Is it just me or is it SAD that people are watching so many videos and pictures of this game??? and reading MOST of the story? and analyzing every little thing 'bout the japanese version???
By the time the game comes out it'll already be watered down, nothing surprising and bashed.
Sad ain't it?
It happens every time.
There's nothing wrong with a little curiosity
Ha! funny, that's what people who have tried drugs say(NOT accusing you of doing so, but it just sounds so similar)Quote:

You keep reading how bad or how good the game is, and what happens in the game and by the time you buy the game you'll be like FFXII is crap the first 5 hours through the game.
Sad this has been happening for a while now with a lot of games

There's a difference between peeking and readins SOME and reading revies, watching EVERY new video of the game that pops up, readin 'bout what goes on in the game, knowing the ending, etc.Quote:

I watched all this games FMV's. I like to no what happens in a game while it is happening.
Personally I enjoy things to be a surprise so I've been tactically evading most of the videos/storyline threads. I am not paying sixty euro for something I know the ending of or if I already have the gist of the storyline.
That being said though, I have watched a few videos showing the battle system and the like which is hardly ruining much in fairness.
Funny, people are still loving and praising Kingdom Hearts II.Quote:

I just like to know the battle system and general gripes... I'm not going to spill out 50$ just because Final Fantasy is on the cover, I want to know if it will actually be fun or not. I stay away from the plot though... When it's actually out I'll scan for a simple "good" or "bad" but no details. When IGN put "ADA CONFIRMED FOR RE4" huge on their homepage I was piiiIIIssed, and so I'll have to avoid all contact with things gaming-internet right before XII comes out :D I can't believe some people already know the ending. How boring!
And a three sentence long opinion by someone else is what determines that for you? If so, I pity you.Quote:

I said "I want to know the battle system", which has nothing to do with anyone's opinion of it. I'm not going to buy a game when I don't understand the gameplay, because it simply may not be fun for me. Final Fantasy reinvents itself these days so just finding one game in the series fun doesn't guarantee the next will be to your liking, so being informed is a must. Although, coincedentally, I have yet to play one that I didn't like. So I wanted to know how everything worked (and I like the battle system, for the record).Quote:

I have to sometimes restrain myself form reading plot summaries, or FMVs, or seeing screenshots, because then I will ruin the game for myself like I have ruined any other game I've tried ot play.
well, i am against SPOILERS ... but i dont see any harm in looking at cool screenshots and video clips of the game ... infact, it makes you even more exited! more anxious to buy the gameQuote:

I'm just pissed that us Europeans have to wait so long for everything.
i know how you feel
but ... atleast we got the new tomb raider game four days before everyone else (lol) wich is a change
I hate the fact that you can find the entire story and all the videos online already. I always get really tempted, but I've tried to stay away this time. Only seen the intro which I think is forgivable. I just get bored and seeing as they havn't even told us when they're realeasing it over here I get tempted. But I don't like spoiling the story. I knew too much about X before I played it, and it did make it less interesting. Sometimes though, spoilers can drive you to play it more when you eventually get it. If you watch the vids say, you want to play to find out how they fit into the whole story and so on.
