    This. As is customary for all FF titles for me now, it'll be Day 1 Super Special Edition Pre-Order purchase for me!
    I made one myself for a change! Although you can probably tell that..

    No. I liked FFXIII, but there's just something about a Final Fantasy spinoff that I can't get down with. I bought and enjoyed Revenant Wings, and I can't say why that was different. Maybe the completely different art style, unique gameplay mash-up and the fact that I had played FFXII for like 300 hours within a year of its release had something to do with it. But not this.

    I'm considerably turned-off by them openly making these games as "redemption titles." I don't think game developers should ever have to redeem themselves by crafting a make-up game, and I personally feel like Kitase and Toriyama have nothing to redeem themselves for. They've made better games than just about anyone else in the industry and they gave it their best shot with their first game of this generation, there was no need to waste the rest of it trying to make the same game but a little better.

    I don't like the combat. Again, I enjoyed XIII, I enjoyed the combat system, but it's just not for me. I like turn-based, menu-based combat. I love poring over customization options, sorting items, and comparing statistics. I understand XIII-3 is changing up the actual combat a bit, but I still just don't think it's for me.

    I still respect and appreciate people's rights to buy and enjoy this game.

    My venomous feelings toward Final Fantasy XIII that I did not purchase XIII-2 despite everyone telling me that it was better than the first in just about every way (except, you know, a cliffhanger ending). At this point, I have no interest in even following Final Fantasy XIII-3.

    I would like to try the game out first before I buy it. The story does intrigue me though, so I wouldn't be to surprised if I just bought it

    Nope.

    While Lightning isn't a terrible character or lead she's sort of highly overrated imo. However if it was a game about Sazh, Fang or Noel then yeah it would of been a day one buy.

    She's not the best Final Fantasy female or best Final Fantasy lead, but for some reason Square-Enix believes that she is.

    Of course! I've loved everything so far, it would be silly not to join lovely Lightning on the end of her quest!

    Why not. I like the XIII-verse in its own way enough. But God isn't it almost gettin like the typical trilogy formula? The first ends happy, second is a cliffhanger, third is finale time. I'm down to see where they decide to end this.
