Nice review. I really, really want to play this; however I just bought Assassin's Creed II, and Mass Effect 2...and a bunch of other games :-/ At any rate, I will be picking this up at the first good sale price...and it might just float to the top of my "to play" pile!

I never played a Final Fantasy game, except the first minute of FF 7. At that time I hated RPG's, which is why I didn't play the best one ever made. DAMN IT!

Oh wait, I recently picked up 3. It's OK, I still think Chrono Trigger is better so far.

Thanks , yeah thats understandable , i planned WAY AHEAD to keep my gaming schedule clear for this game , its hard to play an RPG from start to finish with other games in your way



same here! But the story is well alone a 10/10! This is my first FF game and I love it so much a bought a ps2 for all the old ps1 and ps2 ones!
THIS IS SUCH A BAD SCORE!

Play Final Fantasy X, Xenosaga, Kingdom Hearts , Legend of Heroes (PSP), Star Ocean (1&2) ... and MUCH MORE and youll see why in comparison but this is all just what i think as someone whos played alot more JRPG's



cant forget about star ocean till the end of time

this :)


but yep, FFXIII's story is hardly worth a 10/10 score. once you've played plenty of other RPGs, then you'll understand why lol. it's good, but not worthy of being called 10/10.

Xenosaga will have you poop yourself and wet yourself at the same time :p

This review does great justice to a game that I'm not sure most people get. It has its share of flaws but I just can't fault a game for trying to be different (story and battle system wise).

I think you gave it a fair score and only have one critique - how could you forgot xenogears, legend of dragoon, and the SMT series (they deserve the mention though I just saw the disclaimer "MUCH MORE", I bet it was in case nit-picky fogies like myself happened by XD!) Nice job!

Although I skipped around the review because I didn't want to catch a spoiler just in case, I think this is a really good review! I'm about halfway through the game so far, and I'm having a lot of fun. Though I can't wait to grind out all my achievements after end-game :(
