I can understand the 5 score... it's really just combat-cutscenes-combat for most of the game, from what I can tell. I really like it, but asides from the awesome battle system, there's no innovation, just a lot of cuts.
Also, am I just going insane or is Vanille getting more bearable as time goes on? Nom nom.

when will people stop with this shit? the reviewer gave it the score he felt the game deserved and just because you don't agree with doesn't mean there was some sinister motivation for giving said score.

you might not notice it but there is quite a bit of slowdown in that area.

Damn you chapter 6.
I was expecting some sweet, forest music but instead I got a shitty techno remix of the title song.

I have enjoyed the first nine hours of the game. The convoluted story that people mention has not shown its face yet. Actually it makes more sense then your average FF games up to this point. And I enjoy all of the characters minus Hope.
I think if you approach it as a Final Fantasy game, and have the certain expectations of what it has to be then it is definitely disappointing in a lot of aspects. I would prefer to control all of my characters individually in battle, have a more open world, towns, more then three characters at a time in an engagement, a wider variety of loot, and a greater less linear ability to customize characters. But if you ignore the things you expect out of the series, and enjoy it for what it does right, then it is a lot of fun. It is not what I wanted, but it is something that is enjoyable in a different sort of way then I expected. Of course I am only nine hours into it, so maybe it will go to shit at any moment.

the game has lots of money spent on presentation, and is part of a 'AAA' series, therefore it's at least a seven.
that's how it works, get with the program.

i think the story so far is a bit shit but i'm willing to let it slide since i'm so early in the game.
for me, the battle system, music, graphics and presentation is winning me over despite the things i don't like.
seriously the music is so good coupled with a few scenes it managed to evoke strong emotions from me.
oh yeah, and i need to give a shout out for my man troy baker for turning a potentially annoying character into a good one.

I'm sorry, this is not up for defence with same ol' "this is my opinion" BS. You (in this case, Edge reviewer) still have to support your points and the final score. Just saying "I can give whatever to a game, since the review is my opinion" won't do. People have problem with Edge review because even with highlighting negative points there is still no way this game is a 5 out of 10.

what makes you say that?
nah, it does come down to being the reviewers opinion. spin it any way you want but for the vast majority (exceptions being review flaws that make it obvious the reviewer didn't play the game or didn't play very much of it) of game reviews it's the truth.

Honestly speaking, I didn't even notice that there was slowdown. Truth. God's honest truth. People getting too caught up in too much silly bullshit to be enjoying games these days.WickedLaharl said:

it didn't bother me too much since the area is so damn pretty and it happens outside of battle.

Honestly, Troy Baker fits the high energy shonen protagonist role a lot more than most VAs. He's definitely a better pick than JYB.
Edit: Yuri Lowenthall would also probably be a good choice.

That is really uncalled for. I'm sure we can discuss things without insulting people. Its just a goddamn game. Not worthy to insult other human beings over it.Firestorm said:

Maybe his super magical leprechaun eyes can notice miniscule 2fps drop that is unnoticeable to us normal, mortal folk with non-leprechaun eyes?

It's not a matter of review supporting the final score, I can write a review blasting GoW III for being generic hack-and-slash with very stereotypical protagonist, doing things "bigger and larger" than the two PS2 games, and give GoW III a 5/10 or 6/10. I won't do that because everyone could see this is stupid. Same is 5/10 for FFXIII.

I just realized something. I've barely used auto-battle at all the entire game. I do use repeat a lot but I've gotten by just fine inputting my own commands.

Is he Sazh's voice actor? If so, dude did an awesome job so far. He's really bringing Sazh's character to life. When Square first promo'd FF13 with Lightning and Sazh, I had to facepalm myself over Sazh. But now, I think he's becoming one of my fav FF characters.Dresden said:

I like Snow too, but Sazh's voice guy is really good! I don't get the whole "dumb shonen" argument anyway.toastyToast

Does this game have a Biggs and Wedge? I can't remember the last time I've seen those dudes.

Oh wow. Just found out the voice of Sazh is also the voice of the Black Baron from Madworld. That's pretty awesome.
He was also in Crank.

I'm on Ch 8 now. and i use auto-battle all the time.
the AI might do an attack here and there i dont want it to, it does what i want it to most of the time.
the only time i dont use auto-battle is if the lead character has a Medic role. i manually do medic stuff
