There is a ton of reasons I could think of, that makes Final Fantasy XIII a bad ass game. But I only have time to post a few, so here goes:

#1: The best F-ing graphics in a console game I have EVER seen! Mass Effect 2 was pretty, but this game is freakin GORGEOUS all around. Doesn't matter what part of the game you're at; fighting, running around, cut scene, fmv cut scene. The game looks LEGIT.

#2: No more open world. I don't know about anyone else, but I hated running around in the game. Stopping in towns...for once, the linearity in a game is welcome. FF games are huge and long to begin with. I don't need, or have time, to run around the world in a ff game.

#3: Characters and story are very well developed. Nothing in the game touched me emotionally or anything, but I was entertained none the less. I cared about the characters, even tho I thought snow was going to be a punk ass **** turned out alright in my book. Oh yea, Vanielle is not annoying to me. I don't know why people think shes annoying...

And there you have it! I might post more later. Now I'm off!
