I could have sworn that you were going to go with "meh".

OT: I'm pretty damned excited. Not first day maybe, but after the wedding this weekend maybe I'll splurge.

i have it since saturday
and some since friday in greece

I would be more excited if this thread were in the gaming forum like it's supposed to be

I'm not hyped, but I'm looking foward to it. I happen to have the day off tomorrow, so I will go buy it and play as much as I can.

Im waiting for the PC version because graphics are the only important thing about this game.

How do you guys get it early with your pre-orders? I would like to find somewhere in Canada to "hook it up".

Its getting delivered tommorow, normally i would be hyped, but i`m very sick and feel awful.
And i`ve got a lot of homework so yay.

I`ll probably wait untill i feel better so i can really enjoy it, If i played it now it would make me feel better, but not as much as it would when i feel great.

I`m going to bed and get some rest, I`ll even eat my grandpa`s chicken soup for breakfast.
Its very yummy.

Night people

I'm glad I wasn't hyped about it.

I'm about 4-5 hours in now and I'm bored as hell. I'm a massive RPG fan and played and loved loads of different ones ranging from Korean grind MMOs, to Final Fantasies to Western and Jap RPGs.

FFXIII is a MASSIVE let down so far. Strip the graphics away and its just a case of run down corridors and repeatedly attack the same kinds of monsters, clicking either attack or defend. Your party is automated, and in a really bad way where you have no control and levelling just isn't fun because you can't even really use the skill you learn unless they're on your main character.

You can't interact with anyone and theres no dialogue choices, theres no shops apart from the bland save points and even getting items is boring since its always from the same randomly placed metal balls, guarded by monsters which only seem to contain the odd acessory.


Really struggling to play this game and this is coming from a guy who used to spend hours levelling up off repetitive monsters in chrono trigger and final fantasy 7.

Not excited at all
Not even the battle system which is the thing most people are saying positive things do thing for me.

It looks, imo, as just a bunch of flashes and numerals that came from out of nowwhere.
The only redeeming thing about this game is the battle theme... but that I can listen on youtube.

I will be picking up my copy tomorrow, however, will not get to play it until Wednesday as I'm working nights :(
