No freaking way!

FF 13 was absolutely crap! Graphics dont cover up weak gameplay and corridor hunting. I almost made it to the end, but then i thought f*ck it.


This post right here is what I think the main complaint came down to. Half the people that picked up this game wanted the whole game to be a sandbox game, but they didn't pay attention and just assumed it would be like Skyrim, and wrongly so. This person and people like him/her should make sure FFXV is sandboxy enough for them before they pre-order, or else you only have yourself to blame for getting a game that doesn't play how YOU want it to. which really is very immature of yourself.


Look, I liked FF XIII, but you can't expect people not to be deceived when in all FF's lifespawn, you've always able to walk around, talk to NPCs and do things; sleep at inns, mash X while walking around to see what banal thing your character picks up, and minigames such as card-games and things like that.

Then comes FF XIII and you can't do any of those things. It's not a matter of people assuming the wrong genre, but it is a case on which the game departed from the original formula, and brought a solid combat system which is the thing that carries the game right until Pulse.
