Final Fantasy XIII? Is it worthy of my AUD$100? I've been playing MW2 non-stop since it came out with a quick Bioshock 2/MAG break, mainly because nothing of late has really taken my interest. FFXIII looks like something I'd enjoy but I'd like to know what people who have bought it think about it (in terms of story/gameplay/game length). I'm huge FF8 & FFX fan and I really want to know if this game will stack up?

I say again, I am not a fan of (Puts on flame suit) FF

Turn based combat systems never really did it for me and I liked the Kingdom Hearts saga alot more

I dont know I have been thinking of one day finding it and renting it and sitting down and having a crash course in Final Fantasy but today is not that day. Really from what I heard you could do a lot better but you could also do a lot worse. If your a fan go for it I guess. If your just looking at it as a passing glance I have absolutely no idea, depends on your taste. Check out the review for it I think it just got posted today..?

My girlfriend is a huge fan of FF, and she got bored of XIII pretty quick...

I'm not a HUGE of FF but i'm actually into this game and am currently playing it. I find the battle system nice and smooth and going by quicker then the others did.

i honestly couldn't stand ff8, that game literally pissed me off for how much i did not like it compared to 7,10,12

however, i think 13 is pretty good, granted it doesn't give you as much control, it gives you a different kind of control in battle and whatnot, you gotta beast through the tutorial (first chapter or two) until you can get into customizing and really getting into the strategy, overall im really liking the story and the characters though

I think wait a bit, it's certainly more expensive then I think it's worth.

It's $140 NZ at the moment, there's not many games I would buy for that price.

I'm personally waiting until it is cheaper. Hopefully sometime over the summer.

Your currency is a bit stronger I believe, but we make up for it by having an R18 rating for our games.

The battle system is a lot different than FF8 & X. Just warning you... but from what I've seen, it looks really really good! I'm itching to buy it myself.
I want to wait until its cheaper, but watching how FF12 went, I'd have to wait almost a year to see like $10 difference. So. Probably going to get it full price.

:( don't remind me! I get a lot of my games overseas so that I don't miss out (such as left 4 dead 2)and it normally works out cheaper anyway!
Unless it's got region specific DLC then I'll buy international.
