I’ve covered what I see as Final Fantasy XIII’s major flaws, but there are still plenty of smaller issues which contribute to the overall disappointment this game delivers. The music, while …

Those are three of the kinder things that can be said of Final Fantasy XIII, a game so poor it needed a direct sequel just to salvage some brand integrity. They’re also disarmingly simple, and…
For me it was the complete lack of customization. I was essentially watching an interactive movie with auto-battles thrown in the mix. Yes, the game opens up after 30 hours but the battle system is still the same, the leveling system is still the same, and the dialogue is still terrible. There is a reason why there were 12 FF’s before this.
“Why Final Fantasy XIII is a Bad Game” by Envy Sat Dec 19, 2009 3:27 pm Criticism of blockbuster RPG Final Fantasy XIII has rapidly mounted, with the initial observation that the game is almost comically linear giving way to a litany of further dissatisfactions, many quite unavoidable even for the game’s many staunch defenders.
The answer is yes, and FFXIII has them, solely to make you use the otherwise useless Sentinel class and the status casters. It may not sound awful, but really, the game is making itself needlessly harder just to justify its own stupid combat system — and that’s broken.
Elderscrolls lore and world detail is only rivaled by like lord of the rings maybe, final fantasy 13 is for old people who lack all motor function skills and enjoy watching paint dry. Quest line is irrelevant to Skyrim because you can play 1000s of hours and never touch it, FF13 that’s all you have unfortunately
It’s a terrible Final Fantasy game. Being pretty does not excuse the game from being 90% hallways, failing to tell the story through gameplay then forcing you to read logs that contain the actual story, and having a lackluster battle system that plays itself.
in my Opinion Final Fantasy 13 is a VERY good game , in some ways even better than Final Fantasy X in others worse the Gameplay gameplay whise they are very similar , run around linear paths , collect “hidden” items , and fight enemies running around , the Game might be a bit linear at first but i dont mind it , imo games that are open world from the start are confusing
Therefore, a CPU with strong single-threaded performance is what matters, not your GPU. The game may even perform worse with better GPUs since they enter sleep mode due to such a minimal load. This is because the engine was built for a PS3 environment (with weak graphics processing, and a strong CPU core), and it was broken even on a PS3. #6
And I can forgive older Final Fantasy’s having simpler stories (something something crystals, fight some bad guys, save the day). Watchung videos about 13-2 and 13-3 actually interested me more since I like time travel stories, and 13-3 seems SO out there that I’m …
