Forums - Gaming - GamesRadar FFXIII Review -- 10/10!! (GREAT Score)!

Seems like that 10/10 was a "political" move designed to bring the metascore up a bit rather than being a true reflection of the score they would have given in isolation. Oh well, they probably only bumped it by 0.5 so not that big of a deal.

Generally, it seems like a game much closer to FFX than FFXII, which is very good, IMO. Not all hope is lost, FF fans!

Hey, lestatdark, what's up?

Hey routsounmanman ;) 

Yeah, FFXIII is made by the same team that made FFX, so it will be a lot close in terms of how everything develops and unfolds in the game. These 5 days are going to be torture to wait for the game xD  

You loved FF12 though didn't you? So would you have preferred it if Team FF12 had made FF13?

oh & I might get it on saturday, GAME have dispatched the order today!!!!! OMG!!

Nahhh. As much as I loved FFXII, it would be too much too soon for them to work on another main FF. Each FF has it's uniqueness in that it feels different from the last one and I hope they keep at it ;) 

Hope that you get the game on saturday :D  

cool just what I wanted to here

glad to see you like change too!!!!! lol

I knew you would say that, but wanted you to say it to set it as an example for other people

I think that FF fans should be used to the fact that each new installment of the main series is different, rather than waiting for them to mimic the exact same things of FF's of the past. There's no excuse for even those FF fans from the pre-PS1 era, and that's counting those that have followed the series from the start, like me.

That tone was set right from FFII, which made humongous changes to the FF and JRPG formula. It was the very first JRPG to use a differential leveling system. Each action had a consequence to your stats or growth. You used a spell, you gained a level for the spell, you improved your MP, your intelligence stat. You suffered damage, you improved your HP and your vitality stat. It had no MP system, which also was a huge departure from even todays JRPG standard.

Yet, nowadays FFII is considered a classic, and people overlook those changes. Why can't they do the same for each new FF is beyond me. I guess you put it right, everyone who wants to hate on each new FF, will find reasons to do so.

FF13 was my most anticipated game EVER! Am still getting the game (Hopefully) first day for PS3 but after watching the 360 Video of FF13 Gameplay, i am seriously disappointed with the voice acting, Possibly the worst voice acting i've ever heard in the series and FFX was better in terms of voice acting. FF13 VOICE ACTING SUCKS !

Erm... No it doesn't

LOL! are you serious? So your telling me the voice acting good? Your crazy

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Hahaha! S'all good man we're both getting the game, I've just finished WKC and boy was it GOOD!

Hopefully FF13 will be even greater! although i won't expect any good looting system/upgrades features which is feature in WKC

FF13 gameplay looks like a masterpiece! I would be happy if SE provided English subs and japanese voice because am disappointed with FF13 Eng voice acting lol i seriously thought it was edited and redone by the uploaders as a joke LOL especially when Lightning said SERAH its your fault HAHA



I think the voice acting is good. Can anyone tell me if they lip sync is actually good now? I remember back at TGS09 I only watched the 1st 20 seconds and Snow was WAYYYY off. But the voice fit well.

I believe it was because it was dubbed.
