Allow me to a go a step further and illustrate precisely how absurd that statement is. "Lady Gaga has become so grand, how can you really judge?" See what I'm getting at? posted: Only a gamer or fan can tell it like it is, with experience. I disagree. A fan's a fan, and he'll keep swallowing Square's tripe long after the serious gamer has paid his bill and jumped ship. I'm a gamer. I've been playing games for over twenty years now, and I can say quite authoritatively that Final Fantasy wore out its welcome years ago. I'm sick of the same lame-brained, derivative, complacent stories. I'm sick of the same two-dimensional characters Square pumps out night and day. I'm sick of the big hair and the big swords. Most of all, though, I'm sick of asshat game developers like Motomu Toriyama who think restricting a players' options is a good thing. Fuck that noise. This is 2011. I want character customization options. I want open-ended gameplay. I want moral dilemmas that affect the outcome of the fucking story. If I want to watch a movie, I'll watch a fucking movie. posted: New material should be evident and materia should be relevant! lolwut? posted: If the spirit of final fantasy should ever die, I will bitch slap the destroyer! Bless XIII-2, this shit will be awesome! Fuckin' kid's on drugs. Just expressing my opinion. Don't be so freaking mean.

Don't get me wrong, the late greats are memoriable... it's just very nice to experience an old classic in new ways. From what I've learned so far about xiii-2, S.E. will not let F.F. lovers down. Ps That's Lightnings new friend right? Can't remember his name.

gaaira member hollow Joined: 06/07/09 Location: The precipice of defeat Posts: 2,445	at first i was gonna buy it cause its a final fantasy but after all the videos and the updates it looks genuinely interesting -Caius, the main enemy, looks worthy of a FF game -Improved battle system -New additions like recruit enemies in battle, harder bosses, blood damage -Story looks more gripping than that of XIII -DLC stuff so far the big minus is thats its gonna be alot shorter Edited 1 time(s).

I think FFXIII wasn´t really long for a FF game. The only thing that took so long were those missions at the end, but I thought they were boring as hell. It took me many weeks to find to motivation to complete that game. I really hope that this game is going to have more side quest and mini-games. BUT I´ll probably buy it anyway when the price gets a bit lower

Straw man. Quote the dictionary to your heart's content, you know damn well you're stretching the definition of "sequel" in this case. Think about it this way: Superman 2 was the sequel to the original film Superman. Now, suppose the filmmakers remade Superman 2, only this time telling the story from the perspective of Lois Lane. Rather than calling it Superman 3, which would be proper by our sequel numbering conventions, they would instead call it Superman II-2. It is ridiculous. Also, even if the dictionary is online, copying and pasting its definitions without attributing proper credit is still plagiarism.

How many goddamn Street Fighter II's did they make before they finally let up and made a part III? (which I can't even remember seeing anywhere) And what the hell do sequels have to do with what I am? That was just retarded. I know you are but what am I??

I honestly have no clue what you mean by "stretching the definition" or what you tried to say with the Superman example (never watched Superman). But with BattleOfNY's Street Fighter II example, i know he has no idea what he's talking about.

A normal numbered ranking out of 100 by reviewers will come later. I am a bit surprised to be honest. Other leaked info: -The game can be cleared in 45 hours. -Having save data from Final Fantasy XIII heightens your chance at winning awards at Final Fantasy XIII-2‘s casino. -It auto-saves anytime you use the Historia Crux. -There are long load times.

Click here for the answer. If you're in need of further clarification, Battle wasn't bitching about Square making sequels, he was (rightfully) criticizing the straight-up stoopid numbering convention they've decided to apply to their hogwash expansion packs.

gaaira member hollow Joined: 06/07/09 Location: The precipice of defeat Posts: 2,445	So, the criticism I have for FF XIII-2 is pretty much the same I had for FF XIII. the story and the battle. They made well crafted, intricate, complicated stories worthy of the Final Fantasy name but presented them void of any real drama or any emotional shifts whatsoever, instead everything was annoyingly bright, everyone was annoyingly optimistic, the whole ride was painfully sugar coated. Also, they had a very original battle system that combined rpg, action and strategy gaming perfectly well but was not taken advantage of until very late in the game, resulting in 90% of the game being seriously ridiculously easy. THIS is not really the song that fits a sadden and tragic death scene. The one who chose this song should be shot, left to bleed to death and made to listen to the song in his final moments. No other punishment is anywhere near close enough. It's like the creative team was aiming at one thing and then marketing told them, well, people in the west don't like tough games or emotionally complex stories...

Feel like I'm missing out. I really enjoyed xiii, personally. It's too bad it's the opposite for most. That's the way entertainment goes.
