Kotaku and several of it's readers are so self absorbed, I actually had to delete it from my bookmarks.

"This is Final Fantasy after all, not a shallow action game."

Sounds like a shot at Mass Effect 2. Zing.

No what they're saying is you have to play FF13 10 hours before it starts to get even remotely interesting. 10 hours of boring turn based suckage.

Just several? I'd say the majority of 'em -- after all, you must be pretty hot shit if you "pass your audition" to make comments on a video game blog.

As for Tim Rodgers, well, he's an insufferable hipster douchebag whose gimmick is going off on multiple 1,000-word tangents in an already aggravating stream-of-consciousness ramble. Then Kotaku kunts line up to suck his dick like they do when Kotaku's effeminate pirate of an editor hijacks the blog to eulogize the dog his family put to sleep. If Kotaku wasn't a Gawker Media property they'd be a lesser Destructoid or Joystiq.

I'm looking forward to this game as much as everyone else, but I can't help but feel that the screen shots and battles look a hell of a lot like The Last Remnant.

This scares me because I hated The Last Remnant.

Anyone else feel this way?

Naah, it's a different style. It didn't help that The Last Remnant was built from the Unreal Engine.

nah, i actually enjoyed last remnant. it could have been a lot better if they hadn't rushed it to release, but like many of the jrpgs so far of this generation, you had to look past the crap to extract the good. well worth it in the end, a lot of good ideas in that game that i'd like to see live in another, more well-produced game.

yeah it's been around but this one is most diffirent the rest it's about chaining attacks and spell's to break the foo. alot of elements names and chaning it's base on FFXI or should i say FFXII with a twist of X and talk about the break system came from dissidia.

I knew most of that. As long as they don't screw it up like VIII's, I'm fine.

Or, you know, they could try making a decent game again being as everything since X has sucked.

Well, XI didn't blow to hard. But for the most part, I sadly have to agree.

Sweet Jesus, X-2 almost lead me to alcoholism.

i didn't really enjoy 11 and don't even really count it as a final fantasy. played X-2 (girlfriend at the time was playing it) and it was god awful. haven't gotten to play 12, partially because i'd abandoned video games at that time, i'll probably visit it when i buy a ps2.

but yeah, more or less, i've been waiting since X for a solid final fantasy that interested me. that's what....almost 10 years?

X-2 was really fun. That's one instance where I can say the story and characters sucked but the gameplay really carried the game for me. It had the best combat in a FF game, I hope 13 can carry that same quick pace.

man, i love how everyone thinks this reached the 1.6mill mark just with japanese buys.

Flash news people, some of those sold games are around the world. 1 of those is on my hands. Yeah, i bought a heave text/dialogue RPG in a lenguage i can only understand like a 25-32% of it.

I'm also playing my japanese coach to reinforce those known words and learn more. Thank god the dialogs are spoken, i can only read and write around 75 kanjis, xDDDDD

PS3 version is confirmed to have the Japanese dialogue.

Don't feel bad-I imported Grandia for Saturn and couldn't read a word of it.

The game will probably pick up this week as the Japanese like to go shopping on Jan 2nd and 3rd.

I figure the vast majority of game sales two weeks ago were the special bundled ones. Now, it should be from all the kids who got their new-years money and go shopping.

*though I went to my local midori electronics shop and very little sales prices, but definitely more kids and parents at the video game area.

Well well, looks like the majority of FF fans that are left, bought the game. It doesn't seem like there's too many left, lol.

Just wanted to let everyone know I hate JRPG's. In fact I don't really care for RPG's as a whole.

I know you don't care, but tmac still seems to post stuff, so why can't I?

Well, he was banned two times already, I think. Hopefully he'll be banned again. Do you want to follow suit? :P

To the people that are commenting and saying that the sales are "bad"; How are approximately one million sold copies in one week bad when the game was just released in Japan and only on the PS3 there?

Well to a phenomenon like Final Fantasy. It's not a great start.

Dunno about square anymore. They have been making horrible decisions lately and I have been seeing a LOT of articles on how much they hyped it and that it came out really bad. Apparently glitches made it in among a ton of other issues about the game just not being that good and not that "final fantasy" anymore. I have already canceled my reserve because the game is just not looking that worthy of my attention anymore. Think I will let the fanboys beta test it for me.

Rather expected. It'll still cross 2mil in Hapon, though.

So, what's the attach ratio for FF13/PS3 in Japan?

Half?
