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
