I can´t think of anything.

From my own experience from playing: Great graphics, a not so optimal storyline or battle system. I most often just sat there pressing the X button to activate auto-battle and that was that.

Paradigm shift was a nice upgraded version of the FFX-2 system but still boring.

Just not how I want my FF games for some odd reason.

And as a plus, for those Japanese illiterate Maaya-fans or dub-haters out there, the asian version is available.

I don’t hate the game, but I wish trophies don’t start replacing proper side-quests in future FF games. It just seems like a cheap way out… :/

i guess u might have read online already… but yea, it’s pretty much just straight and linear until you can get to [censored due to spoiler?] … rather ‘late’ in terms of story, but not necessarily game hours…

and lol, i like your conclusion, graphics was a real plus for me, but perhaps i was a little easier to impress as i don’t play games much.

and i agree with the maaya-san part XD

The new battle system is nice, but it wasn’t very complicated. Most of the combat was mash auto-battle and take over only when you have to. There were only a few enemies throughout the game that required me to look through the skill selections before acting due to random elemental changes. The rest of the combat was pretty stale for a Final Fantasy game. While I did have to use paradigm shifts fairly often, it wasn’t like I was consistently adapting to a challenging situation. It was mostly rinse and repeat. Buff, debuff, stagger, kill, or tank and heal when absolutely necessary. The game was pretty easy, so the only parts I had a harder time with are the ones where I was slightly underleveled.

I didn’t really like the story all that much, but as a character, I really liked Hope the most. I would talk more in depth but I don’t want to spoiler, so I’ll say I like the way he matures throughout the game.

I don’t feel any reason to replay FFXIII. I’ve put over 150 hours into Tales of Vesperia and I’m on a third playthrough, and I don’t feel like stopping anytime soon. However, one run of FF was enough for me. Despite the amazing CGI, I felt like FFXIII was lacking in every respect, and the only thing that kept me playing was Hope and Sazh’s chocobo.
