The editors didn't like

  • Cliché (and sometimes irritating) characters

  • 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:  Final Fantasy XIII is one of the most anticipated releases of the past two or three years. As it dropped through the post box I steeled myself for at least a week lost in a world of futuristic Noh theatre. This feeling was enhanced by the circulating r...

  • So what did I think to Final Fantasy XIII? It wasn’t what I was expecting but it still left me with the normal joy I get from playing Final Fantasy games. There are a lot of changes that have been made to the game, especially in the battle system but t...

  • Beautiful graphics accompanied by an impressive soundtrack, Rewarding levelling up system, Intuitive combat system which encourages hard hitting agility and tactical placement
  • Some annoying voiceovers, Less side-quests than would be appreciated, Annoyingly constrained for a majority of gameplay

  • Final Fantasy XIII is so pretty, it almost hurts. The fast-paced combat is handled well and keeps things moving nicely, but it doesn't feel like a true Final Fantasy game, and the "Super Pope" boss is ridiculously unbalanced. Flawed. AJ Glasser, Gamep...

  • Stunning graphics, battle fighting system, soundtrack
  • Very slow start might bore some gamers
  • The more you go on, the better it gets, but should you really be forced to slog your way through many hours of mild tedium before you really start having a good time?...
