Square had an opportunity to create another signature minigame that is fully fleshed out and involved that has nothing to do with battling or whatnot (of course im talking about games like blitzball and all those) yet they decide to do nothing... That pisses me off, do they not care what the fans want? I would be completely fine with everything else, although not having nice towns to travel to and interact with tons of npc's sounds a little annoying, I could get over that too. I was just hoping for something like blitzball that would steal away hours and hours of my life, instead they turned this game into one LONG action game. Ill still buy it, but I hope that versus XIII takes a different design approach and gives us something to do when the game is over, I loved going after ultimate weapons in ffX and maxing everyone out, I had a game save with over 150 hours of work on that game just to max everyone out. All I want is a better looking FFIX, or VIII, or even VII. Looks like this wont be it... sucks.

This guys gave Valkyria Chronicles 10 as far as I remember.

sry thats a lie. those things are in ff13, and neogaf ppl hve finished it and they are finding those weapons and doing monster hunts and so on. apart frm this i hope this game dusnt do well so square go bck to making ps1 ff type games

Hey these ainn't too bad. VII's too high but otherwise this is pretty respectable.

Eh. XII showed that, when they put their minds to it, Squeenix does some of the best localizations in the business, if not the best.

For what we seen from previous the english dub is looking pretty great, but am totally hating Fang's voice, why does she have a irish accent? It really detracts from her overall sex appeal to me.

im not liking the non exploration aspect ano towns shops etc.

i guess they felt pressured into making it more modern experience, some may like it some not.

As for me, Crisis Core is a 3/10 game. The scores they've given to other FFs, except for VII and IX, are pretty much spot on for me.

good review is good enough for me.

These guys are pretty harsh reviewers in general, so take it with a grain of salt. I think I'm gonna love this game, from the previews/reviews.
