FFX = one of the most linear JRPG's in history

FFXII = one of the most open JRPG's in history.

Which game was better?

It's all a design choice.

I'm just below halfway in to my import copy of FFXIII, the first parts of the game are very linear. The part I am on now I've been exploring this freaking huge open field area and mountain range, it's mind blowing.

The planet of Cocoons environments = FFX
The planet of P...

According to Yamauchi the game is finished and there just adding extras and debugging for now.

From those screens Forza 3 has better textures but GT5 has better car models. However both games will probably get bland and boring after the first 2 days.

Amazing! The size of that place is epic. Look at the monsters! The colors and draw distance are both insane.

Halo sucks.

I grew up playing the game 3D Dot Game Heroes is based on...the old Zelda games such as links awakening.

3D Dot Game Heroes just looks like a poor poor attempt at re-creating them. Adding a poor visual style to it as well. (+ if you read the latest interview with the devs they said it's built using multiplatform tools and they would be willing to bring it to the 360)

No wonder the game EPIC bombed in Japan. I mean 10-12k YTD RPG sales in Japa...

3D dot game heroes is a game designed for 3 year olds (5 maximum).

No wonder you love it so much LOL!

Even the majority of Japanese gamers know that Famitsu have little to zero credibility..

I wonder if there will be score differences between the PS3 and 360 versions from Western reviews?

I see some selectively chosen LO bullshots and many low-res screens from the FFXIII demo...

Wait until the actual game is released.

Two of my JRPG nut friends who imported were really disappointed with this game.... I'm not really sure why but I guess time will tell when I buy this on release!

One thing which does sadden me GREATLY is the lack of dual audio. The dub is horrid and theres no lip synching. :(

Looks amazing!

I hope the game helps sell 100k PS3's!

Then it might beat the Wii in Japan.

For me...

FFVII = 40-45 hours

FFIX = 35 hours

FFX = 30-35 hours

FFXII = 60-65 hours

I forgot how long VI and VIII took me.

This is from the developers own mouth so it's probably true. However assuming it was PR then the actual story is probably 40-45 hours.

A game which is too short can leave you unsatisfied...but if it's too long then it can feel stretched out and it can affect the plot...

Biggest game launch in Japan since the PS3 first launched. I bet Sony is funding most of the advertisement. :p

If you have been up to date with the developer interviews ever since the demo released they always mentioned how load times and would be nearly non existent for the final release.

This seems to confirm it and how the PS3 version will be superior. No mandatory or optional install is great news.

They have already stated several times now the 360 version will be compressed. Things like 1080p CGI and 5.1 Linear PCM lossless audio will be the first things to go. After...
