I just started FFXIII yesterday and I really like the battle theme. The rest of the music is good enough, but it's not very FF-y to me. Neither is the game, so I guess that works!Quote:

I pre-ordered FF:4HoL today. Not exactly sure it's warranted given Matrix's track record. I loved what I played of FF IV DS, but had significant, irreconcilable differences with Avalon Code, and Nostalgia is maybe the single blandest JRPG of all time.
Well, good luck at trying to have fun with this junk. As much as I disliked Ys Seven, it's better than this game.Quote:

Only buy this game if you want to become depressed.
there's a review up on 1up dot com that sheds a little more light on the game. from what i've been reading, even of the negative things, i think i'll enjoy the game.
blueskied - what SPECIFICALLY did you not like about the game?
What a pile of shit.
Joust, the icarusfall of gaming discussion.
Stupid, frustratingly restricted inventory system (this will drive you insane - in some other games it works, but not in this one). Horrible save system (requires lots of time-consuming backtracking, like really old NES games. Really doesn't work well in a portable system). Weird difficulty curve (some things are super easy, some are really hard, just randomly tossed together). I also thought the story was complete crap, I mean so bad that you eventually don't even know why you're playing any more. I've read that improves after the 10~15 hour mark, but I couldn't grin and bear it that long to find out.Quote:

Going back to Saga 2 DS, and how incredibly awesome that is in comparison to this game - I played it nearly non-stop over a weekend, and beat it in about 29 hours of play time, enjoying every second of it. The last time I did that before Saga 2 was at least 15 years prior, when I was a teenager.
If that game doesn't get a port, you should all cry rivers of tears.
