Wow that really is a negative view of FF13. Like others Versus excited me more than this but I'll still buy it though. If what this guy says is true and not horribly exaggerated then I'll probably hate this game.
I liked 12 because I had to intervene what everyone else did in order to insure a victory in harder battles and boss battles but if I'm fighting small fry or just grinding why not have auto battle. But if you don't need to manually do anything and just push X then I doubt anyone will like this "game" very much.
I was also afraid of the many cutscenes that Square-Enix seems to do now. This also proves that the 360 version won't be missing too much and it's just the numerous cutscenes that cause the need for 3 discs.
