FFXIII straight to shit

Did you see the 4th part where he used that summon that transforms into a car and drifts around in the field? It looks so bad dood.

ps:Wow, I was already getting a headache imagining your comeback to my reply. It seems you didn't take it the wrong way though. Thanks bud.


But what if what is is not enjoyable? Then we have a problem.

Thats your opinion. Imo its looks badass.
Its all about opinion. Imo it looks enjoyable. We will see when it comes out

Can't make everyone happy.

Alright dude, I had a serious fucking problem with this so get ready for wall of text.



To each their own. That's all I have left to say.

You sneaky little bastard.





Now, if you've seen this review right after watching Nama's bitching about it, then you may see this as a big blow job. But hey, this review actually makes the game look, you know, fun.

I'm surprised Gamespot was so honest this time. They even gave it 8.5. FFXII's review was just one big cocksuck.

Everything they refer in the review had already been said by namasensei. They praise the graphics and story, and namasensei does too. But they only refer some of the problems, whereas namasensei refers to a ton of them.

I still think the game looks gorgeous and am glad it seems to have a decent story again time. But all the problems namasensei's mentioned makes me think I will enjoy this game even less than I did XII. The game may look very good but many little problems can easily ruin it down for me.

edit: There's something bugging me about the combat portion of the game.

Uh oh! Remember X-2?


Even the gambit system sounded more complex than this. At least you had a good level of customization. This system seems way too simple. It may have something more behind it, I dunno. But with this current knowledge, it reminds me yet again of X-2.


I think Gamespot overemphasizes the looks. This looks great, that looks great. But does it feel all that great after 20 or 30 hours in? I fear I may not have a definitive answer to that until I play it myself.

Best review I have seen so far and I'm not talking score wise. Just added to my already substantial hype for the game. These next 3 days are gonna be hard to get through. Modern Warfare 2 isn't cutting it while I am thinking, "Man, I wish I was playing FF13."

Well, no shit. This is actually what happened to me concerning the game "Demon's souls." I kept trying to learn more about it. I was being skeptical, doubting the hype and all that. After playing the game my previous skepticism seemed to be a waste. So yea, play the game to know what it actually feels like after 20 or 30 hours instead of constantly speculating. I wouldn't pay $60 for it though.

Ahaha. I knew her voice was going to be annoying. Also that tree thing is the same thing FF 10 had

Nope. On a first glance, it does look like it. But it's for the classes thing, remember? X's sphere grid was used for stat increase and learning abilities. Here it seems it's to improve class levels.
I think in gamespot's video review the guy even mentioned that it's a flawed system since when you have enough points to unlock all classes, you won't care much about doing that, but rather you'll be focusing on leveling certain classes.

Yay, more Japanese melodrama and shitty dialogue. Awesome.

... oh wait, no it isn't. Its there a way to turn off the voices in this game? I can't stand that crap when it comes to JRPGs.

Okay, let's bring in what you said ...

"Fully customized"? Really? In spite of that "10 hours of linearity"? You encounter a stat increase, of course you're going to use it. Play Digital Devil Saga, or Soma Bringer, or something that actually lets you distribute stats without the rails so you actually have to weigh your options.


And then nothing matters after those 10 hours. All your characters pretty much become the same (sans Aeons), differences in stats are negligible and everyone is of course going to have the best spells.

Wait, did you say "Lv1 spheres"? The ones that lead you to dead ends right away?


*sigh*

There's a difference between how good something is and how enjoyable it is. I found the system enjoyable, but I do not think it's a good system.

Not exactly. Sure, some of them may lead to a different path (perfect example would be around Kimhari's starting point), but that's far from being fully customizable.

Its called the mute button

Music is too awesome to mute.

Then your fucked

Then, what about all the free spaces you're left with? You can use all of those empty nodes to create more spheres, and then activate them.

And by using these you can decide to overpower their hp, or their attack, etc. And that's actually the secret to being able to defeat the dark aeons. I fucked up using my the free spaces, so now I don't have good enough stats to fight the harder monsters and the only thing I could do to defeat them would be to restart the game and use my empty nodes correctly.

I can't remember for sure, but I think these spheres where not easy to obtain. Also, these guys go into more detail about how to correctly use nodes for max efficiency.

I miss the old FF's

I haven't played a Final Fantasy game since 7 =3
