Multi-discs never happened.

Final Fantasy 13 is the first game I will ever pre-order and on the day I get it if anyone gets in my way, Ill kill em...

why? just why? While I really enjoyed FFX anf X-2, FFXII was utter crap. The craptacular combat system made me drop the whole thing after half an hour. Unless they return to fully turn-based like FFX, FF series is dead for me -_-

FF13 is turned based... kinda, its not that the fail system of 12 in any way.

I know I'm going to enjoy FFXIII. I'm just very annoyed with the limitations we have to suffer because of Microsoft did ... So much content was cut, English voices, the downgrades .......... urgh ... don't want to complain. I'm just gonna play it. I'm a JRPG fan.

[kurandoinu]

I won't be able to play it anymore because I don't have a ps3 or 360.

This makes me cry.

[Nikran]

you should do what a friend of mine did once; borrowed my console for like 6 months. I wasn't too amused by that one, but he must have put finished whatever he was playing in that time =P

Didnt think anything was getting cut/downgraded because of the xbox port. English voices?

Ohhh yea ... You didn't see the interview video back in E3 2009 did you? They had an interview and were asked to put Japanese voices, at least for the PS3 version. Well, we didn't get it because "both games need to be the same" and they don't want one to out balance the other. Whatever, wait and see Versus XIII to have Japanese voices ...

Forgot about that, but the Japanese voices would only be nice if it had subtitles as well for me. As long as they didnt secretly reduce anythin else just to fit it in. Dont you live in japan tat and already have FF13?

Thats the idea.

Bump. PS3 and 360 versions are getting collectors edition! When I get White Knight Chronicles, I'll switch my pre-order.

What do you get with the Collectors Package? I need to know before buying it... I remember FF12 had different CD with it.

I Think only the PAL verison is getting a collectors edition the one that comes out in Europe.

The jam-packed-sounding set - available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 - will contain the game itself; a soundtrack CD of in-game music chosen by composer Masashi Hamauzu; a hardback book of FF artwork; 3 Art Prints and a 'Brand of the I'Cie' decal adorned with symbols from the game. The whole set will apparently come packaged in a special branded presentation box - info from IGN

^ Sounds almost identical to what we got for Dissidia.

Suposedly, Final Fantasy XIII is getting a lot of bashing according to Sakura Complex:

Tatsujin, you're going to get the game right away, right?

I dont really understand what the problem is people are complaining that it has a linear story well duh its a console game its not an mmo its supposed to tell a story. They thought poeple would prefer visiting lots of new areas versus the same areas over and over. I dont really see what the issue is with that.

The criticism does not seem to be about the linearity of the storyline, only.

For example:

• "The party is always fixed."
• "You can’t flee battles"
• "Moving around is like a long marathon."

It's possible to tell a story without being that linear.

Not being able to flee from combat and running around feeling like a marathon has nothing to do with the story feeling linear those are gameplay mechanics. That would be like saying I dont like the fact its a turned based combat system or I dont like that you only control 1 character at a time etc. Having a fixed party would directly effect the story because only the characters involved at the time would be including in the story true but maybe that made it easier for them to do the cutscenes etc. I dont really have a problem with that. To me the story is the most important thing in RPG's. I wont play an rpg if im not enjoying the story and this one sounds like they did it well.

[Takeshi]

What I might get a problem with is if there's really an insane amount of FMVs instead of real gameplay. Although from the videos I've seen of the gameplay this is not something that is apparent so I don't quite understand where they get this from.
