Who got it?

[Del Murder]

I got it.

[nirojan]

Got it!

[Sephex]

Even though I entered in the contest, I cracked and got it. I was going to redbox it until the slim possibility that I would win the contest, or beat it quickly and wait until it was on sale.

So far I am enjoying it.

[Del Murder]

I'm also enjoying it. The story is just...not good, but playing the game is fun.

[Lamia]

Me. I am only 2 hrs in but I concerned about the story... I am going to wait to see if the story picks up before I pass judgement. The premise is... Yeah, hopefully it comes together soon.

[Hollycat]

I am so jelly you guys!

[Jessweeee♪]

I'm an hour or so in. The story, well let's just say it is meeting my expectations and has not in any way exceeded them. Plenty of fun though, and the soundtrack is great.

[Del Murder]

The soundtrack is pretty cheesy, but the tunes are catchy. Just turn the volume down if you ever get on one of the emo chocobos.

[DMKA]

I got it today, play for a good five hours. I'm loving the hell out of it!

I actually see no problem with the story so far, but at the same time, nothing has made me think of it as being any better than a mid-tier anime storyline so far. :p I just finished playing Lost Odyssey yesterday, and so far FFXIII-2's story has engrossed me far, far more than that game's did, so eh. I had really low expectations for the story going in though, and it's no where near as bad as people told me it was. :D

Same thing with the soundtrack, the very first preview articles I read said the soundtrack was HORRIBLE! but I've actually heard at least four pieces I really like. I find the boss music choice...questionable though. :p I certainly like the soundtrack better than I liked X-2's so far, as I can only think of one piece I liked from that soundtrack.

So yeah, I went in with lower than low expectations for the story and the soundtrack, and both have pleasantly surprised me by not being half as bad as people made them out to be.

Thanks again naysayers! :love:

[Lamia]

The soundtrack is not bad. A few cheesy tracks do not completely negate the several amazing tracks in the OST.

Are you trying to make me not get it? D:

[Sefie1999AD]

Supposedly the European release is on Friday, but I got the game today, along with some DLC for Omega Weapon boss battle, alternate costumes and Murasama blade for Noel. So far, I'm enjoying the game, though to be frank, my expectations are really low. The first 1.5 hours probably had more NPC interaction than FFXIII in total, which was a welcome change for me. The characters seem quite sympathetic, and the soundtrack is pretty good. It's too early to say much about the storyline and battle system yet.

[Carl the Llama]

I am only going to say until the game is released in my country:


I HATE YOU GUYS FOR GETTING THIS GAME BEFORE ME!!!!11!1!1

Now I have gotten that out of my system I HOPE YOU GET A POWERCUT THAT STOPS YOU PLAYING IT TILL THE EU RELEASE ON FRIDAY!!! *cough* yes, I think I am done here :D:mad2:

[ljkkjlcm9]

I got it, but I've been working. I'm off tomorrow so I will start it then.

THE JACKEL

[Jessweeee♪]

It's okay you'll get this cool snazzy International version with like Dark Aeons and shit.

[TrollHunter]

I would get it... but I have no interest in it really. It's not that I think it's going to be bad, I just don't really care about it.
May pick it up in the future... but eh

[sir helix]

[Lamia]

THE STORY /facepalm

It has soooo many issues. I mean it has interesting parts but the narrative is all over the place and there are a lot of contradictions and some things are just plain stupid.
