I think quite a few people might be disappointed with Final Fantasy XIII when it ships to US and EU. I recently just read a review from Gamer|Life and they have played the first 17 hours of the game and describes the game as more of a movie than a game. He also listed some of the changes within the game set up
Here they are:
- You Have a Party of 3 and only control 1 character and you do not chose who you control in your party, it's random
- Apparently there are almost no towns, non-playable characters to chat up, extra side missions, hidden sequences, fancy equipment to save up for.
- He talks about how the game is straight forward and if your not fighting a battle then your watching a cut-scene
Battle Changes- If you die in a battle its not game over you just start from the point before the battle
- if you don't feel the battle is going your way, you can chose to restart the battle
- And you are automatically healed after every battle
(This is not my opinion of the game this information was taken from
Game|Life website.)
