Final Fantasy XIII comes out tomorrow

Who else will be getting it then?

High expectations?

I'll get it during the summer, I hear its very linear though. I mean it leads you too much, FF is supposed to be about exploring and It ain't got much of that.

I think it will become the Zelda II/Mario Sunshine of the Franchise, you know games that tried to be different which were not as good as their predecessors.

I'm not, at least not yet.

I posted a facebook challenge the other day saying if anybody can convince me to buy Final Fantasy 13, I will personally buy them a hat.

If you guys can, same prize!

What type of hat are we talking here?

If it's the metal type that master Bra'tac from Stargate wears then you're on!

Played the game for about an hour or so there, and I'm really liking it so far.

Reason to buy it? One of your companions keeps a baby chocobo in his afro

'Nuff said.

One of my mates said that. I never really bought games on the prospect of one single event, I'm afraid.


Sadly not. Looks to be more a casual hat like a baseball cap or a trillby or a ushanka, something like that.

Resisting the urge to get it because if I let an RPG take my life again then I might as well just kiss my college course goodbye! O_O

I played it for a while at D-con it seemed really good other than the fact that it was on the x-box...i suck at x-box games! prefer ps3 the buttons are in the right place lol

I bought it on the other day, and so far i'm really enjoying it i love the main character in it, she's cool

Kyo, i love your sig =3

Been playing it since last week and only on chapter 4 (hardly any time to play between uni/work/boyfriend)

But one thing that is bugging me......................Subtle things that have been nicked from Xenosaga.....

The Stagger system works almost identically to the Break system in Xenosaga.
Same with the battle system; choose a series of attacks and unleash them in sequence.
Even many of the uniforms and such are almost identical to Xenosaga ones >_>

Not that these are putting me off the game; i actually love the battle system and think its one of the best in a while, even the 3-way battles are awesome

Although Hope.........not since Selphie have i wanted to beat a character more ¬_¬

ugh hope... it forces me to play him.. whiney little runt.

yeah i meant runt... prob

If you hate Hope now wait till you see what Eidolon they gave him.
Reasons to get it?
Lightning is Cloud from 7, except she's a woman. In fact, the entire first chapter was stolen from 7. Other reasons; it's gorgeous, I mean Avatar grade gorgeous, the battle system is epic and the Crystarium you use for upgrading the characters is great just to stare at.
Personally I don't hate Hope that much, I knew he was going to be the whiny guy but unlike most whiny guys, he knows to shut up if he doesn't have something important to say.

well after 25 hours ive reached the first nonlinear part hurrah!!

though i cant say that it being linear bothered me at all...

Been playing the game also this past week. It's one of the longest games I've played in donkeys.

My rental of the game ends on sunday, so defo gonna rent it out for next week also.

Are you kidding?

Hope just lost his maw... He's probably the only character I can bare in FF XIII so far. And Selphie was decent, her Full-Life move made up for any character flaws
