Reviews are all over the place. I don't know what to think. Guess I should buy it just to support single player games.

AWESOME!
C'mon Tuesday!
C'mon Tuesday!
Honestly, I can't wait :lol I wasn't really even planning on grabbing the game not too long ago. I know in my heart I'll love it, because, really, I haven't really ever played a bad FF game.
Only thing that sucks is right now Amazon says my order (PS3 game + Limited Edition guide) won't even ship until the 15th, and I'm to expect delivery around the 26th :lol

Fucking A. I really miss FF12 right now. I cant believe im having cognitive dissonance before i have even bought the dam game.
I just want to say, this might actually be the game that makes me go back to console gaming.
I've yet to acknowledge the current console generation. My PS3 as always been an upscaling dvd / part time blu-ray player. I come from as far as Atari days. It is the first generation of console gaming that I haven't embraced upon its release. Now is the time to amend for my sins.
Comfy couch, here I cometh !!!!!!!!!

Great thread Kagari. Hopefully I'll have this by tomorrow but probably not.

Release date delivery from Amazon for me here. I even used my free trial of Prime on this.
Please make mine a temporary one. I like it here. I'm such a nice guy. Please? :lol
Damn you and everyone else who can get release day shipping!!! I'd pick it up locally to be able to play it on Tuesday, but I have so much credit at Amazon I only pay 8$ total including the guideDigitalDevil said:
Plus then I get the bonus 10$ credit for the next game I'll buy so I guess I can wait the two weeks or whatever BS Amazon is spouting now User 10639

Honestly, that'd probably be a good thing. But I know Square has an irrational love for FMV.Himuro said:
Btw Kagari, maybe it would be interesting to put a link on the OP for the GAF post-game impressions thread of the Japanese release, there are some nice write-ups there.
Should probably take the Team Xbox review out of the OP considering it's down. And for good reason: posting a review while admitting you haven't played the third CD is a little foolish.
And for those surprised at the EDGE score, keep in mind they gave FFX a 6 out of 10. And they gave FFXII a 9 out of 10 I believe. As I said in the comparison thread it seems like this will break down into two groups of people:
- Those who have no issue with the game being linear and probably loved FFX. (I'm in this category.)
- Those who hate linearity and probably loved FFXII.
Neither group is wrong or right of course. The game being linear was a specific design choice and it comes down to whether or not you want a very linear RPG.

Pay the extra shipping and update the shipping to one day delivery. You should have it by the 16th.rhfb said:

FFX remains my favorite in the series, closely trailed by several others. I hope this means FFXIII will cause me to cum many buckets. :lol
omg rite said:
Erm, not much grounds for this assertion.
I may dislike X, but that thing was fantastically paced, and the linearity was not an issue. FF13 'issues'(If you believe them to exist) is of a slightly different sort.
Not that I care how the argument goes one way or another, just thought that this part of you post was not completely true.

$40!? I usually pay about, at most, $10 for 1 day shipping. I think it's usually more like $8.rhfb said:

I'm used to it. Amazon is even taunting me by offering me a trial for Prime again, even though it doesn't work for people in Alaska I'll just have to dip out of anything FFXIII related after people start getting the game and not jump back in until I finish the game :lol

Now that I've preordered it, I kinda can't wait to play it even though I've had extremely mild reception to this game since first learning of it.

I think FF X was really great despite being completely linear. I really didn't like that aspect, but I love the combat and other systems in the game, as well as the graphics and music. If XIII is a repeat, I'm all for it.
DownLikeBCPowder said:
Objectively, I think the game was good because of that. Very little filler in the way the game progressed, very well paced. And that was possible because of the way they plotted the game out (not to mention that it made sense, seeing as the game was about a pilgrimage).
Only way that aspect could have been improved is if there were no RB.

Well, I think we do disagree, but I see your point as you see it.

It depends on whether it takes in enough revenue to make up for that, I suppose. And they could just use the monstrous success of DQ on handhelds to keep subsidizing these graphics whore enterprises, if they wanted to. I dunno why they'd do that, but it's Wada, who knows what he's thinking?Himuro said:

No clips from the final dungeon. There is a clip from a boss fight that might be spoilerish if you are looking closely, but otherwise it's clear. If you want to check it out but want to be extremely safe, then just turn it on and flip to another tab to avoid watching the scenes but still hear the audio.
I find it sort of amusing how they used a lot of Vanille clips, almost in a derogatory fashion. All of the lines they picked for the review are terrible. No spoilers there either.
