To be honest, I never played a Final Fantasy game for gameplay, thats the least of my worries. Good story/scenery and music is all that matters to me. But to each their own, right? :P |
I'm actually playing FFVII for the first time, and although the actual gameplay is fun, the story is just way too long and slows down the game. I feel like I'm reading a book at times. Just not my thing.. If FFXIII is going to be like that, I might have to pass it up. I just don't find it very fun to sit there for 10 minutes pressing one button through the dialoge.
It's werid because I actually like many RPGs, but paradoxically hate games with long drawn out stories and cutscenes. I guess I just mainly like the RPGs where the story and cutscenes are not forced upon you, and there is more emphasis on action and exploration. Games like Oblivion where you can read the material whenever you want at your own pace, or chose to bypass it completely. And games like Secret of Mana, with very short cutscenes and little dialoge throughout the game. I think the player should always dictate the flow of the game, not the game itself.
