actully most of th time ppl who dnt like a game go nd give it low user ratngs, evn 1's or 0's on purpose. u hve no proof to shw it hs most disappointd fans becaus in usr reviews on this site it is over FF12, on playfire (best user rating website becaus u get lots of ppl voting who own th game) it hs same user ratng as ff10,8 and highr thn ff12. It is also shwing bettr legs than FF12.

yes critic is lowest whch is bad, u are rite on tht point.

It hs not shown a decline, ff13 is alredy 3rd best selling ff in europe, will go higher. in america it will also outsefll ff8 by th end of its lifespan, it hsnt dun tht just out ov hype becaus FF8 has much more hype thn FF13 when it released, so did FF10. So actully ff13 is highest selling ff since ff10, it hs reversed decline of FFx-2 and ff12.

ur critics point is true, bt evn edge who gave it a 5/10 sed it hd the best battle system in th series.

No my worry that Agito XIII won't sell well and won't make any money.

i dont know what you guys seeing from these graphics on the scans , they look like Nier to me

For fucks sake, in what language is AkibaFan writing?!

i liked FF13 battle system..............!

the characters though focus a lot on their focus >_>;

I enjoyed it too. But Auto-Battle was a feature I will not miss in the future.

Thankfully S-E never does a support mechanic that is mandatory for their games. Even if they implement some kind of facilitator for battles in Versus, it won't be mandatory. 

Also isn't this a pure action RPG? So Auto-battle would be hard to implement. 

Update More details about Final Fantasy Versus XIII:

Apparently, the included screens show a massive wilderness scene. Also included is a battle scene that's set in a city modeled after Shinjuku, and a scene showing a gasoline stand.

Says Nomura about the game's world, "If you try to go all the way to the end, it's truly far."

Also from the Nomura interview:

The game's cloud effects use real physics calculations
The world is an open field, and you can go everywhere except for the mountains
The battles are seamless
The game's encounter system is both random and symbol-based (meaning you can see enemies in advance). Hmm... what could this mean?
The game's world is mostly seamless, although there are some load points when you switch between the massive areas.
You can destroy objects that you find on the road.
The quality of the combat scenes is so high that people will not be able to believe it when they first see it.
The staff is excited about making the game.

Nomura also confirms that the screens in the magazine are all realtime, captured off the PlayStation 3. Of course, this won't mean much until we can actually see the screens...

dude did u nt see grfx in scan, evn though I wsnt that impressed xbox 360 cnt do those visuals man. Dnt worry its nt going to xbox 360.
