Final Fantasy 13

Who will end up knifing you with a switchblade.

Correction: Survival knife.

For most of my life I've disliked the FF series quite a bit, when ever I tried to get into it I got bored to tears, but this game turned things around for me, Im surprised by how much i'm enjoying this game :P

So far the only thing I disliked was Hope, whenever he spoke I wanted to push him off a cliff for being so bloody stupid, just listening to him moan all the time was bloody painful.

Although when we reach the point that he stops being an emo twat I find myself not reaching at my TV to strangle him.

Character ranting aside I do like most of the characters, i'm hoping that Lightning and Snow get on better as the game progresses because they are basically my favorites.

And finally on the whole 'linear' complaint problem, for me this is no problem! When I tried to play FF12 I spent a good hour of my time walking around trying to figure out what the fuck to do and where to go, and once I finally got out of that city I then had to go around a desert finding fucking shiny pillar stone things!
I understand a town to explore and full of people is a nice touch, I think small towns may of worked in this game, but honestly I'm fine without it, I'm happy that I can just progress without having to prat around for 1 hour.

But I now have a much more positive opinion of FF, the music is truly beautiful (especially when you block out leona lewis singing.)

I'm just hoping I can enjoy the future installments as well.

We all hated hope. Am I the only one who liked leona lewis song? Never heard of her until the game was annouced. Also it makes sense theres no towns. They are L'Cie who would want them in their town?

My favourite part as well.
:D

I liked the storyline of this game so far. I should really beat the game so I can start endgame stuff but been so damn lazy. I'm at the final chapter and last map or area. The only thing I hate about this place is . Also at the same time I yet to understand why the damn developers made money impossible to get in this version....


My favorite scene so far has got to be

Well after beating the game a couple of weeks ago my thoughts...



My Status so far:

1. 115 hours in the game so far
2. 63 missions beat with 5 star ratings
3. Have Fang, Vanille, and Lightning's Ultimate weapons at max
4. Killed all the Oretortoise class's including the Shaolong Gui and Long Gui
5. Beat the Titan's Trial's
6. Maxed out everyone's Crystarium

Working on:

1. Killing mission 64
2. Maxing out Snow, Hope, and Sazh's weapons
3. Getting the rest of the accessories

I heard the story was merely 50-60 hours. Are there that many extras to fill in all those extra hours?

Well if you're trying to obtain all the trophies, there are.

[size=12]50-60 hours!!! I'm only about 15 hours into game so far. Besides, the only game that took me that long to beat was Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (took about 55 hours to beat) and that was on easy. Maybe I'm just a bag of fail, lol.[/h]

I'm so pathetic. I was getting raped by the Chapter 7 boss

Go figure SE throws in a boss like that.

And Chapter 8...

final fantasy 13 is only for ps3 or am i wrong?
yesterday when i'm at akiba's US game store,i saw final fantasy 13 for XBOX360.it contains 3 CD game.
i haven't followed the game outside japan lately so i didn't know.

Fog it's both for xbox 360 and ps3, but from many research and comment done on both versions. PS3 version has better graphic quality, but tends to cause many problems to your PS3. Xbox version has less problems (still occasionally tends to freeze up), with less quality in graphic compared to PS3 version.

is that so?
that's why there's no 360 ver in here.

It causes problems? I haven't come across any at all yet, and i'm near the end I believe.

Same, I have had no problems whats so ever and i have beaten the game and have over 60 hr play time on my ps3 and I say its one of the smoothest running games on the ps3 IMO.

It's not all xbox users or ps3 but most have had the problem where the game is a bit too much to handle for the console at certain points in the game. One good example is around Ch11 when you enter Gran Pulse, many claimed their game lags at that point. My friend had his game frozen at the final boss battle and had to install the 3rd disk for his xbox to make things run smoothly. My other friend who had a ps3 version one had many times the game would freeze up.

Odd indeed, Maybe it depends on how old the system is perhaps? because I havent noticed anything out of the ordinary for my game =/, but ill keep a lookout!

I just completed the game, and have no problems of any sort throughout my 45hr gameplay. :/
