CrimsonOcean 02/02/12 7:27:00 PM #1:	Woo! Clocked in at right around 70 hours. Did about half the missions and completed stage 9 Crystarium plus picked up some extra abilities in other classes as needed. Disclaimer I just got an HDTV like 2 months ago and this is the first PS3 game I've played so I might be a little too amazed at the graphics for my own good. Anyway... Game play: Really fun and fast paced. I felt like every small battle was like an epic fight and I think that's what they were going for. Animations were pretty, flashy, and interesting. I had no freaking clue how Eidolons worked until like 2/3rds of the way through the game, and I could probably count on one hand the amount of times I actually used them. It was weird having a summon that didn't really do anything. But even still, the introduction animations were pretty beautiful. Overall score: 8.5/10. Loses points for useless Eidolons and Auto battle (even though I almost exclusively used it >__>) Story: Good but reeeeeally confusing. A lot of it is hidden in the datalog and in extras like the Episode I novella. If you just play the game without reading anything it would be kind of difficult to put all the pieces together. Possible, but just lacking. Also I was immensely confused about Sanctum l’Cie and Pulse l’Cie and Sanctum fal’Cie and Pulse fal’Cie and Pulse and Gran Pulse and Cocoon what the hell is going on and what the hell is the difference? Obviously I have it all straight now, but I’d say for a good 50-60% of the game I was super confused. I think story is where this game fell a little bit short. Not necessarily on the story itself, but on the execution. Extend a few scenes and add a few scenes and a lot of the confusion would dissipate imo.

CrimsonOcean 02/02/12 7:27:00 PM #2:	Characters: In my opinion the absolute high point of the game. I felt the characters were all individuals with their own unique design and personality. Were some of them a little trope-y? Sure. But they all worked and they all brought something important to the table. The dialog could have been better in some spots, but overall it works just fine. I even found myself not hating Hope. I mean, I didn’t like him, but I didn’t loath him either. And for a kid character I’d say that’s A+ work. Lightning: Going in to FFXIII I was 100% positive Lightning was going to be my new favorite FF character. And she very much delivered. She basically just punched people in the face whenever she felt like it. Snow: Good VA, cool design. I’ve never been a fan of the cheerful male hero type character, but I liked Snow. Sazh: Chocobo fro! Sazh made me laugh more than anyone else in the game. He had some pretty good one liners, and the scene in Nautilus with he and Vanille was really well done in my opinion. I was actually shocked when he turned the gun on himself. Hope: Eh. I actually liked the little mentor relationship he had with Lightning. It was kind of cute. The whole vendetta against Snow for half the game was kind of poorly done in my opinion though. Vanille: So adorbs. And despite popular opinion I actually liked her voice. Not the cookie cutter kawaii desu~ voice those types of characters usually get. The delivery could have been a bit better, but overall props. Fang: What even has to be said about Fang? Possibly the greatest character of all time let’s be honest. Blindsided me and completely trumped Lightning. Fang > Lightning >>> Vanille > Sazh > Snow > Hope Overall score: 9.5/10. Hope being a little kid and Snow being cheesy drag it down slightly. Music: Very good. This might be the first video game that has music that might find its way to my iPod eventually. Especially enjoy Fang’s theme and Vanille’s theme. Only thing that was a little weird sometimes were some dungeons with Sazh. The jazz thing is cool but didn’t fit with the setting at all. It was just kind of a strange atmosphere. I even thought the Leona Lewis song was well placed >__> Overall score: 9/10 Graphics: I would have loved to have a few more cinematic cut scenes because they were so beautiful I thought my eyes were going to melt out of my face. For example the grand prix scene in Eden. Yeah. Basically amazing. Overall score: 8/10. Graphics were good, but I wish there were just more cut scenes and that some of them were longer. I felt like I did a lot of killing and didn’t get a lot of pay off. Overall: 8.5. I’d actually give the overall experience of the game more like a 9.5/10. I liked the linearity, I liked the lack of side quests, and I liked pretty much everything about what was going on in front of me. Question. What was up with Fang straight up going to murder Vanille there at the end? I really was not understanding what they were going for there. -- http://img.imgcake.com/crimjpgpe.jpg Mo' buildings mo' problems ocean kinda grew on me like a flesh eating ...fungus. -BIGPUN9999 <cite>CrimsonOcean posted [p:742775] in Just beat ...

LeonhartFour 02/02/12 7:31:00 PM #6:	From: CrimsonOcean \| #002 Question. What was up with Fang straight up going to murder Vanille there at the end? I really was not understanding what they were going for there. I think Fang was going to kill her so Orphan couldn't make her become Ragnarok, or something along those lines. I'd have to go back and check on that. But glad you loved the characters, too! We're in the minority on that! What was your favorite Chapter in the game? To me, it was definitely 7.

Oookay. I thought it was kind of something like that. Like she'd rather kill her than see her forced into turning into Ragnarok or something. But it was just really unclear to me. I'm starting the FFXIII-2 demo pretty soon. I'll have to see how that goes before I go out and buy the whole game. I don't really like what I see so far in the previews. I don't really care a lot for Serah, she's ok, but Noel looks terrible and I don't really think I'm going to be into the whole monster fighting thing. So.

UItimaterializer 02/02/12 7:55:00 PM #22:	Glad we have most of the same opinions on this game. We may actually get along yet. "Fang > Lightning >>> Vanille > Sazh > Snow > Hope Overall score: 9.5/10. Hope being a little kid and Snow being cheesy drag it down slightly." I think you overrate Lightning though. I thought she was just a douche for the sake of being a douche, whereas Fang and Vanille have good reasons for it. And yeah, Fang is my favorite character in the series, I love her to death, both as a character but ESPECIALLY in fights. B** is just broken as hell. -- Get the X out.

NeoElfboy 02/02/12 9:02:00 PM #27:	Yeah, it's pretty hard not to see where Lightning is coming from with regards to Snow. Anyway, I think my own ranking is: Lightning > Snow ~= Hope > Vanille > Sazh ~= Fang ... but I really can't emphasise enough how much I like this cast, I don't think there's another cast out there where I like my "least liked" PC this much. I see the TC's hype for Fang who is tied for my least favourite and it makes me happy, which is a wonderful feeling. Of course some of this may be related to Ulti being totally right how fun and powerful she is in battle. (And yeah I know I'm weird for liking Hope, but what can I say? I thought the game totally sold me on him being an emotional teenager who has had to endure a really terrible few days and him channelling his anger against Snow made perfect sense in context to me.) -- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion <cite>NeoElfboy posted [p:742800] in Just beat ...

CrimsonOcean 02/03/12 7:10:00 AM #29:	What's that Leon? Neo, it's understandable that someone would like Hope. I actually thought he was a pretty well done character myself. And yeah, just because he's at the end of my ranking doesn't mean I don't like him. It just means I don't like his as much as everyone else lol. But yeah, characterization was great in this game. Just out of curiosity, what makes Fang your least favorite? And Mr Crispy that's definitely a good idea. Once that game starts opening up you spend so much more time just fighting and doing random stuff. I think I spend a good 20 hours just hanging out in Gran Pulse doing missions and buffing up and just exploring. -- http://img.imgcake.com/crimjpgpe.jpg Mo' buildings mo' problems ocean kinda grew on me like a flesh eating ...fungus. -BIGPUN9999 <cite>CrimsonOcean posted [p:742802] in Just beat ...
