So to backfill the readers on something, when FFXIII was release, I watched a buddy start playing it at his house. Mind you this guy is the only real friend I have even though he's out the service and back home, but when it comes to games, He and I mostly if not always have the same opinions when it comes to them. So as you can imagine, a couple chapters into the game, we both looked at each other, looked at the PS3... and then took the game out and never touched it again...

A couple months later (yesterday), he gives me a call saying he didn't want his $60 to go to waste, so he picked it up got somewhere near the end, or I think he beat it (forgot the convo already). His words were

yeah man,I kept going thru it, and well the characters don't get much better but it seemed alright enough to finish playing, the system seems complicated but it's easy for you to learn, the story on the other hand was questionable, but it's workable
Hearing his words, I thought to myself... well I guess it's about that time. If he says so and neither of us never been wrong about games to each other, then It's gotta be worth playing..

So there you have it readers... any thoughts or opinions on this.
