[Mega Mike]

[Ermac]

This should be good.

 

[BlueSummers]

*In b4 riots

 

[xero273]

insert some joke about not enough money fomr SE

 

[Feep]

Not sure if this is better or worse than a 40.

 

[Majmun]

So basically...

-edit-

...it's an "RPG-like RPG"

 

[Kagari]

/shrugs.

 

[Kandrick]

Really ? :lol

Lack of ASS.

 

[Gospel]

Square must have lost money on Crystal Bearers so they couldn't pay off that last reviewer.

 

[Peff]

I read it earlier, so it's confirmed :lol? I KNEW it would happen.

 

[farnham]

ff 12 stays the best of the series

 

[Zeliard]

OH MY GOD THEY THINK SUPER MARIO BROS WII IS BETTER THAN FINAL FANTASY XIII OH GOD.

 

[Chris R]

edit: I can't wait to play it. How soon until we can get a demo on the JPN PSN?

 

[DMeisterJ]

Hehehe

 

[Gravijah]

ff 12 stays the best of the series

why do you think this, sir?

 

[schuelma]

Wow..I half thought it would get an eleven from one of them

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I blame Microsoft

 

[clashfan]

I haven't played FF13 but I know it deserves a 40!

 

[Shadowlink]

:lol

Still a good score though. I have to wait for the NA/EU release though.

 

[Sipowicz]

Dragon Quest wins again!

what now dawgs?

 

[protonion]

Noone can blame them for money hatting now!
The game is truly awesome!!!

 

[EmCeeGramr]

It must have been too hard to unzip the money sack.

 

[LINK.AGE76]

Interesting

Spoiler

:lol

 

[Gravijah]

threads like these are the easiest way to find the people that don't read the FAQs

 

[ReyBrujo]

I thought big titles from Square weren't reviewed until a week after being released. Or was it for Enix titles only?

(PS: X > Y comments are dangerous here, I think. People watch out)

 

[Y2Kev]

oh god, it's shit

 

[[Nintex]]

Reviewer 3 probably didn't like his gold plated belt.

 

[SecretBonusPoint]

That NeoGAF poster/meme told them that honour and shame would come back to haunt them. An expert on it, no less.

 

[farnham]

why do you think this, sir?

it was just a reference to the famitsu ff12 review (it got a 40 out of 40)

 

[pieatorium]

beaten by SecretBonusPoint

 

[Busaiku]

Final Fantasy XII vindicated.

 

[Zeliard]

I just stole this from the FFXIII thread:

Reviewer 1 - 10/10
Beautiful graphics and superb story. These aspects can be enjoyed without feeling as though they're being forced upon you. Combined with this, the extreme sense of satisfaction from the gameplay, is a direct result of a system that's evolved and reached perfection.
With no vice to really speak of, at this time, this game stands at the RPG forefront of a superb combination of story and gameplay who's value can undoubtedly be experienced by all.

Reviewer 2 - 9/10
There's a few niggling issues like battle damage being difficult to see, and the screen being cluttered, but the amount of enjoyment this game offers more than makes up for it. You'll be drawn into the world with visual, aural, and story aspects. I have a bit of resistance calling this an "RPG-like RPG" however.


Reviewer 3 - 10/10
Extravagant and dense (referring to the amount of content?). A lot of points to keep your eyes open for and is very movie-like. Very beautiful movies are included in a story full of events, to the point where it's difficult to determine where to put the controller down at the beginning. With the amount of character growth, gathering and crafting available in the game, there's enough enjoyable content for you to last for a while with just this one game.

Reviewer 4 - 10/10
Including the beauty of the visual side of things, the total quality is very high. The script is strictly dandy and irritating (whatever the hell that means). Character typecasting is unavoidable and while there should be "your own (character's own?) story", this does not exist. However, the sense of satisfaction gained from playing the game is extremely good, and is something I've never experienced before.

Resistant to calling it an "RPG-like RPG"?

Needs moar elaboration.

 

[Gravijah]

it was just a reference to the famitsu ff12 review (it got a 40 out of 40)

Are you lying to me?

 

[Kusagari]

So, Nintendogs > FF13.

 

[Y2Kev]

I don't even care about the quality of the game, really! How dare they!!!!

 

[I AM JOHN!]

Square shot themselves in the foot.

 

[pieatorium]

I just stole this from the FFXIII thread:

It's a JRPG no more elaboration needed

 

[ZeroRay]

Third reviewer is Matsuno confirmed.

 

[wrowa]

The Yakuza eliminates Reviewer 3 in 3, 2, 1...

 

[Wario64]

Someone forgot to send a check

 

[Animator]

It just became a rental for me.

 

[schuelma]

I don't even care about the quality of the game, really! How dare they!!!!

I feel like they've changed the rules now.

I'm all confused

 

[Mama Robotnik]

This is surprising. Famitsu normally doles these 40s out.

 

[sprsk]

If true, I am a very happy boy.

 

[Zeliard]

It's a JRPG no more elaboration needed

Ouch!

But I assume he means that something about it is different than past FF games.

You mean the elaboration you're never going to get?

So, Nintendogs > FF13.

See? At least somebody got the joke right.

 

[Kobun Heat]

That's really surprising, considering they give them out like cheap expired candy these days.
