Woot, just got my copy of FFXIII. Good thing I'm not going any where for Spring Break this year.
It's spring break for you guys? Damn you!Originally Posted by animus
I just got my copy of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for PC. I don't think I'll be able to play it for a good week or two though, considering the semester just started, I've got a 40% project that needs doing, and also a medical school entry exam coming up.
Funnily enough, I could only find the Limited Edition in my local warehouse store.
Holidays are so far away.....
PS: FFXIII came out 9hrs ago here. I'm feeling poor, so my brother can go buy that

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Apparently i had FFXIII preordered. Good job past me.
First Impression: The combat remind me of Chrono Trigger.

How come there is no PEGI, ESRB or CERO rating in that cover?
Awesome Mickey and Minnie mouse set
Because I live in Asia?

Isn't the CERO rating from Asia?
Isn't CERO just for Japan? Like how it's ESRB for the US and PEGI for Europe?
So Asia games non-japanese have no rating system on their covers?
Also playing FFXIII... been almost playing nonstop for the last 10 hours or so. Only a few minor complaints, one I hate that it's not the usual stylish coverart that they use in Europe with white background and just the FF logo. And I wish Snow would shut up or at least be less chessy, Vanille's voice is kinda annoying as well but starting to get used to it so not that bad. And dammit where is my FF victory music? Unless my memory is completely off it was included in the Japanese demo so it feels weird that it isn't there. Overall the music isn't bad but doesn't really reach the standards that Nobuo set for FF.
You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely
Its the americanization, Leona Lewis and Microsoft's fault.
YAH! Got FFXIII with the strategy guide for an extra 20. I also got a product registration card for a special item.Gonna play it now!
No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you when he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on, I am your teacher."

I bought both versions of FFXIII PS3 and 360 (360 FFXIII Bundle). Playing 360 first and well... it's appearing to be a huge letdown. I may never take the plastic wrapping off the PS3 version.
No towns, battle system is wrong... doesnt feel like an RPG or a Final Fantasy Game. Feels like a Legend of Zelda game with out Link and Zelda.
I'll play it to the end for series sake.
I give this FF Game a 3 out of 10.
Forgot to mention that The Last Remnant is 2 years old and has way better graphics and characters than FFXIII. I think square should use the same engine The Last Remnant uses.
It's a shame The Last Remnant did not sell very well.

If you think the graphics and characters in Last Remnant (who are all about as fleshed out as a sheet of paper) are better than FFXIII you are either retarded or blind.
I'm about 23 hours into Final Fantasy XIII and while I am enjoying it greatly I'm kinda forcing myself to play it. There just isn't that sense of immersion from previous Final Fantasy's. In previous entries you would feel like you're part of a world with culture, but this game just feels like you're just strung along from place to place with no time to absorb or ability to immerse yourself into anything. I honestly don't give a damn about Cocoon, Pulse, and any of the characters besides Sazh at the moment. The story is so uninspired and contrived, it just feels silly half the time. Final Fantasys have never been known for a strong plot, but the exposition in this one just really makes me not care.
Not to mention the game isn't any where near as hard as people said it was. Just beat the boss in Chapter 10 and he was a joke. I was only near a Game Over once and that was when I was using Snow and Hope on the way back to Hope's home, and one of the random encounters was this giant robot motorcycle thing that could nearly kill off Snow in 1 hit with his Gatling Gun. Good thing it takes like 5 seconds to charge and is easy to counter with Sentinel/Medic. The battle system is a saving grace, but it's a bit on the tedious side for regular enemy encounters.
The music and melodies so far are pretty decent. The battle theme gets stuck in my head far too often.
So far Final Fantasy XIII is about only my 4th favorite RPG this Gen after Demon's Souls, Valkyria Chronicles and Tales of Vesperia, but tied with Mass Effect 2. If I had to give it a rating so far, it'd probably be a flat 8.0

Man I wouldn't say im dissapointed though. Whats crazy if you read the tutorial during the crystal lake, you find out that you can use libra (or fighting the enemy 3-5 times) for weaknesses of an enemy, you can then use auto battle which makes it so easy, the game isn't that complicated. Oh and for Vanille, has anyone noticed that her voice is out of accent sometimes, she sounds English one moment than American the next? They also cap the skill system until you reach a certain point in each chapter of the game and im mostly a power builder during the beginning. But I love how they kept the battle system a bit the same. Im a FF lover so I will see this game through, I think Square-Enix went down with the franchise after FF10.
Edit: If you guys played Saga Frontier 1 and 2, when your in Vestige, haven't you guys noticed that it almost sounds like the theme song but mixed together?

Vanille`s and Fang`s accent is australian, i guess every person from pulse has said accent.

I'm at Chapter 3, at the crystal lake right now and learning about the paradigm shift systems. I must say while I'm intrigued by the story so far, I really really miss the combat systems of the old FFs. I prefer to have complete control over all my characters, and having the luxury of time to plan every move for every character over the ATB. One of the reasons I stopped FFXII half way was because I couldn't get into the combat system. I certainly hope that the system in FFXIII will grow on me as I progress later into the game....
