The fact that it looks like a giant pocket knife rather than an actual sword always makes me chuckle.remz said:

Going back to terrible American voice acting after the excellent VA in FFXII is really painful

Think about what you just wrote and you'll know the answer.
The first two hours are mind numbingly boring but I guess that really isn't unusual when it comes to JRPS. Graphics are nuts and once you get introduced to some new tricks the battle system suddenly becomes awesome. Got the PS3 LE version of the game and god is it pathetic. I'll going to exchange it back for a standard version.
BTW has anyone found the cover art online for the soundtrack? Searched before and couldn't find it.

Played for about 2 hours just past the point where
.
While it's still early, I can say right now that THIS is what's been missing from my life for the past 9 years. The battle system, atmosphere, story, characters, music; it's all there. It feels like I'm 14 again. My favorite series is back and it's just as good as ever. This isn't hyperbole; I truly feel this way.
I'm going to take a small break and then go back to play some more. I don't care that it's almost 3 AM. I've waited 4 years for this and I'm not gonna let something trivial like sleep get in my way.

I don't know if the text is different for US, but when you register a PAL copy it states in the e-mail:
2. Enter to become a beta tester for FINAL FANTASY XIV for PlayStation 3!
The promotional code also allows you to apply now for a chance to become a beta tester for FINAL FANTASY XIV for PlayStation 3. Click the link that appears below the FINAL FANTASY XIV promotional code and enter using the official beta tester application form.
So not a guarantee, just a chance. Although my guess is people will get in eventually.

It was most excellent. At least for an RPG.

God I hate you east coast types. I'm freezing my nuts off because for some insane reason the line is outside.cosmicblizzard said:
Glad to hear some good reviews though.
Up to Viles Peak and man it's been an incredible ride so far. The battle system so far is what's standing out for me, verrrrry fun and addicting once you are introduced to paradigm shift. I think I've never been invested into a game this much since I don't know when. Also the VA wasn't bad as I expected to be, it had it's funny moments, but overall pretty good. And the visuals, my god, mind blowing, the CG is one of the best I've ever seen. Can't stop playing.:lol
Edit: What?! That code will get you into FFXIV beta?!

Well, I was expecting something like party- & equipmentmanagement, shifting partymembers front to back and vice versa, using members as healers, tanks and damagedealers, switching equipment to better fight the foe you're facing, etc etc, kinda like previous Final Fantasies I've played. Right now, this feels like a linear movie where I'm asked to please not think, just keep pressing A.

I just got home from work (had customers until 1:20am). This was the biggest midnight turnout we had since CoD:MW2. I picked up my copy for the PS3 and CE guide. I won't be able to play it for awhile (tons of things going on right now) but I can't wait to dive into Square Enix's new entry to the FF series.
Game is great so far. Plot and character dev is already miles ahead of FF12 at the beginning. Lightening is such a badass and Sazh is so cool. No real opinion on Snow and Hope right now. Vanille isn't annoying me....yet. I kind of like her
Things I don't like:
WTF is up with the grayscale menu screen though? It's really jarring going from the gameplay to that and it's literally an eyesore for me >_<
Why won't square just go back to a FFX type battle system? Or at least give players an option? I want to control all my characters and play strategically. I don't want control of 1 character as a way to artificially speed up battles!
PS: I'm not getting the VA complaints. It's quite good so far...

Can't believe this is out now.
Anyone getting the 360 vers. over the PS3 one?
I may way and just get the PS3 one when I get a PS3. I don't like the idea of installing 3 discs on my hd since I only have a 60gb one *cry*

I think it's the writing rather than the VA. With the English version, people can fully understand the cliche, awkward, and unnatural dialogue.

Another thing I thought I would mention is the constant over dramatic breathing and gasping from Vanille and Hope when they first get weapons... My brother actually thought I was playing an erotic game or something. Quite funny!

It also states that FFIV will be PS3-only (console-wise).

So, I've played for about an hour and 40 minutes so far.
It's fun, the story is interesting and there's a lot to read and take in, but I can't help but notice that's all I've done.
All of the gameplay has consisted of running straight and combat

Not much we can do about that.remz said:
Actually, all things considered, the VAs for both characters weren't that bad. Vaan's was surprisingly bearable. Penelo (and Ashe for that matter) were *gasp* city, though.
But, by God, Larsa was good enough in his short stints to make up for them.
