Haven't begun playing yet, but I'm so excited, it looks just stunning.
So I've heard. Looking forward to the new battle system, also sounds incredible, although it sounds a bit iffy only being able to control one character.
I completed it in 48 hours earlier this morning, and this included a lot of additional time grinding and doing side-quests too.
The main storyline is very short compared to its predecessors unfortunately. However, there is a lot of side stuff to do during Chapter 11 on disc 3. If I wanted to, I could have made the game last over the 100 hour mark. However, I just wanted to finish the main storyline; I'll go for full-completion of the game later when I buy it for PS3.
Every Final Fantasy game has its own story, separate from all the others. Final Fantasy XIII changes its intentions dramatically during the latter half of the game. FFXIII is ambitious and daring, not to mention gorgeous and energetic. It approaches the concept of "role-playing games" with ruthless pragmatism, lopping off hunks of RPG tradition. It's provided Tactical Paradigm System, Impressive visuals.
just got this for a tenner from Blockbuster, I'll get round to playing it soon. got about 15 hours or so of Final Fantasy VII left, and pretty much all of Final Fantasy IX to play through too
