I am enjoying Final Fantasy XIII. This irks me greatly.

It should

Lucky you, I've tried on three separate occasions to like it and have failed. I must have put in 50+ hours just trying to enjoy it, and came our still hating it.

It's the only Final Fantasy game that I dislike.

[nakamura]

No idea why. I think I am over Nomura and Square killing the series now. It's a solid game and Hope aside, the characters are ok. It's not a very good game, especially after the mastery of XII, but I am getting some pleasure from it.

I kinda liked XIII until Gran Pulse and then the game stopped holding my hand and I felt lost.

[nakamura]

Go away.

[speedlolita]

I'm not even joking, which is the sad part. I'd really like to go back and play it to the end though.

Apart from it looking pretty, it's a **** game & worst of any of the FF games i have played. Unless you take time to grind the **** out of your characters for endless hours of boring bland battles the later parts become next to impossible. Making new items is impossible without a guide as there's no way you'd be able to guess what items are made when synthasizing, so you spend loads of hard earned materials making random things so you can forget making armour that you might need. Was the first new one i had played since X & i was massively dissapointed, thanks to IIX i'll never touch another new FF again.

I'd use your time playing other better games to be honest.

[nakamura]

Well I am enjoying it so will stick at it. It's not a bad game but it isn't a.good one either.

[importaku]

Well if you are enjoying it thats all that matters really.

[speedlolita]

Well if you are enjoying it thats all that matters really.

Exactly.

[nakamura]

It's not a very good game though, don't get me wrong. I want to stick with it again to Pulse. Last time I was on 360.

(needed some more Christmas tree lights)
Me: "Whatever you do, don't buy cheap lights"
later: "Got these from Tesco for ?12. Says 10m long"

We open the box. 3m of lights. 7m of cable. FFS. Don't buy cheap lights.

Ouch.

Canada Post. The new SRW game was EMS'd by my friend in Japan on the 3rd. It was out for delivery yesterday. Then went back to the sorting office. No explanation. I've got the number of the supervisor from one of my ladies at the local PO (who I give chocolates to every Christmas) so if it doesn't go back out today I have to call him directly.
