The Music.

So yesterday I finished the stupid bullshit project at 8PM. By the time I took a shower, ate dinner, and finished all my other homework, I was really tired. I wasn't able to play FFXIII. ;__;

But... I did convince my mom to let me leave school early today! Which means I will definitely have time to play it today.

I'm gonna be honest, though. I'm a bit worried by all the reviews and such I've been hearing about it. EDGE magazine, who I respect a great deal, gave the game a 5/10. To be fair, they do give pretty harsh scores, and they also gave FFX a 6 (and I totally disagree with). But most of the time, they are right on the money.

Also, I've seen DigitalFoundry's FFXIII PS3 vs 360 camparion gallery. Jesus, I was left speechless. Look at those disgusting textures on the 360 version. Lack of lighting, too. But hey, I'll be playing the game on a 21.5" monitor, so it probably won't look that bad. Still, Square did an awful, awful job with the port.

Anyway, I'll put up my impressions later on this afternoon, so look forward to it! (This time for sure!)

As far as music goes, I was left extremely happy yesterday when I heard that "school food punishment", my favorite Japanese band, will be releasing a new single in 5 days! Not only that, but they will be releasing their first full scale album on April 14th. I really can't wait for it, they are an amazing band.

;_; I don't get to play FFXIII until next Friday.
Also, omg I love that song.
 
Go troll elsewhere and leave this place for the people who actually want to partake in the discussion.
 
No, I actually envy your ability to play Final Fantasy XIII.

That first line was a satire of people being upset with your embedding of YouTube videos.
 
Honestly, I barely see a difference in those screenshot comparisons at all. I only noticed that a few images had different sharpness and lighting, but that was it. If you're really worried about reviews, graphics, etc., then don't play it. Another thing, that magazine probably gave it a low score because Final Fantasy has been getting more and more repetitive (Or at least I think it is) to the point where no one but extreme fans even care about the series anymore. It's also become a lot more strange in a way.

Seriously, it's just another game. I mean, sure, some games get a ton of hype, and some don't. I'm not sure if you've ever done this before, but I know people that are about to have an orgasm if they don't get to play this game soon, but yet they hate the fact that MW2 got a lot of hype as well.
 
Like I said, I probably won't even notice the bad textures on such a small screen. And even if I could notice them, that wouldn't take away from my enjoyment. It's just that FFXIII has a lot of expectations to live up to, and it's been in the making for what, 4.5 years? It seems a bit inexcusable, but then again, the 360 version wasn't planned from the beginning.
 
it looked pretty bad on a friends 26", some of the videos you could see blocks and it was pretty blurry.
 
Capsule is epic. Good job.
They broke street date at the local game store, so a few of my friends have it. I'm not into FF at all, so meh.
