Me too Dmitri, the story had some great political thrust but the gameplay was largely automatic, maybe we should have seen the Full-auto in FFXIII coming...
I loved FF12, same with Ben I did everything in that game. Beat the hardest monster hunt things, and I figured out a way to get the zodiac spear for Basch really early in teh game 🙂
I also liked the story, Balthier is one of my favourite FF characters. He is like a james bond airship pirate.
Its not my favourite FF game but I did really like it.
I am looking so forward to this I can't contain myself, can't wait for next week! It comes out the week my semester starts though haha. dang. 🙁
Some people from the uk bought it on the us psn store ( it s 5 less then retails ). Might want to check that option out if you can t wait anylonger ( 21 gb tho ).
Thanks for the heads up! Think I may just invest in that, it would certainly be easier to play than when I start studies again. 🙂
Awww it's to bad it doesn't out do PSXe's current reigning jrpg PS3 champ.... Final Fantasy XIII
=p

But in PSXEs defence they were not the only ones who overrated that game. FF13 is the most overrated game of the generation, in my not-so-humble opinion.

You hate JRPGs, Beamboom...of course you'd say it was overrated. And it wasn't. 🙂
XIII probably should have been penalized more here for the awful writing and empty story if NNK is getting the same treatment.
Heroes! Blahhh.
That's a Fal'Cie LIE, WORLD!
I think I'll erect a monument in memory of FFXIII's amazing story! =p
That's it. I'm changing my name to Thunder because of blah bla blah bla BLAH
Sorry but that's wrong, Ben. I don't *hate* them, I just haven't had any reasons to love them (yet?). That puts me in a minority around here, but really, not being a lover don't make me a hater.
The way I see it the first game floated on the history of the FF franchise.
FF13-2 received the metascore the first should have received. The high meta of the first game made little sense to anyone but jrpg lovers.

Uhhh my focus is to entertain PSXE readers and occasionally butt heads with them for the hell of it 🙂
Beamboom: I was probably being too specific. You seem to dislike anything that's linear, which is why you have the opinion you do of FFXIII-2 being better than XIII (because there's no CHANCE the story was better in XIII-2; it was abysmal).
So in my estimation, this makes you immediately biased against games that don't have the so-called "freedom" of open-world titles (where freedom is usually just an illusion in the first place).

Butting heads with some -WAS- my focus. Then I turned to crystal on like... day one. I'm writing to all of you through your dreamlike states via telepathy like Vanille and Fang did for Serah.
