Many of the hardcore Square and Final Fantasy fans hated this installment of the Final Fantasy series. I, however, absolutely loved this game. The game is definitely one of the best RPGs for the PS3/360. From the music, to the battle system, to the weapon and accessory upgrading, all of it was stupendous. Not to mention the game looks beautiful. The battle system can be somewhat complex at times. It's an easy battle system to learn, yet hard to master the techniques because the battle is always changing. The only bad thing about the game is the story and the characters. The story makes no fucking sense whatsoever and the characters are a bit annoying at times. Lightning is a female Cloud, Snow is a pedo, Sazh is a stereotypical black man, Hope is a pussy, Vanille is crazy, and Fang seems like a lesbian.
I loved this game so much that I Plat'd the game not only once, but twice (for those of you who don't know, when you Plat a game, it means you obtained all the trophies for that game and received the platinum trophy). The first time took me roughly 110 hours. The second, took me around 60 hours. I'm thinking of doing a perfect game playthrough which would consist of obtaining all the treasure, maxing out the Gil if it's possible, having at least three of the highest tier of accessories maxed out, and having at least one of each variation of ultimate weapon for each character, which would be 48.
Now before you start bashing on my for loving this game, let me tell you that I have played the previous Final Fantasy games, including the following: I, II, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, X, X-2, XII, Mystic Quest, Tactics, and Crisis Core. But none of those have the same feeling like XIII does.
So what are your thoughts on the game?
