	Re: Final Fantasy XIII Reply #1 - 09.03.10 at 23:00:13 Yeah a lot of friends were waiting for this one, I'm no fan of Final Fantasy but I recognise it as a major influence on a lot of people... ...I've never really played a Final Fantasy game for over 15 minutes.

	Re: Final Fantasy XIII Reply #2 - 10.03.10 at 07:51:23 Haven't played any FF but i'd like to, and we do have a ps2. Should probably grab a copy from somewhere. Is it necessary to start from the start for the storyline or can i just catch up on wikipedia?

	Re: Final Fantasy XIII Reply #3 - 10.03.10 at 10:04:11 The games are all stand-alone, with the exception of X2, the sequel to X. Also, XI is an MMO, and there are a few other related games like the ones in the FFVII Compilation (Crisis Core etc) and the Fabula Nova Crystallis (FFXIII, Versus XIII, Agito XIII) project.

Well so far the looks like sex. The battle system is very good and easy to use. Plus fights are relatively quick which is always good in my books

The let downs.... voices. It's englsh voices only, cant change to jap, and while the voices aren't bad, one character (in Vanille) fkn shits me up the wall with her scottish / australian / british hybrid accent. It fluxuates throughout and is annoying

The other major problem is the story. I had to read the story online to fully understand it. If you start the game you will be confused as anything with who the good guys are, who the bad guys are, who's attacking who, etc. And the story has a major impact on the game, in terms of I've been playing for 40 minutes game time already and I'm yet to play with the full party. They're all split up in groups of 2 or 3, meeting up along the way but then other plp wander off and I have a new combo going.
For example, Im playing with the characters Lightning and Sahz, then it goes over to Snow, then over to Hope and Vanille. They meet up, Lightning wanders off with hope and Vanille, and then the multi story stuff happens AGAIN!

Why cant my party all be together and allow the story to be one major thing rather than a group of little side stories that do nothing but piss me off

Graphics - 10
Gameplay - 8.5
Story - 2

	Re: Final Fantasy XIII Reply #5 - 10.03.10 at 16:20:18 Because you're playing vanilla XIII instead of Versus XIII?

	Re: Final Fantasy XIII Reply #6 - 10.03.10 at 16:44:57 In that case i can start from a random point where the graphics are acceptable enough not to burn my eyes from their sockets. Now just to pilfer a copy of one from someone... stares at joshy

	Re: Final Fantasy XIII Reply #14 - 10.03.10 at 22:54:43 Been playing this since I first got it. Loving it so far. Graphics are fantastic, battle system is REAL good, story is OK, but you may want to read through the Datalog-->Events to get a better understanding on wtf is going on. But so far, awesome game. As much as I'm loving this, I still want to play Versus XIII more!
