My big "nay" isn't quite to the game as much as to many HD games in general. This game so far is reported to be good, but not groundbreaking. As in it's almost literally a bigger, better looking, flashier, and most expensive game that could have been done last gen.
Not to say HD required games don't exist, just that many of these games have little new other than the "wow" factor (which means a lot of the cost is often about raw novelty). But with this game specifically, it does look pretty (and Vanille just hits quite a few of my turn-ons), but the story is one of the least compelling FF stories I've seen.
Perhaps the gameplay will make up for that, but I'm just doing a wait-and-see here (since I know better than to outright pass judgment before I actually get to try it). |
true but then again, companies need to surrive and this is their main option. i wouldnt blame them as i would blame the gamer. Also i truely believe that battle system will make up for that. One thing i really think that ff13 did better than every other game is the ally ai. it is extremely smart in this game.

Main option? It's only the most commonly chosen, and the cost shows it's not a good one. It's not a way to survive. It's a way to lose your shirt just to wow some critics and so that developers can pretend they are great filmmakers instead of great game makers.
Even Nintendo has fallen for that in some ways.
I'd take being able to not surrender to guards (not sure if this game does something like that, but it's a railroad story regardless) over flashy cutscenes any day.

i understand your point and i mostly agree. though i am one of those that likes cutscenes, mainly because they draw me into the world of the game.
