Check out FF13, it wins at everything.

ill try to import if it has subtitles but i will probably be out of stock till it releases in NA.

[QUOTE="ColdP1zza"]Aren't those cut-scenes? But that isn't even everything, its just graphics. FFXIII looks lame to me because the main characters are little girls with pink hair. I'd rather play as a believable hero like FFIV's.hakanakumono

Wait, so this is a believable hero:

But this isn't:

Or if we're talking about the other characters, FFIV is the only one with ... an actual "little girl."?

Agreed. Lightning >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Cecil. And other than Rydia I can't think of a single other "little girl" either that was a main character.

This is a must buy game.

Pretty much yeah. I think I'd believe the knight in the armor to be the one to kill monsters and save the world:

Over these two teenage girls wearing practically nothing:

lol well yeah there were other girl main characters, but ColdP1zza specifically called them "little" girls.

This game is so emo, gosh, dudes are becoming more feminine looking. disappointing. I guess its just a different culture. I'm still getting it for the m$360, just don't turn the game in to another love story.

[QUOTE="Jynxzor"]I seriously don't get what people have against the character designs of FF games "Or JRPG's in general" Sure they are not musclebound space marines and they usually have some form of hair and are not prematurly bald, Nor do they take steroids on an hourly basis. But what can you do, it's how the Japanese culture represents heros as those who stand out from the crowd of conformity the Japanese culture is ruled around. Japanese people look at most JRPG characters and think of it as breaking away from their conformist culture and know it's ok to be different. I don't see anything really special about WRPG character design besides the fact you can always create some form of "Lumpy" person that slighty resembles you, or has some extremley abnormal features.subyman

It's really more that characters like Squall and Tidus are seen as good looking, masculine guys to the Japanese eye.

Characters like in WRPGs are considered to be overly masculine and sometimes even "gay."

Argh why is the word style censored? i cant say art style WTF?Drakes_Fortune

I really hope this is better than 12.

Im aware of that but I think its pretty obvious. JRPGs arent like WRPGs, they way more linear and have far less substance.

But sure, what I said means nothing unless we have played the game.

Anyway,perhaps you like your RPG´s linear,with abssolutely no character creation(only those generic teenaged spyked hair characters),minimal(if none)side quests,luducrous combat system that makes any real RPG fan yawn,linear storytelling(although some of the stories have some quality) with no possibilities of branching to alternate endings,etc,etc,etc....

Now,go see the definition of the acronym RPG,and see if these features(or the lack of any of them)seem remotly close to what RPG means....

So,all in all,DA IS a RPG,while FF games are adventure games with some very mild RPG elements.So FF is not even in the same league as DA...

So,by all means,please,continue laughing....I sure am.

Final Fantasy 13 hasn't been reviewed by GS. Unless that's your prediction.

Dragon Age and Final Fantasy XIII are in two separate genres. It's ridiculous to say things like "well FFXIII is too linear!" because JRPGs really aren't about making your own adventure; they're about experiencing an imaginative adventure in an original, fantasical world.

The thing I don't understand are these comments about FF combat being "boring" and the design being "medicore" or the characters "generic."

First of all, the battle system is being revamped. When the ATB was originally introduced, there was a greater emphasis on speed than before. Speed is being emphasized once again and it's changing everything. If you've seen the new battle system you would know that i'ts more active than ever before.

Second of all, FFXIII's cast is unlike anything we've seen this gen. The main character isn't even a male (and no, it's not the same character model as Cloud). Where else do we see a character with costume design like Vanille or Sazh? And what of the world? FFXIII's premise already includes one of the most original worlds in JRPG history. But what, "Dragon Age" is more imaginative and creative in it's design?

It's almost like half of the insults towards the Final Fantasy series are either from people who know nothing about JRPGs and think Final Fantasy games haven't changed since 2000.

Did we really just compare Cecil to Lightning. Playing FF4 right now I can easily say that Cecil is an awesome character. The whole FF4 cast is quite enjoyable and likable imo. I can't say the same thing from what I've see of FF13.

looks awesome I would definitely get it
