Â From it's terrible characters to it's completely uninteresting story, I had a hard time staying awake while forcing myself to finish this game. Â Then there is the 20 hour long hallway, which no one can possibly defend without saying "but it gets better after 20 hours!" Â And finally the lame battle system that has you just mashing X as your characters do everything for you. Â This game was an insult to the Final Fantasy series, and the only thing I liked about it was the comic relief character with a giant afro and a bird living in his hair. Â He was the only interesting character in the game.
And it only gets more insulting to the series as they pumped out more crap from this universe. Â The plots just get worse and worse. Â I'll tell you what good came out of it though. Â I used to hate FFVIII. Â Now I have a whole new appreciation for that game. Â It was my least favorite for years, but at least it looked like Final Fantasy, it sounded like Final Fantasy, and played like Final Fantasy. Â It had its share of difficulties that made it one of my least favorite in the series, but at least it still has the heart of a Final Fantasy game. Â FFXIII does none of these things. Â There is so little to like about FFXIII unless all you care about is pretty graphics. Â
I remember saying the exact same shit about VII years ago. Except replace comic relief with "the only black character I've seen in a RPG at the time".
Just sayin'.
