Final Fantasy XIII

And if you say generic, then every video game char is generic.

Ehe, no.
From the character designs, this seems like the basic template that Enix has been using since VII.
I haven't played it yet, but the characters all seem to fit the stock personalities so far.

They aren't generic. If you haven't seen the whole game, then you shouldn't be talking. This FF actually brings it's chars together, unlike the other ones. They aren't generic at all. And if you say generic, then every video game char is generic.

Again I played the game. They're the damn reason why I am saying they're generic and rehashes of old characters.

And I whole heartly  concurr with fruckfert 99.97%.

Close to the 4th chapter and I am bored again already. All I've been doing is hold the control stick up and press A while I eat my sammich.

Also, I had read and heard vanille was annoying in English as well. BUT MAN! Her English voice is more annoying than her Japanese one. She's perky AND annoying.

This has been true of at least one character in every RPG ever since they started giving them voices. Rikku, especially in FFX-2, looking at you...

Game is way easy. Only thing I am having difficult with right now is that damn Naochu or wahtever is called in one of the Titan's quests. I been doing some missions before heading to chapter 12 ( I want to get the growth egg) so i can max out my stats when i clear chapter 12. Right now I have the three main ones for each character maxed out, with Lightning's and Fang's weapons maxed 2nd tier. (including the ones you get after beating ch. 11's boss which btw was a push over).

Also i got to give props to the game on something. THE CHOCOBO THING IS FUN XD I just love the music for when you're on it; so jazzy and happy. I hadn't had the chance to get it on the Japanese version cuz I didn't understand much of the mission's objectives, but man.. I can't get that damn achievement though.

Anyway, i am writing a review when I finish the game and get some more achievements. So far though it's still the same experience; weird wash down story, annoying characters, linear gamelpay, LINEAR WALLS, save spot in every corner. And waay too easy. Xept for Naochu.

YOu passed me?! YOU GO SOMEWHERE! NOW! ;.;

I got it shortly after it came out, but ahahaa. . . . I've had no time, and when I do, I'm too out of it to think straight.
It's good so far, but I dunno. The camera angles are weirding me out.

XD I am still on chapter 11. So move your butt, cuz I am waiting How far in ch 11 are you, or how far ahve you gotten before you realized that you needed to get stronger?

Yeah at times it bothers me too. Specially when I try to sneak up on enemies; doesn't always let me see them.

It doesn't help that on my older TV, half the menus are near impossible to read. Stupid new systems, built for televisions younger than 15 years *shakes fist*

Oh! That's another one.  BIG pet peeve. God good very good observation Phayre.

My TV is less than 10 years old and I still can't read a thing on ANY game I play on my 360

I went into a hidden mine to train cuz I'm sure the water Fal'Cei will whip my ***. D:

[Phayre]

The joke there is that my TV is freaking ancient. Actually might be older than I am, now that I think about it. It's at least 15 years old, but we got it used back then XD
But yeah, I'm having the same problem with all the games for my PS3. It's fine to /look/ better on a nice new TV, but to be nearly unplayable? That fails hard.

Who's that? What water fal'cie? What? I might've not payed attention, but I only remember going to the tower after the mine, and then fighting something you encounter around there.
