Alright just finished FFXIII , boy its been a while since I had to face such a tough end bosses , my recommendation have a shit ton of elixirs , elixir is your best friend . I know most people didnt liked FFXIII all that much but I really did , it made me feel awesome just like FFVIII did (my favorite until this one , now FFXIII is ma fav sorry for the haters :P) , I wont do all the side stuff cause I have a lot of games to finish . So if you havent tried this one well I suggest you do , is not as bad as people say it its ( a bad FF is still more than average game so you cant loose) ok 1 down 21 to go O_OU!

I haven't played Final Fantasy XIII myself but one thing that seemed to turn people off of the game was that it took a while to get going. From what I heard it was a very long game and a lot of the people who originally complained about the game on online forums seemed to only be hours in. Granted, poor pacing is a legitimate argument but I think a lot of people criticised the game before it really kicked into gear.

Played about 10 hours of FF13 and I like it. Took a break to finish up STALKER because over break I'll probably be away from my gaming rig. Also like you I have 20+ games across 3 systems that I need to tackle. I'm so screwed.
