wow. speechless. two terrible reviews already.

More importantly, the bad reviews have come from major publications. If IGN and Game Informer follow suit, the game is pretty much screwed.

I'm sure these reviews have already impacted sales.

So what exactly did they learn from the beta if they chose to release the game in this condition. On the bright side, at least the music is good. Based on what I saw in that review, the game really has a lot of potential. it's mind-boggling how they managed to screw up each and every potentially great and unique aspect of the game. I mean, you would expect them to succeed at maybe one component due to luck; it really takes an incredible amount of skill overcome luck.

guess i will stick with playing final fantasy 11 : online instead, they should have just taken ff11:online and put that onto the ps3 with updated graphics instead it seems.

How is this a surprise?

 

Especially for a game that has got nothing but very bad press for the past few months. From experience, it's just a bad game.

When Outlawauron says a Final Fantasy is bad you know somethings really wrong

He speaks the truth. This is the first Final Fantasy game I have ever played that I thought was bad.

When in doubt, Wait for Guild Wars 2.

They should really rush to Final Fantasy VII remake now! Or develop a great original RPG like Chrono Trigger. Square-Enix is doomed. This is very very sad. I cannot believe in what is happening. Where are the good old incredible japanese games? :( 

if you want  a good japanese game i suggest yakuza!

What are you talking about? They still have Dragon Quest which they haven't screwd up yet, but the Enix side is in charge of that series. So pretty much, Square is doomed.

FFXIII, NIER and KH:BBS are all better than DQIX

Square isn't doomed.

See what happens when I state opinion like a fact?

Funny thing is that the game started to get (more and more) negative (p)reviews ever since SE announced the x360 won't be getting this game.

ps. Some of the obvious PS-haters on this forum posting in this thread could be a confirmation of the above.
