Looks like a solid game, not an incredible game as the hype suggested but an enjoyable game.

Hype never really suggests anything. It's all in the mind.

That said, considering the fact that Famitsu readers still voted it best game of all time recently, I think its safe to say its a very good game albeit not for everybody

Well, looks like japanese players have some complaints about the game:

This is a map for the first six hours:

But yeah, I agree that hype never suggests anything, I take back what I said.

All games have flaws. The difference is what said flaw means to said player. No towns sounds like not much of a big deal to me but to others, it means a terrible RPG. With that said, the vast majority of the Japanese must have enjoyed it despite its flaws for it to win such an award as "best game of all time".

Yes but I prefer to consider the western reviews, since I don't know how many people voted for "best game of all time".

Also, linearity isn't the big problem of FFXIII (at least not for me), you will find some complaints about the game in the second link.

 

@Wagram

Well, I think my post is valid for you too.

Hmm...some real concerns in that second link but it's FF so I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. I loved FFXII despite the naysayers so here's to hoping I enjoy FFXIII as well. The biggest issue listed to me would be "only 2 stats". I dont know how an RPG could work with just that but guess I'll find out in a few weeks.
