Scottie has written his first review in a long time, for Final Fantasy XIII, PS3 version. If you're still deciding wether or not to get the game, or just looking for something to do then you should check it out. Feel free to leave comments in this thread or attached to the review itself

Also, please don't go there and just look at the score, I disagree with the concept of scores for a game and I only put them in there because there is no option to not (only an option to give scores of 0, which is not the same as not giving scores)

Scottie speaks in the third person? Just like The Rock!! Hey Scottie does your review have any spoilers? If it doesn't I'm clicking the hell out of that link and reading the fuck out of that review!

Scottie did not include any spoilers. Read the fuck out of that shit

The review is a somewhat haphazard in it's presentation and writing, but I think it provides a good representation of the game from your point of view. People who approach these games from a similar standpoint, might come away with a similar opinion and might rate the game the same, which I think makes the review a useful read. Some criticisms you have of the graphical presentation are obviously going to seem more legitimate to someone that also does not have an HDTV to play the game on, but that is okay because those people would probably like to know what to expect. I think your rating follows your take on the game pretty well. Criticisms about terrain and whatnot are fairly old to the genre, as there are very few JRPGs where terrain is anything more than a colorful backdrop. I don't know if I would knock a FF game for continuing the tradition. Otherwise, your rating seems to fit your experience pretty well.

I give this thread a 9.7.

I read. I liked. I posted my opinions. Thanks for the good read, Scottie!

Cheers for the feedback. the review did end a bit less coherent than I had hoped - ahh well, hopefully I'll improve on that if I do more reviews
