- Plot
- Repetitive soundtrack

Repetitive music? That's odd, I had heard nothing but good things about the soundtrack.

Still, sounds like the gameplay is fun!

I'm glad to finally see this game get some praise. I was getting really tired of hearing so much crap about the game because it's linear - oh no! Hopefully this is the kind of reception that the game gets in the States; not that it matters much to me, though, because I'll buy it and love it no matter what kind of reception it gets anywhere.

Isn't Combat System and ATB the same thing?

I guess the people defending that terrible review in that other thread will ignore or try to discredit this one. ;)

I've found that this sort of thing is especially common when you're dealing with sites that offer translations. The truth is that translations in general tend to be very inaccurate of the source material, because languages were not created with the intention to be translation-friendly.

I haven't seen a high review for FFXIII in a long time. I'm worried about the repetitive music, but I'll wait until I get my hands on it. :

I think it's separated since there's more to the combat than the ATB like the paradigm shift system.

I really think people should wait until the game is released to call it a flop or success. The only reviews we have been getting (in english) are from unknown websites, and while it's not always the case, they usually release those reviews merely for hits.

Meh, still not interested. The only redeeming factor FFXIII would have had for is an engaging plot and well-made characters and dialogue, which isn't looking too good.

The combat looks tedious, not my kind of thing.

It's from some Polish site, and I am from Poland, Polish press is mainly full of backwards-thinking nostalgia-filled Sony fanboys that have been glorifiying Final Fantasy, Japanese developers and JRPGs in general for ages.

I agree with this. Reviews will not determine if this game is good or not, it's the individual player only.

Plus this site is not specialized in gaming, rather in (superficial) arts and (equally superficial) culture.

While N4G may be infested with Sony fanboys the site itself did not write the article they always come from another place.

Are there really that man fans that want a Final Fantasy VII remake? I, for one, hope like hell that there is never a Final Fantasy VII remake, and I love the game. I can't imagine a remake doing any sort of justice to the original.

i don't simply for the fact that i didn't like it...just couldn't ever get into it myself

i really liked advent children though...so maybe i'd like it more if they remade it

BUT i'm not hoping they remake it...i could care less

and to answer your question...yes, i'm sure there are a TON of people who want it, especially in japan

Let's hope that's score represents how good the game is. And thankfully, no "teh linear!" complaints. FF has always been pretty linear, get over it.

Finally? Famitsu gave it a 39/40 and Dagenki a 100/100 and said it deserved even more. Those are some of the most important reviews in japan, the only place the game was released. Why do the reviews of some random guy on the internet that you never heard before are more important than these?

I'm hoping I won't be disappointed when I finally get around to playing it. So far, it doesn't look to good from all that I've read.

Odd, I have read that the plot is great and that the soundtrack is cool too. First time I read that the combat system is great though.

Famitsu gave Last Renmant a 38/40 and FFXII a 40/40. I don't trust them with jrpgs.

Just because a soundtrack is good doesn't mean you want to hear the same track all the time.

I'm sure it'll be good, but I doubt it'll top VI and IX as the best in the franchise.

They didnt said the soundtrack was bad, they said it was repetitive. Different versions of the same songs are played many times during the game. But that doesnt means they are bad.

Losing fans but the sales are getting better? How that works? The FF13 3rd week sales just increased a lot and were better than 10 and 12, and theres less ps3 now that there were ps2 back then. And all of that after all the negativity torwards FF13. How is that losing fans? People just dont care about negativity when its about FF, they will buy it regardless of that and see for themselves.

Doesn't every FF game have repetitiv music? It's mostly the same battle music in every battles execpt for boss battles.

Well, Idk if this is considered "repetitive" but sometimes music is used for multiple areas. And sometimes music can be repetitive in a single area when they use one of the fast paced, short tracks that loops over and over again.

Honestly, It think the game needed a bigger soundtrack with more area-specific tracks.

You're the only one making sense. Bad reviews, they jump on. Good reviews, they jump on. Its no names people, relax.

If that's repetitive, than every game has repetitive music.

The plot being a negative is a fatal flaw..........seriously Kitase's team is overrated. This game is going to get savaged in the West.

The problem is that we're posting a slew of reviews from unreliable websites before the game's English release.

It's probably Kitase that you can thank for FFVI's plot being as strong as it is.
