ルシ / l’Cie: an individual marked by the fal’Cie
I have to confess that finishing XII is taking second place to playing XIII. A real no-brainer: brilliant hi-def FMVs, flawless near hi-def game screens and Oerba Yun Fang (ooh gawd help me). Fainaru Fantaji Satin has taken over my life after work, except for five days about the time of last weekend’s gig and tonight. Have a look at the following FMV (don’t worry about spoilers, bukan korang paham pun):
The game has about a lot of things related to FF of old. The Crystarium levelling up system is similar to X’s Sphere Grid system, with certain levels capped according to the storyline. Therefore, there’s no pressure to do the grind early on in the game. Which meant I could enjoy the storyline without forgetting what happened last because I have been powering up my characters for a month.
Interestingly, the game’s battle format was designed differently when they were introducing the first few screenshots a few years ago. The camera angles were more dynamic and the battle were in real space (I think) like XII.
