it soo linear, but it helped provide for a better storyline so things didnt conflict.

Like I enjoyed seeing all these random things in the world map on 7 and 8.. Like the scary emerald weapon under the sea moving about, and watching the big garden moving on 8..

I agree they missed alot of things but overall the story is AMAZING! It all starts coming together about 20 hours in.

Sounds like someone gets a hard-on while playing Final Fantasy.

i agree the game is very linear.

Chris, i am at about the same point as you. im stuck at 6 hrs because of a lack of PS3 to play (started on friends ps3, and dont wanna waste another 6 hrs on xbox).

i have been playing FF9 and i am about 3 hrs into the game and the story has already developed into something where as FF13 your still figuring out what the hell is going on. lol

i want another FF 6 7 8 9 (even 10) story line where you actually have character development. lol.

(side note, if anyone played 10, the voice actor for Wakka is the same person who voices Bender on futurama and Marcus from Gears of War 1 and 2 lol)

i dunno if im even going to bother to finish it. probably go ahead and trade it in.

its like watching a movie with lousy acting that pauses from time to time to use a retarded fighting system so you can continue with the game.

there is ZERO strategy, ZERO thought, it is like a tunnel you are forced down, i dont mind having a degree of linearity to a game, i don't mind sandboxes either, but this is so far on the extreme side of linearity that it is rediculous.

this game ******* blows.

i never thought i would dislike a FF game so much.

i heared a rumor FF14 is going to be an MMO like 11 (or was it 12?)

anyone else hear this?

FF14 is MMO,, im gettin early access beta..

And the game does require alot of strategy after u start developing multiple paradigms. Its more difficult than the rest.

It takes quite a bit of hours and go through a lot of chapters for it to really develope, but as stated before it isn't a old school ff.
