I have a midterm on the 9th, 10th, and 11th, and a paper due the 11th. I'm gonna try and not play at all till the 11th (I may skip club that day) so I don't get interrupted. I haven't been this excited for a release since MGS4....

haha nice zack...where'd u come up with this? 12 and 3 pictures were my faves Took me a while to get them all. I made 12 myself (was originally gonna be 13, but I couldn't find anything for 12). 4, 8, and 10 were the hardest ones to come up with. Still haven't really played it (only the first battle) cause of midterms, but the battle system seems to be combination of FFX and White Knight Chronicles (<3). Very streamlined if not simplistic. That said, I'm starting to get a crush on Lightning =3 Finally a female protagonist that isn't hardcore bitchy or happy go lucky crazy. And hot. Very hot. And a gunblade <3

good job though. very creative. i'll have my review of the game in end of next week...since both ps3 and xbox360 are at home...spring break '10 = beach, beer, and FF13. by that time the entire nation will have beaten it. still something must be said of ff13's low score on metacritic, which currently, is sitting at 82/100 for ps3...and 84/100 on xbox . its all the stuff we've heard before...pros: great presentation, great gameplay, cons: STORY. will this discourage me from playing? no of course not. i've played every ff game (even chocobo tales >.>) so i won't stop now. but it does concern me in the fact i hope square enix won't take this approach for future ff games...not that i think they will. imo, this game was kind of an experiment for storytelling and "fixing" the gameplay of the previous installment. ff12's gameplay was good but not great and grindy at times. looks like they nailed it this time. this is all of course just my initial take, but i still find it weird that i dont wanna rush right in and play this. im actually interested in god of war 3 more... oh btw, if you're wondering i kinda looked all the final fantasy games up, and the one with the lowest score (of the main line ones, not spin offs) was 3...with a score of 77/100. and is anyone really surprised with that? cuz im not

Just before anyone relies on the reviews, the "problems" are really generalizations that aren't very justified... I think the reviewers probably didn't like how this final fantasy feels a lot like a mix of the others. FFX-2 Battle system, FFX environments, and a liiiittle bit too much name referencing (Cid, Lindblum, etc)
The graphics though. Get it for the PS3, fucking my eyes are being strained literally from how beautiful this shit is.
ALSO THE FUCKING MENU SCREENS AND SHIT. GODDAMN. SO PRETTY. EYE ORGASMS.

well i've been watching my suite mate play it the past 3 hours and yes it is extremely beautiful. the story just irks me so far at least. great battles but underwhelming plot (again so far...he's about 8 hours into it). and its funny that about 3/4 of the reviewers from the big names are indeed final fantasy fan boys. they all admit it. some stick to their true fanboy-ism and give the game super reviews, while the ones who can distance themselves from the fanboy-ism can, to an extent, review the game for what it is. by all means the critics aren't panning it, its pretty well-received, just the least well received one since 3. that's all i wanted to point out really

Nick - the plot is almost not there until about 10 hours in. then suddenly, shit all goes apeshit awesome. Seriously, when Snow gets back into the action, basically, shit is suddenly as great as the beginning of FF8, you know, the Seed Missions awesome. :3
