Well, if one reading of the karmic law is “we all got it coming, kid,” then Yoichi Wada, the CEO of Square Enix, got his when his Xbox 360 up and died. The man even tweeted “T-T”, which will be the only recognisable characters to those who don’t speak Japanese. The translation, per Siliconera, has it that Wada-san wanted to play some games on his 360, but he discovered that it crashed. He then said he’s considering dropping all of the new games he started. It’s a momentum-killer for sure.

Friday, May 6, 2011 at 2:36 PMI used to love FF. This latest one pissed me off enough that by the time I got to the last boss, after a stupidly-ridiculous amount of hours I’d spent grinding levels, I just wanted to see the ending. Of course the boss is pretty ridiculous and resulted in me giving my 360 a little boot after a bunch of wasted hours trying to kill a boss with attacks that take away basically all of your health and nullify basically all of your skills much faster than you can heal yourself, let alone attack it.
So yeah, I lost all my saves cause of it. It sucks and really does make you lose momentum. Luckily all I cared about were my Mass Effect saves which I’m really not bothered about playing through again all the way from the first one because unlike FF13, ME and ME2 are actually freaking excellent games.
Geez FF13 sucked. I really wanted to like it but it has none of the awesomeness of old FFs. It NEEDS a world map. It NEEDs side quests. It NEEDS more than just “Go down this perfectly linear path to reach the next FMV, then repeat that for the entirety of the game because that’s the only thing you can do.”
It should’ve just been an anime movie, that’s obviously what they wanted to make and they just shoved some shit-awful gameplay in there to break up FMVs. Pointless.
Oh yeah, thanks to the wonders of Youtube I got to see the ending of the game. If you’re interested in FF13 you’d probably do better to just watch all the FMVs on Youtube or something. It’s a huge not-worthwhile timesink.
Blarg, end of stupid rant of meh-ness…

Wednesday, May 18, 2011 at 5:57 AMHa, ha! I was an Xbox 360 fan as well until mine broke and I repaired it and again it broke, and again I repaired and then replaced it and then THAT XBOX 360 BROKE!
That was it for me! I’m going back to the Playstation from here on out.
I wish they would go back to making decent Final Fantasy games though. Final Fantasy XIII just sucked. http://nerdtrek.com/final-fantasy-missing/
