I should probably just buckle down and finish FFXIII.

JRPGs stopped being interesting when they went full anime. You never go full anime.

Not as good as people hoped it would be... just like 13...

@Dberg: What about the Persona series?...

What ever happened to the moogle redesign from 12? Why would they change it back? Those were some goddamn cute moogles!

That right there is why I stopped playing/attempting Final Fantasy games, it's like committing to marriage, you have to be in it for the long haul.

I had no expectations about 13 other than "it looks pretty" and it did, so...

Jeez, how many trailers are they going to make about this game? I hope they actually spent some time on the game itself.

But, you can say that about any RPG series.

To repeat myself: The demo allmost completely redeemed the game to me. I have not finished 13 yet (a first for FF games) but the return of previously obvious features and some fun new ones did start reeling me in.. But!.....

What the hell is the story in this game...?

Playing for 10 hours and still not being through the tutorial is slightly extreme, even for the longest RPG's.

i hope this does good for them, because holy shit talk about trailer after trailer, and i even 3/5 liked ff13

I guess we will find out what the full story is when it finally comes out, well asides from the time traveler trying to prevent the end of the world. Hmm I do like the time traveling aspect that this game is using.

A shame the demo was so unimpressive. If impressions from the Japanese release are anything to go by, they're also seriously misleading people about the extent of Lightning's involvement, too.

spiderbat87on Jan. 27, 2012 at 3:30 p.m.

I fucking hate this music. I just want Versus to hurry up.

Flappyon Jan. 27, 2012 at 3:33 p.m.

Yup! This is probably gonna be the only game I play in February. As long as this baby is better than XIII, then I'll be satisfied.

You're right but, every RPG you're in it for the long haul. FFXIII is just poorly paced and does the japanese thing of needing to excessively explain itself because it thinks its audience is stupid. It reminds me of the Square that thought that Final Fantasy IV was too hard for Americans so they simplified it for us dumb Americans.

And Marriage is an RPG that you never finish the tutorial for.

Already?! Wow.

I hope this game is good, but I dunno.  Square Enix seems more concerned with what looks good these days than what is actually fun.  It looks like another flashy FF game with a metro sexual hero, a heroine who dresses as slutty as possible,, and a villain who looks like a broody male model.  Couple that with the usual JRPG story nonsense and we'll probably have another game that is too Japansane (Japanese/insane) for Western audiences.
