Any idea what the difference is between the Japanese regular edition and the Asian regular edition? Are there any websites I can purchase the Japanese regular edition for a reasonable price? |

And given that the title's almost a season old, you have to wonder why do they still have the first print in stocks when the publisher had pushed out the 2nd and perhaps even the 3rd batch of prints. Finally, I have shown proof that I have purchased the game. And having played it, I believe I have the rights to say that if one keeps their expectation low, he might enjoyed for that is exactly what I've done. Quote:
As to the quotation of resonable prices for the title's Japanese domestical release, the game is retailing around 9000+ yen. So you can do a currency exchange rate to see if the online retailer is charging reasonably. For me I will recommend HMV Online Japan |

1. You are not stating the popular opinion. You merely reiterating the opinion of a very vocal group of Japanese critics, while others have enjoyed the game rather that argue with those people. If your version of the popular opinion was correct, then what is this? http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/227/227461/ Dengeki's readers voted FFXIII as their second greatest game. Obviously we have many people who have decided to not agree with you. 2. Why is it strange for an online importer to have extra first press issues lying around? Playasia misjudged their demand. They're not even a first party retailer for that matter. It's not unusual at all for things to have stock lying around here and there no matter how popular something is. 3. I don't give a rats ass if you've purchased the game and played. You had the rights to say what you felt about the game. You did do that ten or so pages back? What you don't have the right to do is poop on everyone's parade. We get your point, you didn't think the game was all that great, you don't need to go around preaching it like you're some kind of evangelist. Moreover, why are you here if you didn't like it in the first place? Leave people like me, who have enjoyed the game, and the other people, who are looking forward to the game, alone. Stop ruining it for everyone else.

Hmmm, I ended up buying it for 94.99 on YesAsia.com.
The shipping was free and the game itself was ~5 USD cheaper than the other websites. It didn't specify that it was the first print edition like the other sites though, so I guess that means I'll probably end up getting the normal edition? Anyone order from YesAsia recently and end up with first print? ;O |

Anyone know if Chinese PS3 games are compatible with US PS3's? I heard they're actually putting out an official Chinese version this time, possibly with Chinese subs/menu/text + Japanese audio. If that's the case I definitely want to get that version.

I'm surprised on how cheap the pricing is for the 360 version of the game, especially considering it's 3 discs. I think I might order this now because I'm a little worried it might be a pricing error and that I'll miss out on savings if they fix it later. |

Actually, Amazon.ca has it on sale. Usually, 60 US games translates to 70 CAN, but Amazon.ca has it on 10 bucks off (highlighted with the price slashed off during search), so we getting it at US price.
Compare with, say, Videogamesplus, of which has the expected price. So yes, for canadians, its a good deal considering you can get it for free shipping, which for me is usually next day shipping despite what the label says.

Now, in a related news, here is the reason straight from SEX as to why they decide to push out the Chinese translation :- Quote:
There you have it. A show of confidence from SEX that the PS3 is indeed the final impregnable bastion in the sea of Piracy, especially that the region of Taiwan, Hong Kong and China isn't exactly well known for their IP Protection. But somehow the 360 crowds from the afore mention places, who absolutly refuse to adopt a PS3 for whatever reasons, see this as SEX giving them the finger.

The story continues forever with expansions. Even if someone beats the final mission boss, I doubt they would feel like they have beaten the game. Nation missions - > Zilart missions -> Cop missions -> etc, they don't even feel like the main part of the game. I played it for over 2 years and did pretty much everything in the game and yet I've never felt like I was anywhere close to beating that game.

Firstly, my take on FF13.
Plot: The plot was less of an adventure than a drama - and a well-executed one at that. I thought it looked better than Avatar. Then again, I watched the 2D version, so that's another story. Many people thought that Lighting's constant pining over Serah is a turn off. I thought it was a turn on, until I realised we weren't getting any sis-incest. [Gosh, a counsellor saying that has problems - but the students in my school can be frequently heard complaining, after they imported FF13 from Japan to Singapore - only to find out that FF isn't going to push that - yet] Score: 9/10 Characterisation: Strong, as expected. Seems that Nomura finally woke up and risen back to his FF7 levels. *sigh of relief* Fang and Vanille were the relative letdowns here because I wanted yuri (Another major complaint amongst students here.) Score: 9/10 Play: It's a FF game. Need I say more? Score: 10/10 Graphics: Everything looks good on Bluray. Yes, this is the PS3 version. Score: 10/10 Others: Lightning is hot. +1. Total: 39/40. Yes, it was worth the money, and it's what I've come to expect from SQEX. After FF7, which is the landmark FF game till now, I thought that all the games had a good base, but characterisation was screwed up. (THANKS NOMURA). FF8: Weak, weak, weak... FF9: Not to my taste; the screenshots with random sayings like Love; ... you know those, made it worse. FF10: I thought I was watching a Korean love drama. Fail. FF10-2: I thought this was some Taiwan idol drama. Big Fail. FF12: It got better, but this wasn't FF7 levels yet. So yes, FF13 is placing FF back where it should be, and I have no doubt that FFvs13 is going to do equally well. Quote:

It's the same in Singapore. Quote:
The difference: money. The students here have money, which the local and Japanese-in-Japan gamers don't have. But that makes it more difficult to control the problem... |

Elaborate on the gameplay though. FF gameplay ranges from terribad to surprisingly awesome. |
