I love Tim but he's crazy.
Interesting reviews. The first one makes me not want to play it very much but the second one does. I don't have a PS3 though so it's all moot at this point.
Not a full review, but some quick impressions from RPGfan for those with ADD: RPGFan News - Final Fantasy XIII Impressions
I've got to say, from everything I'm reading I'm more excited about some aspects than I thought I'd be and even less excited about others. I really don't know what to think at this point. Sadly, I know I'll get it regardless so I just hope it isn't as bad as VIII.
A good review, but ill wait until i get my review copy through :D
As long as its nothing like 12 ill be happy :D
The second review Psy posted gives me a little more hope for this game. Which will make the crash all the more painful, but oh well. :p
I'm pleased by the combat cause it sounds amazing (except for the summons but I never liked them anyway) but everything I've heard about the rest of the "gameplay" has me wandering why they even bothered making a game and not just make a movie since it sounds like the game has nothing to offer beyond the initial story. At this point it will be a gamble cause if the plot is truly amazing (and lord knows I don't trust reviewers when they talk about plot after the Crisis Core Fiasco) then perhaps the game can be forgiven for being paper thin on gameplay variety.
The combat does sound interesting, which hopefully will be the saving grace of this game, because I am not very thrilled about a lot of the rest of it (story, map, lack of real towns, etc.). I'm not totally against any and all linear stories and gameplay, but I just don't have the faith in the FF series to make an exceptional enough story to justify it (see: Lunar SSSC).
