I agree with your statement. Most retailers play it by ear anyways and give a release date to get preorders. Since March was a confirmed date for Japan release some retailers are thinking they might get it in March as well. Until Sony themselves suggests the date, then they are rumors and should be treated as such.

FYI... a game is not delayed unless Sony set a firm release date and then pushed it back and if you read the playstation blog they normally will tell you if they are...

Anorexorcist actually that would be 10 times 20 equals 200. hyphen is the minus symbol "-". 10 x 20 = 200

Anyways couldn't help but laugh at how many times people corrected but got something wrong themselves.. Thanks for the laughs.. :)

Edit: On cue with the article though I do believe that this will sell systems but I think the other games will help justify as no 1 game is worth $300 system to play it although I'm sure there are opinions that would di...

I totally could not remember who published King's Field but I totally kept rocking that game all the time because the rewards were always good for the effort but yes it was a plod :)... now it makes much more sense that King's Field was published by From Software... that in turn makes me like this game that much more and must be why I felt right at home with this game.. They really did a good job with what the Playstation had and giving you a really good RPG.

Thanks for clarify...

If anyone remembers playing that it has a similar feel to the game, except it's third person view with much more options but overall the penalties and the what's around this corner and how do I survive this is all there. The multi-class system is there. On top of that it also has a ICO/SotC feel to it with the worlds and their ambiance.

A very fun game and I hope that noone misses out due to the Death penalties as they are minor compared to the fun of battles, just don't be li...

:( So True and I lost all of my souls.. I might of well just spent the money I was going to spend on those items at the merchant but i got careless and the game made me pay, but thats ok I'm absolutely enjoying it.. or will be when i get off of work today.

If you are a reviewer giving a fair and just review you wouldn't have to respond to the critics of your article.

All reviews are up for debate but I really feel it's justification without giving factual reasons

I have no problem with an 8 for the game because it is his opinion but be a reviewer of the game and don't try to get more hits for your site by keeping the flame afloat by writing another article to defend your stance. A weak one at that. (didn't click on...

actually it is an issue. I am not getting that there is a new message in the icon list even though I had gotten a new message next to the my friend in the friends list. I have not sent to Sony yet as I've been busy and it's not that important but it was a feature I was looking forward to working :)

Question drdre74 were you checking from a game or when you first logged in. Mine happened to be from F@H and I don't know if that might be the cause.. I really haven't gotten a new m...

I've been excited about this game since the teaser trailer from E3 a couple years back. This game looks to be gearing up to be a really good game. I hope they keep a good story throughout the game, as this proves they do have some creativity. It had me chuckling here at work. good times :)

This is one of the first reviews that I have read from a non-major published site that actually adds the other elements of combat besides just attack and counter. There are 2 very important moves that are a necessity later in the game that have to be used to be very successful and that is dodge and stun.

These moves are not mentioned by non-major game websites and it's refreshing to see someone actually played the game and realized that you need these combat moves in order to m...

"Outlets in the US are quickly running out of stock; the PS3 Slim is selling so fast that some people won't be getting one on September 1st. First shipments of the console are quickly running dry. "

...It's September 3rd and we are just now getting to an article about something in the past of September 1st. As in this article was written before September 1st.

Take that for what it is worth. :D

Edit: First post was 21 hours ago(at the tim...

I wouldn't say the first major JRPG as there has been others. Unless you don't count Disgaea 3 as a JRPG :)

Yes technically a S-JRPG but still one I thoroughly enjoyed and still enjoy

When I switched out to my 500 gb HDD, I ran a full back up and when I restored I expected to have to go through downloading the games but they copied over. I was impressed because I remember one time where it didn't even get all the game saved data. They must have updated the backup feature with some firmware updates.

Granted the backup and restore time was a long time but at least there was nothing else to do but reactive my PS3 to play the downloaded games and movies I have....

I'm not naive enough to think that was a great quality scan but just saying in general. I don't expect it to be FFXIII graphics. If it is I will be pleasantly surprised :D which in turn would be a "yay us" for the ones actually interested in this game like me.

5792d ago 1 agree1 disagreeView comment

the screen grabs from actual gameplay then. I'm not judging on scans from a magazine like that. I will most likely enjoy this game and give countless hours to this game.

Personally as long as it's something different and I can enjoy myself I can care less if it still looks like FFXI :).

Looking at the same screenshots??

The graininess of the shots are what I would expect from an MMO where they are trying to keep FPS up and network latency down.

Reason in FFXI a lot of the people that were in the market didn't actually have there character displaying unless they were next to you.

5792d ago 1 agree5 disagreeView comment

but wouldn't really call them quite in-game yet. Majority of them are landscape shots which I will enjoy when running around the world but it didn't show the interface that I will be using or any action shots of the battles.

Hopefully as it gets closer to launch we will get that type of information.

The more I see on this game the more I will think I will enjoy it. As long as I can play a blm/whm/rdm class I will be happy, hope to see you at launch of this game next year ;)

Of course like in FFXI I will play every single class because will I'm a sadist in that department.

EDIT: I hope they have the abiility for good macros of switching equipment, because it looks like that is going to be necessary like in FFXI, but on a larger scale(?).

There will still have to be a "level system" or there wouldn't be the ability to determine how much that "growth" has been, but I'm willing to try it out regardless. I moved to FFXI from EQOA and EQOA:Frontiers to have something different. Let's hope they do succeed with this different style of dynamics and we see growth in the MMORPG realm. Although I still like my level grinding session once in awhile :D

Unless you specifically like getting broken away form the story for several days. I would not actually recommend it. It doesn't have the flow of GTA, MGS, or UC for story. Although it is a good sandbox of an RPG, FFXIII is most likely to keep you in the story more than with a MMORPG. Unless you have fun playing your buddies online as I do.

If anything like FFXI there will be a solid storyline that is happening while you are in the world of that game. It just depends on how the mechanics are how much of it you follow and how many side missions you do for your characters own growth. I enjoyed all the Bastok missions and how the war was going and meeting Cid. It was really fun. Not only could you play with your Friends you definitely met alot of other great people.

Although there is always your grievers of any onlin...
