Chapter 1 - 8.0 - Starts off a bit slow, and the nifty battle system is made somewhat boring due to the "auto battle" button.
Chapter 2 - 8.5 - Interest starts rising!
Chapter 3 - 9.5 - The environment is absolutely incredible! You also gain access to Paradigm Shifts, really livening up the battle system.
Chapter 4 - 9.0 - Brought down a bit by drab environments and enemies that can be tedious to kill because of their high health. However, the battle system keeps getting cooler as new Paradigms are introduced alongside the party members gaining access to new moves. Given the thought you have to put into which Paradigms you should use, the "auto battle" button suddenly makes a bit more sense, as you can only focus on so much at once.

Overall - 2.0/10

cool thanks fro posting your impressions

Looks like Paradigm shifts really aren't the gimmick I thought they were gonna be! lol

n lightnings hot huh!

Yup! Vanille's almost as hot, but she looks goofy cuz she's pigeon toed and has an annoying English VA.  Her voice sounds perfectly normal sometimes (a bright English with no real discernable accent), and other times it's some weird Southern US variant with a hint of British.

Honestly, the voice kinda killed her for me.  =/

lol apparently she's meant to have an australian accent!

Reviewers have HATED her....looks like many other people are hating her too.....I knew I was gonna hate her the moment I saw her the first tine :(

Hate at first sight! lol

I loved her the first time I saw her!  It's really just the voice that brings her down.

I wouldn't say she sounds Australian at all.  The chick with dark hair definitely does, though.

*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.

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

UPDATE FOR THE NEW PAGE!

 

 

Analysis:

Now as many more people are joining our results are becoming more reliable. The general trend seems to be that the further we get away from chapter 1 the better the game gets. In crystalchilds rating there is a massive difference of 2.5 points between chapter 1 & 2. AS the game finally launches tomorrow we will get to see many more ratings put on here!

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



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

'kay, here's mah rating for Chapter 4: 9.0

@ FFXIII > all question:

nah.. i feel too cutted of from everything. i really have to admit that the linearity, and the low ammount of conversation (with outsiders/strangers) is a bit negative. BUT as i read from many Mags, it'll change, so im looking forward.



I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!

Agreeing with MM on the voice thing there. Really sounds strange at times.
The rest of voices work pretty well for me.

The game is real eye-candy, (37" full hd) and so far the story unfolds in a (to me) very nice way. If this keeps up it can become my favorite for a while. (dont know if that stays for years though)

It's hard to rate chapters because they aren't comparable to anything yet after playing the first two. And since i've only played Valkyria untill chapter 7 on my ps3 it definitely is hard to compare it to other games. (too bad i'm playing 'the' best game this gen as the first on my ps3, nothing but dissapointments coming after this one lol)

But... here goes nothing:

Chapter 1 : 8.3
Chapter 2: 9.3

From what I've hear in trailers I think Fang has a sexy voice!

Ever since I saw vanille I knew she was gonna be the type of JRPG character that I dislike....maybe I'll like her though...who knows....outlawauron says she's adorable!

How's emo hope....I hope he doesn't have a typical whiny voice they give to "child characters" in JRPG's

Darth if you don't like hard well prepare for chapter 6 ~~



and Hope is emo but it ain't that bad though I want to kill the person that thought it was a good idea to put him in the game



Huya I detest hard, "not like" is an understatement

but I didn't really find the other FF games hard except for FF12....but thats cus I refused to use gambits & wanted to manually control everyone



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

You will get used to it though but at some fights might suprize you since you will get 2 hitted ~~
