No post on big Russian wrestlers. Why not? Because I didn't do it. I claim you cannot blame me, due to my purchase of Final Fantasy XIII.
My blogging compatriot over at Everything Except Chickens has pretty much summed up most of my impressions of FF13. The major differences are that I have never played a modern main series Final Fantasy game, where modern is equal to FF7 and beyond. Main series is things that are not tactics and such.
My impressions, as a FF newbie? It's pretty and my demand for more information regarding the story is what keeps me going, but I understand that it is not right. Even to me, the "We will choose your actions and what everybody else in your party does" mechanic is kind of meh. I like having more control. Also, the lack of places to explore is so non-RPG that it's annoying. I understand that this one is different in the fact that it is all about the story. The battles are pretty much just to give you something to do. You can still do that without turning it into something that has no branches.
I'm not displeased with my purchase and I will keep playing it, but this formula should not be stuck to for any sequels or next installments of the series. Come Wednesday though, FF will have to compete with God of War III for my play time. Fighting games will get no love, sadly.
Also, some humor

Not sure if you know this already, but this is what everyone told me (from people to the internet and print magazines): after the first 10ish hours it becomes far more awesome. Basically as soon as you're of Cocoon, adventure starts. Treat the whole Cocoon experience as a giant tutorial with cut scenes.
