It's kinda funny that still threads about ff13 you have the same old excuses coming out. Bristow9091 says the battle system is fun and fast... when you get to chapter 10 or 11..... which takes longer than most great games to even get there.
Areym saying it's pretty good.... he plans to finish it after a long hiatus. LOL. Ah yes all the greatest games require a hiatus to keep playing them.
It's just funny how even the people that like the game give it backhanded compliments without realising it.
I actually think there is a good game somewhere in FF13 but it's just such a tiny slice of the whole experience. In the time it took for FF13 to become good I can play Alan Wake all the way through with it's better story, characters and gameplay. Or even compared to other Jrpgs I would say previously the slowest one was Lost Odyssey which I thought had a great first hour then a very slow and rough next 7 hours but then became brilliant and remained that way throughout.
