[POLL] Has Final Fantasy XIII disappointed you?

[Runa216]

How many times must I say: Video and Audio are strictly subjective and only a matter of opinion. I do not like the audio or video in the game because I found the soundtrack grating and the graphics to be uninspired. I said the graphics were technically impressive if you're on an HDTV, but barely better than PS2 graphics if you played on an SDTV, and that the display was broken on SD. I had good things to say but countered them with bad things.

Besides, the rant was a rant, not a review. I wasn't intending to balance the good with the bad professionally, the point of the rant was to point out the many flaws in the game and explain why the gameplay was broken. You want to hear good points about the game? I can do that:

1 - The hunts were really fun and exciting
2 - Gran Pulse was beautiful
3 - SOME of the music was really good
4 - the graphics were some of the best I've seen (providing you were on an HDTV)
5 - I thought the character design was really good (but the characters themselves were bland)
6 - the battles were decent in idea (but poor in execution)
7 - The backstory was actually really, REALLY good (if you were willing to read the in-game glossary/encyclopedia)
8 - The lore they'd created about the L'Cie etc was really interesting.

There, is that enough to prove to you that I'm not incapable of seeing both sides? the problem is that even the good parts were overshadowed by bad parts.
