Final Fantasy XIII is not a good game. I don't just mean it's not good in comparison to other games in the FF canon. Nor am I saying it simply fell short of the expectations built up over its four years of development. It's not a good game, full stop. The characters are not likeable.
A cocky self-proclaimed hero with a charming sneer and a heart of gold. A sultry, no-nonsense ally you can rely on for a sly quip and a warm hug. These characters sound like standard role-playing stereotypes, but to Final Fantasy XIII's credit, they transcend formula and wriggle into your heart.
A diverse and mostly excellent cast of characters; A great original world; fleshed out by a compelling story; Fun combat system keeps you on your toes; Magnificent production values
Exceedingly linear exploration and character progression; Vanille will get on your nerves in a big way
Final Fantasy XIII is set on the world of Cocoon, a world that is controlled by magical beings called Fal'Cie. These beings control everything from the climate to food. The citizens of Cocoon are content with this arrangement and see the Fal'Cie as their guardians.
Square Enix invite us to take part in hectic battles featuring a bunch of great characters. But is this really a welcome evolution to the classic RPG series?
Fantastic characters; great graphics; amazing environments
Shamelessly linear; streamlined gameplay; monotonous
An artistic masterpiece, with a story just as fantastic, does Square-Enix hit the spot again?
Fantastic visuals; Brilliant voice acting; Deep, enjoyable story.
Extremely linear; No freedom until 30 hours into the game.
