Final Fantasy XIII first 30 hours impressions

Here is my Final Fantasy XIII impressions. After spending 25 hours with the game i can say this is a great and fun game but nothing special. The first thing you will notice wile playing the game is the graphics, they are not the best out there but are one of the most beautiful to look at, very colorful and pleasant to the view. So far the game is very, very linear compared to other FF titles and many RPGs. Despite getting the illusion of a very deep and big eviroment wile moving the camera you are restricted to go in a direct direction. Basically the game progress by moving from point A to point B battling monsters then a scene play. After the scene the same process repeats.

There are some things about the game i don't like too much. The first one is no villages to visit with Inns and stores, instead of visiting a store to buy items and equipment you do this now with via save points where you can even upgrade weapons. Some of the Eidolons battles, they require a specific fighting methot to win and are more of a trial and error process and Boss battles can take a lot of time to finish.Aside from this the game still is a great and fun experience.:D

The battle system is fast, fun and keep you engage in battle. At first the battle system will sems simple but wile the game progresses the number of ATB stocks and the variety of attacks and magic increse making the system more deep and open.:D
