The editors didn't like
Cliché (and sometimes irritating) characters
Uninspired save-the-world plot
New battle elements make the game too easy for experienced RPG players
Game world lacks depth
Story is too linear
It's doesn't feel like a true Final Fantasy game
The "Super Pope" boss is ridiculously unbalanced.
Slow-burn tutorial lasts dozens of hours
Finger-down-throat characterization.
Relentless repetition
ATB system eliminates involvement
Minimal gameplay stretched over 3040 hours.
Exceedingly linear exploration and character progression
Vanille will get on your nerves in a big way
Very few extras
Relatively short
Tunnel Vision
AI partners can be annoying at times
Story takes a while to get going
Later battles become frustrating
Learn more from datalog than cutscenes
Too much moaning!
Confusing and complicated menus with highly repetitive upgrading
Over simplification of battle controls and more story than game play. Too much menu management with too little action reward.
Abstract: The heroine from "Final Fantasy XIII" will make her return in a new action/role-playing adventure this February called "Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII." This final chapter in the sub-arc has her battling a devastating enemy force while keeping the ...
Abstract: If sales promotion were any indication, then Final Fantasy XIII would be the God of War. Square has relentlessly been plugging away at pitching the first installment in its Fabula Nova Crystallis series (read: cash-exploiting monolith), bombarding Ja...
In the end, this game gave me the same feeling that I got from playing Devil May Cry 2 many years ago. I played through the game relentlessly, waiting for it to get good. In the case of DMC2, that never happened, and I was left with a horribly sour tas...
Abstract: Final Fantasy. A game franchise that by name alone is known throughout the gaming community and even among the general public experiencing the popularity of similarly famous titles such as Street Fighter, Mario and Sonic. That the game is now in its 13...

Abstract: Final Fantasy is a series that is constantly undergoing evolution. With each game’s world being completely independent of each other, Final Fantasy XIII has the opportunity to re-invent itself like a phoenix from its ashes. Far away from the tales of ...
Abstract: The wait for Final Fantasy XIII has not been an easy one. The game was announced in 2006, shortly before the release of Final Fantasy XII, which would be the last PS2 game in the series. Developing a next-gen installment in the prolific RPG franchise t...
Abstract: Say what you will about Final Fantasy, but this is one franchise that has never been afraid to make drastic changes. After years in development, Final Fantasy XIII is finally here but not everybody is going to like the new direction for this venerabl...
Amazing graphics, visual, costumes and cut scenes, glorious soundtrack, fairly decent story, interesting attempt at a real-time battle scheme and many hours of game play.
Confusing and complicated menus with highly repetitive upgrading, over simplification of battle controls and more story than game play. Too much menu management with too little action reward.
Abstract: The wait has been longer than I can ever remember. Nearly four years after the last major title in the Final Fantasy series, and the first on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, we finally get a chance to play entry number XIII. As a fan of the series, it ...
