It has been exactly one weeks since Final Fantasy XIII has come out and I must say it is a jewel amongst RPG's. But who am I kidding Square has barely ever disappointed. Personally I think if you leave final Fantasy XI and XII out of the picture, the team of Square Enix have made sure to make a perfect run. With the exceptions of those two games the Final Fantasy series has been flawless. XIII being a perfect addition to add to its riches, starting with the concept art of Tetsuya Nomura, Nao Ikeda and Isamu Kamikokuryou and continuing all the way to the fine tuning of the CG animation; the game is visually orgasmic and addicting to the very last second.
Though the game play has slightly changed, not only due to the battle system, and seems slightly more linear then the rest. It doesn't take away from the traditional Final Fantasy feel of the game. BE WARNED, however that the game has seriously long cinematic at the beginning and will seem quite simple. None the less, I can promise it is only a minor flaw, totally compensated for by the visual beauty and amazing storyline.
With a wide range of characters that, no matter if they are good or evil, all look like super models. It's hard not to loose track of the transition of film-sequence to actual game play seeing the quality of the graphics can barely be differentiated. It never gets boring and although, in my opinion, Snow is obsessed; Vanilla has an annoying voice and Hope reminds me of Zexion from kingdom hearts (who, not only has a m.i.l.f. for a mother (as my friends kindly put it) but also is the true Emo of the game.)
Its amazing to see that Square always has a surprise up their sleeve.
This game is definitely what every gamer, geek and Square fan has been waiting for.
Buy it, Play it, Love it...
You know you want to. <3
