Hope, Yaag, Cid, and Rygdeas are the only bishonen in the game we know about. You know what, some of the Nora members are also bishonen. Nomura's style has revolved around belts, zippers, and bishonen. No suprise there.

lol outlaw.

Snow is a manly man.

Hope is a freaking kid, not a man so he doesn't count.

And who the hell is Yaag?

Yaag is one of the bad guys. Cid is also a bit of a fruit.

Man, I've been hearing alot of great things about FFXIII from people who are playing it. There are of course some negative impressions as well but that is to be expected from a FF game.

If you are hearing more great than bad things, that's a good thing IMO.

This game have to sell to new people that are not traditional FF fans. For fans any game that isn't a perfectly copy of VII or for the cult one VI the game is a shit.

Yeah, I'm hearing more good then bad. The only problems people seem to be having with FFXIII is that it's extremely linear and to some, the dialog is very corny (but that is mostly due to the Japanese-y terms and stuff that will most likely be altered when it's localized for the NA/EU). So pretty much, if you like you jrpgs story-driven (to the extreme) then you will have no problem with the linear direction FFXIII has taken. Also, the enjoyment of the storyline for the people in the NA/EU will be based on how SE localizes FFXIII's Japanese-y lines and terms which is said by some to be VERY corny. Lets hope SE really americanizes FFXIII, because if they don't...........

What japanese-y terms?   If they mean rushi and farushi, that's just how the Japanese pronounce l'cie and fal'cie, respectively.

I didnt manage to resist, and watched some live stream...heheheh...some spoilers ahead....



Well, it is linear, for many hours, but when it opens, it open WIDE (by what I saw)!
People can die (constantly!) by simple mobs, this game isnt forgiving, if you dont grind/play it with some strategy you get killed in seconds! Bosses that make you try it four five times are quite common...so there are some complains about that...
Grinding/leveling up is all about the improved grid sphere (its quite like it), so there is you leveling up, plus you can do it with your weapons also, those will get you some special status and such...more on when you are in the open wild....

So, people complains because no one will ever be completely satisfied anyway.

Hardly any towns? Are you sure? I like towns... :(
I don't hate FFXIII, it's hard to hate something I haven't played, but I don't like the lack of Amano's character design. FFXIII isn't the only FF that lacks that though.

I like towns as well.   I hope that this is off by a little bit.
