Final Fantasy XIII is fucking awesome.

" What - you get gifts for easter? When did they start doing that?! "

Wow man, that's pretty good. You have a nice speaking voice, and the video is pretty well put together. Subscribed.

Aaaand we're back.

Dave is dedicated, very nice, and amazing. Viva la Dave.

I have the PS3 version of FFXIII and I got the platinum in it as well. I love Final Fantasy XIII with a fiery passion, the game is great. But I agree that the trophies/achievements are very uninspired. I don't mind the grinding, because essentially that's how you're going to have to beat all 64 missions and the Long Gui, which are both satisfying trophies and what I would consider mastering the game. However, the Treasure Hunter trophy is awful and useless and if it wasn't for the trophy I wouldn't even consider that as a milestone to master the game.

I also wish that they had some battle-based skill trophies. Like how long can you keep this enemy juggled in the air. Or something about staggering dudes, etc. But yeah, trophies/achievements aside, FFXIII is an amazing game.

I played and finished Yakuza 4 earlier this month, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had never ever played a Yakuza game before; with the 4th one being my first. They have an excellent recapping movie that goes into detail about the plot of the previous three that was really helpful. Usually when games try to recap, it's not that great or doesn't provide enough information (ie: Dead Space 2, R&C: A Crack in Time), but I thought that Yakuza 4's was extremely well done.

The game is also fantastic, better than I had been led to believe it was. There is so much stuff to do, almost too much stuff. Gameplay is pretty good. But it really excels in its cutscenes and stylistic choices. The mocap for the cutscenes is some of the best I've ever seen, aside from Enslaved.

But yeah, I loved Yakuza 4 with a passion. I have no desire to go back and play the previous games though, but I'll definitely be getting Yakuza 5 if it comes out.

I think it would be awesome if Patrick became a regular on the Bombcast. It would add a fresh perspective/opinions and it already seems like he remembers the details of games and events a lot more vividly than the others. His youth is definitely a bonus as well. I also hope that he likes games that the Giantbomb crew does not like; it would add more to the podcast and the website. Specifically if he likes Final Fantasy, that would be amazing. (I know Rorie does, but it doesn't seem like he'll ever join Giantbomb.)

Out of those three? Super Mario World, by far.
