Final Fantasy XIII

(1/13) > >>

mberan42:
Have we talked about this game yet? I know we had trailer threads and other stuff, but I don't think we have a thread dedicated to FFXIII now that it's out.

I've played every modern FF game (except for whichever one was the online game) and have enjoyed them. Sure, they all have their faults, but it's one of the only video game franchises in which I'll play all the games (provided I have the system).

I'm about 3 hours into the game, I have to say, this is THE corniest Final Fantasies ever. The dialog is corny, the voice acting is melodramatic, I have NO freaking idea what's going on story-wise, and the characters are either whiny little punks or showboating "lookit me, imma hero!" I am pretty disappointed so far.

The battle system is pretty neat, I guess. I just got the Paradigm shift thing, so I'm hoping that'll change it up a bit. I don't know how I level up, I don't know where I am or what I'm supposed to do, and it's really annoying.

That all said, it's a gorgeous game. But graphics will only take a game so far.

Thoughts?

don't worry, the tutorial will be over in 27 more hours.  then it all makes sense.

FF13 suffers from a mysterious void, it has spectacular presentation, the battle system is great, and thoroughly enjoyable to switch roles on the fly, but somewhere between presentation and gameplay mechanics they managed to miss making a single quality decision in terms of content. I played the first 15 or 16 hours and put it down, over a month ago now.
