  • Looks like people didn't complain about the world map here, because basically you're moving on a checkerboard, and not realistic maps and paths. Nice guys.

  • 6:22 WTF IS THAT!?

  • Ehm the most interesting thing is the battle, kinda like acrobatic stunning move for shooting.

  • RoF reminds me of Valkyrie Profile

  • is it just me or is that a FF9 moment at the beginning*

  • is it just me or is that a FF9 moment at the beggining

  • A mediocre game in my opinion. The combat system and world map are kinda cool, but not brilliant, and pretty much everything else about the game had potential, but never really made an effort. The greater story for example made small, almost guest-appearances here and there. Too little to even spark a genuine interest. Too bad since it still had the potential..

  • @BadAlternatives RoF is not a game for everyone. They do not tell you the story outright. Each mission give you a piece of the story (not in chronological order), and you have to piece the story together. Some people dislike that and rather story be told like a bed time story. Personally I like this type of story telling, it is a refreshing change from the standard RPG storyline design.

  • So if you don't have these ruby things you can't play anymore if you die ? WTF

  • Comment removed

  • I hate these big-name reviews now. Seriously, it's as if each reviewer goes out of their way to pander to the simplest watchers. (Of course, this category makes up the majority of the viewers. Damn you, world!)

  • Ok the tutorial doesn't give full info so if anyone can explain resonance points and how u get them please send me some info to this point I still haven't pulled off a tri attack I'm up to chapter 3 right now

  • @anthony555100 Resonance points are required to do "Tri attacks" (if you don't know what they are tell me,) you get them when you cross between your two other characters when you do a hero action, if you don't do a hero action when you built up resonance points you will lose them

  • omg this game isn't even hard! you guys just fucking suck at video games!

  • @trilfy try playing the game on new game+ without your weapons and do neverland... Then you will see how hard it is

  • @KelanX yeah but most people that complain never got to new game + yet. they complain that they don't know what to do and the tutorial doesn't help them at all but when i started playing i was already good at this game then most people.

  • @trilfy cocky?

  • @KelanX i don't belive i'm that great cause i haven't gotten to new game +. and do you decide your difficulty when you start over again?

  • They are WHIPPING those presents at those kids! hah!

    Also: 6:23

  • They are WHIPPING those presents at those kids! hah!

    Also: 6:24

  • They are WHIPPING those presents at those kids! hah!

  • soooo... FFXV?

  • This game looks Awesome tastic, and 60+ hours of game story... hell yeah, I've found the 2010 sleeper and of course it was over shadowed by final fantasy... Square Soft!!!!!!!!! it's aggrivating

  • if anybody haves any problem in this game is because they sucked and they got fustrated and had some "Gamer Rage" this is a good game and the combat system is easy now and days bitches cant read directions anymore and do some like this "5:05"

  • if anybody haves any problem in this game is because they sucked and they got fustrated and had some "Gamer Rage" this is a good game and the combat system is easy now and days bitches cant read directions anymore

  • I love Resonance Of Fate omg i really hope they make a part 2 I Love This Game So Much

  • Enemies are cruel popsicles...

    Wait...wha? *le rewind*

    Enemies are cruel obstacles...

    OOOOHHHHHH

  • Wait, when I battle I just stand there a shoot the gun, how do you do the jumpy things?

  • @SmoothCriminalAaron

    (ps3)Press the Square button to use hero mode. Press the square button again to jump.

    (Xbox 360) Preww the x button to enter hero mode. Press it again to jump.

  • Resonance of Fate fans are really annoying. Please accept that your game has flaws- lots of them.

  • @yoyoyo88665 Who cares if it has flaws? This game is such a stepforward (in terms of gameplay) for the jRPG genre that you can ignore them.

  • @warmslurm The gameplay itself is chock-full of flaws. I LOVE how much content it has, and it can be fun at times, but the combat never progresses, the learning curve is unnecessarily steep with an awful tutorial, the target lock-on while in hero action is awful, the barrier system rarely works , and I won't even get into the flaws of the story and its pacing. It's a great game with many great things about it, but lots of RoF fans bash FFXIII due to its popularity and its annoying.

  • @yoyoyo88665 People bash FFXIII because it wasn't that great. I thought it was okay, but FFXIII's story was fed to you like crazy and way overdone yet the ending didn't make a lick of sense. There's no doubt that RoF's gameplay is better than FFXIII's. The first outing to something different isn't going to be perfect, but I hope Tri-Ace carries on making games like it and fixes those flaws next time (all their other games have had fantastic gameplay, though). :) They just need to work on story.

  • @warmslurm We both have our opinion. In terms of content, RoF>FFXIII. In terms of actual fun and the battle system, FFXIII>RoF, in my opinion. I love RoF's atmosphere, visuals and whatnot, so I enjoy exploring. The only time I love combat is when it's a random battle on the world map; I hate it in the dungeons. Yes, they need to work on story, big time >.> but yeah. RoF is great but just because it's not popular it doesn't mean FFXIII sucks, it's actually great, but it's not for everyone.

  • @yoyoyo88665

    What flaws? I didn't notice any flaws...

  • @bubblegirl99xoxo 1. The story is full of plot holes and is horribly paced 2. The first 7 chapters consist of filler missions 3. The targeting system is broken when in hero action mode 4. Learning curve is disturbingly steep due to a horrible tutorial 5. There is no improvement as the game goes on- the battles you experience within the first 5 minutes of the game are the same one's you'll experience 80 hours later 6. There's more of a focus on juvenile humor & costumes than RPG stuff. Bye now.

  • I just finished this game and I had a blast. My favorite aspects were the combat system and the ability the customize your character's look.

  • @intermsofreality

    lol.. Did you get the swimsuites on the characters? Zephyr wore a bikini. It burned my eyes when he was doing flips... :D

  • Resonance of fate is like older Rpg´s.

    Made by people who Love VideoGames, Good Story and dang Hard.

    And leave the profit to second place.

  • You want GREAT jrpg play the snes or ps1 or even saturn or ps2 better then todays BULLSHIT jrpg.

  • Thank god i got this for cheap. I real wanted this sence boxing day. Final get it and now i hate it. The combat rune it for me. I got so fustrated i gave up. Maybe iam getting old LOL The AI never give you a chance to attack. Maybe if i have time i can see if my local store with give me more for this game. EB sucks for trade in.

  • Alright, so I am unsure of what I should buy, I have never played a JRPG before, but I love western RPGs, I have seen reviews on Resonance of Fate and Final Fantasy 13, I don't have the money for both, so can anyone kind of nudge me in the direction of the better game? story is very important to me as well so thank you for your time

  • @NoLuck87 If you like seeing the subtleties under the game while, and this may seem paradoxical, not being thrown off by linearity (essentially, being more attached to the story and formal plot than the world and side-quests) then FF13 is probably a good buy. Both have very unique and fun combat systems. I preferred FF13's slightly, especially after learning a good amount of the timing and strategy quirks involved, but that is of course just a personal preference.

  • @NoLuck87 You might not like JRPGs altogether. Unlike the open worlds found in most western RPGs, JRPGs tend to be very linear and story driven. A lot of western RPG players tend to be driven away by that. Personally, I enjoy playing both Western and Japanese RPGs. Western for the free and open world, and Japanese for the story and character design.

  • The map system and environments in this game look weak so those complaining about it in 13 are hypocrites fanboys just bashing because it went multi-platform

  • You people please top arguing about FF13.......we all know that the real enemy is Resident evil 4,which is becoming the Street fighter 2 of our generation by bein on every single fucking console, cellphone,calculator and refrigerators with screen in order to be know by every single fucking living thing on the universe.

  • @andree1991 Its a cool game, though.

  • How many weapons are there in this game?

  • @action1958 3. Machine, hand guns & expolosives.

  • The battle system in RoF is so much more complex than FF13. That can be both good and bad. In FF13 it felt like a long tutorial until ch.9, in RoF, right at ch.1 you're fighting real enemies. The boss in ch.1 is pretty hard, too me about 5+ tries to finally kill him. The graphics of RoF is pretty bad compared to FF13, but the cutscenes are still good looking.

  • 0:29 FALCON PUNCH!

  • I'vce always looked at this game but never payed that much attention to it. It does look pretty cool tho' I must say!

  • Better than FF13.

  • @Gahaa90 Final Fantasy 13 was depressing... Square Enix let everyone down with that game.

  • @Kenna77 ,play it at 1080p and smoke weed ,,then tell me if u dont like it,,just finish today 65 hrs ,,amazing game,,,i dont care abour ff7 or ffx ,final fantasy 13 is a good game chapter 11 is sick

  • @aldrum420 damn rite

  • @Gahaa90 Almost anything would be better than FF13

  • @Bullfrog1983 I don't think you played FF13. Battle system of that game is Beast fast paced and really good, but sadly its the only good thing about it. That and also the graphic not the best, but its good.

  • @Bullfrog1983 Final fantasy 13 was awesome you need to stop stealing opinions from the internet

  • @Biddybalboa I don't steal any of my opinions from the internet, FF13 is boring and shitty - and the fighting even more so.

  • @Gahaa90 go fuck your mother you blind piece of shit you think this is better than ff13 your about as fuckin stupid as you sound then.

  • @alone8406 lol umad??

  • heh this is one of the game where I have to seriously scratch my heads and planning all over every battle of the game: where to jump, when to shoot, where to run, and what bullet to shoot. Story is indeed getting nowhere, and repeated action can be boring to some people. However, after getting used to them all, this is perhaps one of the best game I ever played with super challenging stages. Oh and the story got me laughing hard twice, especially "trusty magnum" part...hahaha!

  • You damn kids.

    Back in the day, roleplaying game characters were immersive, and the game played like a complex strategey, and your character's decisions were important. You'd spend a half hour just talking to people and saying the right thing.

    Then you final fantasy faggots showed up and said this garbage with its mary sue cartwheeling emos is "roleplaying"

  • @GoblinsnHobbits and how old are you?

  • @MistaHooong

    late twenties.

  • @GoblinsnHobbits just because the games of your time were not as fun as these dont get upset at good games. oh and shut up troller. oh and some games in the past are good but thats opinian not fact.

  • @obyone878

    Not as fun?

    that's pretty amusing. games today i find incredibly not fun. I don't get to immerse in the role at all.

    games "of my time" were much more fun as role-playing games. You actually *gasp* played a role! Your character's personality was important to the plot! It was like... MAGIC OR SOMETHING!!!!

    The fundmental issue i have with "role playing games" today is that they are not role playing games; they are movies with combat sequences.

  • @GoblinsnHobbits well thats your opinian not mine i dissagree with you but its not my place to say your wrong.

  • @GoblinsnHobbits

    Go drink some prune juice grandpa.

  • this is like an insanely awesome version of FF

  • "The tower you call home is bleak and uninviting."

    You say that like it's a BAD thing.

  • @mrchefcheck I could easily jump on turtles, play football, and shoot guns in real life, thank-you-very-much.

  • I am overwhelmed I am going to play this game to kill people so I will stop.

  • @redfoxbennaton ... What?

  • @sammyg880 lol.

  • I never play RPG before (mabye Pokemon and a bit of old Zelda) is this a good game to start?

  • @SmoothCriminalAaron I dont know, i think your better off starting with something easier. If you have patience then go out and buy it, and just give it a shot (its $30 used, so its not to bad). You just gotta remember that this isnt like other types of games, RPGS are known for being long and difficult in parts.

    I suggest picking this up with FF13, and just alternate when you get stressed on one (which will happen).

  • @Kyosaur ok, mabye once I'm done with Ocarina of Time ^_^ (dam spiders)

  • @SmoothCriminalAaron ff xiii or any ff

  • @SmoothCriminalAaron No no no no no, this game is WAY too difficult and complex for a new RPG gamer, I suggest an easier game, maybe try one of the Tales games, since they are easy to pick up and play, but tough to master.

  • @SmoothCriminalAaron oh god no! This game is very difficult. I would say Kingdom Hearts is a good game to start with ( on the ps2 and also my fav RPG ever!) or any game from the Tales series( Tales of Vesperia is my fav. one. It is for the Xbox 360) or maybe even eternal sonata for the Xbox 360. final fantasy is good too but, it can be difficult as well at some points in the games. RPGS are awesome! You should play some for sure! :)

  • @SmoothCriminalAaron probably you shouldn't listen to these guys here. what they are saying is that you will have a harder time playing this game because you've never beaten kingdom hearts. i say that's bullshit. its idiotic even.

    you will play this game and go through the tutorial and have no more or less difficulty playing it than anyone else. if you like how the game looks then get it.

  • @scarletrhubarb That's The Best New I Heard All Day

  • @mothersday123 I can just easily say that you're just playing another stupid mario game, or another stupid football game, or another stupid shooter.

  • @mrchefcheck Like what?

  • I think the reason they thought it was so challenging is beacause they were underleveled... They were 30's fighting Tri-Stamp... I'm 50's half way through chapter 7.

  • IGN: Resonance of Fate, What can we Say, Don't buy it, Worthless game, Play Halo

    Me: You call yourselves a Game Review?

    GameSpot: Blah Blah Blah Blah, Blah Blah, BLAH.

    Me: I love you...

  • @TehZealSeal

    TehZealSeal: I'm gonna leave a dumb comment on gamespot's youtube.

    Me: why?

    TehZealSeal: Because I'm a butthurt fag who get's offended about other peoples opinions about a dumb game.

    Me: Go kill yourself...

    TehZealSeal: Great now I have to think of another "witty" response my brain can't handle the stress.

  • @morpDprime  Mmm Somebody seems upset :p

  • @TehZealSeal IGN has a bad habit of giving middling scores to games that aren't heavily advertised on their site.

  • @ItsSomeDeadGuy couldn't agree more.

  • @TehZealSeal why halo? It's awesome. There some really bad games. *cod*

  • @devilxx3 I'm just saying it as an example, I have known them to put down amazing games.

  • Why oh why cant americans just leave the japanese voice acting alone in games? Especially considering how amazingly SHIT english voice actors are. Whats more they dont even select someone who can do a voice that even fits the character or their personality! Its like reading a dramatic book and all the characters voices come out as sounding like whiny annoying assholes in your head. >_<

    America should be banned, forever, from dubbing anything.

    SUBTITLES ARE GOD!

  • @Lostfaith1980 If you wanna see good voice acting try Infinite Undiscovery one of the best Next Gen JRpG's imo. Though the voice syncing is fucking terrible i've never seen anygame that so off.

  • @Mekitzu

    yeh voice syncing sucks balls

    but voices are good

    BTW you know Vashyron's voice = Nolan North = Nathan Drake (Uncharted 1,2,3)

  • @Mekitzu you really think they could have spent 5 more minutes on fixing that huh? lol

  • @MrSwannyboy I understand they had to get through the game and review more, so they probably rushed i was just saying.

  • REMINDS ME OF DIRGE OF CEREBRUS...WITCH WAS A PIECE OF SHIT...

  • @Marionet64 Wrong. This is nothing like DOC. DOC was decent anyway.

  • I just hated FF13 could somebody give me the name of a good modern rpg game similar 2 FF ....i know u cant compare but something that would help me overcome the failure of FF13?????

  • @Marionet64 what didn't you like about 13?

  • @Marionet64 well i liked FF 13. for me it was way, but waay better than 12. but i imagine that you didn't like it because of the so argued linearity. if that's so, try the last installment of the star ocean series. it's a classic j-rpg, and it's quite open.

  • @FredSilmo 12 destroyed FF13 in content, story and exploration. The biggest FF game to date and with the best voice acting and theme.

  • @MGSBigBoss1964 exploration i agree, and the voice acting was ok. but content... story...? are we talking about the same game? it seemed to me like a mmorpg, but... an offline one. no story, charactors with no depth at all or whatsoever. and it has an explanation for that. the team and director responsible for the title changed many times. so it was a lousy job square-enix did. but the visuals and gameplay are great though.

  • @FredSilmo Just the director has changed not the team, it has always been the Tactics and Vagrant Story team. The reason the director changed is because he became very ill. The Gambit system and license board is the greatest progression and customization options invented I only wish the FFXII international edition Zodiac Job system came to the US. The story behind Vayne, The Judges, Rabanastre and Dalmasca was very intriguing. Not to mention giving equal time to all characters. Everyone had

  • @MGSBigBoss1964 Everyone had purpose, they all had their own backgrounds, conflicts, and resolve to be pursued. Basch and Balthier and Ashe are amongst the best characters created. The dark political, betrayal, and being on the run theme is unmatched. The ones who do not appreciate what FFXII did obviously have ADD or feel the need of pop-culture anime love stories needing to be obvious for a FF game. BTW FF8 is a close runner up for me in being the best FF game ever made.

  • @MGSBigBoss1964 Well, we agree in one thing, FF8 is one of the best for me too. Most FF fans dislike that game, but it's one of my favorites from the series. But i thought FF12's story and charactors were very poor. For exemple, I find FF 10's story quite stupid, but it's catchy, and so are the charactors...

  • @FredSilmo See I hated FFX characters except for Auron really, Jecht was decent, But the bad guys are fairly memorable Seymour and Yunalesca. The story to me was average but the game was great for its time. I feel that the way the cutscenes are done in FFXII its amazing and the dialog is just perfect. the scene leading to the first fight with gabranth was among the most memorable scenes. Aside from that FF8 is the game that feels most complete in terms of ending and all.

  • @MGSBigBoss1964 So true. FFXII was a magnificent game. So much content, its incredible.

  • @oneupdawg FFXII revitalized my spirits for FF games after FFX leaving me worried as i believe to this day it was a ff game that was never meant to exist. FFXII is perfect story telling with Vaan being literally like the player, exploring a world that not even Vaan knows exists thats vast and full of things to find. The story unfolds to Vaan just like it did for the player. It really felt like you were Vaan when you were playing. Same goes for Squall with dialog choices and seeing in his mind.

  • @MGSBigBoss1964 Exactly. FFXII felt like playing the FF's in the 16bit era. The world of Ivalice is some, if not the best world Square has come up with. They should spend more time with that and stop using Tetsuya Nomura for a while because his artwork and "vision" is becoming too damn predictable and elementary. FFXII gave players the feeling of exploring a rich world at their own pace not forced down hallways shown in FFXIII.

  • @oneupdawg Ivalice and its history that you can uncover in FFXII and Tactics is deep. Theres so much they can do with Ivalice is right and the species. The Fabula Crystallis projects or whatever the whole world is lame. They touted how FF13, FFV13 and FF Agito 13 are all using the fabula crystallis world which is supposed to be so grand yet you cant even explore it. Let alone its not even unified because FF13 already uses cutscenes to progress you from 1 area to the next. Its really lame.

  • @oneupdawg Oh and Ivalice is also Vagrant Story if I am not mistaken.

  • @MGSBigBoss1964 Yes lets Talk about FF on a RoF Review, but i might as well say Something even this is like a week Old i Agree with you about FF12, though i never got to get completely into it since my Ps2 Broke and i havn't bothered to buy a new one and i sold my 100 odd games, but bro come on Don't Diss on FF13 like everyone else, it's a good game in it's own way. Alot of people just hate on it because "It's not FF7" Which is stupid they can't think for themselves.

  • @Mekitzu Well I'm not a FF7 fan thats in the middle or lower middle end of my favorites... FF13 isn't a good game on its way its FF Fanboys that will consider it a good game. If another FF game is made as linear and blatant throwaway of traditions or precedents like FF13 it will not be good for the core fans. People have to let Square Enix know they messed up and people will not buy their games based on name anymore. It angers me that fanboys are ruining FF games by ignoring inherent flaws.

  • @MGSBigBoss1964 I honestly don't get why people hate it the only flaw i really see in the game is the auto-battle being easy mode and the lack of openess till chapter 11.

  • @Mekitzu The dialog which seems to be put into the game without localizers or developers reading it... The openness you describe that happens what 35 hours in? Depending on the player... there really is no point of it that late in the game and still there is little to do and very little variety or personality. Also the only way of getting say the ultimate weapons and breaking damage cap is AFTER you kill the final boss and complete 90% of the game estimate. Its very poorly made with no hindsight

  • lol never even heard of this game! cant believe they released it at the same time as ff13! game suicide haha might have to check this out looks different to most rpgs and a decent challenge!

  • LOL, it came out the same day as final fantasy!! The dude who arranged that must get fired!

  • Most people who are still deciding to get this game should it is fun but there is almost no tutorial and the booklet in the case doesn't even help it just tells you what things are but not how to do certain but don't let that deter you the achievement factor gained from this game is amazing, when one figures out how to do a smackdown or the such it is very satisfying.

  • How hard is this game exactly? From reading a few of the comments it seem alot of you are having a hard time with the game. Mt question is, Would you say its as hard as Lost odyssey? Because before I bought that game I heard people saying it was hard and right now im on disk 3 and still havent had to grind at all. Whats makes this so hard?

  • @JazzyJames019 This game is 1000x harder than Lost Odyssey. It's just an insane amount of difficulty.

  • ive logged like twenty game hours, and its pretty hard. the damn bosses are beast shit. sick game though. graphics could be better, but i like it. a lot.

  • this guy literally made me go out and buy this game. and look. 20 minutes later and a trip to gamestop, and the game is in my hands as i speak. or write...

  • @DarkSpark94 the exactly same thing happened to me :O

  • Vanquish frustrated the shit out of me, but I completed it. I had obtained it last week and completed it last week, so I really don't have the patience or will to play another hard game.

    Eh.

  • @MrAnders0n2 play castlevania lords of shadow if u want to play a hard game

  • OMFG OMFG OMFG!!! i cant stop laughing when i see that guy running like a? idiot clown. gameplay was awesome. interesting battle system xD and i like all the jumpings. this is my next game for SURE!

  • 6:24 o

  • looks very good. Now I think this will be my next game for sure!

  • Hey look a real review unlike Ign's.

  • i would love to play this but i hate rpgs

  • Hey, I got a hard decision, which one is better? FoR or FF13? i like RPGs and so called 'free roaming' and i only can choose one, so which one?

  • @InsultingJoker I'm playing FF13, it's really linear for the first 10 chapters. I haven't played this game at all, but at least it sounds like it has more freedom for exploring.

  • I will say now that this game will definitely make you feel like a bad ass with all the jump shooting and flipping, but if you want a good story, this game is not for you.

  • Thumbs up for pedoRaindeer

  • finally a game that captivated me!, from the first time i saw its wallpaper, i new this was something more interesting than the rpg for beginners FF13

  • besides the characters, this game looks great!

  • They are so funny when they run! XD

  • Certainly looks difficult, but I've always been for strategic gameplay. I hope I can grasp the active battle system soon enough for it not to be a problem. Hope I get this game for Christmas!

  • @IsaacTeranIceSage Is On Sale On Amazon New For 19.99 I just bought it as a present to myself you should too is like 67% off On their daily deals

  • I would just like to say that I am not going to watch this because there is a spoiler. I thank you for your warning... But I am trying to decide to buy the game or not! Why involve spoilers in a video game review by such a large company/site as Gamespot?! Come on now...

  • man... im sorrry not to be a hater and i think this game looks pretty fun but i cant stand many guns with even the slightly involvment of guns =( COD and other shooters killed my love for any sorta of guns in games

  • @igotTHEcookies ...... This is not a first peson shooter. Oh god I cant believe you would even mention that....

    This is actually a really weird game, just like Valkyrie profile; a game the same company made previously..

  • @NinkaPanda hehe you read way to much into my comment i never said nor did i really suggest this was a FPS i was saying that the COD series made me develope a hate for the use of guns in any games (i prefer melee and magic) my comment also said it looked fun despite my hate for guns i dont really get were u were coming from with the talk of FPS

  • This looks like it's gonna be an amazing game, bit nervous for the challenge, but hopefully the fun overshadows the difficulty.

    Oh, and for all those people bitching about FF13, it may not be the best in the series but people are paying to much attention to other games in the franchise and are not really seeing the game for what it really is, a stunningly beautiful, rich, deep world. Really get into the gameplay and trust me you...will...enjoy peace ;D

  • @Kemsti I love you lol. Completely agree with you on final fantasy XIII, and resonance of fate is difficult, but once you get it down and you know what you're doing you'll be fine

  • @Kemsti I tried, for SO long to get into final fantasy 13. It didn't work. Constant battles, constant grinding, by the time I was at a high enough level to continue I forgot the story. Maybe I'm just not good at it, I don't know, but I was great at every other ff game I played.

  • @numberninteynine Well I guess it's not a game for everybody, but what really matters is if u got you're money's worth and i hope you at least got that :)

  • @numberninteynine Or, maybe it was shit ; )

  • IGN couldn't review a mud hut, and Final Fantasy XIII is fucking shit.

  • This game is a must buy, uffff looks so sweet

  • I have spent 30 + hours on this game since I bought it about 2 weeks ago, and I am only on the 5th Chapter. The very addictive tactical tri-attack combat system takes some time to master, but this is what sets this game apart from other run-off-the-mill RPGs.

    You will only die often if you don't level up ( an insane amount of grinding is required in this game and I consider that fun ). Also, recklessly rushing your way through the game will result in nothing but frustration.

  • Just bought it yesterday, first impression: this is what FFXIII should have been. Seriously, if this gameplay was carried over to a FF game, it would be kick ass.

  • Dang man, I want user comments on the game. Everybody is talking about how FFXIII sucks. Okay, it was linear, it was alot of the same. (Though I personally loved the paradigms and battle system.) But what about THIS game. Is the reviewer on or off about it? I'm thinking of buying it.

  • @Tellthatruth

    Dude I know! I'm looking at the comments to see what others think of the game but for some reason I see FFXIII, wtf?!

    It's even in the most highest rated comment

    I want to see how people compare the IGN and Gamespot reviews.

    THE GAME, WHAT-ABOUT-THIS-GAME?!

  • i play all FF and is all boring, hope versus is good -*-

  • Buy this game. But this is not a simple game you need time to learn how to play. It's hard at first...

    The characters are so damn well made. The less characters a RPG has the better they are... You can see that they worked damn good in thier back stories and atittude.

  • Something is only called revolutionary if it changes things. If a bunch of games copy Resoance of fate that you can say it revolutionized rpgs. If no games copy than you say it is a unique rpg.

  • Lol Gamespot > IGN

  • @TranceAnton that is so true that today i unsubscribed to ign cause they really pissed me off and subscribed to gamespot

  • @TranceAnton Agreed.

  • LMFAO @1:07's running animation. 

  • i've never played a RPG before, none of the FF games either but the combat in this looks sick, i dont really like RPG games. is it my piece of cake or not ? Need help from you RPG fans, buy: yes or no ? :)

  • @Rizzy786 It is an RPG, there is lvling up, questing and so forth. But it is so fast paced and action focused that it feels like a hybrid of, lets say, Devil May Cry and the Matrix, mixed with a Turn Based Combat Style.
