FF13 is the anti-FF12. Everything is different. I loved FF13, even with Vanille and the linearity. The story is very strong, and the game is gorgeous.

It is objectively the worse FF among the 3D ones.

Bro, most of the hate for this game is all like 'this ain't a replica of FF from the 90s with better grafix so therefore its crap'. If you look at it for what it is it's actually a very enjoyable game.

It's terrible. I wouldn't waste anytime on it. You will buy it, get so bored and it will hang on the shelf for two months until you build up the stomach to finish it.

You must give them some slack...It's FF 13!! 13 is an unlucky number! I wouldn't doubt that during production, a lot of strange and awful things must've happened to them :P.

IMO FFXIII is one of the worse titles. I couldn't even finish the game. I'm going to leave at that without creating a huge rant lol.

I found the game to be enjoyable for what it was. I didn't hype it up in my mind to be the "next best RPG" like most I know did.

I wouldnt take youtube comments too seriously. Read some reviews from sites you like, maybe a strategy guide to know what the battle system is like. Then its up to you. I just started FF13 and I like it so far. Maybe its because its my first FF, i dont know.

Yeah it's a good game. Just not a great game is all. It's well worth the 30 bucks at Amazon.

I'm about half way through the game and I love it!!! Some people find the characters annoying but I don't mind them. The story isn't the best FF plot but I really like it. I've got a Dissertation deadline on Friday as soon as I've made that FFXIII is gettin' finished!!!

For what it was, imo, yes. In terms of providing side content and a coherent, well told story, no.

As and old school player of the Final Fantasy franchise (been playing since the first one of the NES), I can honestly say I absolutely adore this game. It's right up there with 7 with me as far as overall fun factor. However, Squee-nicks will never top those SNES FF's, those titles are absolutely phenominal.

PS: FF's 8, 9, 10 (and 10-2), 11, and 12 were complete garbage imo.

Wasn't quite a fan of FF13 but I do think it's still a decent game I guess and since you have the 20 dollar credit I'd say go for it.

I'm also a long time player and I agree with this (except for the part about 8, 9, and 10 being complete garbage). It's not the same as old school ff titles and I doubt it ever will be again but it is a fantastic game that is totally worth picking up.

FFIX and FFXII completely trash XIII....In fact FFIX is what Final Fantasy should be. Not the J-Pop crap it is now.

How is FFXIII "j-pop?"

The only series that I can really call anything remotely "j-pop" is the Persona series, for its ... j-pop.

Can't argue with you there (this is coming from someone who has put in 100+ hours in P3,P4 and own the soundtracks)

FFXIII is far far worse than XII Final Fantasy is dead.texasgoldrush

Some of the handheld games are amongst the strongest i really suggest playing Crisis core that game takes a massive dump over a lot of games tbh.Same with FFT war of the lions both are pretty recent aswell.FF is far from dead sure its had a few duds over the past while but every series is like that at some point.

FFXIII is better than XII in my opinion i prefer how the linearity actually drives the game forward at a good pace and it doesnt really feel like you have to grind till your balls come off until your let loose on pulse.

EDIT oh i atually remember you now...if its not a WRPG then its no good and mass effect is teh best rpg evah *rolls eyes*

You're mistaken. There are good JRPGs. Their names are Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy VI, and Suikoden II. That is all.

well I got much farther into 12 then I could with 13

the characters are so annoying that it just make me want to skip the cut scenes whereas ff12 were so dull I skipped them too so its hard to say which of these games is really worse then the other one

like I said I don't understand all the ff13 hype the gameplay is not very entertaining, I have a lot more fun in kingdom hearts an ff6 ff7 ffx an those ones

its like ff12 you control one character the other ones do their own thing and you can see the enemies and you run into them its basically FF12 sci fi with more extroverted characters an a story that is just a bit too Final fantasy spirits within for my taste the story is like spirits an crap again I dunno some people are saying this is their favorite FF and thats one thing I will never understand not sure how many other FF's they've played and how this one toppled their old favorite i will never know

I enjoyed it. I actually liked the combat more than any of the previous iterations, except I didn't like what they did with the Eidolons/GFs/Aeons; I actually liked the FF8 summons from the FF titles I've played. The linearity was also welcome, as I'm not a fan of random battles at all except perhaps Pokemon, so only having to run along paths was great. I actually thought the open part was one of the least interesting parts in the game. The story was great as well. I especially liked Sahz & his story.
