In JRPGs: Lost Odyssey, Star Ocean 4, White Knight Chronicles, and Blue Dragon all have towns...

In WRPGs: Dragon Age Origins, Fallout 3, Mass Effedct 1 and 2 all have towns...

Hell, ME2 was developed in 2 years and has a solid handful of full robust FF-sized towns, as well as just as long a singleplayer and a lot more sidequests.

FFXIII had a 4 year development cycle and couldn't break its linearity at all? Why are people still defending this game?

Very well said Naza finally someone says it! there is no excuse, no what-so-ever.

Exactly naznatips and seraphic, no excuses at all.  As you said, many developers and their games have included towns and plenty of npc's to interact with and numerous sidequests to accomplish.  4 years and no towns, nomura please bring us the definitive final fantasy experience because someone needs to.

I rather wait for 2 years for much bigger exploration like FFXII. I was waiting this since 2006 and i really trust them to mkae this game the most epic game ever. I'm quite dissapointed. Well the game will be amazing but not as good as I imagined . It is just town but everything else will be great (still my most anticipated game). Hope FF Versus XIII will be better.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII is going to be MASSIVE:

See how relaxed Noctis is? Nothin to worry about!


I hope you are right

Its not that people are defending it, they are just not looking for reasons to not buy the game. Obviously this is not going to be the same as previous final fantasy were as there have been many sites and news with fan/nerd rage about it. Heck it could be the worst final fantasy of the entire series, but people still want to buy it because despite the linearity or the lack of towns it could still and it's looking like its a good game. I mean it's like them cutting town is now THE reason for me not to buy.

I am so sick of hearing how this game has no damn towns. It is on the same scale of Final Fantasy Xs towns. For Christ sake GET OVER IT.

Honestly I actually like that they are doing this. and no I don't blame the 360 for this either.

I have no doubt in my mind when this game releases, its still going to be one of the best JRPG's of this Generation, just because it doesn't have some things, that doesn't make it a bad game at all. There aren't that many JRPG's that give you an experience quite like Final Fantasy XIII. I enjoyed the hell out of the Japanese Version, and I will definitely be buying this game again on the 9th of March.

It is Final Fantasy, and Final Fantasy always raises the bar and takes the JRPG genre to another level and that is exactly what XIII will do.



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix!

Pathetic, absolutely pathetic.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

He isn't relaxed, he is just thinking (calmly) about what he should do. So... he has a lot of problems to solve.

We should worry!

Good. Less NPCs to deal with.

towns provided lots of interesting side quests and a break from dungeon crawling, this disrupts the flow of JRPG's, it used to be town>dungeon> town>dungeon> and so on with some cut-scenes thrown in, FFXIII throws all that out of window and we are left with dungeon>dungeon>dungeon> with lots of cut-scenes in-between, i will still get this game, but i am not hyped for it anymore.
