  • Experience the Unity of Speed and Strategy with the Ultimate Active Time Battle system - The familiar system has evolved, granting you the freedom of executing numerous commands in a single turn with the multi-slot ATB gauge; whether inputting singular commands in each slot for consecutive attacks, or expending multiple slots at once to activate a devastating blow, it's up to you to respond effectively to the battle conditions at hand
  • Adapt to the Ever-Changing Tide of Battle with Paradigms - A brand-new game mechanic enabling you to assign roles to your party members at any time during battle, shifting between combat paradigms; consisting of various combinations of the game's six roles, ranging from Commando, the offensive specialist, to Medic, the quintessential healer, paradigms allow you to respond and adapt instantly to any given situation to turn the tide and seize victory
  • Witness the Battle Scene Transform with an All-New Summon System - Introducing Gestalt Mode, a powerful dimension of the summon system that elevates the action to a whole new level; in Gestalt Mode, characters and their transformed Eidolons fight as one, dealing massive damage to enemies through simple button commands
  • Delve into an Emotional Experience - An immersive storyline connects you to an intriguing cast of characters; will they have the strength to confront their cursed fates, or will destiny prevail over all that they believe in

1 out of 5 stars New twist on Final Fantasy; Not the same though   March 15, 2010
Q (WASHD.C.)
This final fantasy takes towns out of the picture, and any semblence of free choice of how to delelope your character. You are basically running through a scripted story hitting "auto-battle" and continuing to run. And you can only go forward. I wish I hadn't wasted my money, FFXII was soo much better.


4 out of 5 stars Worth playing...   March 15, 2010
Yan (Albany, CA)
Pro:
-new battle system (much quicker and constant role changing)
-beautiful graphics
-linear map

Cons:
-slow at the beginning (you have a lot of tutorial and basically pressing "x" constantly through the first 3 chapters)
-WAY TOO MANY cut scenes! (it feels like watching a movie than playing a game. some of them were not even necessary...)
-story is a little bit dull (doesn't make me want to save the city...)

Being a first time playing FF, I have to say it is not bad, but would've been better if they spend some time on the story.



5 out of 5 stars Final Fantasy 13   March 15, 2010
Eulises N. Esquivel (Oakland,CA)
Hi, this is my review of FF 13, well, here we go!
First off, the graphics:5/5
I play the game with a standard 22' television. Even with the small screen, the graphics seem unreal. I played games like MW2, Gears of War 2, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, and the graphics for this game are on par, and even, go beyond some of these titles. If there was an award for graphics, this game would certainly be in the top 10.
Cut-scenes/storyline: 4/5
Okay, the storyline seemed a linear and the cutscenes seemed endless at times, but thats one of the good things of this game. Makes you appreciate the visuals and story as you further into the game. Even with all its faults, you grow attached to the game, and you can't wait to anticipate the next scene or what happens next.
Gameplay: 5/5
The gameplay seems boring at first because it lacks mobility ( Like 12) and feels like mash the A button, but, later on, it grows on you as you have to be strategic at what happens next. With changing classes and creating classes, the game keeps you on your toes when fighting certain monsters because one class may work on one monster or boss, but the other may be ineffective by the class. Feels like FF X-2 and VI's love child in a way ^^
Controls: 3/5
Idk, might be a problem that won't bother others but, the camera is confusing. Miss the old X-XII camera's mobility. Idk, might just be my taste.
Voice Actors:4/5
Not as good as the Jp voice actors but it will do. Should recast Vanille though... My honest opinion, I don't like her voice actor.
Content: 4/5
Its easy to get lost in the game and spend 20 hrs +. Although It is indeed shorter than most final fantasies, ( I spent 100+ hrs on X, VIII, VII, VI) Its a good bang for the buck. Good side bosses and missions. no problem.
Overall: 4.5/5
With all of its faults aside, its easily one of the best RPG's out there for the 360. It was a joy playing through it, and will be doing so again until the next multi platform Final fantasy(or a really good RPG for the 360). Don't be scared to buy it. This game is great in its whole, and can be the best rpg this year( maybe if FFXIII Versus is better). Enjoy the game, and give it time. it will grow on you and it will be a time consumer. ^^ Thanks for reading =)



5 out of 5 stars Good Return   March 15, 2010

As an avid Final Fantasy fan, I'm disheartened to hear people say that FF XIII isn't an RPG, or it's too linear. The game just shifts in a new direction. It simply updated things that made it famous such as the ATB system. I'm already on the 3rd disk and the game opens up a lot so for those of you being impatient must not know RPG's don't make everything "Sugar And Rainbows" in the 1st few hrs.


5 out of 5 stars Finally an RPG that is for the rest of us   March 14, 2010

1 out of 1 found this review helpful

As a teenager I was a huge Final Fantasy Fan. I played Final Fantasy 1, 2, 3, and 7. Loved 2 through 7 the best. About 8 years later I tried to play some of the western style RPGs that have come out. I didn't like them at all. They were way to open, I hated spending so much time tweaking my characters to have just the right kinds of equipment, magic, accessories, weapons...etc. Don't get me wrong this is something that I used to love to do when I was young and had more time.

But now with a family, what complaints I hear about Final Fantasy XIII are the parts that I love about the game. I don't have to spend much time going to shops and tweaking my character. I can spend more time being immersed in the story and battling foes. I like that I don't have to issue commands for all my party members. I can focus on keeping the others alive while issuing different types of battle commands to my leader. I can also set it down for a couple of days and still know what I am doing and where I need to go.

The graphics are the best I have seen on the 360. Even when I am not in a cinematic sequence the graphics look almost like I am. This is an excellent game that should not be passed up for anyone who loves or has loved playing RPG's. I hear that it takes around 50 hours to complete. I am about 5 hours into it and looking forward to the next 45.
