Yeah, no. I played XIII for a bit, and it was kinda pretty and sort of atmospheric...but like MGS it seems like there's more cut scene than gameplay, and I'm always a bit weirded out by JRPGs.

Already got the special edition paid for (multi disc soundtrack and art book for $20? I'll bite).

After playing the demo... it feels better than 13, but it depends on how QTE happy they go.

You are all enablers and are the reason why Final Fantasy has been terrible.

I'm renting it from Gamefly but I suspect my mailman has stolen it and saved me from untold horrors

Brought the xbox to work for 2 days.

I've stopped doing that. It clocked right in at "meh" and I found that shooting tanks with friends is more entertaining way to pass time.

I was terribly tired after playing FFVIII, but decided to give X a chance a couple of years later.

Now every time I see footage a new FF game, I throw up in my mouth.

You willingly played 8. I have no pity for you.

It's funny, Tetsuya Nomura claims that he needed to set aside player cognition in order to focus on the story, but the end result is a game that seems to appeal mainly to people who don't care about the story or cogitating.

He needs to get over it and go direct movies or something. Trying to remove thought in an interactive media is just a bad idea...

Six hours into it. Game is better than XIII, but that's not hard to do. The story so far is just as dumb, if not dumber. Why is this thing happening? PARADOX! Oh okay.

You get access to what you got after 25-30 hours of play in XIII roughly 2 hours in 13-2. You are stuck with the two main characters, and your third party member is a pokemon. At least Noel isn't a little bitch. Changing paradigms is practically instantaneous.

I have no idea what I'm doing with my experience points.

So apparently your main characters can't get all of the skills that a role offers. Noel is missing bravery/faith and probably other shit. Now I feel gimped

Just like the previous game, you can max out through all the levels, but not everyone gets all the abilities. Certain chars are just better for certain roles.

In this one, Noel is the melee, Serah is the caster.

I was amused that I got the first ending at about 3 hours in, but I pretty much cheated.

You gave them your money for this

right now they're thinking

"oh, they're buying it. we should make more like this, then, instead of anything with any redeeming value."
