Well after playing it for maybe 3 hours worth of time lastnight and this morning here are my thoughts. GRAPHICS: It's what I expect for a Final Fantasy game, espically something of a prequel to FF7. The opening Cinematography was great! I'm gonna show this off to a friend at work cause he's never seen FF before. The ingame graphics are sharp like you were watching a condesned screen version of Kingdom Hearts only I think just a tad bit improved. I haven't encountered anything choppy or whatnot just yet. MUSIC: A mix of the original and some new scores that are hard rock/metal esque. The only complaint I have is that the new scores tend to get really annoying and LOUD during combat. CONTROLS: Simple to use sort of...though I'll say I perfer turn based rather than some sort of a mix turnbase/realtime combat. You dodge with the Square, Block with the Triangle, and Attack on the X, however timing is critical, this is NOT a button masher game like Devil May Cry. Using the L and R buttons you can cycle thru your inventory and materia which will be helpful. You can use the analog stick or the directional pad to move Zack around. GAMEPLAY: Simple thus far, nothing really complex has arrived just yet. The use of the DMW is nothing more than a slot machine which spouts off crap left and right and not much of what's really important, level breaks and level ups. I've played 3 hours, started at lvl 6 and I'm only at lvl 9....normally this far into the game I should be in the teens or early 20's....but because of this I think Enix dumbed down the combat just a bit to make it easier to fight. However the longer you fight and the more difficult things get, the more likely hood your DMW will give you a level up at some point. Also to help improve your combat abilities and level up ect, they present missions which you can access in your save point at what looks like any given time. These missions will help you collect items and possibly level up your stats and such....as I've said, started at 6, now at 9....only leveled up twice during normal combat and once during missions. If you die during a mission no worries it's not a game over. VOICEACTING: Again, what I expected for a FF game...I don't have any complaints. Though I think at times Zacks voice gets a lil out of key in how he speaks out his expressions, sometimes a cool settle "Huh?" turns out to be a nerv racking "WHAT?!" OVERALL: I've still got A LONG WAY until I'm done with this game....I'd say I only played an eighth of it thus far. I'm only at the point where you go into Angeals hometown and come in contact with Genesis....that's it. Now I gotta get ready for work I'd say, totally get the game if you enjoy FF, be it the franchise or 7...but I think this is a good game thus far.

Yeah....when the hell did this happen?

I picked up Crisis Core just now....so....yeeaaaahhhh, I'm deciding if I wanna play it now or in the morning cause I got other stuff to do....hmmmm.

I wanna know where the hell they come up with "Season 1 box set" for 13 episodes, is it cause 13 is a rounded off number of the 26 episodes? I mean k'mon......why not just say "Aquarion Part 1: Contains episodes 1-13"

You been under a rock the last few years?

You would be correct sir! Seji Mizushima directed FMA, Slayers Next, and Shaman King.

0_o......I just filled the cup again.....dude I wish I could do stuff like that XD

Overflag, and Tieren are the only ones on that list I'd probably consider.

0_o wtf....that was weird....

I'm trying to watch the 3 seasons out so far, and I'm gonna record the specials next week since I'll be at work. And I just saw razor and liked it.

Wasn't too hip on the Sci/fi mini series, and the movie was just too long for my tastes...so meh....

Anyone read or seen the Terminator Infinity comic mini series? It's like a 4th alternate timeline only based after 3.

said it once, and I'll say it again, the moment we get powered suit mecha in the real world is the day I'll enlist in that military branch.

That's why I couldn't get into it

I rented it, only watched the first maybe 45 minutes of it....it's okay...not a buy at all though honestly.

No, that's not true at all. There are far worse theards out there than this one....like "LETS REMAKE MACROSS!" esque type threads, those are the worse. That and close second "WHO LIKES MACROSS 7!?"

I call Shinanigans on that. It doesn't make a lick of sense at all when the last few episodes show he is John Conner...so that's gotta be a joke.

Huh? where did you get that information from?

Not much to really report...alot of ppl have asked for extensions for personal, work, or family issues. So they got until next month before I get miffed off.

Huh? you couldn't tell how old it was by the horrible color bleeding and audio quality and old fashion by hand paint of cels? They pretty much stopped doing by hand coloring and such by 2000 I think.

See this was something I didn't really get about the difference of the T-800 and the T-850. In the video games the T-850 is still an endokeleton but more filled out between the gaps where servos and pistons would normally show....yet in T3, Arnie being a T-850 resembled that of a T-800 model. As for the T-888, my guess is something like the T-850 model but able to digest food maybe? Better logic system to properly understand and compensate for lack of emotions to better imitate in the near future? Why do I even bother asking when I'm explaining it myself?

It's an ok looking doll...but I hate wigs, I perfer the way the other figures have been done with sculpted hair...but hey, that's just me.

....k all joking aside, this isn't locked cause why?

Exactly, it is what it is, take it or leave it, just like what I think with the rest of the franchise. Can't wait for the day when people start making threads about remaking Macross Frontier 10 years from now.
