SK says: "To sum up, Final Fantasy XIII as a whole is worthy of a stroke, mainly due to the excellent battle system, absorbing visual experience, unique style and excellent fine-tuning the details.
While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.
Alex Donaldson: "Hindsight is a hell of a thing, however, and in the years since Final Fantasy XIII, my respect for the decisions its developers made has skyrocketed. In the two Final Fantasy titles since we see both the brilliance and the folly in alternative approaches - and in Final Fantasy VII Remake, we get a more nuanced understanding of what FF13 was trying to accomplish from many of the same development leads."
FFXIII is actually one of the best Final Fantasy games.
I also sort of was disappointed at the time, never as much as the bandwagon. But really all the fantastic 3D rendered cutscenes and I actually liked the characters and the story though convoluted was actually fantastic and the ending was extremely emotional. So much budget and time were put into that game Square had such big plans, I actually have always felt kind of bad for how things played out.
I have been thinking for years how great it would be to get all three games on one disk for PS4 or 5.
i liked the game alot but i didnt like how they handled the terminology.
i dont mind reading data logs but it had soo many.
but i always loved the music and how it looked. the battle system wasnt too bad either.
but i like 13-2 more :)
i still dont understand why we never got a remaster of the trilogy
XIII is a pretty solid game, but XIII-2 is WAY better. XIII-2 was one of the few games I decided to go for a Platinum trophy in, early on. Had so much fun the entire way through getting it too!
I hated this to when it released. I haven't much liked a ff game since ff10 as much , aside from ff7remake. I decided to give it another shot on my series x since it's not on a current ps and was liking it quite a bit(just takes me some time to get over things ) until star ocean 2 remake came out I was all over that.
Square should definitely remaster it or something for ps4 ps5

A site that isn't trying to reap hits with a bad review~
Hmm...his cons are plot and soundtrack? Those seem to be my two favorite things based off what I'm hearing. If that's the case, I'll love this game. Good review, too. Glad to see FFXIII finally get a good review!
Well yeah, no game is perfect. Assassin's Creed II has a myriad of problems like it being way too easy, combat mechanics, and it should of made you feel more like an assassin. Everything on the map is spoonfed to you, you're supposed to be an assassin, find these things out for yourself. But I disregarded those flaws and as is it's one of my favorite games of 2009. I'm sure FFXIII will be quite similar in my book.
The battle system itself is fun as hell, that's what kept me into the game. The plot is eh...average, the soundtrack was great. If you like to fight, this is probably one of those fun FFs to battle in next to FF5 and FF6 in terms of variety of things to do and how fast paced it is.
