    Awesome! The game is great so far, though, the only question I have is: Did it sell faster then Final Fantasy VIII, which sold 2.5 million copies in the first four days?

    98 Hours into FFXIII and still going strong, If i wanted to i could finish it now but i have missions and the 3 other jobs for each character to complete to become super specialists which will take a very very long time, CP needed is really expensive but i’ll never stand a chance against the hardest boss in the game if i don’t, so over 100 hours here i come.

    Final Fantasy XIII has been a blast even though it was very linear i still have enjoyed this game to the fullest.
    I am proud of Square Enix for trying something new even though some of the fans did not agree with it.

    Here’s to Square Enix for a job well done on an amazing series, keep it up and start the FFVII remake soon please.
