Business and Pleasure

I've been playing some FFXIII lately while studying for a few of my Microsoft Server 2008 certification tests, so I haven't had the time to fully dedicate my attention to the game. All the same, it has proven to be a lot more interesting that I first thought.

Don't get me wrong, the cinema is amazing, but the first 20 hours or so really do seem to play a lot like an extended movie with interaction. This is visually appealing but left me feeling a bit left out of the playing experience.

As the game has progressed, I have really enjoyed the idea of upgrading my weapons and accessories and it makes me wonder if this is perhaps a ploy to get us ready for the new play-style and progression system that will come with FFXIV.

I'm still holding out for my Final Fantasy 14 beta invite for the PS3. I haven't even looked online to see if there are reports that they've started that phase yet. I guess I'm a bit nervous to find out that I missed the boat. I'm still keeping an eye on my email inbox, just in case!
