Forums - Gaming Discussion - Final Fantasy XIII holds 10 hours of cutscenes

Well that seems a lot but its not that much when you consider the total lenght of the game.

More story and less gameplay is what I like most.



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!

Really? well I want more gameplay then cutscenes.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

To be honest, I never played a Final Fantasy game for gameplay, thats the least of my worries. Good story/scenery and music is all that matters to me. But to each their own, right? :P

I think you will be getting more gameplay anyway.

I'm actually playing FFVII for the first time, and although the actual gameplay is fun, the story is just way too long and slows down the game. I feel like I'm reading a book at times. Just not my thing.. If FFXIII is going to be like that, I might have to pass it up. I just don't find it very fun to sit there for 10 minutes pressing one button through the dialoge.

It's werid because I actually like many RPGs, but paradoxically hate games with long drawn out stories and cutscenes. I guess I just mainly like the RPGs where the story and cutscenes are not forced upon you, and there is more emphasis on action and exploration. Games like Oblivion where you can read the material whenever you want at your own pace, or chose to bypass it completely. And games like Secret of Mana, with very short cutscenes and little dialoge throughout the game. I think the player should always dictate the flow of the game, not the game itself.



Usually I crap on any news relating to ff13 these days but this time around I'm actually for this news. I didn't like ff12 because there really was no story but ff13+more cutscenes=win.

Thats jrpgs for you. Their main focus has always been on story.



That's a beautiful thing, that is.

Just about a month left :)

The pace of Final Fantasy XIII is just fine, I don't think the cutscenes will annoy you that much, especialy since it has an engrossing story. If the story is REALLY good, does it still bother you?
