Im at chapter 9 now, and im about 25 hours in

I'm at the start of chapter 9 at about 23 hours in. 

prepare for a pain in the ass boss fight at the end of ch 9

[icysk8r]

I'm gonna play it this weekend, since I save 1 player games for on the weekends at my dad's with no internet.  although I did try it out, and it seems pretty good.

My wife got sad and wanted to get a PS3 and FFXIII for me when she saw me staring at it from outside a glass case while we were shopping.  Unfortunately, we both know we can't afford it.

[ariich]

Man...work has made me fall WAY behind some of you guys and I got it on the day it came out.

I should quit

Quit work or FF XIII?

I thought that xii was coming out for xbox as well?  (even though ps3 is 10 x better)

It is out for Xbox too. And I'm pretty sure in every category other than graphics the Xbox blows the PS3 out of the water.

By the way, HOW THE HELL DO YOU BEAT THAT AIRSHIP BOSS IN CHAPTER 7?

attack the other parts of the ship first. Turrets and then the sides. Destroying each of them does a lot of damage to the main ship.

[AcidLameLTE]

Ah, I didn't know there's different parts to it

Yeah, it is out on 360, but I am interested in the PS3 more than the 360 to begin with.  FFXIII Versus is a big game for me, too, and that doesn't look like it'll make it to the 360, so why bother considering the 360 version of FFXIII?

I meant comparing the consoles in general. If you have a PS3 I would definitely get it for that just for the better graphics. Everything else about the game should be the same.

[AcidLameLTE]

I just finished chapter 8 and all I can say is:

WHAT. THE. FUCK?!

I DID NOT SEE THAT HAPPENING.

  That was my reaction too.

[AcidLameLTE]

Just been playing chapter 9. That was a relief!

[glaurung]

I haven't played anymore today. So I'm still at the start of chapter 9.

[AcidLameLTE]

I haven't got very far in chapter 9. I've pretty much been playing it non-stop since I got home from work (except to eat and post here )

[Elsydeon]

just starting chapter ten now 

[glaurung]

Damn, I'm falling behind everyone now. I guess I need to have another 10 hour play session. 

[AcidLameLTE]

Don't worry, you'll catch up to me while I'm at work during the week >_>

Oh, I was mostly quoting you since you had already given part of the answer.  Regardless of the differences in the FFXIII versions, though, I am interested in the PS3 much more than the 360.  I'm not going to go buy a 360 just to be able to get FFXIII sooner.

[AcidLameLTE]

Just finished chapter 9.
























The boss at the end was NAILS

[Ultimetalhead]

WITHOUT ANY SPOILERS, can someone tell me if the story gets really good?

[glaurung]

Yes. But I thought it started out good in the first place.

[AcidLameLTE]

Agreed. It started out good but then, later on, it gets much better.

Started chapter 11 now.

[orcus116]

While I'm not playing it I must admit the art direction of the game is outstanding. The frozen Brechan Lake is downright beautiful.

@ people that are playing it: is the linearity thing an issue at all?  That is, are all the areas more or less completely linear, and does the lack of exploration negatively impact the game?

It's pretty different from past Final Fantasies. But I don't think it takes away from the game at all.

[ariich]

Goddamn I need to get this game. And also something to play it on.

[AcidLameLTE]

Done all the low level side missions now

[AcidLameLTE]

Vanille's summon was FUCKING NAILS.

[Perpetual Change]

I'm about an hour in. So far, so good.

[cthrubuoy]

Just starting chapter 9, 18 hours in. I'm behind because I have a job AND a girlfriend

[soundgarden]

In Chapter 3:

Thoughts so far

1) I can't stand Vanille

That is all.

[glaurung]

I just don't like her voice acting.

[AcidLameLTE]

I'm seriously not seeing the problem with her voice.

It was a little weird to begin with when she didn't say much, right enough.
