the reception is better than what FF12 got in Japan from importers & user reviews

so by your logic Final Fantasy died with FF12

LEts hope so psrock, lets hope so

There are so many mixed reviews out there. The reviewers that give bad marks get sh*t from the fans who haven't played the game yet, which is kinda funny.

As for me, I'm not hyped at all for FFXIII anymore. I'm a huge FF fan and looking at FFXIII, it seems it lost all it RPG roots.

I doubt its going to be the best selling one.
Regarding the review, I do agree with this "I had heard the opinion that “It’s amazing once you get to Chapter 11,” but why should you spend 20 or 30 hours on a game to get to the only enjoyable part? Just how do they intend to make me play this? Do they think I’m some kind of masochist?"

I'm not getting it though, a review from a gaming magazine I have never heard of told me the game was bad, and the guy who has been bashing FFXIII posted the review, so now, I am not buying the game, I'll just play it in my head.

So you trust the word of "random hong kong magazine" so much that you're already disappointed before even playing the game?

Here's a thought: Famitsu (which granted, has kind of been giving perfect scores left and right as of late) gave this game a 39/40. Do you know what that represents? It's equivalent to a 9,75/10. Do you know what it means when 2 reviewers differ so much in their opinion of something? It means bias. Or even crazier, it could be that maybe... I don't know, quality is subjective?

Stop forming opinions based on other people's opinions.

People shouldn't care about this kind of reviews, I'm pretty sure that FFXIII is a good game. not a 4/10 game.

I know that I'm going to hate it but that's only because of my tastes, I'm also sure that this game will get great scores when comes out in the rest of the world.

So ignore this shitty review please :P.

Keep in mind that this IS Hong Kong. They're the bootleg capitol of the world. They probably had a fake copy of the game called Phinal Phantasy 13 or something. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if the reviewer had a DVD of "Final Fantasy: Spirits Within and pressed buttons while he watched the movie on his Gamestation 3.




No offense to any of our Hong Kong members, I hope.

This is when reviews started going downhill.
