Prrobably yeah... the story is very FFVIII-esque I think.

Yeah, Final Fantasy has this effect on you in that it makes you realise how ho-hum most games are.

Indeed, this makes up for the mess XII was already, I LOVE this game xD

My hat's off to you all. I have no idea how you can swallow the exact same Square Enix RPG character stereotypes again and again and again.

[Scarlett.]

So what? Its good spending Ł40 on a game that you know you cannot complete in one or two days, I mean half the games that come out nowadays are what...six hours long?

[Stu]

So what? It's a big problem for me, sorry. I judge games on other things other than lenght ...

[Scarlett.]

I do too, but I find FFXIII's story interesting, and the characters interesting, so...yeah...its worth the money

[Stu]

And I didn't .

[Scarlett.]

Edit: lol

Though, maybe you could be looking at the game different from me, since I have only played the post "X" games (X-2 and XII, and I didnt bother completing XII) so...I have only played two FF games, where as your could have possibly played more :]

[Tom4784]

The game has it's faults but I think it definately rolls with the best FF titles. All the characters are excellent (although Vanille is grating at first), The story is something new and the battle system is great and constantly improves as the game goes on. The only 'bad' point (depending on your outlook) is the linearity which I don't really mind. Non-Linearity is heavilly overrated.

[Scarlett.]

I agree Dezzy, this is the first FF game I have enjoyed since 10 (though there has only been two in between), the linearity is done well and makes sense to the story, rather than flying around willy nilly in some skyship

[Tom4784]

To be fair though when you do get to the non-linear part it's pretty fun, I'd hate to admit it but Leona Lewis was right. You do want to spend ages just running around because it's HUGE!!!

Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy XIII has become the fastest-selling title in the series in the UK.

Official sales figures are yet to be released, but it was previously confirmed that the game has set similar records in other territories, selling faster than any other title this year.

"It's great to see Final Fantasy XIII hitting the top of the UK charts and setting the pace as the fastest-selling game of the year," said UK marketing director Jon Brooke.

"With high profile TV spots playing out beyond Easter and branded buses still travelling the country I'm positive this title is only going to get bigger and bigger."

The RPG has shipped 5 million units worldwide since it was released last week. The series as a whole has shipped 96 million units since the first game arrived on consoles over two decades ago.

I'm past the 30 hour mark now, It's a great game.

[Scarlett.]

Apparently I'm going very fast though the game I'm on the 17th hour now and have just begun chapter 9

So, now I will do every battle in the game to make it go slow xD

It's about the normal pace I think, I got to Chapter 11 around 20-21 hours so you're doing well I think. All I'll say is be ready for a spike in the difficulty .

Where abouts on Chapter 9 are you? Best answer that in spoiler tags if it's spoil-y.
