So, an official Ff13 thread for the two people here who like Jrpgs and final fantasy =D

It hasn't received to many good reviews which I expected from watching the Japanese version, the words ''to linear'' and the story not being amazing has came up several times.

Still didn't get rated bad, and the PS3 version seems to be better because of graphics (omg the consolewars are coming)

who's getting it? who got it? Who played it?

It got good length,
Good amount of cutscenes and decent story to follow
Characters are likable except one most say
fighting system is great

Getting it as soon as I get money,

Discuss mangz

Got it today. Played it for about 10 minutes. What I experienced was actually pretty damn good. Although, I did expect something terrible. But it's a nice change of pace from the influx of FPS' and RPGs.
I'll see if my opinion changes come disk 3.

I was always a fan of Final Fantasy games until 10 came out. I didn't completely hate it but it just wasn't that great in my opinion. 12 though I had no interest in even playing after seeing it being played, and now I really wouldn't mind if I never get to play 13. But, if I had a PS3 I would definitely buy the exclusive version for it, that one looks really cool to me.

I plan to pick it up eventually.

**** my life... Final Fantasy, as many people already know, is my favourite series. IX and X were awsome, XII a little less awsome, but still great.

Although, I don't have a ps3... But mark my word, I will probably get one just to play this. And also when is versus XIII coming out?

And no, I dont have a 360 either, just pc.

Hm, your in a pretty crappy spot there. You're going to have to buy one or the other.

Yep, i have been dreading this moment since i finished XII in 2006. I just realised, my shitty name has XIII in it.

XII was boring as shit

Well seems Im the only one who begged and bought it at launch : P. And yea youre the second person I meant Cronos lol

Well im 10 Hours in, good so far, but its not like the good ol' final fantasies which is pretty dissapointing to me (im also prob one of the only ones liking turn based better then Atb). While playing this I kept thinking about how I should replay 7,8,9

The cutscenes are really good, the battle system is nice once you finally get some new moves, and the characters are really cool, and the voice acting isn't corny at all which I expected.

Its very very linear like everyone said, no big world map, no going left or right, mostly just one path. Its not that bad, but it gets slightly slightly boring sometimes.

The places I've been too are Ok, I particularly liked one spot, at the beach, beautiful background and everything, I hope more of those come around.

You don't have control over whos in your team (I got 5/6 chars atm) as the story continues, certain pairs just split up, or argue and go there own way then you controll them. [I heard this will change later on]

So far,

Nice battle system
A bit to linear (But it will change 3/4th of the game)
Nice characters
Loving the cutscenes and the talking (I really missed this in ME2 during missions) chars keep talking and the chars you arn't controlling are just walking forward, or screaming things at you while you walk

Finally some new moves and summons after like 4 hours, the first hours was mostly just attack, or blitz (Area over effect spinning move) which got boring after a while, but after a few hours you get more roles and can switch everything up =D

You can retry instead of game over/load after loosing a battle, and your hp/status gets healed after each battle (Which I find kinda bad, but its ok) Also theres little to no difference between ps3/xbox version, xbox people rumored was at 576P, and ps3 720P, but on the back it just says 720p, the graphic difference is very little, it comes down more to what type of tv you got.

Ffversus no release date yet I think, so that might stake a while. Its also an action adventure/Action Rpg like kingdom hearts more or like then the other final fantasy's

Did you get it for the Playstation 3 or the Xbox 360?

I just got it a little bit ago, I agree in XII they shouldn't of tried to change the battle system. I love the game so far, it's really liner so far though. I have it for the PS3.

I have it for the Xbox for the achievements, but I've seen the comparisons, slightly blurrier/less sharp backgrounds on xbox, but I'd say it more comes down to what type of Tv you got since its not that big. But if you're doubting between them I would go for the ps3 since its exactly the same but with better graphics

Oh ok.

And yeah, final fantasy did start to change, the biggest change being ffXII with the new combat. I don't know why people dislike X though. I thought it was extremely good, with an emotionally attaching storyline.

Do we really need 13 final fantesy games? i don't know im not a fan of RPG's so maby im wrong but...13?
