    Yeah, well, it could sound like that. However, I find it unlikely that someone who imports FF13 hasn't tried FF10.

    So it's like FFX, but with scene skip?

    I can get down with that.

    Judging by the reviews, I'm going to go into this game like I went into the Avatar movie. Huge hype for a long period of time, people expecting to shake hands with God over it saying it's crap because, well, God didn't come out of it and shake their hand, and me losing a little hope over the game because people are slating so many things about it. And, with my expectations low from all of that, I will find it really, really good. Hooray for the craptalkers! They make my experiences so much better.

    EDIT: And in the few occasions that people have raved about a game even after huge hype, I've always been disappointed - GTA IV a prime example. People raved and raved before and after it's release, I played it, it was eh.

    Most of this forum seems to have fairly mediocre expectations (including from me, which might even be lower-than-average), so you'll probably have to look elsewhere for your raving.

    My feeling is that it will be good, but I'm not expecting it to surprise me or magically usurp my loosely defined hierarchy of top fave FFs. I'm pretty sure I'll be coming out of it with a "it would have been great if they did this..." mentality cause already I'm finding their gameplay direction to be on shaky ground. The combat system sounds awesome though.

    The lack of towns was pretty shocking! The took so many risks with this game.

    Just a little friendly advice: Those of you who are going to actually pay for the game and play it should go into it in EXTREME OPTIMIST MODE! If you have it in you to just enjoy the good things and not pick apart the bad, it'll probably be more enjoyable. Unless that happens to be the very thing you enjoy. I mean, you already payed for it, so have your money's worth!

    I am super hyped and I am going to play and enjoy this game to my full extent and it will be wonderful!

    I prefer going in pessimistic and being pleasantly surprised. That doesn't mean I look for bad things, rather the opposite, it means I look for good things and when I find a lot of them then I can only be happy. =]

    I'm with BoB and probably Raist. I don't have high expectations and definitely below center, but I'm also reasonable. FF games have been able to surprise me before. Like many here, I hated the linearity and lack of a real world map in FF X, but overall I really enjoyed the game far beyond my expectation.

    I want to stay in the middle or a little lower. I'm seeing too many people on either side of the fence making up their minds either mining for positive or negative reviews to support their preconceived opinions.
