Enjoying FFXIII

[Arylett Dawnsborough]

I went into it with absolutely /no/ expectations. I had NO idea what I was going to get. Didn't read any reviews, didn't ask anybody how it was. I just went out there and got it to see what it was all about. And well, I mostly enjoyed it. (What I've played of it thus far. Haven't finished.) Sure, the gameplay's repetitive and not nice to play in long amounts of time, but I personally thought every single character was absolutely fantastic. (Like LoonyBob said, very FF.) But the only way to know is to just go in there with no expectations whatsoever and see what happens. At least, that's what I think. Just don't think or worry about it so much, and experience.

Cool, thanks for everyone's opinions, either in favour of the game or against it. I'm thinking I'd probably find a bit to enjoy in it, especially since work and life don't leave me as much time for vast, exploration-heavy games anymore.
FFXIII's got pretty cheap lately, so I'll probably pick it up in due course when I've run out of other gaming to occupy my free minutes
