The cgame cold be only cutscenes that the reviewers would give the same score (or even above). Maybe even an 10, like MGS4.

So, FFXIII is a CG game, when it has about 6 hours of cutscenes in a 50-60 hours, main quest only game? 90% gameplay over 10% cutscenes and you consider it a CG game? I want to laugh so hard, but it's not even worth it.

 

I don't have idea on how much gameplay/cutscene time the game has. The po9int is that they consumed 95% of the game in CGs. They could have made like the biggest game ever, but no, they waste that in flashy cutscenes. And tha's what pisses me off: the Blu-ray has capabilty to do a gigantic game full of contet, but waste that in stories. Reck, a gameboy game is a more sofisticated "game" than this.

What does Blu-Ray got to do with this?

Do you even know that the move from Cartdriges to CD's back in FFVII, had also almost all CD's filled with FMV instead of content?

This happens with all FF's, no matter the physical format they're in.

Also, a gameboy game more "sofisticated" than this? I think this phrase pretty much sums up your intentions. 

Maybe Blu-ray having like 50 GB has something to do with it?

And no, just the Final Fantasy after VII had like 80% CGs. FF I-VI were all more gameplay driven rather than Cutscenes driven.



Above: still the best game of the year.

I AGREE WITH YOU!

GO FFXIII!

Agreed all FF games like all DQ games are awesome in different ways that is way I love the Ff series and from what I have played of the Japanese Version of FFXIII it is no less awesome then the rest.   

Excellent, glad to hear this from someone who's played it!

I can't wait for March 9th, nice to see you liked it!!!!

Will you be buying the western version (I think I asked you this before lol but forgot the answer)?!!!

I might but there is almost certainly going to be a directors Cut before the end of this year in Japan just like FFVII International FFX International, FFX-2 International and FFXII International I will be getting that when dose get released. So I would have 3 copys of the game but but I do have 3 copys of FFX, FFX-2.

I agree that all FF's post VI had had too much quantity in terms of cutscenes, but also they have had quite a large amount of content.

FFX and FFXII are pretty much the FF's with the largest amount of content. While you could finish a pre-FFVII game, main quest and all side-quests completed in 70-80 hours, FFX and FFXII, when fully completed, can both take over 100 hours. 

% of disk used in FMV's means pratically nothing if they leave space for content, you just can't expect that all space would be used for content.

Even though Blu-Ray is a larger optical format, you also have to see that textures and content also takes way more space than it did before on DVD or CD, like it should, with the evolution of graphical engines.

Definitive RPG of this Generation. Nuff' said.

 

 

 

Until Final Fantasy Versus XIII comes out at least.

 

 

 

Actually, until Xenoblade arrives. That game will be the definitive rpg this gen. It will blow every other jrpg out the water (at least story and music-wise).

The Last Story >>>>>>>> Xenoblade

 

LMAO, play a Xeno game before you say crazy stuff like that :P Xeno games bring the most in depth and mature storylines known to jrpgs.

Have you played Digital Devil Saga? Mature JRPG also.

Of course. The Digital Devil Saga series is VERY deep and mature. I love it (minus the extreme amount of random battles, Sera and Heat). Xenogears and the Xenosaga series is still more deep, mature, in depth and overall better though (minus Shion, Allen and Xenosaga: Episode 2's battle system).

Agreed.



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix!

I like the CGI in FF games. Maybe they have lost alot of gameplay in the last few. But the CGI cutscenes are 1 of the reasons I buy FF's now. I love them. I just hope to god the option of not backtracking isnt gonna really bug me. Because I love exploration in FF to. Even if you cant do it till disc 3 on FF8, it was still possible. However I like the characters in 13. They look really cool and intriguing. We will see I guess. The last feww FF's have been good games for me not greats in the series.

I think....

Nah I know FF13 will be better than M.E.2 for me. Seems that way with every new FF game.
