[360/PS3] Final Fantasy XIII Discussion

[HookeyStreet]

Im about 4 hours into it now guys.............Im sorry about the following bad language:

IT IS MUTHAFUCKING MINDBLOWING!!!!!!!!!!

I dont usually go for all the crazy Japanese shit, but usually, FF is an exception. I havent enjoyed, or been blown away, by a Final Fantasy title like this since FFVII on the PlayStation.

BUY THIS GAME!!!

PS: Im playing this on the 360, but I urge you to get it on the PS3 (if you have both consoles) Because they say the PS3 version is visually better and if the 360 version is anything to go by, then the PS3 version surely must come with a 'Warning: Instant Boner During Gameplay!' message on the case

Shit by the time I get back and start playing the game my son is already done with it.

Good to hear it is a good game

I was getting worried about it for a minute there.

There will be people who dislike the game. Because, there all ways is. But, never make that the reason why you won't try it.

HS.. Dante's Inferno is a good game.. I just hate the constant 2s button pressing.. lol..

LOL, yeah, you can pretty much complete DF by bashing 2 buttons, but it is worthwhile learning and executing the other combos

Back to the topic of FFXIII -

I dont know if I dare click the link LOL. Does it contain any/many spoilers?

I have both xbox360 and PS3.

Of course, I am getting it for PS3. I don't wanna swap dics. And I want Japanese voice acting. Blu-ray capacity is so darn big that they can fit a lot of extra crap on it.

It's the FFWiki.. so it might show something...But, what I have linked is the "what FFXIII has"

Your main reason for getting it on the PS3 should be the fact that Square-Enix put more effort into the visuals on the PS3 version, compared to the 360 one. Not the fact that you have to swap discs twice LMAO

Thanks, I will look now

there is final fantasy versus on PS3 so you did not really miss out by it being on the xbox 360 too but i did not know they spent more time on the PS3 version of XIII i thought it was just the exact same game minus the japanese and its on a different physicall media aka dvd

any substantial backup to those claims? that it looks better or is that just rumours

soon as my broadband is activated im ordering final fantasy on 360 looks like a great game

so many good games so little money

Well, swamping discs get really annoying after a whole. I had Star Ocean last hope and Last Odyssey (4 discs!!!) for Xbox360. God, I hated swamping dics constantly.
I got tired of it after years and I generally buy PS3 games instead nowadays. That said, I also got Star Ocean the last hope international PS3 version. It's so much better (now without disc swaps!)

P.S. White Knight chronicles sucked major ass.
But Heavy Rain was so dang nice.

I am waiting for March 9th for FF XIII and Yakuja 3 !

 

[Cold Storm]

I've been wanting to grab Star Ocean International.. Man, I should of grabbed that over Dante's Inferno.. lol..

Come on man.. It's so great to have the ps2, back in the day, in which ever rpg had more then one disc... Those where the days.. lol.. Well, it was great till you started the same "disc" that your friend is on.. lol..

Heres my first gripe (there had to be one), its VERY linear. I always enjoyed the exploration of the FF series and talking to others to get information and workout problems............but so far FF13 has NON of this

Nope, they said that they were going to make it to a game where you couldn't spend hours just "dicking" around.. They push you to go further and further into the story. No Towns, and so forth..

I loved going to towns, and just messing around.. But, they feel that it took away from the story.

Dont get me wrong, its a VERY good game and Im sure I will see more great ingame moments as I progress. But I dont think it can be classed as an RPG anymore, more like an action/adventure.

Yeah, your quite right on the factor.. It's hard to tell since I haven't got my hands on it. But, i do feel that I might think the same way.

Sorry man, but that's what they wanted... To just have a "straight forward" game.

 

[YinYang.ERROR]

I hear that it open up near the end of the game. Can anyone confirm this?
