Okay, so there's this thing I need to talk about. This thing called »Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII«. 5 minutes ago, I broke it off. Played just a few hours up to now, and I have to say, thus far, it's a huge disappointment. After XIII & XIII-2, I kinda had high expectations in this game. Lightning is basically my favorite video game character of all time. And now this? There's a crap ton of stuff that's wrong with the game, too much to list up, so I'll stick to one topic today: The fighting system.

WHY?! Why did they have to completely fuck up the sweet Active Time Battle?! It was one of the best combat systems I've ever played, what the Hell did they think when they came up with the bullcrap in this game?! Not enough Lightning's on her fucking own, no, even her skills are limited to 4 per armour, so 12 at most. Better even is that some skills are locked and you CAN'T EVEN FUCKING SWITCH THE BUTTON TO TRIGGER THEM! Seriously, it's been ages since I played KH2FM, I am not frikkin' used to O being the attack button! And don't let me begin on the options of cure. 'Cause there are next to none. Combine that with the maximum of items to carry being 6 and blocking being a fucking pain in the ass in this game, and you soon have nothing else left than to pick ›Flee‹ and see a whole hour of your precious LESS than 13 days go to the dogs! Ugh, why, Enix?!

*pant* *pant* Alright, rant over. Expect the next in the next update. I'll play this game to its damn end, even if it kills me.

By the way, next update will be on Wednesday. Setting updates to every 3 days for now.
