Traitors! Stone them to death! :P

"...But the lack of anything substantial to do beyond fleeing and fighting soon brings the game crashing back to earth, and even when the walls are lifted Final Fantasy XIII’s world can seem strangely lifeless. As a technical feat the game is a triumph, but it seems a slave to its own spectacle, manacling the gameplay to serve its own bombastic vision and ultimately while the excellent combat and stunning visuals are enough to recommend it, they're not enough to earn it a place amongst the series’ top rank."

What ever, i'm still getting it day one!

i agree with the reviews so far

i pictured ff12 with better graphics and sound, and a new story

seems like thats what im getting

and im jazzed tbh, as ff12 is the only decent one made since snes (imho)

to add i did like x-2 as well

I'm actually going to read this review. It should be good for a laugh or two.

Darth, it's not ok to strangle people!

Anywayz, gonna read the review now.

not a bad score
im still getting this for my 360 sometime this month
(after I'm done with GoWIII )

for what i have seen of the game so far 83/100 still seems high.
it seems to be veeeery linear and scripted and i don't even think the graphics are that good. the chars look really, really good, but the environment is rather bland. (not that it really matters that much to be in an rpg, just saying)

putting all your effort in cinematics = fail

...still, i haven't played it and these are only my impressions... but then again i guess almost no one here has played it, so those who glorify it don't have a point either ;)

Well the main thing they didn't like was the gameplay, like gameplay matters...

good square removed so much stuff to keep the ps3 version equal to the 360 and its biting them in the arse. they turn their backs on us and we'll turn our backs on them. ff13v is looking great though ill get that and im sure versus will be everything 13 wont. i can predict now versus will be critically and commercially successful compared to 13. im not saying 13 wont sell but imma predict versus will outsell it even as a ps3 exclusive

yeah his points are nut,
considering gameplay and hours to complete.

he is probably a casual gamer, grinding its requirement for asian RPGs.
