The game starts VERY SLOW, WAY SLOWER than Final Fantasy X. I remember that I HATED the first hour in FFX (especially when you first meet Rikku). Final Fantasy XIII is even worse.

The story so far is OK. Some of the dialogs were corny. I played only 2 hours. So it's too early to judge. The battle system on the other hand is brilliant, especially when it gets more complex in chapter 3. You might find it boring in the first 2 chapters since you can't learn anything during those 2 chapters.

Graphically, the game is beautiful and the cut-scenes are impressive. Even on the Xbox 360. As for the music, it fits the game like a glove. The voice acting is good, except Vanille. She's extremely annoying.

I like Lightning so far. Snow is OK. Vanille is annoying. Not a big fan of Hope. And I LOVE Sazh.

Final Fantasy XIII is the kind of game that gets better with each minute. The first couple of minutes on Chapter 3 blows everything on Ch.1 and 2. Keep in mind that I'm only 2 hours and 20 minutes in.

Chapter 1 - 6.2/10 (sorry Darth)
Chapter 2 - 7.9/10

I played only 10-15 minutes of chapter 3. It's WAY better than the previous chapters. So don't worry.

*The EVENT Is RUNNING Now*

The basic concept around this is to get YOU the user on VGChartz rating this game.

Final Fantasy XIII is divided into chapters, so it would be good if people could rate each chapter as they are playing along. Ofcourse with your rating a small written "review" for the chapter without spoilers would be great.

Here the table for FFXIII's VGCritics!

Note: All rating must be out of 10 & you can go up to 1 decimal place!

 

 

Analysis:

Chapters 1's rating plummets as Fab_GS also comes in to rate the chapters, it seems the feeling that the beginning is "slow" is mutual among our VGCritics! What is clear is that post chapter 2 the ratings are all on a higher level!

Remember -- Keep Rating Chapters as you play the game....spoiler free!

You will enjoy chapter 3 and the final boss in chapter 4:D. I just need to finish this schoolwork so I can keep on playing with chapter 5:

:(

I was hoping for higher scores, I hope your not disappointed with it so far :(

Yeah FFX's start was AWFUL!

in that regard FF12's starting bits were very good (compared to 10).

Awaiting your chapter 3 rating!

I'll make the VGCritic Update now!

 

I'm disappointed at how the game started.

I'll post my chapter 3 impression tomorrow.

His personality, and the voice actor.

I'm still 2+ hours in. I still don't know much about him.

For the xbox users:

Once you finish chapter 4 you have to disc swap. I have been playing around 9 hours and 20 minutes when I had to swap. Seeing the games main story is minimal 50 hours the other 2 disc should contain more~~

 

How long is chapter 3 and 4? It took me 2+ hours to finish chapter 1 & 2.

I loved how FFX started (story-wise). Seeing some otherworldly being sucking up the entire city with Auron talking to it and telling Tidus that this was the start of his story REALLY had me interested in the plot.

Chapter 4 is really long and it is a lot more difficult then the first 3 chapters.
