Well this sounds like it would have scored a few points more if the reviewer hadn't had such high hopes.
Never mind though. It's a Final Fantasy game and as such it already has the built in preorder.

It could however very much be that this will be my least favorite FFXIII. I loved XIII, and I quite liked XIII-2. I played a few hours of this one but I definitely don't really like the new combat system. Handling Lightning alone instead of having a proper party is also a letdown.

From what I´ve read and seen, the combat system seems to be the only thing going for LR.

Everything else seems to be shit.

I would wait for the inevitable price drop you won´t have to wait long

Well I already imported the game and also preordered an english version. And I will definitely not cancel it just because of some dude who doesn't love FF as much as I do.

I've played the game and I didn't like the combat system that much. I've played not for too long so it could be that I haven't reached the point where strategy comes into play. But compared to the previous games it is a lot slower and not as smooth and fluid. It felt quite sticky to me. Which is to be expected because it's just Lightning on the field. Just imagine playing any FF game with just one character. That's how it felt.
