SPOnG’s Final Fantasy XIII Review

SPOnG writes: "Let me get the first reason off my chest as to why I believe FFXIII is geared towards the layman: the battle system. It’s hectic, so hectic that at times I found myself mashing the A button despite it having no control of the on-screen action. Employing the Active Time Battle (ATB)system, your character has a timeline which builds up during the course of battle allowing you to chain together a series of attacks, once those attacks are over it goes back down to zero. The gauge fills up with pace and you rarely find yourself twiddling your thumbs."
