My copy just arrived, almost at the end of the day !!!
I will see it just now and leave my thoughts on it !
That bad thing was, I had to pay about US$100.00 of taxes. Man, I can't say how much I hate my country!
But even so, I'm not all that angry because I just game Final Fantasy XIII, finally !
EDIT:For those lucky lucky people who have a copy, would it be possible to post their (spoiler free) impressions of the game as they go through? I haven't read comments on other sites for fear of being told spoilers, but I know I can trust you guys!
So far I have played a little over an hour, and it's great so far! Lot's of dialogue, the battle is so fast that sometimes you can barely look at the damage you're dealing, because you have to worry about your life, which enemy you target, and all, and that's with only with a little available abilities.
Graphics are spectacular, facial expressions are some of the best I've seen, and not only in movies, but every little scene. Characters hands are a little blocky, which is kinda funny, but you only see it when they give you a close up on their hands, otherwise it's barely noticeable.
Sound: Can't tell much about the music with so little time, but the battle theme (which was already know) is great, but the sound itself deserves a praise. I play the game using digital audio input, and a 6.1 Home Theater and oh god, the sound is a blast!
When you hear an explosion, it really feels like it, when it's supposed to be subtle, it is.
Overall: so far, it's fantastic, I feel like I'm running out of adjectives to qualify the greatness of this game.
Later on I'll you give you guys some more updates on something more in depth (spoiler free, of course).
