tl;dr version: Only buy if you're a fan of terrible writing, running down corridors and occasionaly pushing buttons. In fact, since you have a PS3, why not re-buy all the PS1 FF's. Start with Tactics then play any order you like. |

I still see value in FF13, but in a way I see value in ODST even though it's not like regular Halo. A lot of people got sideswiped s'all. All the stuff I hear about the writing and lack of gameplay is overblown (and I like Destructoid's Jim Stirling). I've also read glowing reviews on the same game, so all I got is my own thoughts on it when the reactions seem so polarized.
I will say this, I wouldn't go into FF13 expecting traditional JRPG conventions - having gathered so much intel before the fact. I'd still play it for the general experience, and there's some concepts I'm personally interested in creatively speaking. Also: >>> Resonance of Fate Guns and shit. |

So watching my friend play it- nice graphics, boring level designs. Yeah, I'll wait till it's like 30 bucks or less if I even care by then.

It's being said that Final fantasy 13 versus (whenever it comes out) will have airships and a world map to move around in

oh my god, you people are fucking ridiculous. 'Terrible writing'? I dont know about you, but i TOTALLY get thrown off when a game's script is bad. The writing isnt bad, btw, i dunno who the fuck is Roger Ebert here to judge THAT.
BTW, im almost done with this game, played every FF with the exception of 12, and my opinion is that it is a good game. You will enjoy it, so long as youre not scared of change like all these fucks bitching about it. Its alot like 10 (which i enjoyed). |

Not scared of change at all, 12 is like the 3rd best FF and it's much more different than this one.
This ones just got FF8 syndrome. All style, no substance - the wet dream of a bunch of videogame developers simply trying to push hardware to its limits. |

ill go as far as saying the story doesnt draw you into the characters the way others have in the past, but most of you seem to be shitting on this one as the worst final fantasy EVAH. So they tried to blend in elements of RPGs from the states and JRPG, and?
I just dont see how people complain when something is stagnant, and then complain when something is different. Damned if you do, damned if you dont i guess. |

It is the worst FF ever. Just because it's different doesn't mean it's good so I really don't understand people who just bang out clichés like they've found the magical point. LOOK, HERE ARE LISTS
Different to other games in franchise and good FF12 Fallout 3 RE4 Different and Bad FF13 Sonic Heroes Civ Revolution I didn't name the non-numbred FF's in either category as their point is to be different, otherwise Tactics and the original Crystal Chronicles would be in the good list. |

Civilization Revolution? Bad? Right. Okay. Nice list by the way...totally backed by data like say, a metacritic score?

I'm sorry, I forgot my opinion gelled with the hivemind of everyone else and had to back it up with random scores based on other peoples opinions.

Everyone has opinions, i suppose the best way to find out if the game is good is count the good opinions and the bad ones, and see who has more. |

Played this at a friends earlier tonight, and have to say I was quite impressed. Was weary like everyone about the game featuring no towns, and limited exploring, but what I got to play of it was extremely fun. Gonna have to rent this and give it a go through.

I've also heard people complain that FF12 was too different and bad as well, I personally liked FF12 for trying to be different but I disliked the story and characters to it. I don't really see what is that hugely different about FF13 anyway, ok we have a new battle system that happens with every FF game no big deal, but we also have the linearity but I ask but FFX was also remarkably linear up to a certain point, just as this game is. It's definitely not the worst FF ever (That will forever belong to FF11) but it's not the best one ever, it probably lies somewhere in the middle. |

If I have to play a single player game for 4 hours before it becomes fun, then it has already failed.

Kojima's either a genius or a madman. He's the only guy who could take an action game of MGS caliber, make a J-pop music video - complete with soldiers sharing screen time with the chick, and not hurt the series image.

So I just beat the game.
Really good ending. Interesting finish. Honestly, without comparing it to every other FF, this game did an amazing job and I'm really glad I got it. Can't wait for FFXV |

The gameplay adds stuff later on, like most games, I didn'st say id din't think it was fun i thought the first 4 hours were cool, but not as good as after the tripple threat battles and paradigms come into play.

yeah, my only issue is that the game picks up its strategy and gameplay kinda late into the game.

chapter 11 is when you really need to work your paradigms. There are only 13 chapters in the game.
