Nice to see this game's getting pretty good after the long tut. I'm starting to look forward to buying this and a 360 (can't afford a PS3

) eventually but hopefully this summer.

About an hour in, my impressions:
-Snow's theme song is awesome.
-I know Lightning is supposed to be based on Cloud but all of her awkward pauses and military ridiculosity reminds me of Squall instead.
-Vanille is really, really annoying. According to the reviews I've read, the entire cast is completely likable by the end of the game, so I'm reserving judgment.
-I hope that by the end of the game I'll be able to use more than 2 attacks per character.
-I honestly can't tell if I'm getting any extended benefit from my battles so far other than 50 potions and 10 phoenix downs.
-When did Sazh and Lightning meet? I mean, he's been following her around as if they're friends but they treat each other like strangers. And I don't think they've been introduced.
-Kinda confused about Snow's jacket. The design on the back disappears when he leaves combat. Is that ever explained?
-I don't know where Hope got his boomerang from. Also, BOOMERANGS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY.

Will continue sometime in the near future. I just wish they'd let me goddamn level up already.

WHY THE FUCK IS CHAPTER 3 STILL THE TUTORIAL

Yumil · 03-09-2010, 07:42 PM

If I could of took back the game for a full refund last night, I would of...it bored the hell out of me for the first 3 hours(had no idea what was going on, battles were just press select, etc...).

Now that I've gotten further, the combat and Sazh are keeping me entertained, but I'm sure plenty of people may shelve it.

Is this a Rent or a Buy guys?
I can only buy new games every once and a while so Be picky

FYI @ the jacket thing.

That's his "weapon." It is some kind of special symbol that makes him stronger, so instead of new gloves or knuckledusters he gets a symbol on his jacket.

So, the Wal-Mart I work at sold more 360 copies than ps3 copies on the first day(20 to 15, so it isn't a big difference, but still surprising to me, it wasnt due to stock as we got 24 of each>.<)

I'd like to see the sales figures at the end of the week, it'll be interesting. PS3 will probably still come out on top as if you own both, there's no reason to get the 360 version as in everything but framerate, it's the worse product. I personally bought the 360 since I dont own a ps3(My roommate does, but he wouldnt let me "borrow" it). Frankly, looking at it, it seems to be an extremely lazy port, and I honestly hope it sells very well compared to the PS3 version(not saying over) so that they may actually put some major work in their port of the engine...as it seems to be something they plan on using in future titles.

Roommate went to get his on midnight launch.

There were like almost a hundred people there, and only one of them wanted the 360 version.

So, yeah. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
