I just bought the game and i'm 2 hours in and this game is amazing... Everything about it has me in awe. All of the characters are fantastic, the game is gorgeous, and the story so far is great, and to top it all off, i think the chocobo is the cutest thing in the world :)

Considering how long it took to develop, it should be... not to mention the lack of towns.... :cry: It is incredibly pretty though. I spent a good while just admiring the graphics and the art design.

i cant believe this game got so much hate for being linear. when ffX was almost the same. linear for the whole game, then it opened up right before you start the conclusion ( i havent played 13 but its coming so i'll see myself). FF10 is one of the most loved ff games out.

i gotta say i am impress with it. i think they don't want to overwhelm the player and throw everything at them in the beginning. so they give you stuff once in awhile to keep it fresh and different. and i don't see anything wrong with the linear gameplay and leveling up. the leveling up is more satisfying than ffx because you dont have to leave anything. although, if this was a ps3 only game it would have been different. i think the developers made it this way since there isnt much jrpgon the xbox platforms yet. so they don't want to make it a super hardcore rpg game and lose xbox people interests.

The hands are pretty janky, but everything else looks wonderful.The art design is probably some of the best I've ever seen.

very nice looking game, but damn it starts off slow(and still kind of is, on chapt 6), very much of the same old scene + dungon gameplay, digging the fightin system though. i been waitimn years for a new ff after 12, but this game made me like ff12 more, a solid game, def not what i was lookin for though, o well i bought it ill beat it, 12 though

The hands don't look bad enough to bother me. Honestly, how much time do we spend looking at their hands compared to their faces? It's probably for the best.

Yeah the graphics are great. From what I've played (chapter 8) the game is awesome. Yes it's linear but I honestly don't care. Story is good and the characters interact well together. Battle system is awesome. Massive improvement on FFXII. While I did like FFXII I find it odd that it's the second highest rated FF game while FFXIII is the lowest non-rerelease in the main series. Seems underrated by many to me.

I am not complaining about it, just that I can't wait for the next gen FF game, it's gonna look wonderful

Honestly, if SE release this as a new IP, I'll bet it would be a AAA title for sure. The burden of bearing the FF name is hard :wink:

Too bad that's all there is. The combat makes you feel like your good but switching Paradigm's is simple and easy.

Maybe that was a bit negative. I just wish the story would pick up and give me a reason to care about these characters. Lighting's like a Cloud clone.

its a good looking game.

I must also say it has the best music of any final fantasy game as well...it can be kinda Space Opera-ish...kind of reminds me of Star Wars or Star Fox at times.

It does look extremely good. However I do notice the occasional crappy enviromental texture. That is forgiveable though considering how detailed everything else is.

The 1080p cutscene on the PS3 are jaw dropping. I wonder how they look on the 360. I'm sure they look great.

They look "good" on 360, but not nearly anywhere the level of ps3's cutscenes. (I understand the need to do 720p because of DVD limits) but why in gods name square didn't go VC-1 route instead of "Bink" is beyond me. The actual ingame look good, roughly similar to the ps3's, just not quite as sharp due to resolution.

I'd throw in my own comments, but i'm stuck playing in SD right now until I get back to my own place. SD looks fantastic though :P

I had tons of texture pop in and really ugly shadows (apparently no one else noticed this) FF13 on the other hand is (so far) polished from head to toe. The vistas are breathtaking, some of the large structures you walk through are amazing (much like Uncharted 2). Sometimes I cant even tell the difference between FMV and in game right away. This is arguably the best looking game on a console (until GoW3 apparently :P)

I did a couple of times, plus I played n teh PS3 so I got some fantastic dips in FPS :P

I think AC looks great for such an open area to explore, but FFXIII, with it`s strict paths allows for some fantastic vistas and graphics. I find each areas design to be unique and striking.

Graphics are the only thing FF 13 has going for it and is Final Fantasy in name only, it's more of an Anime movie than a game sad really.
