So what? Those movies are in high definition which means they will be occupying a lot of disk space.

What it DOESN'T mean is that the game sucks, or by the same account, that it is brilliant, for only using up 6.8 GB. That's a very limited thought process.

Past Final Fantasies of the PS 1 and 2 era also used a lot of disk space for their movies and nobody complained, quite the conrtary.

It's about high fucking time people stop pissing all over Final Fantasy just because the JRPG era is over and all they want now is shooter-o-rama.

How many space does the cutscenes in any HD WRPG occupy in the game as well? I think that people are just doing this to get a rise over JRPGs, exactly for what you just said. 

Most cutscenes in WRPGs are done in-engine so I don't think they can be measured.

 

IIRC, most of disc space in WRPGs goes to voice acting.

Never the less they are cutscens right? You don't control anything in cutscenes. Dragon Age: Origins had tons of cutscenes, Mass Effect did too. It may be in-engine, yet the fact remains that they take up viable game time, just as any FMV in JRPG gamimg.

Most cutscenes in WRPGs are dialougue scenes that the player can control though.

 

You know forget it. I don't want this to be a JRPG/WRPG flamewar. I'll judge the cutscenes in FFXIII on their own merits.

I'm not trying to make this a JRPG / WRPG war, I'm a huge fan of both genres, I was just adressing the issue of what people were judging in FFXIII, nothing else. Almost every game now is filled with cutscenes and set pieces in which you don't have that much control, that was my point only >_<
