Its a decent FF, but the plot is not that good neither the gameplay. The system is not fairly exploited unless you plan to play the end game, which has a lot of farming involved.
What's great about it: Graphics and content (counting end game)
What's not so great: Story, character development, repetition
I would recommend this to a friend!

If you have seen the trailers to this game then you know how great it looks. This installment of the game seems to fully use the ps3's horsepower as much as it can. The graphics are amazingly detailed. With so much space on the disk, Square-enix developed a new fighting style on the game which catches every single movement that the character makes. Although this is just one of the two games that Square-enix is making for the ps3, versus is being developed by the same people that made kingdom hearts and final fantasy VII: Advent Children so we can expect to see more in this version than the other final fantasy. Both of the games are said to be set in the same universe but happening at different times. The pink haired character from the other final fantasy installment seems to look like Yuna from Final Fantasy X and X-2 but she could be someone else. Both games seem to be great so we can expect to see more of these games soon and hopefully there will be some sort of limited edition that comes with both games and more, so be on your toes fanboys.
What's great about it: Amazing use of the ps3's horsepower, new fighting system, 1 of 2 final fantasy games to come out in the same month
What's not so great: not much i can say right now

Most dissapointing game in the FF series

I LOVE the Final Fantasy Game series... III, VII, VIII, and XII are some of my all time favorites, which is why FF XIII is probably the most dissapointing game I've ever played. It really isn't an RPG... it's a series of three fights with a HORRIBLE battle system followed by 20 minutes of cutscenes then repeating. There is almost no challenge to the game at all... you're really just kind of watching an interactive movie. They really dropped the ball on this one. If you ae a fan of RPGs don't buy this game, you'll probably hate it. Amazing graphics cannot hide a boring story and terrible battle system.
What's great about it: Graphics
What's not so great: Terrible battle system, ridiculous cutscenes, boring story
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After such a long wait for the game's release, I was quite certain that the game wasn't going to live up to my expectations since I had so long to hype it up in my mind, but to my surprise, it was just as good as I had hoped it would be. There were plenty of cut scenes and a pretty good story line. The ending was a bit confusing and didn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but was at least thought provoking. I'm glad that the folks at Square Enix took the time to really perfect this game. It runs smoothly. There's really no latency and the graphics are great.
The game play is fun. Half way through the game, I determined that I needed a strategy guide in order to properly upgrade my in game weapons. It was also needed in order to defeat some of the optional bosses. Unfortunately, by the time, I purchased a strategy guide, I had already completed most of the first half of the game, which you can't go back to. The later content can be revisited as much as you want, however, and is really probably where you would stay anyways other than to search for secrets that you missed.
One thing that I found odd was that part of your abilities don't unlock until after you complete the main story line. Anything you do after that is really just surrounding further character development, increasing abilities and weapon upgrades, which in turn helps you defeat even more monsters, which you would not have been able to beat during the main story line.
That being said, I loved the game, and although I have already beat the main storyline, I intend to keep playing a few times a week until I can fully upgrade the character weapon upgrades. This is definitely a must have for final fantasy lovers.
What's great about it: Plenty of content, battle system was pretty dynamic and kept battles from being overly mundane
What's not so great: Needed a strategy guide to take advantage of content, could not revisit early content

from Long Beach, CA
I started playing the Final Fantasy series with FF7 and every since then, Square Enix has yet cease to amaze me... except FF X 2 and FF XI. I can not wait until the release of FF13 and FF verses 13. That is the only reason why I will buy a PS3
What's great about it: Everything, its a Final Fantasy game. Whats not to love
What's not so great: The wait on the release date

Finally the long awaited FF game is out. For a long time players of the FF series this game may throw u for a loop..(but only if u are not open 2 new things...in my opinion.) The battle system has been completely re-done. I, who have been a long time FF series player, (since super nintendo,) like the new battle system. It's different and i think a nice added twist. There are no towns, which i miss, and leveling up is a cross of FFX and FFXII...(Sphere grid from X, and the checker board, from XII.) They did bring back the job classes though, in a way but when u get the game you'll see. The graphics are sick like the swine flu, and the dialogue, and character voices are on point. Bottom line be open minded when u play this game and u wont be disappointed...FF Lives on...
What's great about it: Everything so far...
What's not so great: The fact that some write it off b/c it's not what they're used 2...smh

First off, I have NEVER played a FF game - ever. The only RPG-esque games I've played are Fallout 3 and Oblivion (and those aren't true RPG). I have to say that after playing FFXIII for 6 hours, I'm now a believer. The graphics are stunning and the severely linear play is far from annoying. The combat system (of course totally new to me) is slick and fast paced and the enemies have a decent level of difficulty.
I am totally in to this game and have a new appreciation for RPG's. Some of you who are FF veterans have had negative things to say about the apparent radical change from the past FF styles, but for a newbie like me, I have to admit that I will no longer hesitate to play RPG's. The only complaint I have (and it's a small one) is the constant monosyllabic sounds and grunts the characters make, but hey, what type of Japanese anime/games don't include that?
This is a holler out to all those who poo-poo RPG's or have never played a FF game... this game will get you hooked! So clear your calendar.
What's great about it: Amazing graphics, fun fighting system
What's not so great: Nothing... yet

I have read many gaming reviews and after a while they start sounding the same; linear, good graphics...blah blah. They all focus on the linear part of it and it typically gets about a 8-9 out of 10. Thats all garbage. If anyone has really played other final fantasy games, like VII, they are all pretty "linear" to keep you on the story line, it's just that other games had the world map to travel on. Occassionaly you could stumble into an area ealier that you "should", but you would be defeated by the strong enemies that were there anyways.
I have not gotten there yet, but I am told that the game really opens up towards the end of the story, and once the main story is complete, you can do all sorts of missions, at your own pace. Since I take my time to level up, I am, according to the strategy guide, about half way through the game with a logged time of 25 hours. Not to shabby! And it was all fun along the way. That kind of quality is a rarety in video games these days!
My best advice is to by the game, don't let others tell you whether you should or shouldn't by it. Judge it for yourself. My guess, you will love it too!
What's great about it: Graphics, battle system, story, length; just plain fun
What's not so great: I want to keep playing it....
