Good to go :\

I actually used to like this series, however, even I am starting to get bored with it. They need something new to recapture some of the old fans and get some new ones, insteading of relying on the mass of die-hard fans that will buy it just because of the title no matter how good or bad the game really will end up being.

If the stories good, I'll play it. Some new features and controls would be a plus though. From what I've seen XIII has some new things in it that look/sound cool. And it looks beautiful ^^

Officially dropped off of my to-play-list

EDIT: The site isn't necessarily SFW, here's the image that pretty much sums everything up

Well, I might get it now because so many people apparently not anymore. I tend to do the opposite of what most people do when it comes to gaming. Not sure why O-o

Tim, that is stupid, if it's gonna be a bad game it's gonna be a bad game. I'll wait for some reviews and may rent it after hearing bout the linearness crap =_=

You know I was kidding right? But I might be willing to give Final Fantasy a final try before I disown.

Leona lewis is doing the them for it apparently. i am not happy

Sankaku is all OVER this game, and it's not too pretty either. It's hard for them to go a couple of days just to say how /bad/ it is.

The list goes on, including how the game is even worse for the local releases and Xbawks O owners. :\

EDIT: Just thought I would go ahead and show that they posted ANOTHER one today, saying virtually the same thing about it :\

Wow....that...doesn't look good....definitely skipping this game o,o

I still might rent it first, you can never trust reviews I have come to learn anyways.
