[Multiplatform] Official Final Fantasy XIII Thread

I like how the reviewer has to prove that he has indeed played through the main story (he says this is half-way into the duration of the game) with a screen shot of the final obligatory dungeon. The game sounds it's basically the same as FFX in all aspects, with enhanced graphics.

The thing that worries me is his mentioning of music, since that's the only thing I'm interested in the game. I probably will play the game after many years, but I will grapplehook myself to the soundtrack the day it's released, maybe even buying it. This reviewer however doesn't really know anything about music, so I'm not certain what the soundtrack will be like. I'm worried about him saying "pop" music has taken over into the BGM as well. This sounds weird, and only done, because it's more possible to shoehorn worthless vocals into games nowadays, more than ever before, and Square of all companies WILL abuse this possibility to no end, especially with Final Fantasies. But it's Hamauzu, so it might actually be good, even still...

Yeah, ignoring the game itself, for now.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The soundtrack is amazing, even if the few j-pop tracks really got on my nerves. Otherwise the soundtrack is just pristine, and I can't wait to see how it works with the movie.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
