I'm holding off to buy it until I've tried it on a rental. I've heard a lot of changes made and how similar it is to FF10 (which I didn't like much). I'm a fan of FF7/8 and FFTactics. FF9 was ok but I missed materia.

I'm planning on getting a PS3 and FF13 eventually, since I don't want the Xbox 360 version... also, if they ever port it to Windows PC, I might consider that instead... =/

No

I have seen just about everything there is to FFXIII and I have no means to play it.

Sure I was a huge FF fan back in the day. But now? I will wait until it's cheap.

This.

I doubt I'd play it unless they released it for PC or I emulate the PS3/X360.

With me it's a hit & miss, I won't buy it unless it's used & we're talkin' about $32.99 at Gamestop used. I haven't touched a FF game since the Ps1 days which were bad ass. And I did almost finish part 10 for Ps2 when a friend lent it to me, the other games didn't catch my attention...

Even if I had a system to play it on, I've never been able to get into Final Fantasy games. And second, after hearing all the stuff about how FF13 works and doesn't follow traditional rules of RPGs, I'm not sure I'd want to play it regardless.

I reserved it at Best Buy and I was going to ride my bike over there tomorrow after work, but my hubby said that he would get it at Wal-Mart since they are 24 hours. So now I don't have to ride my bike after work tomorrow to get it.

Too bad I can't play it until around 3pm tomorrow.

*looks at thread responses*

*looks at poll*

I think the last two people who posted didn't vote.

No PS3 or 360 for me, so...

After hearing that there are no towns in this game, it basically sealed the deal that I'm probably not going to play it.

I didn't vote because I didn't reserve this a long time ago and there was no need to drive around looking for it.

D: My choice of "I don't know" isn't there. I loved 12. The issue is, it looks as if 13 is essentially looking at all the innovations 12 did.... and then running off screaming in another direction in fear of the -new-. I don't want Tetsuya Nomura in my FF, thank you.

I think my money is gonna be spent on Yakuza 3, and I'll wait for the price to drop.

If it was not for the fact that I lack a 360 or an PS3 I won't get this.

Plus, even if I did would just wait a while, it's not THAT important to me with a new FF. (Plus, FFTA2 is still holding me in a iron grip )

I dunno, from what I've heard I just don't want to play this one. Let's move AWAY from not being able to control our party members, okay?

I still play Final Fantasy games, just XII was a massive disappointment and XIII looks like more of the same.

I'm little under two hours into it and I'm enjoying it so far.

I'm too cheap to buy anything new, but I know my brother will be picking it up.

I'll eventually bum it off of him, for a while.


I guess that counts as a rental for the poll.

I might get a used copy down the road. The only final fantasy games I enjoyed were 6 and 7, but from following the trailers for this thing, the story looks so ridiculous that it might be amazing.

for those who already playing, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the gameplay. the last game of the series I played was FF8, so these comparisons to FFX or FFXII don't mean anything to me.

I'm approximately 5 1/2 hours in, and so far it's pretty awesome. (Also I had to drive around to get it so I'll add the first yes-vote to the very unbalanced poll )

For the battle system, although you only control the leader character, I, who absolutely hated XII's, love this one. The whole Paradigm thing lets you pretty much make the AI do whatever you want it to do without gambits or having to pause to enter commands - which you can't do anyway. The combat is very fast-paced, compared to XII's weird MMO-esque-pace, it's been fun so far, and I haven't even unlocked many abilities yet.
