Good ol' RPG, what else you want?!
Okay let's start off with the fighting system, it's the good ol' turn base style, but with a twist. And I love it!, It gives you more combinations and which character is the best suitable with the others, choosing the right characters in a battle situation will definitely put you in an advantage against your enemy.
The story I think is generic, it's not original, but it's good enough for this game. But the character development is amazing throughout the game, you will hate some character, but you will love most of them!, I swear trust me :P
The bad thing about the game is exploration, I think it's very limited.... but that's the only downside that I see, I just wish the devs made it more challenging where to go, map based.
I could go on forever with how great this game is, but sadly I have to play the game right now. Hope this review helped you in some way, have fun!
FF13 ROCKS!!!
