No, it's a horrible game. (obligatory "IMO"). I haven't played Lost Odyssey, but it has better box art so it has won already

Even though I haven't played it, I believe the title belongs to Demon's Souls.

My experience with FF13

Got home from gamestop

put it in my PS3

Played it for an hour

got in my car

drove back to gamestop

Got a refund

Spent my cash on more enjoyable games.

Haven't played it but Looking at Reviews Those JRPGs in Japan that are in my Sig (The Last Story and Xenoblade) are better than FFXIII.

no, LO and even the dreaded tales of vesperia were better... makes me sad to have to say that about a FF game. but FF13 was a step back in everything except graphics.

FFXIII is great, one of my favorite games this gen, but Tales of Vesperia is even better imo.

I liked FFXIII better than any of the other JRPGs from this gen, but I like last gen JRPGs better, like Persona 3 & 4, this gen has nothing that compares so far.

As far as I'm concerned the best one is Enchanted Arms or Nier.

Neither received good scores.

Edit LO loses on account of a weak main story, (screw your dreams, give me an interesting main story), and FFXIII loses on account of being too uninteresting.

SRPG not JRPG. If SRPGs are taken into account then yeah, VC, Disgaea and Fire Emblem are the best.

Just remember that it's one of those games that provides you with an actual reason to replay it for a second time. You're going to be able to understand what the shades are saying and you may not feel all that heroic ;)

FFXIII was very good though I don't know about best. Still got some JRPGs this gen I have to catch up on.

That plus if NA gets lucky and NoA gets smart and releases Xenoblade and Last Story I could see those games being better.

That responce is hot. :P

And even though LO Had a somewhat bland story, I still loved the characters and environment, so IMO It's one of the best JRPGS (Hint, i've only played about 10 JRPG's, so don't take my opinion that seriously,)

Yeah, two playthrough's are essential and afterwards you don't feel particularly good ;)

Edit: Honestly, this game is cruel :? Happiness is shortlived if you get any at all. I especially feel bad for a certain woman because she won't ever fullfill her desire ;)

Nier is'nt heroic in the first place, he just wants to take care of his daughter.

However, Nier is about more than him and his daughter and life is cruel ;)

Honestly, it's the best game story this gen.

crimsonman1245
yeah im sure every game has its flaws here and there, but I doubt every game has over 9000 flaws everywhere like FF13 that said, no tc, we cant say that because FF13 is a disgrace to both the franchise, the genre, and gaming itself

It wins on box art and also the fact that LO is a much much MUCH better game than FFXIII.

No kidding. Every new selection was like "Does this match?" or "Agh why do these colors not go together!?:cry:".:P

I probably spent more time selecting outfits than I did customizing my guns.:lol: Which would explain why I'm barely killing things effectivly.:?

Play 7 and 10. Then you will see why its one of the worst Final Fantasy games.
