Sef - "This game seems gay"

I'll probably pick it up, storyline was gay in the first but the graphics and battle system were great.

I'll probably pick it up, storyline was gay, characters were gay, world was gay, leveling was gay, difficulty changes were gay, battle system was gay, grinding was gay, but I played the first anyway.

Seriously, I completed FF13, but I do not remember anything storywise because it was completely insignificant.

I'll be happy if there's new Serah porn coming out from all those japanese drawers.

Only thing I really remember from the storyline that was sweet was Sazh shooting himself in the head.
Which turned out to be not.

eeeeh... the lake scene in FFX was touching. Or everything FF7. Or when Atomos destroyed Lindbulm in FF9.... etc etc. fuck ff13.

The stories in the FF games used to be the draw. FF 12 and 13 screwed that up, and sorta ff10 (not sure about ffx-2 I didn't pick it up because it looked like a barbie game for girls). At the time ff8 was out I was a teen going through girl problems and was a bit emo so Squall was pretty much acting how I wanted to act (leave me alone. Dance? I don't want to dance!). I can't relate to these anime jp pop fem boy stories at all (ff13).

The main reason I didn't pick up 13 was that I was emo that it went from the awesome open world of ff11 and 12 to a very corridor linear game with no cities or towns.

With all that said it seems like this game may have fixed a lot of the gameplay issues from ffxiii. I'll look into it but I doubt it'll interest me still.

Having recently played through X, XII, XIII again recently I can easily say that 12 was the best 'played' game of the three of them. Tidus acted like a bitch the first 8 hours of FFX, more than enough to frustrate me into hating him as much as before. I absolutely loved, however, break damage limit. That ability alone gave the game an entirely new concept.

12 was awesome on top of awesome because it was so much faster than other FF's. The fights were also way more epic than others...FF12's Yiazmat takes like 4+ hours whereas the most difficult boss prior (Emerald Weapon, imo) took like 20-25 minutes at most. Only thing I didn't 'love' was that the final dude was a regular guy. I thoroughly enjoy saving the world and there wasn't as grand a feeling with that.

FF13 I don't want to begin on, that sucked. I started it again before I got Skyrim and I'm literally only keeping it because I still have my other FF's. I got like 2 hours in before I realized how boring and linear it is.

I hear FF13 is a tutorial up until after the 14 hour mark. Then it's the game, though apparently a tutorial starts again.

E-Rock, not everything is epic, shithead.
Also, yeah, 13 is a 40 hour hallway. Graphically it's probably the best game I've ever seen, had a perfect blend of realism and colouryness (technical term) to it. Most people hated the battle system though, I really enjoyed it. You only controlled one character which for a lazy player like me is perfect, made the battles quick and painless.

one of the youtube commenters sum it up:

Seems like they just put out some "Make FF Based Music" contest and picked randomly.

Sounds like they are trying to be like Persona 3 and 4's soundtrack or something but failing hard.

Listening to some of the other songs, it seem like some are great and fits ff but they have spots and clusters of "What The" types sprinkled in there.

Nothing really left to say.

There is a FF13 -2 demo on psn and xbl store. 1gig let's lol together.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... OaE#t=438s

Like a true fanboy i downloaded the demo.
I actually liked it more than i had expected, only thing really annoying was the music and chocolina.

Also graphics seemed really cut and paste compared to skyrim for example.

Beeing able to have monsters in ur pt bst-style was neat tho.

I thought 13 had the best graphics out there, and 13-2 seems even more polished albeit the same engine. New best looking game imo.
The battle-system is nice, even more flowy than 13 which is fine by me since other than the graphics it's the only thing I enjoyed about the game.
The moogle and all the characters seem annoying as balls, I see the trend continued from the previous game.
I'll probably pick it up, the battle-system sold me on the first one although the story was like taking a shit on your bosses desk and then trying to convince yourself there's no DNA in poo.

Believe it or not, that interview I went to yesterday actually ended up on the topic of FF13. He was asking how I got so skilled at typing and I said "well, frankly, I play a lot of online gaming that requires a keyboard. I played FF11 for like 6+ years." He then says "I'm currently working on 13 right now, anything I should know about?"

I told him that if he can play through it without realizing it sux that he is a greater man than I.

That job is so yours now vedder.

Also FFXI was how I really learned to type fast. I was in Business Computation classes, and some other computer stuff but using the keyboard in FFXI really improved my typing speed. Now that I think about it, I always have typed fast though. I had to type pages and pages of text, it was all just training for ffxi.
