At the time I was utterly gobsmacked by its visuals on PS3, but all its talk of Fal'cie and L'cie etc made me lose all track of the plot and just keep pushing on to see the next setpiece. So good luck, but as Penny Arcade would say, you ought to put in at least 30-40 hours and try to get past the tutorial!Ollienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068112306642079190.post-22583319367506017282023-01-26T07:38:24.571+00:002023-01-26T07:38:24.571+00:00It's good to hear consoles have finally starte...It's good to hear consoles have finally started to include anti-cutscene features for excessively long sequences.<br /><br />Also all this talk of being stuck on long and narrow paths reminds me that I still need to try Final Fantasy XIII at some point.Ray Hardgrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436491500347661133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068112306642079190.post-66809044018921059502023-01-25T22:33:36.984+00:002023-01-25T22:33:36.984+00:00I bought this for the Switch and plugged it in to ...I bought this for the Switch and plugged it in to my dad's TV to show him some FF history. Halfway through the opening cutscene, everything went dark. What is this, some crummy bug in the remaster or port? Eventually though, I figured it out: the Switch was just dimming the screen due to inactivity because the opening cutscene is LIKE 20 MINUTES LONG before you get to any interaction at all.<br />I'll also say this: in the 2000s FF12 was exciting because it gave us a taste of freedom in the decade of GTA. It was boring as hell though. These days everything about FFX is so much better: the colour, the world, the characters, the combat... A long and narrow pilgrimage story trumps running around doing busywork in open areas, any day of the week.

I even liked the combat system but I do admit it feels a bit disconnected. The final boss is rubbish though.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068112306642079190.post-23788239852926820442013-12-29T00:38:10.314+00:002013-12-29T00:38:10.314+00:00That's actually a ROGUE tomato-headed midget, ...That's actually a ROGUE tomato-headed midget, please don't attempt to diminish my epic struggle against this fearsome foe.
