Final Fantasy XIII isn't too great of a game. I probably would not dislike it so much, however, if it wasn't a prime example of wasted potential.

That basically summarizes the game's battle system: wasted potential. On paper, the battle system sounds like the best the series has had yet. A perfect blend of the strategic elements of class Final Fantasy titles and the fast-paced action of other games. And during the first few hours, you really would think that the battle system is the best in the series. So how could it go so wrong? Well, there's a couple of problems with it. First and foremost, the combat becomes repetitive. While one may think the game allows for a ton of strategic depth, the way most of the enemies are structured and the way most of the abilities are designed ruins all of its potential. Bosses will become spamfests, determined by how quickly you can change paradigms and hope for the best. Secondly, not being able to control individual party members is a real detriment. while it may work in a game like Mass Effect, 2 where the level design matters as much as the enemies you are fighting, for a game like Final Fantasy XIII, in which the outcome of a battle depends purely on your combat choices, it only hinders the experience.

As for what was mentioned in the beginning of this review, that also summarizes the story: wasted potential. The underlying lore, setting, and atmosphere of the game, in theory, compose great fodder for a story to be told. However, unfortunately, the execution of the story-telling is just plain terrible. Many of the character sound like broken record players; repeating the same spiel over, and over, and over again. The most notable offenders are Hope (Mr. "I don't think I'm strong enough/I'm gonna KILL that Snow") and Snow (Mr. "We're the heroes! Never give up!"). The rest of the crew, Vanille, Lightning, and Fang, are incredibly one-dimensional with no real depth; the only character with any real depth and memorable personality traits is Sazh. And it says alot about a game if the most memorable character is a middle-aged man with a baby bird living in his 'fro.

Finally, the music isn't that great, either. While some of it is good, such as the battle themes, alot of it devolves in to cheesy J-Pop. *crag*, the worst offender is the chocobo theme; they gave it *crag*ing lyrics. You don't give lyrics to the chocobo theme. You just plain don't.

So yeah, ultimately, I'd call this game more "disappointing" than "bad." If you're a die-hard fan of the series, you should probably get it, but be wary. If you're not a member of the FF fanbase, well, this game definitely isn't going to convert you.

I mean, I love the look, feel and sound of it; really makes me feel like I'm a little kid playing NES games again. The mechanics are pretty sound, from what I've played. Maybe it's the pacing; it feels way too "directed." Not enough room for deviation from the narrative or exploration at your own pace. I'd probably like it better if it wasn't connected in a Metroidvania-style way (Because that way it could just focus on the action and challenging level designs), but if it's going to be Metroidvania-style, then I'd at least like some room for exploration and deviation from the game's narrative.

I'll make this short and sweet:

Things I Love About It

-New Super Mario Bros. Wii U is wonderful; haven't tried anything else yet
-I can play console-quality games while taking a dump

-The Miiverse message board thingy; it's like a heavily moderated oekaki version of 4chan. I just like drawing funny pictures with pop culture references.
-Multiple input schemes.

Things I Hate About It

-Somewhat long load times
-The way you have to type out someone's name to add them as a friend (And the same in reverse)

 

Goron Mask told me to screencap some of the old command center posts, so here you go. The first one is pertaining to Goron Mask, but there isn't actually much pertaining to him; the forum is culled after five pages, so the posts made before I was mod are no longer viewable.

For several months now, you have gradually leaked plans for a "Nerr 3.0," that supposedly combines MMO-style game mechanics, forum posting, and light social-networking elements. This is a very innovative, clever idea! However, the big hurdle that you must tackle is development time and manpower: you, alone, cannot handle RPG-style battle systems, visual representations of forum topics, networking, and the countless other features you are planning by yourself, and release them in a reasonable amount of time. The problem is that you need a partner, and I am the solution to that problem.

If you provide me with your source code, I can help develop your plan when I am not too busy with my own pursuits.Not only that: I can help you design and develop digibutter so that it becomes a viable source of income, and expand and market it across the internet. I can seek out other small websites, quite like yours, that we can take in under our wing, with the promise of security and additional development help for their own sites if they need it, in exchange for an agreed-upon fee. The members of digibutter would have nothing to fear: the other sites need not interact with our own. They will merely be part of a network of sites owned by a single webmaster, you.

In addition, with the growth of digibutter, it will be set up in a manner that the older members who would prefer a private club can very well have that: a clan system quite like the one from the original digibutter forums can be implemented, and the members themselves could manage them. This way, everyone wins, and digibutter becomes a force to be reckoned with.

If weighing actions by consequences is the defining feature of master morality and weighing actions by intentions is the defining feature of slave morality, are trolls--specifically, those who value arguments that are intentionally stupid--slaves?

you get extra cool points if you post pictures of sexy fat chicks

also hiya, i'm the official president of digibutt and i welcome you to our humble island nation
