Just beat the US version of FF13...
Pretty much the same thing with shittier voice acting and a really horrible leona lewis song (as opposed to the mediocre voice acting in the jap version and a slightly more tolerable song from some japanese lady). Xbox version is fine, no real problems warranting any complaining on the technical side. Think I might actually like using the xbox controller better for it, but that really goes down to preference. Disc switching is really a non-factor. gotta do it twice, and unlike in the fucking annoying piece of cunt shit that is Star Ocean 4, you don't have to do it multiple times in one fucking area (I'm looking at you... planet Roak). That was especially annoying when gathering crafting shit... since you'd end up switching discs AT LEAST 10 times to get the shit from the different planets. Not to mention most of the disc space was probably wasted on the fucking terrible voice acting which really should have never been included. I did start playing the PS3 version of the game since it was released last month. Haven't gotten far but the option for the Japanese voice track is fucking WONDERFUL. Haven't spent much time with the game yet though as my interest level after my experience with the game prior is REAL LOW.
Oh yeah, I was talking about ff13, wasn't I... decent game. Not great, not horrible. Just kinda in the middle.
The lack of side shit outside of monsterhunting is still irking at me. That and the shear tedium that is the first half of the game... still don't understand how someone went through that and said "Yeah, this is definitely ready for release and exactly what people want". I wonder if they were just afraid to speak up when taking into account how much money was poured into the game at that point? Who knows.
