Reviews of Final Fantasy XIII Original Edition

Customer Ratings:

I'm about 20 hours into the game more or less and I love it! It seems like it would be difficult to understand at the beginning because of all the tutorials but it's easy! Yes it's linear but that's not a big deal to me. Got it on time. Great game! If you have an HD tv get an HDMI cable. It makes a great difference in the graphics. Music is spectacular and plot is tremendous.

This game has some great and fine qualities that are overshadowed by bad development.

ABT (Action Battle Time). Taking turn based gameplay to the next level of if you're not paying attention, you'll lose and fast. Now, this is a feature I actually really enjoy, because it requires a lot more strategy over normal turn based games.

Free roam? Huge worlds? Don't count on it, FF XIII is extremely linear until the very end where the world opens up slightly. You will be running down what seems like never ending paths. Don't get me wrong, the scenery is beautiful. Square Enix never lets you down on breathtaking worlds that can you leave you watching cutscenes over and over.

Class system? It's beautiful. You can't freely pick abilities like in other games and class advancement is linear. However, the ability to change classes live in battle on all characters (setup as paradigms) is crucial to your victory in the game. If you're getting pounded by some flying monster just switch to a tank, healer and buffer. You're good to go for a revenge all out offensive in no time flat.

Personally, I would recommend this game if you can get past the idea of linear maps and running for hours. If not, skip over it.

I Love this game, i don't mind the "linearity" of the game, because ALL JRPG'S ARE LINEAR! Plus the story is great, the characters are awesome, and graphics are phenomenal on the 360. I was lucky enough to get the LTD. Edition for the game and game guide for XIII-2, and plan on pre-ordering Lightning Returns Final Fantasy XIII later on this year. "Die-hards" don't like this game, i say get over yourselves, and admit this is a GREAT game, and more than worthy of the title Final Fantasy.
