No one made a topic on this? Are you too cool for RPGs? I've been playing it and well all my friends already beat it. I'm enjoying it so far. It's linear like FF10 though, but I like the battle system. They made it fast paced, and you don't have mp to worry about. I know, how could they take that away? Well it's all for the better, the system is very fun. The story is decent too, although they did a good job making it seem more complicated than it really is.
It's also similar to the FF10 sphere grid, but better imo.
Big downside though, if you get it for PS3, there's a 10% chance the game will just randomly freeze after a cutscene. The disc won't even be scratched and it'll just do that. Best to hold onto the receipt and exchange it for a different disc. Square Enix claims the game does it because the disc is scratched, but they probably won't admit that they themselves don't understand the reason why it does that.
Anyway, graphics of course are very nice particularly for PS3 since it's blu-ray. Music is great even though it's not by the same guy who did FF7, which had the best music. You kinda dislike most of the characters at the beginning of the game but you like them more as the story progresses and as they grow as a character.
Well I'm not picky like a lot of people are, but the game isn't for everyone. I had friends who thought the story was okay, one friend who just hated the game altogether (then again he has questionable tastes for games), and others who liked it and especially the new battle system. I think it's probably more likeable than FF12. I liked FF12, but the story wasn't as exciting. FF13 is a little better, but no story can beat FF7 or FF9 imo.
