Gamekult are not the only game review site that has dissed FFXIII. It has been changed dramatically to cater for casual gamers in more ways than one.
If you find this game boring and a lack of challenge well you have been warned. Japanese gamers have been let down by FFXIII.
March 2010 and this game will hit Europe and North American shores. Two months time and a boat load of news and reviews will released which will probably be mostly praising the game and hyping it as the best FF game ever.
GTA IV, Modern Warfare 2 and Resident Evil 5 still taste sour to the countless gamers who found those games too have fallen so short of the unrealistically high expectations.
At the end of the day it will be you who will have the final say when judging the game.
Playing an imported Japanese copy of FFXIII- the game would suck unless you are Japanese or could speak Japanese. All those Japanese characters would not make any sense to a non-Japanese speaking person. It would be like doing an Advanced Calculus or Physics exam and you have not done anything for the entire semester.
