Haha, WTF? I suppose that explains why the storytelling in FFXIII is reportedly so piss poor and why FFXII was virtually like an offline MMO.Thank Christ that their (Western world) Eidos studios are pretty much autonomous of the execs in Tokyo. Deus Ex 3: Human Revolution would probably be like a zillion times worse than DX2: Invisible War otherwise.
I've heard that FFXIII takes like 20-25 hours before it becomes good and that the storytelling is incredibly poor, completely lacking in exposition. If you want to know the background info, you apparently have to read an ungodly amount of text in an encyclopaedia-esque tome. LOL, if your game takes 20-25 hours to become interesting then you've failed at your job, regardless of the genre.
