Final Fantasy 13 First Impressions. 9 hours in.

So i got Final Fantasy 13, finally. been playing it religuously when not busy at my station or with other things (basically meaning all night long, yay for being nocternal)

 

So far i am enjoying it. while i can see what many others have mentioned in it being very linear, and straight forward in the first many hours of the game, personally it hasent killed it for me like it has others.

 

Being more of a story motivated gamer, im actually kinda enjoying the linear style this time as its putting more focus on the actual story, and not tempting me with distraction, as im often prone to following that temptation of distraction in more open ended games and it eventually drags me away from the story and i end up losing interest in the game.

 

Visually its amazing, with amazing CG cut scenes that i have come to be familier with in the final fantasy series, and game play visuals that are pretty awesome. i almost felt bad for killing some of those bosses just because how cool they looked.

 

Audio wise, another good mark, great sound track that gets stuck in my head sometimes. only pain about it is keeping my self from humming it around my station else i get my balls busted haha

 

Voice acting is good so far, beside the fact that i wish Vanille would shut the hell up from time to time.

 

Overall im enjoying it so far, and despite all the hate on the game, personally im loving it, story is keeping me motivated, cut scenes keeping me strangly aroused (giggity) and yeah. im gonna post a full review on it once i finally beat the entire thing. 9 hours is entirely to short to make a full credable review with after all lol
