So let us get this straight, you think I have to watch every battle to know battle structure? That I have to watch every paradigm in action to know the paradigm system? That I have to see every cutscene to know that it is bloated graphic fest?
And that I have to play the game to know what devlopers and the vast majority of fans (even those that like it) are saying?
I don't suppose you understand why we actually have review sites? Well, see, I decided against FF13 based on my amazing and almost god like ability to see through the words and match up tons of them to paint a fair picture with a quite incredible logic. I was able to do this. I then went onto youtube and watched tons of cutscenes and saw that I wasn't going to like either the story or battle sytem or the presentation.
After all that, I was able to meld all of this data together, my experience of XII, all the reviews and all the video's and the devlopers comments.
After this, my brain had painted a picture good enough to criticise a lot of the game. The only thing I cannot criticise is the story but given what I know about the melodrama I have already seen and of views from those I consider to have similar tastes to my own- again my amazing logic sprang into action.
To cut this process that happens in my brain down to a sentence:
I accumulated multiple data on this game and decided that it wasand I would not like it. That saved me 50 quid, and gave me another 200 when ps3 was sold.
That is as far as I am willing to go on my thought processes. I suggest you try it in future, it really is a money saver and will seriously develop you a new kind of sixth sense to whenever a bad smelling fart like XIII is heading for your wallet.
ON the other hand you may actually do this and come out with the opposite view to me and get a game you enjoy.
