Mar. 9th ~ Final Fantasy XIII

[bodhi]

the last RPG game that i played was Mario RPG, and that was on super nintendo

though the game doesn't look half bad
i am just not sure if i could get into the whole walking around, increasing my lvl or whatever like some pokemon game, but if i hear good things about it when it does come out i would be open minded about checking it out...


so please lmk when you guys get this shit, mmkay!
ive been pretty bored recently, and getting really tired of playing tekken 6 and modern warfare 2 all the time
my personal joystick is getting pretty boring as well...

i wanna play something new - something exciting!! something that makes me stay up till 4 in the morning :/

[bodhi]

the trailers look pretty cool
fighting gods and all that seems like an awesome game plot to me too... how would you guys rate the games?

[Sol-Badguy]

I may have to try it. I haven't played any past FFX.

[Greddypacked]

[bodhi]

the graphics on XIII make the rest of the FFs look like some primitive sega shit lol

definitely man, the entire GOD series is great. U def need to play the first 2 to get a feel of the game and the story b/c it all ties in. The collection pack is like $30 or $40 dollars in the stores for the first 2 on PS3 now

[JITB]

im prob gonna get it for Xbox... soon... cant wait to get into it!

[bodhi]

you suck mega dick for owning an xbox,

but yeah... check that shit out bro... its worth the money

[JDM onlyy]

Picked it up yesterday, games looks to be good and very interesting so far. Graphics are amazing, looks like the FFVII: Advent Children Movie ALL THE TIME.

[The Green Monster]

if it looks like advent children, then i'm definitely getting it sooner than planned lol

[1CleanEg]

^^ x2 lol

[Vteckidd]

I finally started playing it today, graphics are very good some of the best I've seen on PS3. I've only played maybe 30 min-45 min but so far I'm impressed lots of fun story is good but weird don't quite know what's going on

im with ya mayne. im bout an hour in and i dont fully understand whats goin on lol

[aer0s2k]

ps3 version is definitely the one to get cause of the higher resolution graphics since the bluray disc can hold more data. unfortunately for me, im stuck with the 360

[§treet_§peed]

I've played almost every Final Fantasy except for for 3-4 of them. I'll have to check this one out as well I guess.

[oneSLOWex]

I think its one of those games where you need to have played atleast one of the previous versions to know a little of what is happening.


Im really thinking of picking this up.

Nope. The only story that spanned more than on FF game was X-2.

[1CleanEg]

is it true that this one does not have exp points, mini games, free roaming maps???? And i heard they even left out the famous song at that plays at the end of battles????

[AfroMan]

Yea. Story is different. Just weird.

[1CleanEg]

wtf man??? im slowly starting to not want 2 buy it just yet....Those things are what made the FF series great all these years

[Vteckidd]

Watch the review online at gamespot

it ditches the free roaming maps to streamline gameplay , there is some form of xp as everything "levels" up

[Sol-Badguy]

it ditches the free roaming maps to streamline gameplay

I don't like the sound of that..

[Kason23]

I am playing it.. I LOVE it. Looks great.

Yes it ditches the freeroam and classic airship. But the story is REALLY great so far. You will be lost at first but everything starts to pick up around the time you learn the summons

[Vteckidd]

The graphics are prob the best I've seen on a console and on ps3

the story is hard to figure out what's going on as there is no backstory yet but I can sense it's coming

attack menu is cool and new

I haven't played a ff since ff7 and this one is really good

[osnap]

sadly enough, im a good 25 hours into the game (dont judge me, im on spring break and i had three straight days off of work). it is... phenomenal. the graphics are absolutely nuts, and what i really like is the fact that the combat system and chystalarium both just get more and more intricate... its as if the game blossoms. i love it.

just finished chapter 10 earlier. there are only 13 chapters, but supposedly the word is that there are a solid 50 hours of gameplay, so i guess these last 3 chapters are just gonna be massive.

[aer0s2k]

graphics look messy on the 360, which version are u playing osnap?

[Vteckidd]

I have a feeling the first 2-3 hours are just setting the game up and getting you used to the attack system and such. I'm about 2-3 hours in and it's addicting but I'm still waiting for it to really open up.

So far the shopping system seems useless as there's nothing in it, but again I think it comes alive later on

PS3.

LOL @ "first 2-3 hours". The first 20 hours is a massive tutorial. The combat system gets more and more intricate. And the shopping system is still expanding, too. Well, actually just more stores and items are available, bit you know what I mean.

[Vteckidd]

Ok thats what I was hoping. I'm through the paradigmn training and I'm climbing some huge hill below cocoon so I suspect I'm barely even into the meat of the game

[1CleanEg]

u guys have given me hope again, gotta go pick this up lol

[aer0s2k]

over 20 hours of tutorials?? talk about being overly noob-friendly

ff died after ffx when the real creators left the company. i just hope i didnt waste 63 bucks on this one..

[AZN_Pride]

So far the game is graphically amazing and is very fun. The battles can be a challenge, such as Odin and some other bosses. I am currently 10hrs in and have loved it thus far. My only complaint is that it is very linear. No room for exploration like in the previous games.

[osnap]

not literally. im just saying the combat system isn't fully fleshed out until a good 20 hours in. it builds on itself, so in essence its a "tutorial" in that its not so overwhelming all at once. you master one aspect, and then another is introduced. make sense?

[Maverick]

It starts to get better once your characters become L'cie, then you actually get shit to help build your characters. The first 2 hours you are just fighting and getting nothing for it. Its very easy compared to other FF, you get auto an auto attack function which makes everything easy. I cant stand the characters in the game. The main character is a bitch, the red head is annoying, the dood with the beanie is too freakin emo, and the little boy is a damn baby. And the black guy is the typical comic relief. They need to bring back the old school FF formula. I miss being able to rename everyone, now im stuck with stupid names like lighting,hope, and snow....

[HyPer50]

They went back to turn based attacks in this one right? I hated the realtime combat they had in Final Fantasy X-2.
