I’m not too sure about XIII yet, graphics look so amazing but over the years they’re slowly taking away the bits I love from the games – World map for a start and now in XIII there are reports of no towns! http://kotaku.com/5433455/final-fantasy-xiii-impressions-15-years-later-25-hours-in

It’s good to see them doing something genuinely different though, and not just pulling a Resident Evil 5 and making it EXACTLY the same as it’s predeccesor!

I got FFXIII on release day and have put about 8 hours into it so far. I’ve only scratched the surface of this game, but I must say that even with my crappy Japanese ability, I’m loving this game. The environments, music, characters, and story all appeal to me.

Will this game surpass Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Champion of the World in my books? Not sure, but it’s doing a heck of a job so far.

I’ll be pre-ordering the NA version too, but I’m waiting to hear more about the LE.

My days of playing FF games are long over. I’ll always have fond memories of FFVII and FFXI, but they’re just too time consuming. Nowadays when I have time to play a game I want something fast paced that’s going to give me some instant gratification. So, I’m turning to FPSs.

I still love the art though!

Oh and by the way, my birthday is March 5th.

I’m excited about this game too, and I’m going to buy the Japanese version, but first I’m going through FF8 on an emulator. Lots of fun, and I think the things I don’t like about 8 have been changed in 13 which is great :)

I pre-ordered the North American version the day they announced the release date. ^^ Now I’ll have too keep my eyes and ears closed from spoilers until we get it, lol. I really wanted the Limited Edition PS3, but I already have a regular PS3.. just couldn’t afford it. :(

I pre-ordered the game from PlayAsia and it shipped today (woohoo!), but like many others, couldn’t get the Lightning PS3 ordered before it was gone. I wonder how much of the game sales reports include those of us who ordered from overseas? I’m sure that has impacted the sales number at least a little bit. When the English version releases, I’ll get a copy of that for the kids; and, yes, Square Enix owns us! Even my 9 y/o has the FF battle and chocobo themes as ringtones on her cell phone. :)

Where is a good place online to buy Japanese games for import?
