It's certainly the only FF game that has really caught my eye, still don't know whether it's caught me anough to want to buy it though; maybe when it goes platinum and is 1/2 the launch price, then I'll be able to buy it used for 1/3 of the launch price no no no, its the perfect FF for newcomers to join the franchise & its certainly caught the eye of many non JRPG people I know too if they market it with those amazing CGI cut scenes people like YOU will buy it! Why the no, no, no? Are we not generally in agreement here? @ Zenfolder: So does that mean you already own a PS3 or will you be in the market for one when FFVsXIII comes out? its because you said "still don't know whether its caught me enough to want to buy it" It WILL convince you, I will!

Hmmm, your enthusiasm vs. the tightness of my wallet. Who will win?

FF13 will win!

oh，it seems you are serious，take it easy，this article is a joke itself.I don't think this editor is professional enough according to his words，you can see many many reviews such as this on forum.

LMAO Hilarious. Coming to America's gameplay was great though, remember the Samuel L. Jackson boss fight?

Back on topic: Has anyone ever went by this magazine's reviews before? If not, why start now?

Canceling a pre-order based on one review (let alone and unheard of one) = A BITCH-MADE REACTION

Man, it was nice back in the day when it wasn't "cool" to not like FF...

Dude, Hong Kong is in China. They don't allow the internet there.

Didn't the head of Square-Enix say it was time for the Final Fantasy team to move onto other projects?

Modern Warfare 2, on the PC, was rated lower than Big Rigs, so take anything people say with a grain of salt.

How many samplings from a buffer does one have to do before saying "Enough" is enough?

If every review that says a Final Fantasy game is disappointing makes you want to go out and buy and play Final Fantasy VII again, will you every move on to another game?
