Over the past 48 hours 4chan's formspring page has gotten over 12,000 questions, and I've received over 3,000 e-mails. Many thanks to everyone who submitted a question, and sent me a message! I was able to respond to a few hundred e-mails and had hoped to start answering questions on formspring, but it seems that the number of questions broke the page. Once that's sorted out, I'll sift through them and answer as time allows.
Thanks again for all of the support!

In other news, /rs/ now processes MediaFire/MegaUpload/and a bunch of other links correctly (this had been broken for months). The old links should be updated in about a week (the checker is taking a while).
Thanks to Popcorn Mariachi for spontaneously appearing and fixing this.

Final reminder: Ask questions here, e-mail me here (I read *every* one), and follow 4chan on the Twitter here.

Come on! Enough of these threads...

Yes Final Fantasy XIII will most likely be better
on the PS3 Square has a lot more experience
working with sony and they know what they
are capable of, and ps3 has amazing graphics
compared to ps3... Xbox360 owners shouldn't
have to be punished when they go on /v/. At
least I shouldn't I say PS3 has Gaems!

who cares about god damn optimized graphics if the fucking game's story sucks. I hope when I actually get the game, its story is good. I swear if its story sucks, but everyone is raving about how beautiful it is... i'm just gonna forget about FF games until the next online one.

I've got bad news; most reviews of FFXIII so far have one identical consensus: the story is sub-par, the characters range from ok to grating & it has a weak antagonist.

most reviews rave about the battle system, its technical benchmark & music, not the story.

hmmm cool, barely understood it as in like complicated anime ending, or barely understood it like "I just began watching a soap opera halfway through the season and have no freakin clue what I missed or who these characters are"?

it can go either way with FF games, sometimes they try to make things as complicated as possible, so when you come to the realization moment you go OH SHIT. other times they just try to make it as awesome as possible by just adding random shit that makes it impossible to understand.

Gameplay aspects I loved, although it could have used some refinement.

It was mostly the story, which I liked a lot. The problem stems from the fact that Matsuno's story got watered down and kawaii-ized. Mainly I have beef with the inclusion of Vaan and Penelo. Not only that, but the fact that Basch, who was supposed to be the main character, got sidelined heavily. Character motivations (mainly that of Gabranth) are poorly realized causing Gabranth's speech for why he joined Archadia to sound completely comical and rubbish. The story would have been better had it focused more on Ashe and Basch.

>>	Anonymous 03/01/10(Mon)22:51 No.51139110 >>51138869 ahh, I remember now about how they added vaan at the last minute because people thought basche was too old and people wouldn't want through his story.
