The graphics, story lines, and characters are what make the video game so amazing. The games takes too long till it begins, but its still worth. I recommend it to any final fantasy fan, and whoever likes action RPG games.
What's great about it: The graphics and the twists during the game take you out of your comfort zone.
What's not so great: The game takes to long to start being intrestiong, it take like 2 hours till the game actually begins, but besides that

Good old Final Fantasy XIII, takes quite a while to get its momentum rolling but once it does it gets pretty good with its addictive battle system. The first 20 or so hours are completely linear and while I see what they were trying to do with the pacing, it still didn't quite fit the game or make it any better. The story is pretty weak although the characters are quite alright with Lightning being an interesting protagonist. The battle system is fun and its saving grace. While the game isn't perfect, I still spent over 100 hours in this world.
It is worth buying and having in your collection just keep an open mind and don't expect old school Final Fantasy.

There have been reviews across the board for this game-- lots of good, lots of bad. That's always confused me, which is why I waited until now to try out this game. Now, the majority of positive reviews mention that it "takes some time before the game really opens up". I really hope that's true, because I think I'm about 60 hours in or so of rinse and repeat battles, and the gameplay really not offering anything exciting at all. Based on where I am in the game right now, I do not recommend the product.

Like everyone who is a fan of the series, I, too been waiting so long for this game to come out. What a disappointment. This game makes baby Jesus and baby Elvis cry.
The first part of the game is nothing but movies and tapping X constantly. The characters constantly gasp during movies, which is frequent and annoying. Gameplay is way different. If your lead dies then its game over, can't revive them or swap, other characters are just support. People want to know what the battle system is like. It is one big CF. Its like the old ATB in FFX mixed with a sad watered down gambit system in FFXII. Way watered down. After two hours worth of movies and tapping X alot, you will finally get to level up. I'd like to explain it but like the storyline in the game, it doesn' make sense.
If you like typical RPGs leveling up your character, exploring, and tons of options for character enhancement, this isn't your game. It's very linear and more for showing off graphics. If bright flashing lights and weird noises distract you easily from actual gameplay, this game is for you.
Huge disappointment.
What's great about it: Graphics are incredible
What's not so great: EXTREME linear gameplay, Annoying Characters, More like watching a movie
