Maybe it’s a good thing Final Fantasy XIII is delayed
Well, after I calmed down and took a few deep breaths, I began to see that maybe the delay in Final Fantasy XIII’s release isn’t totally a bad thing. I remembered all of the issues with Infinite Undiscovery and The Last Remnant. Both games felt like they were rushed to get on the shelves, and as a result, they had some technical glitches, an overall feeling of incompleteness, and received very poor reviews. Perhaps Square Enix will use this extra time from the delay to ensure that they deliver a quality product to the masses. Maybe this one won’t feel rushed (and dear God it shouldn’t; they’ve been talking about it since 2006), and it won’t be as sloppy as the others. No one will say that this game had potential if not for blank. Final Fantasy fans will be just as happy as they were the day they played Final Fantasy X, and Xbox owners will be thrilled to finally have a decent Square Enix RPG for their console.
Isn’t it pretty to think so?
I, along with many other RPG fans, can only hope it to be so. If this game has gameplay-ruining glitches after these delays, Square Enix will have no one to blame and zero excuses.
