Okay; I've only played for about 27 hours now so I will have to divide my initial thought into two parts:
[Chapters 1- 10 (first 25 hours of playtime)]
Holy god does this game suck. LOL. No, no... I should start with the positives first... Okay... the positives...
1.) I'm in love with Lightning (lol), I am. She's gorgeous and strong and gorgeous and skinny and gorgeous and stubborn and goregous. She is without a doubt my favorite FF character of all time. Everytime I see her on screen I catch myself mouthing the words "I Love You." LOL. After 30 seconds of watching her I decided in my heart that I would follow her to hell if it meant finishing this game.
2.) I'm in love with Fang (lol).
3.) I'm in love with Vanille (lol).
4.) I forget what Chapter it was... but that scene where you are able to play as Snow on the beach resort and you have to find Sareh... that is so epic it almost makes the whole game (so far) worth it IMO.
Okay; now the negatives:
1.) Hope. Seriously; if you thought Vann was bad, Hope is by far the worse FF character in the history of the known universe. All he does is whine like a wuss for 20+ hours. Whoever thought it was a good idea to stick a whiny brat who holds in his pent up rage and wears clothes that is appropiate only for a Back to The Future Part 2 movie should be fired right now. He is the main reason this game sucks; he is so irritating that he makes you not care about the overall story because he is such a main part of it. Die hope... Die. (lol)
2.) A lot of the times you can only fight with 2 characters. This is unacceptable IMO; fighting with only 2 characters is soooooooo not fun... especially when you are under-powered and it is a hard boss battle type fight. And the fact that you cannot pick your group members in the first nine chapters is really irritating also.
3.) Linear. Actually, the fact that this game is linear doesn't really bother me as much as the fact that the locations are so confined a lot of the times. This game sort of feels like you are on some kind of ride at Disneyland.
[Chapter 11]
Holy crap... this is how the game should have been from the start. By now your characters have enough options to make battling A LOT more fun and you can finally pick your group members. Grand Pulse is wide and vast and beautiful and you can finally do a little exploring if you want. There are hunts available and monsters that will crush you into a pulp if you dare take them on this early. This is where you get to see how truly beautiful and epic the FF13 world is... and could've been for the first 10 chapters.
I love how the Squaretards (not you, the really rabid f***ers) justify this game by saying, "If you just play through the first 25hrs it gets really good!"
Um, yeah, you know what the hell I could do with the 25 hours I'm waiting for a goddamn game to START being fun?!
God of War started being fun the first 30sec. DBZ Tankaiichi 2 started being fun the first 5min, Force Unleashed? You start of as Muthaf***in' darth vader, and go up from there. Even in the realm of RPGs, Dragon Quest 8 kicks its ass being fun right out the gate. At least you get to explore in that one, instead of running down a tube for 3/4 of the game.
The reason FF7 is going for such a high price is single. Every game Square has released since then has made people want to go back to 7 that much more.
