Lightning Fates are a disgrace to the series, and a broken promise? SPOILERS

[amnie]

I did the whole chain and it was underwhelming.

I'm thinking this was just a marketing ploy, an advertisement for FF13 w/e.

eh... it was officially called a cross-promotion. of course it was just marketing


edit:
you know, I just did something I never thought of doing

I went to amazon.de (Germany) and checked the ratings

FFXIII has a rating of 3 1/2 (360) or 4 (ps3) stars. how the hell does that equal to 'everybody hates the game'?


granted the ff titles up to X had higher ratings (except x-2, it 'only' has 4 stars as well)
but I'm fairly sure that's still related to the nostalgia factor, because most of these reviews were written waaaaay after the game originally came out and I'm pretty sure most people who didn't like FFvi-ix 10 years ago will never bother to write a negative review about it.
