Indifferent. I'm more looking forward to Versus XIII since it isn't turn based.

Would'nt really care. XIII will be my first FF as long as the combat is good (not sure because I read it was turn-based *vomits*).

I would pray that ff13 vesus is better, but getting lower than a 90 on metacritic doesn't mean it's bad, now below 80 for a main ff title that would be bad

I'd think the hype of "Oh, but it's Final Fantasy" would finally have worn off, after years of progressively more mediocre games. I'd use Gamerankings though - better source.

It won't be traditional turn based, but if that still turns you off then you should play 13 versus as your first ff title

If FFXIII does well on 360 I guarantee Versus will come over Either way with the way Squeenix has been doing on consoles...I would not be surprised

Good for 360 owners I guess. I don't care about the regular FFXIII because I hate turn based combat, not it's multiplatform status.

It won't happen. Square is one of the best developers/publishers. Regardless, I don't care about reviews one bit.

I knew it was turn-based to some degree but the combat looked interesting enough to the point that I considered being able to grin and bear it.

For some perspective: The first and last turn-based rpg I enjoyed was Pokemon Blue Version >.>

Ya, The Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery were given mediocre reviews and SE were really confident that they would recieve good ones. If Final Fantasy XIII recieved less than a 90 on Metacritic I would still play it because I am a die hard fan, but I am confident they will get at least a 90 but not an outstanding 95, 96, or 97. (I was also going to mention that Lost Odessey and Blue Dragon recieved crappy reviews but then I remembered they were made by Mistwalker)

The last 8 main series entries havent been turn based, so Im pretty sure 13 wont be either. ATB=/=turn based. If you just want an action RPG then cool. As for the topic I really wouldnt care. Jrpgs used to be my favorite genre back on the SNES/PS1, but I really dont expect much from them nowadays. Im getting 13 no matter what since the FF series always delivers quality, but I wouldnt be surprised if the scores arent stellar.

its a multiplat, nobody on SW cares about it anymore. You'll only hear anything about it when/if the 360 version is inferior because of lack of storage space (or because of longer loading/2 or 3 discs)

It will get a 92.6 percent on GameRankings.

If it did get lower than a 90, I don't imagine it'd be that much lower. Still shocking, though.

At this time I really don't know what to react if it gets below a 90 on metacritic because not much is known about this game yet. I also kind of lost interest in the Final Fantasy series ever since I last played Final Fantasy X. Maybe if I get hyped for the game then I might feel disappointed, but if I have no interest in it than my reaction would just probably be another game.

im more interested in vs... but to be honest man, i think ppl can think for themselves. We all have our opinions of a game. I am personally looking forward to ff13. Hopefully they improved alot since ff12 cuz 12 seemed like a chore.

I couldn't care less what the FFXIII scores. I just hope the story, characters and gameplay are good. We have seen no gameplay for how long? However I definately have a feeling that the writing (Story and characters) will be bad.

Sony is the one to blame, for fanboy reasons only and it is important to find some serious gifs for Cryme Tyme, it is FF after all , watching this game flopping is like watching Kobe doing 10 points in a full match.

I'm not hoping a game will fail, i'm hoping a company will. Square Enix needs to be done with, completely.

I won't go into the reasons why, but it didn't start with FF13. And I know if FF13 failed the company wouldbe destroyed.

If FF13 scores below 90% on Meta I will castrate myself. That's how serious I am. I love my manhood mind you.

What do you have against female protagonist? Last I heard, she's based off Cloud. I for one don't care for scores, I will buy and play this game regardless. That's how much of an avid FF fan I am.
