Oh Sqex and their merchandises.. lol

Sooo... since it says lightning, Im guessing this is a chick perfume? >_>

[Tragic]

If it's for men, would you use it? lol

[Zanibas]

Well, it's out....in Japan that is

39/40 from Fami (though their scores are questionable nowadays), and already people who imported are getting their hawt PS3 Slim packages


Oh, and on another note.

My Hands + Leona Lewis = T_________________T = NA/EU

Kimi Ga iru Kara +  Sayuri Sugawara = ^___________^ = JP/ASIA

I'm probably overreacting, but My Hands seems like a reaaallllyyyy long stretch to be a Final Fantasy theme. I'm sure those devs have something up their sleeves, but I'm in doubt right now =/

[Captn' Red]

Well Famitsu is stupid as hell.

The one reviewer who gave it a 9 tho said that the story up to the halfway point was... rather generic.

They never said that about XII, and that game had the worst FF story ever.


And also, the team behind this is the team behind FF X-2..



Edit: Anyhow, seems they sold a bit over a million on day one.

[Tragic]

Yeah. I don't like the change in the song honestly. Besides that though, I've been watching the stuff on Kotaku, looks good. The only gripe I have is how you only control one character in battle who is supposed to be like "the main character" at that point in the plot. >_>

[Captn' Red]

Well Id be fine with just focusing on one character, as long as the other ones aren't total idiots..

Anyhow, they have so many XIII videos over at GameTrailers now.... ughhnnn I need to stay away. D;


This game looks so fucking sweet.

[Tragic]

Indeed. There's like 3 months left until we get it in the states too... This just makes me wish I was proficient in Japanese. =___=

Here's a quote containing a lot of quotes from that article:

“Honestly, it’s the worst Final Fantasy game ever! Everything about the game is ‘lightweight.’”

“This is no game, it’s a CG movie player with an RPG minigame! The story and maps are unbelievably linear, there’s a little divergence in how you level the characters. I just don’t want to recognise this as an RPG. It doesn’t even feel like you’re playing a game, just that you’re being shown one CG movie after another.”

“The characters aren’t very appealing, and the cutesy antics of the female characters got on my nerves. For fans of Final Fantasy, this is really something that is no longer Final Fantasy any longer.”

“The production values are high, but like FF12 there are pluses and minuses. At the very least I don’t think this game can be recommended to everyone.”

“Final Fantasy fans will be looking forward to a good story, but personally I found nothing interesting about the story at all, though this must vary from person to person.”

“The game just repeats movies and dungeons over and over, there’s no variation at all. There are quests in the second half, but getting that far takes far too long. If you don’t enjoy the story getting that far is troubling.

Honestly, this was a big disappointment. I can’t recommend it to people who like RPGs.”

[Tragic]

Well, it is extremely linear, I know that. If you've played FFX though, it's extremely linear as well. The world map concept has kinda disappeared from the games.

[Captn' Red]

I do not mind at all if it's linear, if I want a none linear RPG I play western RPGs.

Anyhow, I'll play if, but if this turns out to be another FFXII then this is my last FF game.
Atleast the characters seems much more interesting than in XII and X.

And the story in FF games have been downhill since VII really.
FF fans generally expect a new FFVII, and that's as likely as Quentin making a new Pulp Fiction.

[Tragic]

I'm not so sure if I'd say they've been completely downhill since VII, but they've certainly changed directions. I loved VII as well and I guess we all just hope for another like it, but I don't think they'll ever create a "new" VII. Just won't ever be the same I guess.

[Captn' Red]

Well imo it has..
This would be my rating for the story of FF games since VI:

VI    10
VII   10
VIII  9
IX    8
X     7
X-2  4
XII  3
