What if the game is actually good though? Hypothetically of course.

Apparently, he has already determined it to be a bad game. You know, not having played it of course. But he knows...

Just like people can assume it will be a good game, I can assume it will be a bad game until proven otherwise.

  • The main character is described as being Cloud but a chick -- nothing says sellout more except...
  • They are already planning ten years of spinoffs -- tells you they are interested in nothing other than cash.  Rather than giving us a memorable story or interesting characters, they're just giving us a female Cloud and hope that keeps people interested.
  • The game has had delay after delay after delay -- It's not completely unorderinary for a game to have a delay, most do, but this one has had delay after delay after delay.  It could be for the better, but it could also be because the game is one giant clusterfuck
  • They care more about how the game looks than anything else -- Unless I'm mistaken (and I could be) just about everything told to us has been about eye candy or future spinoffs.  I don't play Final Fantasy games for eye candy, I play them for interesting characters and a good story.
  • The last few games have been bad, why would this one be good?  They could always pull a FFIX on us but you can't really expect anomalies.

 

Let's try to think positively!

  • The main character is described as being Cloud but a chick -- Square has found a character concept that people like and are rather fond of.  They wish to please their biggest fans by giving them something similar which Square hopes they will also enjoy.
  • They are already planning ten years of spinoffs -- Square is putting a lot of time, thought, and effort into not only providing you a great experience in the form of this game but future ones as well.  Fans should be overjoyed to hear that Square will be providing even more great games in the future.
  • The game has had delay after delay after delay --  Square is taking the time to polish this game and even bring it to an entirely new platform.   Square is dedicated to the highest level of quality and only has you the gamer in mind so they're taking as much time as they need to provide you the AAA experience you deserve.
  • They care more about how the game looks than anything else -- Of course Square cares about how the game looks.  After all you will spend 100% of your play time looking at the game so they want you to enjoy every second of it.
  • The last few games have been bad, why would this one be good?  -- Perhaps the last few games were not to your interest but that can and will change with FFXIII.  Square hopes that you will try their latest entry into their award-winning Final Fantasy series before judging it.
