Final Fantasy XIII appears to be the most anticipated upcoming sequel amongst western gamers by a substantial margin, the bitter truth of the matter evidently still not having crossed the language barrier.

I have been expecting this game but now I don't know if I really want this game or not. I might just have to wait for my friend to buy it and see it myself before buying. Man, if it is disappointing, I can only hope for FFXIII versus to be good. And FFXIV, cos MMORPG couldn't be that bad.
I am in the same boat. I guess FFXIII will probably not be in the "get it regardless of price" category of game, but more of the "must play...but can wait until the price drop" kind of game.
lulz... Complaining About Shows/Games You've Never Watched/Played...
I'm surprised bioshock 2 isn't higher on that list... I'd guess it's because the poll didn't target the pc gaming master race.
I love SanCom, but seriously, all this FF13 hate is sensationalist bullshit. I'm 40+ hours into the game and it kicks all kinds of ass. For a game that is supposedly too linear, I just spent the last day and a half of playtime doing completely optional sidequests.
I guess because a handful of loud Japanese crybaby internet trolls don't like it, that voids the opinion of 1.7 million other people who probably do.
Also... is that a GameFAQs poll? GameFAQs has been FF fanboy central since the 90s, so those poll results should come as a surprise to no one.
I'm 15 hours into the game, and thus cannot give a full review of the game, but I am not willing to play anymore. If I want to spend 40 solid hours out of my mind before I got to do anything fun I'd get a girlfriend.
western gamers =/= japanese gamers
just because japanese players do not like the game, does not mean the western players won't.
Ummm... western RPG fans tend to whine about linearity when you can't play an evil character, Japanese players are more acceptant of linearity; and yet that's the main complaint. I really think that the west will be disappointed too in all honesty.
well, at least Pokemon HG/SS lived up to the hype...
Well there is one issue or condition to buying a game like this as with the older ones in the past up from the Playstation2 to the Xbox360 and now to the Playstation3, how good is its 'Wack factor'? Are the girls enabled to have lots and lots of 'did she really turn like that and flash' or 'alternating hips with full motion camel-toes impacting the insides of the thigh as they stand before the camera? Hows the views of the girls in swimsuits if the game is enabled as well, GOOD? Could just be for the new 'Wack factor' of the new Yuna and clan in the game.
Im actually more interested in No mor eheroes 2 and bioshock 2 xP
Same least bout NMH2, but being relevant to the article if ya wanna play it then by all means play FF13.
That was me I forgot to log in >_<
WHOOOO, God of War 3 Bioshock 2 and Mass Effect 2!!!!
FF fans are a bunch of retards
i played the game
sure it has good character design
but sucky battle theme + battles ?
non final fantasy fans are retarded... no offense. u are just retarded person.
Nobuo, come back! FF music was always so memorable until he started to shy away.
Why couldn't she have been the female lead...
I'm much more excited for No More Heroes 2.
That poll image looks shopped. When I took it Bioshock 2 was in the lead.
Honestly I'm looking forward to No More Heroes 2 the most out of that list. I also heard there was going to be a Virtua Fighter 6 some time later next year.
Same here. No More Heroes 2 and Bayonetta are what I'm most looking forward too.
Pokemon is superior.
Most Anticipated Sequel? Only because it been in production for over 5 years and they kept delaying it. Thats why!
Horray for BC2 :D!
the picture isn't from ffxiii is it??? i don't remember it....
I can't believe how many people on this site say this game is going to suck - have you played it yourself?
I only know of one site - one site - that says it isn't going to be good. That's this site. Everywhere else - everywhere else - says it's going to rock.
So, yeah, given Final Fantasy's track record, I'm buying this thing.
Could it suck? Maybe. But I think the game deserves the benefit of doubt.
Oh yeah, GameFAQs, biggest representative of America's tardest gaming community.
No wonder it's the most voted, while half of the games in the list seem to be more promising sequels that actually improve over the originals/ past iterations on a mechanical level, not just graphics or *lol*storee*lol* (because the only kind of idiot that enjoys Final Fantasy games because of their stories is the same kind that enjoys Metal Gear games because of their nonsensical, insultingly stupid stories).
Because America is the only country to use GameFaqs...
Mmmkay, how 'bout "biggest representative of the Western world's tardest gaming community"?
So this ia based one ONE poll of ONE website, voted by a limited number of people who visited that website only?
I don't think it's fair, going to gamefaqs.com and take a screenshot doesn't work for me....
What are you so negative Artifact? Look at all the people who voted for God of War 3 and Lost Planet 2.
Still looking forward to it. And lets not forget versus.
pokemon was 2nd highest
nice chart
Another stupid one.....
the look of the girls in the game is a good enough reason for me to buy it XD ...
Yeah, voted for Bioshock 2, since Dead Rising 2 wasn't on there, wonder why.
Can't wait for Lost Planet 2...
I lol'ed at the Albert Wesker pre-order skin, but it's one of the reasons I'm buying it...
Indeed it is. I will probably borrow from a friend (why waste my money when I can coerce someone into buying it so I can play for free?).
To be honest from what it sounds like this sounds like the type of game I would like. I've read reviews and sadly all they do is whine about the bad. I will not make any judgment myself until I actually play the game but I have to say other than the supposedly small amount of free roaming it seems like it will be a fine game.
I voted for Bioshock 2 in the poll myself though. But that was only because Ar Tonelico III was not listed.
Screw your bitter facts. It's the story that matters, the Japanese just like to moan about everything if it isn't perfect.
America does not give a shit about butthurt otakus opinions about FF13.
is that picture from ffxiii o-O??
Good or bad, I don't think either will affect FFXIII's sales, because given its production value, it will either get a fanbase anyway. The worse thing that a FFXIII game can be is simply being ordinary...which by the looks of people's reaction, it isn't. Oh well, Square Enix wins again.
Whatever. The "bitter truth" has been communicated to me, but I'm still buying it because I want to see it with my own eyes, instead of letting other people decide whether it was worth it or not.
I honestly don't think it will be half as bad as Sankaku is making it out to be. I've heard positive things from other people.
what bitter tru--hey, are those boobies?
Diablo3 is nowhere to be found, Gran Turismo 5 with only 2,8%. This list is awful, sup gamefaqs.
Time to get a PS3...
Kind of sad to see that Lost Planet 2 isn't too anticipated. I suppose its due to the fact that the original community was rather small. Still, after playing the demo I am truly looking forward to it. That, and basically almost every game on that list. XD
FFXIII board on GameFAQs is full of denial. Mention anything bad about the game and you get hit with:
1) YOU DIDN'T PLAY THE GAME!
2) If you did, you couldn't understand it
3) They sacrificed gameplay for the good storyline
4) 2ch doesn't know what they're talking about/they're known trolls
Fanboy logic ftl.
Those are actually good points, especially numbers 1 and 4. 2chers are just a bunch of uneducated virgin manchildren, when it comes to games they view them in a different light then a normal person would. I for one am going to rent the game to see if i like it and not put my faith in people who are just one small step above being retarded.
Go back to 1.
YOU DIDN'T PLAY THE GAME, DICK.
Everyone has their own opinions and it really comes down to you playing the game and giving a PERSONAL OPINION on the game.
It always amazes me how one blog can change the attitude of players worldwide.
I don´t know how much games I´ve been playing, but all they have in common is that they are straight as a line in which you go from point A to point B.
This is true for all games.
No, I don´t call going right or left and ending up at the same point giving me a choice.
I don´t call getting a slightly different ending movie and that I can either be a errand boy or kill everything changes to gameplay. Still a straight line to the end.
And I´m truly thinking here, why has this hate come up now? Older FF games are straight line as well. FPS are straight line games, plattforming? Same thing there.
Is it because FFXIII is a JRPG that this hate has risen?
I wonder why people have such problems with FMVs in videogames. Most of the games today have them, even NDS has FMVs.
So while I find it interesting to see this reaction to such a title as FFXIII I´m also wondering what kind of eye pads everyones seems to wear as you´ve missed the most basic point of games: Go to point B from point A how you want, but most often: A straight line.
Signing off. I will probably never find this comment again so go ahead, have fun with it. Tell all the spelling errors I´ve made, as I know there are probably a lot of them.
Then I can have a good laugh if I ever see the answers and wonder why you spend so much energy on correcting a text online when you could be playing or watching anime or doing just about anything more productive.
Have a nice day everyone.
You should probably try out Deus Ex.
^ fantard ftw
weaboo weaboo!
Fail Troll is Fail..
Prepare for some shitstorms once it hit shores.
Oh yeah, FFXIII FTW! Oh and GOWIII as well :D
i would like some GOW3~
also some BC2 plz~
POKEMON SILVER. Nostalgia lose.
Pokemon getting 2nd place: -10 respect for gamefaqs.
FUCKING BIKINI TITTIES ARE HAWT
Why, yes. Yes anon, they are.
+1!!! I like that pic. Is there a way to download the video it comes from?
no Heavy Rain?
i thought it was the hype champion
'Tis is not a sequel to Weather Forecast channel on Wii.
To me, the game basically looks like FFX, and that was not only all kinds of linear, but also very enjoyable.
Enjoyable minus the overpowered summons, horrible protagonist, lack of a convincing villain, and failed emotional appeal of an ending, I guess.
Well it's branding colonial mentality that drives the anticipation. To be honest I'm looking forward on White Knight for RPG :)
hay guise,
where can i sign up to haet on mainstream game i haven't played yet but some other ppl told me it were bad and haeting mainstream stuffs maeks you cool so i haet it am i cool yet?
Does FF13 even count as a sequel? Each game has no relation to the other, they just share a name and happens to be numbered.
It's like the Tales series. No one would consider Vesperia as a sequel to whatever the previous one was right? Unless they named it Tales 10 instead.
The only FF sequel is X-2. It's an actual sequel to FFX.
Just just be quiet
*facedesk*
LOST PLANET 2 HOORAH
hey i thought those in the west knew about what happened to FFXIII already... Guess they don't know anything, huh
lol you are a retarded wapanese fuck
no sc2 on that list? fuckin fail.
You are the one to fail. There isn't even a release date for SC2.
Well considering the release date for SC2 is (with all things considered)a fucking myth, as of now, I don't think any gamers expect it out this year.
i doubt sc2 is coming out in "early" 2010, d3 will prolly make early 2012 list haha, cant wait!
No one knows when SC2 is coming out. Not even Blizzard.
This isn't surprising. It's probably just a bunch of FF fangirls that want the game for the male characters. After they get half way though they'll begin writing bad yaoi fics to put on ff.net and drawing bad yaoi fanart to put on DA.
Out of the games on that list, the only three that I'm waiting for are Pokemon, God of War, and Bioshock.
You know nothing, fool. All of the Final Fantasy fans I know are male. And what's the fun in turning a male character gay if they look like a girl in the first place?
Isn't this one centered around a female this time (and a hot one at that)?
what, there are male character in this game? never heard of them.
^ I'm waiting for the same games! After so many years, I still find pokemon pretty nice lol
Yeah, people think that just because the anime sucks, the games suck too.
Hype, hype and moar hype.
No more heroes 2 is gonna be awesome
true and lets face it, final fantasy fans are going to buy/play/talk about the game no matter what, cant wait for it to come out!
I have a simple solution. If you think this is a bad game don't buy it. but don't tell me how bad it is if you don't.
STFU NIGGERMUSLIMSHITHEADS. If I saw any of you fucks talking negatively about FFXIII irl I would slit your throats and let the crows feed on your corpses.
God of War III should've at least come in second. It's media career has been filled with epic-ness ever since the first trailers at various conventions.
It's a complete crap, don't want it even if it were for FREE.
lol bandwagon-jumping sheep
And you know it.
So, according to you, the only people entitled to have an opinion and voice it are the ones who spend money to buy the game?
In other words, you gotta fork over $60 to have an opinion?
no, you don't have to buy the game to have an opinion on it, but if you didn't buy it and are saying it's a bad game, then you essentially paid 0$ to be a fucking retard.
you dont have to fork out money to try the game, via demo or borrow from a friend that bought the game easy right? what anon is trying to say is to atleast try the game, srsly anon 00:36 is dumb as a sack of potato
awww lil' anon butthurt cause the truth might hurt.
So... you're saying to not buy it if we don't like it right? And then you say you don't want to hear us say that we don't like it unless we DO buy it? UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
It's not really that difficult to determine which is more convincing...
"I think the game sucks because other people say so" vs "I have played the the game, and I can you you that it definitely sucks".
i am anon 19:29 and please read what i said closely. i didn't say if you don't like it don't buy it, i said if you "think" this is a bad game don't buy it. What i mean is that if your preconcieved notion of the game is bad don't buy, but also don't gripe about something you haven't experienced.
You can't reasonably review a book you haven't read or a movie you haven't watched for example. So honestly how can you give an opinion of a game you never played?
im real anon at 19:29 and read what i said closely. im a dirty weaboo final fantasy fanboy who needs to lose some weight and leave my parents house / dorm room for more than junk food.
i think he may referring to the people who just read other peoples reviews and then post their own reviews based on what they have read, whether or not they have actually played it.
ANON is a fool.
Seems like we have a cleverer Anon here who understands
anon 19:29 is right. too many people blabber about something they don't know. i kinda can't understand those people. did they do it so that they looked knowledgeable? or did they simply enjoy going with the hatred-hype? supposedly, if they experienced nothing, they should have nothing to complain about, rite?
ningen suckers...
