Final Fantasy XIII diary: 1; First impression

Time in the game: 45 min

(Note that this is what i feel and if you got another opinion then i respect that and i wont argue with that)

This game is so beautiful in so many levels. When the game starts it is playing this beautiful melody on the piano in the menu screen. I am in love with this games music. The game starts as i take control over a hot and bad girl named Lightning and a cool brotha named Sazh. The game drags me in at the first moment with awesome cut scene with good action and the best graphics i have seen.

Then the first battle starts... its a boring button mash, all i have to do is to click on the "A" button and the game fights for me. I know this will get better in the future in the game but for now is is not impressive and quite bad. Sometimes this routine change when i have to heal myself though.

Then i can walk with the Lightning character and i get amazed with the scenery, wow. But soon i realise that all i do is holding the stick forward and looking at the scenery. So for now this game's gameplay contains of holding the stick forward and press the "A" button. Again not impressive and quite bad design.

After some time i get the chance to play as the character Snow, he is not that bad either i must say. he is stupid to think that he can defeat the enemy with his bare fists but he acts like a hero.

So what is my first impression? It is a truly beautiful game, and although the plot is confusing and hard to understand, i like it. This is because i hope that it will better later in the game. But maybe that's the problem, because as it is now i don't really like it, if the game is not fun from the beginning you risk to scare the player away.
