[Multi] Final Fantasy XIII

[黒と赤「KUROtoAKA」]

Lately, I've been seeing plenty of criticism over the Japanese release of Final Fantasy XIII.

For example:

http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/1...is-a-bad-game/

I had been looking forward to this game and I really didn't want to such news dissuade me from buying it, but it really isn't looking good. Is anyone else disappointed? Who still plans on buying the game?

To be honest with you ive been utterly dissapointed with the FFX series since FFXII came out i honestly can't believe it got worse T_T. I don't recommend buying it for playing value but if your a collecter of the sereis much like me you'll probably end up buying it

Actually, I enjoyed FFX and FFXII. I thought XII was going to be bad, but it turned out all right in my opinion. I only started playing at FFVII, which I also enjoyed very much, but I know many have said that the entire series has just been getting progressively worse. I haven't played anything before VII, so my opinion may be skewed.

Well, I've been waiting for FFXIII for ages. I've even skipped over FFXI and FFXII.

Yes, I am glad the heroine is a female this time (no Yuna will never be a main-main character in my eyes).

The games prior to 3D, most notably VI and IV, have got to be the best in the series.

So I've heard. ^_^ I got VI recently, but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

i honestly remember playin FF on the SNES when i was a kid, I'm telling you right nao there was no such thing as cloud or yuna xD But it has indeed lost its charm and it becoming more of an adventure game rather than rpg, now Xenosaga that was as gud as 3D rpgs get

VI has got to have the very best villain. Sepheroth can't hold a candle to Kefka.

I totally agree with that, i remember dyin like 20 times b4 gettin him and still it was a close call

In that case, I forsee plenty of frustration in my future. ^_^

I actually enjoyed that game too, lol. The story was lame, but I did enjoy the gameplay while others hated it.

I'll most likely be doing the same.

I will definitely still be buying it. Now it should probably be noted that I buy plenty of games all the time, so this is something I want to judge for myself. Reviews I always take with a grain of salt, even if they all happen to be right... I want to be the one to say that. I've heard so many times a game is great just to find it isn't my type of game or I personally dislike it. So my views are a bit different than most.

I'll be picking it up with an open mind, and if I truly dislike it then I'll tell you then.

Kana is right i mean thats exactly what a gamer should do all the time, rely on your preference rather than other

I'll bet I am the only one who enjoyed FFVIII and FFIX. xD

^_^ I know a lot of people who enjoyed IX, including myself (except for the end, WTF was that about?). Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of VIII, and it remains the only FF (out of the one's I've played) that I haven't finished.

I have found FFVIII to be one of the best FF games ever. It had the most unique story ever. It had a system that actually made you excited to collect things. (GF's, magic, weapon upgrades all played a major part in stats and over powering) It had a great story that involved a lot of unique people. And the secrets you can find are amazing and rewarding. The music is amazing and is probably the best in series. And for the day the look was simply awe striking. And to a lesser extent the card game is totally awesome and actually serves a purpose when you get Card Mod.

I hope you reconsider it.

Why? It's along the same lines at X.
