I am very sure the game doesn't even reach 30fps.
Lol. I popped 13-2 in and it feels like LR runs worse than that.

I don't measure the fps on for ARR PS3, but it's not "20 fps if you're lucky". Rather, it's faster than that barring some intense battles. Considering that it is an MMO, it runs fantastically.
If a single player game on an engine that should have been optimized over the course of six years is running poorly even with shoddy graphics for an end-of-generation game, however, then you have to question the technical competency of the game.
What you said in the spoilerwas a mistranslation, because that content/dialogue never existed even in the Japanese version. I believe I made a comment about how that was incorrect before.about going to a wedding
Jeez. So what I'm gathering from this thread is the game doesn't look that good, nor does it run that well, and it's mostly garbage outside of the combat, which itself could still be better anyway. Man, probably gonna stick that pre-order money on something else. :/

Where do you live?Truth to be told, I'm hesitating to do just that. With Dark Souls II not that far away, it may be a better thing to do.
Hmmm, how much time did it take to FFXIII-2 to have good price drops?
Where do you live?
In the UK it dropped like two weeks after launch or something crazy like that, lol.
You may be cheaper just importing from the UK if you aren't fussed on getting a FR copy. I don't really check FR prices, but I know the rest of the European prices are rather high in comparison to the UK.Wow. I heard that the price dropped quickly, but 2 weeks? That's insane.
France here. I may be able to get a good deal in one shop in particular. I'll ponder over what to do.

If you can look back on your experiences with the previous too games and feel "yeah I enjoyed that" then get it. If not then ignored. Simple as that.
Why did you preorder in the first place?
If there is any doubt on the quality of a game, that seems daft.
Beware getting influenced by only two-three opinions of the usual two-three importers that made it clear many times they didn't like XIII, nor XIII-2, nor this one. Before deciding - if u really want to listen to others and not yourself and your personal tastes - wait for other people to join this discussion. I personally know more people that loved the game between here, gamefaqs, squareportal and few other fansites than people that disliked it. Also keep in mind that japanese audience prefers this game over the previous two (mk2 and amazon the sources). That tells alot.
Honestly I'd think twice before putting too much stock in anything GAF says about this game, to either extreme. It's been comical Capulet vs Montague infighting since the game was announced, with hyperbole spouting non-stop. I've honestly never seen anything quite like it, outside of threads about "how to fix Nintendo."
I suspect the game has its fair share of issues, but might still be plenty fun. Really depends where you set your expectations.

Nobody is going to be able to give a totally solid answer, because they're fairly different games.I'll put it like this then: If I thought XIII was aight, and I thought XIII-2 was aight, will I also believe LR is aight? I ask because the impressions I'm getting is that it's actually worse.

But it's been out for months in Japan, and some of the people here have played it.And the game's not out yet.

Demon's Souls was out in Japan too back in the time. Talked like shit. History changed.
It also had a considerable amount of people (if not more) praising it. Don't skew history.

That was long after released and people started getting interested. The start was all about a bashing review by famitsu, bashing importer reviews by big names here and that's all.
And in any case, I don't like demon souls, ahah.
Is that what you're hoping for with LRFFXIII?
Because quite a few people here have the English copy and are saying exactly the same thing importers said.
I' m just saying you should not trust anyone. Just yourself and people that are closer to your way of thinking
What do you like besides the XIII trilogy, if you don't mind my asking?
That was long after released and people started getting interested. The start was all about a bashing review by famitsu, bashing importer reviews by big names here and there, that's all. Things changed slowly. I also made it clear that the japanese fanbase mostly rated LR a superior product than both XIII and XIII-2.
Also I absolutely dislike Souls' series. Lmao.
If you do don't mind me asking, who do you trust then? Because you seem to be all over when comes to those reviewers and outlets you trust.
Do you literally trust no one? I want to know how you tick Perfo.
It's too different to try to quantify in that way, then. Seems fair given the attempt at more open design I suppose.Nobody is going to be able to give a totally solid answer, because they're fairly different games.
What can be said about LR is that it has extremely ambitious design goals alongside a small budget, and as a result it is quite sketchy in many ways. And average ratings will almost certainly be lower for LR than for XIII and XIII-2.
The combat. Pretty much just the combat. I really enjoyed frolicking(I quite like that word) about in Gran Pulse, but I never cared to explore in XIII-2 however. Progressing straight through in the sequel felt like enough, outside of trying to cause paradox endings.What about those two games did you find alright? Being specific will definitely bring up better conversations and help people help you.
Not necessarily true.Also keep in mind that japanese audience prefers this game over the previous two (mk2 and amazon the sources). That tells alot.

And let's agree to not mention the story in either, k? K.
Except Sazh. I like that guy for some reason.
Whatever it takes to beat Skyrim!Lol. I popped 13-2 in and it feels like LR runs worse than that.
Some mobs are on the field, but I think in the weird chaos areas they appear after you enter the area? The encounters are less like 13-2.Incidentally, does Lightning Returns have "random" mobs like XIII-2 or are they part of the world like XIII?
Didn't particularly like the way it was handled in XIII-2.
Okay. Then you will find LR to be "aight".

Still bummed the CE is through SE's shop only, hopefully that doesn't become a constant(niche Drakengard aside). Was tempted to grab it but when I saw the added 9 dollars in shipping for 5-7 days I said never mind. Too many games coming out and I have too little money
Yet another amazing battle system blending thought and timing; I hope future Final Fantasies meet these same standards.
Bless our Savior.
