Would like to try

Hi there,

Even though the Xbox Live Gold trial subscription is free, we need a payment option on file because the subscription will renew to a paid Xbox Live Gold subscription unless you cancel it. You must add a payment option such as a credit card or PayPal to your
account for it. If you don’t want a paid Xbox Live Gold subscription after your Xbox Live Gold trial subscription ends, you will need to cancel it.

Hopefully that answers your question!

Many critics put down the game in terms of it's linearity. The game does open up in chapter 10 or 11 when you hit Gran Pulse. During that chapter you have to grind real bad (like for a few hours) in order for your characters to reach a high enough level
so that you're prepared for the final chapters of the story. When I hit Gran Pulse first time, my characters only had around 1,000 HP when I reached Eden they had like around 3,000+ HP.

Everyone praises the GRAPHICS and the BATTLE SYSTEM. The games native resolution is 576p for xbox and 720p for PS3. But both xbox and PS3 can upscale the graphics up to 1080p. But some including I argue that some of the cutscenes in the xbox version look
1080p native due to how good the graphics in the game look! XD Especially the ending cutscene in the game where Coceden turns into a crystal pillar the Lightning and the gang are on Gran Pulse. THAT cutscene looks 1080p native on xbox.

To sum the game up, there are two worlds at war. Cocoon and the humans who have fal'Cie who look after them. And Gran Pulse the untammed world. Cocoon is a futurisitc paradise artificial planet-like sphere where people live inside it, filled with highly
advanced technology.

You didn't like Resonance of Fate? I actually really enjoyed that game, some parts have a bit of humor, while others serious. Anyway, if you can devote atleast 50 hours to Final Fantasy XIII story completion then I would consider buying it. Also there will
be a demo released for FFXIII-2 for xbox on the 11th. PS3 gets it on the 10th.

Dedicated servers is considerably worse. I live in a rural area, not metropolitan, and the nearest server base is over 30 miles away. It makes the P2P connections look like heaven lol.
