Is FF13 really good? I need a non-biased feedback.

I've read a lot of feedbacks about FF13 and majority of it are good. Is the game really good or are the feedbacks I've read came from FF fans?

I need an honest feedback, like from an FF fan who didn't like it or a non-FF fan who likes it.

I'm still 50:50 on getting FF13.

have never been a fan of fanial fantasy, But this one loked really good so i got it last night i cant stop playing it. It starts off a little slow but really picks up after an hour. Sooo yeah its a really good game and worth the money.

They might ask you to move this to the sticky. I've only played a handful of the final fantasy games in the past so I don't know how to compare it to those, but here are my plusses and minuses. Keep in mind I'm only 3 chapters or so in. Plusses so far: nice graphics (always loved the imagination in Final fantasy games), excellent story, great music, great characters, fun fighting system minuses so far: Linear, not much customization to do on characters, incredibly easy at least so far I'm enjoying it and in the end I guess that's all that mattersEmperorSupreme

I hope they won't move this to the sticky. I'm having a hard time determining of the feedbacks there are biased or not. Hehe.

I've played FF games since VI and I can say for sure that this is by far the most different experience of all of them so far. To me it feels like they tried to stream line everything so you spend more time fighting and in the story than in menu's. Its not necessarilly a bad thing but i was hoping that there would be a bit more depth than what there is here. From the fighting standpoint you only control one character and the other two are controlled by AI. Like I said its streamlined and if your like me and want to feel in complete control then its going to be a bit of an issue. Its funny because in XII they basically said how can we make them micro manage whereas XIII they took a lot of that control away. But because its a quick system that is pretty flashy its at least aesthetically pleasing.

The characters and story all start out pretty slow, not because the story is slow but because they throw a lot at you in the beginning and that makes it very hard to follow what going on. About an hour in there is a significant part in the story where it all starts to click and you finally realize whats going on. From there on it grips you pretty hard and you'll be playing pretty much to find out what comes next.

So far i'm about 3 hours in I'm enjoying it. Its not the greatest experience i've had but its definitely getting better as i continue to play it.

i am not a fan of ff, and honestly i thinkthis game is mediocre. Chaotic storytelling,2 dimensional movement, bad camera angle, unsatisfied battle system, and uninteresting plot. characters are also hiliarious...their gestures are so tedious...i dont like japanese subculture, so I found it being very stupod. At first, i was mad at gamespot score. However, after i start to play it, I think gs actually overrates it.

If you like to watch japanese animation, you might like this game. Otherwise maybe you should rent iy, borrow from friends, or wait for it become greatest hit.

Idk what I would do without it in my collection. I really enjoy it, now I love the FF series, but i was way skeptical and sorta wanted to hate 13... cant its too fun haha.

Heres one for ya. Metacritic says the word LINEAR 12 times on the page!

Ive played every single FF up to this point and beat them loved them its why i like rpgs the most. This game is close to suck. The graphics are amazing no doubt. The combat is fast and fun, but doesn't it feel like all u press is X. Your attacks adjust themselves to the best situation based on groups and weaknesses. Doesn't that seem a little skillless? What about these tunnel single pathways? Even later on the pathways open up a little but they truly stay as linear as ever. I can live with the upgrades and skill gains, but the feel so empty. Im just pumping points without really noticing a difference in them. 1 fight, 1 cutscense its almost the way it is for every fight. Remember when a cutscence came on you were excited. They were good. Now these are so often it feels blah. The story at least carries some mystery and doesn't give everything away. Im sure you got some secrets and sneaky stuff going on to reveal itself in a good fashion.

Overall the game was a letdown. You can only travel down the same path for so many hours before you want to blow your brains out from fighting the exact same fights over and over with very little to no reward.

I play it nightly and i plan to finish it, but only with hopes that after 12 hours it will get better. There ya go. I'm a fanboy with no respect for a game that doesn't deliver. Many agree and then some just look at the pretty colors and are just amazed. Anyone for a real taste of FF and RPGS knows this is nothing like what gamers want.
