I pre-ordered my copy from work recently. I am a bit concerned though because a few FAQ-guides mention that the gameplay is linear. I guess I'll have to find out for myself though *shrug*
Really, though, I've been following the series since 6, and though there have a few been missteps (8, 11, and 12 for me), I still enjoy the quality and polish Square Enix puts into it.
Ever since XI, Final Fantasy has gone downhill. I didn't think VIII was that good, either.
XII crushed my dreams, because the characters are becoming more and more bland, and the games themselves are looking more and more like a J-Pop Video. From what I've heard, some of the main characters are named Lightning and Snow. Just......wow....
First the first time in my life, I may not pick up a copy of the new Final Fantasy game. The direction it's going in is just losing touch with what made people love them.
I love them all up to IX, but it's kinda hard to be optimistic about this one. I thought X was alright but X-2 was horrible; I hated every second of that game. MMORPGs don't really interest me that much, so I never tried XI, and I didn't like XII.
That being said, I'll be so curious to see what XIII's like that I'll have to get it.
I probably will. I hate Square Enix but I will buy it, as I have all the games they have developed despite them all having been crap.
You see to me, Square Enix as a developer is kind of like an abusive boyfriend. You loved them in the begining because they were pretty and had a lot of interesting things to say, but then somewhere down the road you got the feeling they were just in it for your money and your car. You leave them multiple times but they keep coming back saying "look, baby! I've changed!" but they really haven't. It's all just the same shit over and over.
Square just doesn't have that magic that they used to have. It petered out somewhere around FFIX and kind've made an emergence again with FFX, but hasn't been seen since. I will buy this game, but part of me just knows I'm going to be wasting my money.
Definitely not going to buy this. Isn't it odd to call a game FINAL fantasy 13?
Maybe they should look up the word Final in the dictionary.
I mean guys... The peak of this series was undoubtedly Final Fantasy 7.
And they are rushing downhill pretty bloody fast...
Maybe we can convince Square Enix to stop wasting time and money in this series.
Maybe then they will have time to make a good game that hasn't been sucked of all fun by constant repitition.
