The Gamespot reviewers got their hands on Final Fantasy XIII first hand on PS3 and XBox 360. It is noted that it is extremely hard to tell both versions' graphics apart. This is a soothing news for me since I was afraid that FFXIII on XBox 360 will be as bad as I heard in rumours, as I really anticipate this game very much.

Aww... I hoped for a demo... It ain't gonna be a demo right?

Well graphics hasn't been much of a trouble at all. It's been told over and over that they got almost the same graphics.

Unfortunately, Square Enix has no plans to release a demo for it. Since the game is so near to the release date, why bother for a demo? Can't wait for the game... My hands are itching to play it. :lol:

yeah, can't wait for ff13 & ff13 versus

Its rare for RPG's to have a demo as they dont want to spoil any of the story before release so i highly doubt there will be one.

 

[aka958]

Yeah your right, but they had a demo for XII and Dissidia, i think.

@chaos master: Your hands are not the only ones itching to play that game, i manage to control them by playing some other FF games.

:lol: Same here. I have been playing FFVII, FFVIII, and FFX lately to control myself. :lol:

Oh yeah, if you like FFXIII soundtrack, you can go to the link (AGM2) at my signature below and 'grab' it. For free, of course.

 

[aka958]

Is that really legal to take a soundtrack from a game for free?
And i dunno if i like the soundtrack, haven't heard it...

Also i've been playing FFI, DFF, FFX, FFXII, FFII, FFVII and FFVIII just to control myslef until it releases.

Soon... SOON IT IS HERE! Can't wait!

It is legal if you don't tell anyone. :lol: But the soundtrack is a masterpiece, in my opinion. FFXIII soundtrack is my favourite soundtracks along FFX, FFVIII, and FFVII compilation soundtracks.

Yeah. Just 9 days more!

So is it legal or not? Your confuzzling me!

Well, downloading is not legal of course. But I have uploaded the soundtrack to Mediafire, which is a file-sharing site, so it made the downloading become kinda 'legal'. It is hard to explain and I don't understand about it much, but perhaps someone else can explain better. There are two tracks made me get the soundtrack:

Prelude to FINAL FANTASY XIII (Intro Theme)

Blinded By Light (Battle Theme)

I am enjoying this soundtrack very much. When it comes to Malaysia, I am gonna buy it.

Then i guess it is neutral as long as you follow the copyright kinda thing then?

I think i'll wait with downloading something like that yet. I want the game music to come as a suprise!

Correct. Good point, I think you should download it until the game comes out.

 

[aka958]

I knew i was smart when i said that! Gotta be happy

Check this out. A FFXIII XBox 360 bundle will be released on March 9th too. For 400 US dollars with a 250 GB hard drive, this is a good deal.:O

[aka958]

Are you sure it is?

 

[Chaos Raiden]

Are you sure it is?

Beats me. I don't live at U.S., so I don't know.:lol: But if is true, a lot of people gonna buy it.

 

[aka958]

I think so to, but the bundle... I don't have a clue if it is worth it or not.

 

[Dark Drakan]

The bundle is also coming to the UK.

Square Enix has just confirmed plans to release two 360 hardware bundles over here, as previously suggested for the US.

The Special Edition Bundle packs the game with a 250GB FFXIII-engraved console (yes!), two controllers and a bunch of exclusive avatar downloadables (1 x Rosch Outfit, 1 x Nabaat Outfit and a Chocobo pet for your Avatar).

A second bundle, the Elite bundle, contains the game and standard 120GB console with a single controller.
