Re: The Official Final Fantasy XIII Topic

I played this for about 20 minutes and already lost interest.

YES!

I still haven't picked it up to play it again. I keep swearing I will, but...

This flier shows a new copy of the game priced at ¥500 ($5.48). That's about what lunch at McDonalds costs! This is one store, so it is hard to tell how widespread this deal is. What's more, this is a limited, first come, first served sale, available to only ten customers (one copy, per shopper).

Man, this 'game' must be horrible if it is selling for that price... and IMO, it is. It's a shame too, considering the setting they were working with. FFXIII truly had a lot of potential.

No, it's called a marketing ploy. Did you not read the "available to only ten customers (one copy, per shopper)" part? What better way to lure a bunch of people to come shopping all at once than by selling a big release for dirt cheap? And maybe all the people that show up after those 10 are sold will buy it anyway... or something else in the store.
Also, the game came out 6 months ago in Japan - it's already cheap anyway (cheap by Japanese standards that is).

I'm not really sure why you're calling Final Fantasy XIII a 'game' as if it were merely a façade or something. I mean, it's not like it isn't one.

Re: The Official Final Fantasy XIII Topic

I think it's funny how many people hate this game.

I really had fun with it.

Re: The Official Final Fantasy XIII Topic

My roommate's thinking of selling it :<

I was gonna borrow it from my friend Joe, but he already sold it, too.

Re: The Official Final Fantasy XIII Topic

It's not a very good RPG. I think Square was quite correct when they backpedaled from calling it one.

I call it such in quotes because I prefer playing a game for the majority of its duration, as opposed to watching it. I tried to give it a chance two other times after first trying it, and then decided I wasn't missing anything...

I'm hoping FFXIII Versus doesn't suffer from the same mistakes as this.

Re: The Official Final Fantasy XIII Topic

No, it'll probably suffer from the same mistakes as Kingdom Hearts and Crisis Core if anything. I suppose... someone... will find out for sure at E3.

I also think Square's correct in not calling FF13 an RPG. Constantly running into enemies after the other, it is more like a Bayonetta or Call of Duty.

And I like it just fine that way.

Re: The Official Final Fantasy XIII Topic

I'm never going to willingly buy this game just to play it!
