After many months of waiting, I can finally play the game.  Even though, there are people who might dislike it for its linear storyline, I'm just happy to be able to see what kind of action this thing will have. I'm kind of upset that the US market didn't get any kind of special edition packages.  The only one we got was the game guide and the Xbox 360 bundle.  Whoopee do.  Where's my figurines, music CD, and art book?  I think this is the first time that Square shafted the US market.  You may want to blame it on Microsoft.  There were rumors that the only special edition was to be the 360 bundle.  That bundle isn't even worth.  Who wants a face plate of Lightning (looks cheap too)?  It pales in comparison to the white PS3 Japanese bundle.  Well, enough of my rant.  Playing this game will help me forget about the lack of the special editions.
