    Default So, will you buy this game?

    Obligatory poll thread!

    Damn straight I will. =o Lightning certainly isn't my favourite character from the XIII series by any means, but I can't resist. I enjoyed XIII, I really enjoyed XIII-2, so fingers crossed the improvements will continue and I'll simply adore this one. ...assuming it's out on a console I can play it on.

    I am more excited for this entry than its two prequels. I will probably get it on launch day, which is quite the change of pace for me!

    There is no poll option for thinking that this game looks un-fun based on it's own merits Which is a shame, because Lightning is one of the few things I liked from FF13.

    I'll need more info before I buy. I'm burnt out from the FFXIII universe and I'm not going to auto-buy any new game that comes from it.

    I'm a lot more intrigued by this game than I am FFXIII-2, I'll tell you that much. Definitely considering.

    I'm with Del; I may well buy this game shortly after its release, but I need some more info first.

    Yes, I can't wait. It sounds awesome so far, and I loved FFXIII and FFXIII-2 and can't wait to see how it ends.

    I will play it at some point. I am not considering purchasing it on its release date as I did not play Final Fantasy XIII-2.

    That is one of the dangers of having an anthology of games with a direct correlation with each other: you risk alienating the audience for the sheer fact that they may not have played the predecessor.

    Who close the poll? I would have voted.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I think polls have a default open time of something like a week, so it automatically closes after that.

    I will probably pick this up close to launch as I will not be patient enough to wait for the price to drop. Even if the game ends up being an uneven and rough experience like XIII-2, it will still be worth playing simply because there will not be another game out like it. I really like the art design; especially the main city, Luxerion. The mix of gothic/50s is intriguing..
    Lamia's Tiara- Headgear in FFIX
    Lamia's Flute- Weapon for Eiko in FFIX
    Lamia in FFV- a enemy
    appearance: a lady with long brown hair, wearing a tiara...half woman and half snake.
    Lamia in FF3j- A Harp
    Lamia in FFL2- An enemy
    FF2j Queen Lamia, at one point she even gets Frionel in a bedroom with her and jumps on the bed and says "take me!".. before she turns into her snakey self. She serves as a mini boss in this game (as Queen Lamia).. and after you fight her as a mini boss, regular lamia's become random foes and later on in the game, Queen Lamia's become random foes as well.
    LamiaScl. an item that paralyzes foes.
    According to legend, she was once a Libyan queen (or princess) who fell in love with Zeus. Zeus' jealous wife Hera deformed her into a monster and murdered their offspring. She also made Lamia unable to close her eyes, so that she couldn't find any rest from the obsessing image of her dead children. When Zeus saw what had be done to Lamia, he felt pity for her and gave his former lover a gift: she could remove her eyes, and then put them on again. This way, though sleepless, she could rest from her misfortune. Lamia envied other the other mothers and took her vengeance by stealing their children and devouring them.

    If the poll was still open, I would have gone for the eventually category. I do like the FF XIII Saga, probably more than traditionalist players, but I am intrigued how the game will fit together. Far as I'm aware, Lightning is the only playable character, which is a first, and I do wonder if the game will play more linearly than FF XIII-2, given how the world's going to end in thirteen days. Detours to Serendipity would be quite costly I would think. I'll just have to see what the game looks like when it's done.
