It's not a great FF game, but for $8 you could do a LOT worse.

It's not bad, really; and I rather enjoy the endgame

...The story is just really dumb and goes no where

It's ok. It was fun when I got it on ps3 like a year too late and didn't have much else to play at the time. Got the platinum on it, but it was a bit grindy.

See, I really enjoyed the super-linear story up until it opened up, and then I lost interest.

Yes. Not the best final fantasy but this site tends to overhype the hate for a game.

As with other series though it seems to be a case of hate the newest entry as now you see people saying its good and hating 15. I recall 12 being hated on heavily as well here when it was new.

I think it's an absolutely terrible game but 8 bucks is cheap enough that it's worth figuring out if you'll like it

I've seen the same thing happen with the Zelda series... That said, I've always like XIII. I had a ton of fun with it...

And even when the Zelda games came out, I still loved them...

Yeah I think people have even dubbed this sort of thing the zelda curse. Where the newest always gets the most hate. Hell since skyward sword re released ive seen some claim its the best zelda when even with botw around I saw most people saying it was the worst. It was between it and botw I saw most often sited as worst

I remember all the hate Majora's Mask got when it came out. But I love it. Then, people seemed to love it when Wind Waker came out. But hated Wind Waker for it's graphics. Then they loved Wind Waker when Twilight Princess came out. Though, if I'm being honest, I don't remember Twilight Princess getting a lot of hate... But I also didn't pay attention as much to how people were reacting to the game...

I remember TP getting hate for being too dark and gritty for a zelda. People thinking the wolf thing was lame (which that was my least favorite parts of the game) and I think some people tried slamming it by calling OoT 2.0

Its probably my favorite in the series though.

Now that you mentioned it, I think I do remember it being called dark and gritty. And I definitely remember people calling it OoT 2.0. And I think many people didnt like the wolf parts

No the characters and the plot suck, the same damn obnoxious song plays through 90% of the game, and the gameplay is just mind numbingly boring.

Worst FF game I have played.

Sazh is one of the best final fantasy characters around. And for as much of a super serious bitch lightning is it made me really happy to see her smile for once at the end

I'll give you the story is mediocre compared to most final fantasy games though. But I really did like the lore. Only reason I was dissapointed in XV being changed from versus XIII they removed the lore where as type 0 for some reason changed from agito XIII and kept the lore

12 was hated because it was the first FF game that wasn't turn based.

It was though.... It still had the atb system used since 4. It was just quicker paced.

Final Fantasy XIII was okay for one playthrough. For $8, you can't really go wrong. There's a somewhat fun game in there. I actually enjoyed the Paradigm shifting and crap.

I remember some of the bosses or even enemies having some insane HP. I think the Adamantoise enemies have like 15 million HP or something? I don't remember it's been over 10 years.

it's good, the combat is really fun, obviously most of the game you run in a straight line so you are missing the element of towns and exploring that you can find in other FF games. but everything else is there. XIII-2 is good too.

Those are monster hunts which take forever to do. Way too much grinding to actually get all achievements.

Yes, its a good game. Don't believe all the critics about the linearity. Its JUST as linear as FFX was. In fact XIII might be less linear since at one point the world does open up for some exploration. There was almost none of that in FFX. The story, while good, can be kind of confusing at times so you'll definitely want to read the little journal thing in the game that helps explain some stuff better. I will admit the character Hope was extremely annoying. And Vanille's voice got to me at times. However, Fang, Sazh, Lightning, and Snow were all great characters.

I never got the hate for hope. I won't argue hes a great character. But he was ok.

Sazh though is one of my favorite FF characters

I think he was fine. He only 14, so he's still really young or whatever... I can't say he was my favorite character, but I didn't hate him...
