Final Fantasy XIII gets 9.4 by PS3M

[VivaLaWiida]

I just bought the PS3M (mainly because of the FFXIII poster) and they reviewed the European version of FFXIII. The results? Well, I'll give you some extractions:

+ Good English audio track and fantastic Japanese audio track, multilingual subtitles, beautiful and stunning visuals + cutscenes, about 50 hours of suspense and pure emotion, very fast battles...

- ...which sometimes are coming up too often, Japanese theme song got replaced by Leona Lewis' "My Hands"

 

Graphics 9

Lively and as beautiful as no Final Fantasy has been before

 

Sound 8

Solid English speakers, fantastic on Japanese, stunning music

 

Gameplay 9

Thanks to the extensive instruction very easy to learn and play

 

Score: 9.4

A "Final Fantasy" that will search one's own kind for a very long time. Just masterly!

 

And now some quotes from the magazine:

"The strength of the characters is the fact, that makes the already good story to something remarkable"

"Some games are telling stories, that everyone will fell in love with immediately: Lyrical, expressive, full of emotions. And some games satisfy more with their graphics, which means detailed worlds, visually stunning action-scenes and imposing character designs. But if those two attributes come together, a masterpiece arises. A RPG, it was worth waiting for."
