FINAL FANTASY XIII (PS3 GAME)

yes.today is the day i defeat the god damn orphan in Final Fantasy XIII and saved cacoon from doom. after looooong 70 hours+ of game play of course. i do manage to complete 30 missions though. My review of this game is this game is awesome. Yet there is much to say, there are pros and cons of this game as well. this is an underrated game of course. Many of the gamers might not like this game and it's fine because this game might not be your poison. 1st of all, this game is just graphic perspective awesome. Lightning as a main character rocks. Nothing can change that. Just hope that one day a guy is that awesome worthy to marry her as a bride. Snow is a huge dude but without weapons is just not my poison. Fang is so awesome character so i want her to accompany me until the end. Vanille is very kawaii and pretty i definitely want her accompany till the end but too bad she lack of party status buffs. Sazh is not my poison. period. Hope is defenceless but very useful in his status buffs so come in use at the very end when we all lost hope i guess. definitely this is a genre that have may people's hate and started to wonder why this AAA title went to a path that is soo not familiar to us. My answer is that this is the start of the game revolution i guess. For better graphics you must sacrifice some game play. For quicker battles you must sacrifice some game play. At last for awesome graphics you must suffer some strange game play. THE GOOD 1.very quick battles if you do it the pro way. 2.Just leave 99% of the work to AI and everything will be done through time. 3.very awesome graphics. Thanks SquareEnix. 4.Very interesting cast of characters except Sazh. (i guess we just not need a old man to be in a fantasy story full of teenagers.) 5. no need to heal or revive after a battle. Fresh stats every battle. As long as leader remains. saves lots of time and money to get those phoenix downs and potions. 6.lots of save points. Loved it because time is precious. 7.chocobo treasure hunt is fun and fast paced like a racing game. 8.the submissions is fun in its own way. the mission boss is challenging. 9. Grand pulse map is very big and interesting with a Chocobo. 10.Japanese voice acting is awesome during battle. (Fang, Vanille) add more in future pls. 11. the huge monsters are interesting to kill in grand pulse. THE BAD 1.story is not very well explained. There is no love story for Lightning...... 2.Ultimate weapon takes 2,000,000,000 gil to transform with a catalyst. very expensive. Just gives us what we want already. We paid for the game...... 3.AI will do everything for you, just you command. 4.long game play. At some early scenes i nearly fell asleep because it's dark and dull and not kind of fantasy game i was hoping for. (well the interesting game starts when they reach grand pulse and it's somewhere past middle of the game.) 5.too much weapons and the design should be more interesting in size i guess? would like to wield a killer ass sword like in FF7 as her ultima weapon? 6.summons is pretty much time wasting and not that powerful as hoped. would recommend the FFX summons. kick ass. just put an option that we can skip the pain in the ass summon scene. will puke if repeated too much of the scene. 7.summons consume TPs. limited usage..... 8.summons mix mecha= eidolon design is feels weird . preferred FFX summons (traditionally) 9.Vanille's summon is horrible in a way.... 10.Sazh does not fitted well in the fantasy genre, and his summon is a car? urgh.... So, what is to hate in this genre? First of all i would say the story is not that well explained and mystified till the end. I guess this is because SquareEnix don't want to reveal too much because it's a trilogy story. I guess the story is still a soo familiar save the world scenario so it is best to be mystified till the end so lets the gamers felt it's complicated. LOL. Then the game play. the AI do it all for us. Just we need to do is set the path what you want it to be. This game focus much on the speed and what sets of command you need for the part. All is AI decided. So, this is the future of gaming i guess. Human just leaves all their cumbersome chores to the AI. It makes us gamers feel we are not too involved in some way. The game is long and hard to beat... The last boss is something. transformed 2 times. At least it it gives us infinite retries. LOL. thumbs up. (in the past we will need to load the save games and start from the beginning again) but it is challenging and very satisfying when you finally beat him. Just need some strategy. But that is to be expected in every game of Final Fantasy that we all loved but we shouted to the developers so that they can improve and do better in future.
