For me, its not started off at all like any of the previous games, they seemed to throw you into the action straight off, you got to actually do some playing while the story got off to a rushing start, this game hasnt done that to me yet, and this is one of the most important parts of the game.
You have to say that a game really needs a good begining to get things up and running, FF10 starts pretty slow....then with the blitzball scene it gets really good and im starting to think im back in FF, them something strange happens and the game just slowed down again.
Its not all bad, im intrigued to find out whats happening next, and it does seem to be building to something big, its just that, well, i think the graphics may have gone to Squares head at the minute, so far i havent played, i have watched, i hope its starts to improve in that aspect soon.
Got to say though, the graphics and character animations are very nice indeed, but still, a little more play would be nice sometime soon.
Starting to like it alot more now things are getting a little more tougher, and starting to make a little sense. Still need to play it much more though.
But there is the whole weekend yet.
(It was a free GAD..thanks SR!!!)
I have only played half an hour or so and i think that so far things look very promising. However, i have law degree exams for the next two weeks and have vowed that i will not touch the game again until my final exam is over.
Don't feel too sorry for me though... after these exams i get a huuuuggggee 3 month summer with nothing to do until early October but play Final Fantasy!
As soon as I've finished my exams I'll finally be able to lock myself in my room and play 4 unplayed ff games!!! I've got withdrawl symptoms - the concept of over doubling my collection from 3 to 7 is overwhelming.
> The demo of it was quite long wasn't it?
I believe so!
Blitzball sucks at the moment since I can't win a game. And I don't think it's that I'm crap either, It's actually impossible to win until I get some better players.
The weird talking team have a goalie with 18 blocking points. Tidus has 10 for shot accuaracy and that's my best player. So you see, it is actually IMPOSSIBLE to score!
Then again, I have only played one game other than the game you have to play. I lost that one 3-1 the first time but thought I could win so I retried it and lost 3-0. :-D
Auron is the man!
