It's not going to be trashed but certainly it won't be a high 90 game.
Its not that its going to ruin my enjoyment of the game, VIII too, is my second favorite game of the series, I played it knowing that every body hated it but that never affected my enjoyment of the game and how deep I fell in love with its combat. The thing is, I want XV to be critically successful, I know I will play and love it, but I also want it to be the turning point that FF franchise desperately needs. That's why I'm a bit nervous cause a lot is riding on this, I just hope it delivers.
I also want a lot of people to eat crow,

I agree.
The issue stems from our need for acceptance - to know that everyone likes what we like. If the reviews are incredibly positive, then some people think that means it will no doubt be a superb game.
Like what you like because you like it. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks.

Honestly if you're worried about reviews, or if it gets ripped apart or whatever-- I would say the best advice would be to just take a step away from the internet and just play it. After that, what happens, happens. The history surrounding this game, that it's a new mainline Final Fantasy, that everyone has their own opinions about what an FF game should be like, that it'll have some valid problems as many games do, and that people lose their fucking minds over even an 8 out of 10 and declare it a failure because it "took so long to make and this is the best they could do" will all collide into a yellow snowball.
The Conan segment alone lifted the curtain on how hysterical people are going to be over the game whether good or bad. It isn't worth the stress. My cards are on the table that it'll be a good game but with problems. Hopefully they don't come together to bring the overall experience down too much. I love FFXII, but the story took a massive nosedive and it didn't really have the great finale it deserved. I still put about 250 hours on it.

You're absolutely right, but I get where they're coming from. I'm sensitive about it too, not because I'm scared of disliking the game or bad reviews but because...I want the game to succeed and make lots of people happy, I suppose. I know it's over sensitive.
P.S. FFVIII is my favourite too! Shortly followed by XII.

Anyone in FFXIII is very good club with me? LOL
I am in FFVIII club too...might be my fav. My fav changes every week though and depends on which one I am playing at the moment.
But VIII's setting is GOAT...and the soundtrack combined with it has given me atmospheric feels like no game before or since.

Yup, particularly if it manages to somewhat address camera in dungeons during fights....

I like XIII, despite its problems.
I think XIII-2 is a very good game.
Lightning Returns was interesting, atmospheric as all fuck and had excellent combat.
The only problem I had with Lightning Returns were in the technical visuals and performance; it had stunning art direction but the texture work was pretty bad. If they remastered that game, polished up the textures and frame rate I think it would be pretty damn great.

Quick editing. I want it.
Yes please.

oh shit lol
Yep, in the gray market. A friend sent me that picture, they're probably charging a bit more than usual. I think Mortal Kombat 9 also was here about two weeks before release.
Polvos gives no shits lol.

A Xiii collection would be awesome. If 12 can get a remaster Xiii should too

This is like seeing a much clearer picture of the Loch Ness Monster.
The first two already look great, I would say get them at 60fps, bump the resolution, but do a bit more work for LR.

This reminds me of when FF XII leaked a month before release. Dark times.

FFXIII is the game that put me into this series, I really enjoyed that game. Then I played all the others games, and now this is my favourite videogame series. So thank you, FFXIII lol

Yes, very good. I'd really like to hear impressions from people with their hands on the full thing, though I do wonder whether not having the Day One Patch could be an issue.

Fantastic. Why on earth would SE sit on this piece of art and not use it for the cover. (perhaps maybe the artists just did)
Game's already in the wild, at least here in Peru.
Don't think so, I wanna try this one but I'm not a big FF fan tbh, some friends of mine are probably already running to the store to get it, I should avoid Facebook lol.
Damn, that's regular price, surprised they ain't taking advantage considering how early they got it. It's tempting...

Same.
I got on the hype train for Versus and XIII in 2006 and then first got FFXII, then X, then VI, then VII, then IV, then VIII and so the journey began
So XIII brought me in before it even released (slightly different to you where you enjoyed the game and then tried the others I guess lol)
In the 3 years leading to its release I played through a lot of the past FF titles.
For me the 'dated' argument simply doesn't work with especially the PS1 FF's as I played em a full 10 years after their release and loved them. Of course now we are 20 years from their release so the situation is slightly different.

OMGG I am willing to find this retailer and have them send it to me to the UK lol! So desperate to play it now!

You know, unless you're willing to pay out of the wazoo for shipping by the time it gets to wherever you live the game will have released officially.

Peru is not that far away from Brasil....I hope the game shows up around here in the next week.
