OPM UK Febuary FFXIII Feature + First English Review

[Nex]

I think it's bullshit. They use the Japanese terms (Optima, Break, Attacker, Healer, Enhancer) instead of English ones. They also don't say anything about that story that couldn't be assumed from playing the import (at the end they say there are whiny characters with no redeeming features, and correct me if I'm wrong but the character development in this game is supposed to be the highlight).

It sounds like they received the import version, played 10 hours and wrote a haphazard review.

That's because they reviewed an imported copy.

It says it. Right in the review.

"OPM is in Tokyo Japan to play the PAL version of the game before any other magazine in the world."

I like the mistake of images for FF9 and FF7 xD!

[shadowrep]

CRAP!! SORRY! THE THING MESSED UP ¬__¬ AND SAID TO TRY AGAIN >.> AHH WTH!

[Agent Dunham]

For the record, when I say "review", I mean the review, not the feature.





Sometimes I wonder if it's correct to say that I'm the one that's legally blind.

[Syriani]

Seeing their opinions on the past FF games, I'm not even gonna take that review in consideration when i make the decision of buying the game on release or when it drops to the greatest hits price.

[Squirrel Emperor]

I can't take official magazines from Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo seriously when it comes to reviews.

I just can't...

[Käthe]

I remember when Sony got pissy when OPM said MAG would be a terrible shitty failure. roflf.

[Glacies]

I think this is rather funny.



With all the credit FFVII got, editors doesn't seem to know the difference between and IX xD

[Egralainos]

Yeah.......it kinda pissed me off.FF8 wasn't that bad.

From what they're saying, it seems we are getting a solid FF.

sweaty knobs all bundled up together in a cubicle

The second page won't load for me. Guess I can't read the full review.

I didn't even realize they skipped VIII until you pointed it out. They skipped X, too.

Yeah they also call FFX-2 the first FF on PS2 as well

I don't know who did that timeline but clearly they need to be shot. I can't even imagine the conversation that would go down between this person and their boss upon this discovery.

[Agent Dunham]

OPM's editor: Still on vacation. Should probably file missing persons report.

[spirawase]

didn't really look thru the whole thing but its riddled with misinformation, especially in the character relationship diagram... SO MUCH FALSE INFO!

but its cool they did review it anyway

[XIII]

What happened to I, II, III, IV, V, and VI, anyways? How come they don't get any love? Did they just stop existing?

Then again, I suppose that didn't really give much room for the whole saga, a little spot at the top of the page...but still.

Love it or hate it...agree or disagree. VII truly put the series on the map. I'm sure some people believe VII was the first Final Fantasy lol...

[Zeta_Stryker]

Well, if I'm being frank, VII & IX is what got me interested in the franchise.
- First intro into cinematic scenes
- camera zooms in an out and around the battles for a dramatic feel (FFIII DS & FFIV DS also had this)

As for X, Actual voice acting. Even the lipsync was kinda off.

[Falsate]

Thank you woman!

VII didn't do squat.
