Lots of cutscenes isn't a good thing, especially when games nowadays are being rewarded for being more immersive, which a cutscene is the anti-thesis of.

Oh, and you must play the Disgaea games. It pretty much focuses on gameplay as well and its FANTASTIC. Their characters are awesome as well.

Ug...

I'd rather games try and tell the narrative through the gameplay. However I'm suer the cutscenes are of high quality.

I've played every single Final Fantasy game, including the spin-offs: Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus, etc.. I would consider myself a dedicated Final Fantasy fan. Final Fantasy 3 is my least favorite, because it pretty much had no story at all. I have also played FF1 twice, FF2 twice, FF3 once, FF4 twice, FF5 once, FF6 twice, FF7 twice, FFVIII 5 times, FFIX 5 times, FFX 3 times, and FFXII twice. I'm sorry, but you are very incorrect.

I don't go around counting time during cutscenes in a game, I honestly didn't think it was 10 hours and I obviously made that post because I enjoy More story than Gameplay, thats what I think about any JRPG I play.

Xenosaga was the reason I got Xenogears. and I liked XENOSAGA better.

oh yeah, I said it!

Xenosaga's storyline was great and all, but better then Xenogears? Something is very wrong here.

People are acting like 10 hours is a lot, it would be if the game was 30 hours, but we already know is much more than that, so I think the 10 hours will be well distributed in the game.

Yes the Battle System in FFXIII is the most hardcore I have played it is very fast and even the most easy of enemys can take you out in packs of 4 or more if you are not on the ball.

You should also check out FFX-2 it is awesome.
