Impressive? Not.

[Proxy]

So far, the only impressive thing I've seen, is the graphics.
Thats about it.
And I own all of the Final Fantasy games 1-12.
And I'm probably not going to buy this game.
It doesn't look as though it's gonna hold up to Final Fantasy series. Something about you know, haveing like 3 or 4 seperate games to complete owning 13 itself just seems like Squee is focusing on profit, and not game quality.
Or am I the only one who thinks that?
From what I've seen, it's gonna be very disappointing.
I'm calling another game that is based on graphics only and has no story or plot at all. *coughfinalfantasyxiicough*

You might as well spit on games I-III, too, in this case. I don't remember that any of them had a compelling story.

[Dr. Acula]

I dunno... I reckon you should give it a chance. There's not that much info out about it just yet.

[Setzer Gabianni]

It looks nice, but tbh, I haven't seen anything else tantalizing yet.

[Pete for President]

There's one thing I read about FF Versus XIII that makes me think I'll find versus way more interesting than FF XIII. They say it will be one of the most tragic and dark stories in the series. Just FF XIII... doesn't really seem to appeal to me.

Oh I'm going to give it a chance, and even though I have heard good things about Versus, I just don't know...I'm still gonna play atleast Versus. But...I just can't shake the feeling that something is not right with Final Fantasy now.

For starters, Square is one of the few companies who could undertake a project of this size and still make sure all of the games are quality titles. Second, it's been stated that although they take place in the same or connected worlds, the games themselves aren't interrelated, so you won't have to buy them all.

Because they have a wonderful track record of that with FF X-2 and FF VII: DoC.

The only weak part of FFX-2 was the story, and that comes down to personal tastes and opinions (I don't think the main story was all that bad, it was mainly the sidequests that blew chunks). And if anyone is surprised the Japanese couldn't make a third person shooter that's beter than average (at best) they haven't played a Japanese shooter before.

I'm mainly referring to hem having the resources to pull off a project this size without quality suffering due to inadequate attention, funding, or human resources.

Resident Evil 4?

Square-enix don't own RE4! Come on everyone! Square are making the plots for FFXIII as we speak, they're just testing combat moves before they start with the story lines (ie in a random battle, NOT the BOSS BATTLE for 'testing combat'). Same goes for FFXIIIVersie

The floating continent in FFIII didn't blow your mind!?!~

The cuteness of Onion Knight sprites sure did. =O

What are you talking about?

[Zeromus_X]

Do we even know enough about the game's mechanics and overall storyline to be making judgements at all so far?
