    FFXIII gets a giant MEH from me. Not a fan of the linear snorefest that is the Final Fantasy series.

    I love the FF games, but dont want to spend money to buy a console just for one game pretty much. I dunno, I think Linear RPGs still hold the top crown. A lot of the open ended rpgs, while fun, tend to lose out on story and suspense, imo. I think a game needs a certain degree of linearity...

    I've been following every bit of any story related to this game. Watched every trailer. The story, the gameplay, everything about it just looks fantastic. I hope it's as engrossing as FF7 and FF8 were.

    I hope the 360 screenshots that I saw recently aren't indicative of the final.

    I haven't played any Final Fantasy since #7 and I didn't even care for that one, sooo... it'll be nice to give the FF series another whirl. I seem to be playing every JRPG *except* the FF series recently.

    I will probably pick this one up used, I loved FF12 ( best in the series imo ) but I am poor at the moment and have a huge backlog of games I can plow through waiting for 13 to go on sale.

    I've got a $10 GC for BB sitting around and can't decide between this or GoW 3. GoW has always been hit or miss with me and the demo didn't do much. The reviews for this say it's linear and back to basics. This I can live with since the micromanaging and mmo esque 12 didn't click with me.

    I'll probably get it used this summer. I've enjoyed most of the games in the series.

    Damn, I still need to beat FF12.

    Shoot, I've never beaten a single FF game. I got close in FF6, FF5, FF1, and FF4 but I never sealed the deal.

    I beat FF4 so many times I probably had 3 light years on the old Big Whale. All those trips to the moon and back add up.

    I'm thinking PS3 if only because FF13 Versus is only coming out on it and I part of me wants to keep the series on one platform. It's also on a single blu-ray for the PS3 version but you do have those initial installs.
