It's not a good game. It's bad. Very very bad.
It had loads of potential but it was rushed and catered to teenager retards.
Its only reedeming features are its production values. The art, graphics, music and concepts are top notch, and the combat system is well designed and enjoyable, but everything else is shit.
You're pushing your left stick forward bumping into enemies until the screen fades into a stupid "worst birthday ever" cutscene and then fades out again so you can push your stick forward some more.
That is not how jRPGs work. I replayed Breath of Fire II after FFXIII and it was hilarious to see how a 15 year old game shitted all over XIII in every single aspect except in budget.
XIII feels like something that was put together by people who never played a good jrpg.
It's easily the worst Final Fantasy ever, and a truly shitty jRPG. I'm not touching XIII-2 with a 10-foot pole.
It's a shame, because XII was glorious, even with all its shortcomings, shortcomings that I blame on Matsuno's departure and the suits taking over. XIII is just a shallow and brainless pos. Square Enix is going to get fucked in the ass and it's going to be entirely their fault.
