Forums - Gaming - Why Edge rated FFXIII so low!

kingofwale on 07 March 2010

yawn! Seriously, why do people still care what EDGE has to say?

To be fair, based on the review, Enchanted Arm >FFXIII, Edge is now ranked lower than Playboy mangazine when it comes to review credibility.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

People should remember Enchanted Arms came out in 2006. 3 years later, standards have probably changed, I doubt the game would still get the same score today.

Thats true, enchanted arms was actually one of the first rpg's overall to appear on HD consoles...

Though even BY todays standards, i give it an' 7 outta' 10. fun little game it was.

I'm realky on the fence now.Used to love FF but at 27 I think I'm growing out of it. SO and others are absolutely horrendous!!! Infantile characters with squeekuy voices.
FF is usually a day off work and a happy 40 quid spent. Not sure this time with GOW3 being a day1. Anyone else in my boat? IMO of course before the fanboys start lol.



Ynwa.

I loved Enchanted Arms. I want FROM Software to create a sequel or spiritual successor to Enchanted Arms. lol. I liked the srpg-esque grid-battle system (though it is more time-consuming than the standard traditional jrpg battle systems. Using Auto-Battle + Fast-Forward for randoms eliminated that problem though), customization (nothing complicated or original. Just spend Skill Points to learn skills and improve attributes), golem collecting (straight out of pokemon), the casino minigames, and the humour (I never knew that having an idiot for a main character would make for great lulz). The game was very linear too so this is why I don't think linearity is necessarily a game-breaking thing for FF13.

But it is, FFXIII has to raise the bar not be on par with Enchanted Arms.
