It is why we have those adult ratings.

Some games are not meant for kids, as kids are more malleable at this age and may misinterpret some actions of the hero.

On a side note, many studies about games have NOT found a corellation about games and physical violence.

If they had found a big enough corellation, you can be sure some US senators would jump at the chance to corellate games with guns.

@balrogbane my first was Morrowind. I played an imperial there.

In oblivion i tried all sorts of races

(ex argonian fighter -> Arena Quests)

(ex breton mage-> MAge's guild quests)

I played Khajiit in Skyrim though ( i did all quests)

@CovertChris yeah me too. i got it on Xbox. boy have i regretted my choice

@bdous yeah 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians.

The Thespian regiment all wore black cloaks.

They carrie shields with the emblem of the waxing moon (1/4 moon).

This was the emblem of the Melaina Afroditi (Black Aphrodite) an aspect of Aphrodite associated with night, sadness, grievance and love.

They had made a vow beforehand that they would all die and would never return.

Most people remember Spartans though

@el_swanno Maybe you should also see some other sites. IMO this is exactly like Carolyun Petit & Arkham Origins review

The game got praised in Japan. 37/40 in Famitsu.

FF 13 is the 3rd most successful Final Fantasy from official sales

(If people are wondering why 3 FF13 games have been released)

Also FF Lightning Returns got a 37/40 rating at Famitsu.

Also it has sold 400,000 in japan (end of 2013 stats)

So yes FF Lightning returns has been doing extremely well in Japan.

Here the game received many 7/10 for its controversial timer mechanic

DETAILS:

The game has an internal Doomsday clock of 3 days. They even have a clock tower like Majora's mask.

If you dont succeed the world ends, and you can try again while keeping the same stats & weapons you collected in the first playthrough.

Also the game is open world so you can visit any place by monorail (It has 4 big islands)

The game has Easy & Normal difficulties (Think it is more as Normal & Hard)

You can only level up from sidequests, not random battles (the enemies are visible)

This is to prevent grinding from random battles.

Also if you escape from battles -> the clock advances 1 hour ahead. So dont do Gamespot escapes and then blame the clock & the timer mechanic.

VERDICT: Timer Mechanic is controversial like in Majora's Mask. Here if you fail you can try again with upgraded stuff, so there is no problem, and the game's open world helps you more if you get bored

Bottom line, if you like JRPGS & Lightning -> buy game asap

If you hate Lightning as Gamespot does -> 5/10 review

So yes FF Lightning returns has been doing extremely well in Japan.

Bottom line, if you like JRPGS & Lightning -> buy game asap

If you hate Lightning as Gamespot does -> 5/10 review

@fatee if you escape battles the clokc advances by 1 hour.

maybe he shouldnt escape battles constantly.

Plus Maybe you dont know the story. Lightning is like a chosen now, FF13-2 established it. She is the chosen of Etro

Makes sense that characters respond to her.

When a journalist doesnt know the whole story, its easy to rush things and make meaningless assumptions.

And the timer is the WHOLE POINT of the Game.

@Fandango_Letho Bravely default was made by the same company (Square-Enix)
