Final Fantasy XIII (is better than God of War 3)
I just bought Final Fantasy 13 which is so far very player friendly and has gone through immense effort to make the game easy for the player to understand. I only bought the game for a few super Cyrus-like reasons
1) Final Fantasy games operate on the scale of my dreams, a similarity that if found in anything usually causes me to fall in love with it. (Like Avatar and the Tales games)
2) I have an obsession with games that have themes like the Tales games. FFXIII’s is “Those who resist the world” which is one of my personal favorites.
3) I’ve always wanted to play a game that’s designed to make it’s players suffer immensely in boss fights. I’m not masochistic, I just love challenges :D
And as a note to Haywad, although I love God of War games, I would never spend money on a game that didn’t challenge me. As a general rule, I only buy challenging games that have a rather impressive amount of creativity put into them.
