I believe so. I came in at ff9. I have played most ff games except 11 and the ff7 prequals. I think after ff10 the stories and charecter personalities have lacked any sort of humanity really. Understandable with 13 as they were made in to 'monsters' but ff12 was terrible in my eyes and 13s gameplay was terrible, I think they spent to much time on other sub standard games like Nier and the other SE game (can't remember) it's name. 13 was beutiful as far graphics are concerned but I felt cheated at how it was walk in a straight line and battle and press x. Any one else agree. versus 13 looks good though, it could be make or brake for me though. What do you think?
