Absolute garbage. Three things stand out to me having completed this game: exploration (garbage), story (strong moments, mostly weak) and combat (garbage). Exploration is of course hallways. It's actually just hallways. Anyone who compares this to FFX is either lying or incapable of critical thought. FFX had minigames, it had branching paths, and moreso it had a narrative that justified that linearity within the gameplay. FFXIII just has... nothing. There is no pleasure to be had in exploring this world, because you're not exploring it. You're walking down a corridor so you can hit flags to trigger cutscenes. The story does have its moments. People are overly harsh on the use of fantasy terminology, the opening chapters do indeed have a habit of throwing words at you undefined, but later have a character very bluntly define that word, sometimes multiple times. Similarly, people are overly harsh on Vanille's writing, she is very obviously and intentionally written as a naive outsider, and that does pay off in her twist background reveal. The best part of the story was when Lightning turned to Hope about a third of the way through and said 'wait we're cringe, we should stop being cringe' - the characters were very justified in being cringe, they were teenagers and young adults processing a series of very traumatic events, and I enjoyed the story of the highly JRPG-coded way in which they processed that trauma - but once they achieve that character growth the story has another 2/3 of a game where all six characters are just friends setting out to save the world from Mr Big Bad. Combat sucks. I minimised auto of Auto-Battle so I could be as engaged as possible in the combat. I was still exhausted of spamming A, because the optimal move was to do the same thing five times in a row. I was still exhausted of my allies not targeting the enemy I had just staggered. I was fed up with the lack of menu QoL features in a game so menu-heavy, such as button buffering, and an enemy list so I could see debuff timers of all enemies. And, when I did use Auto-Battle, I was frustrated with how frequently the game would queue AoE attacks in single-target situations. This game is an embarrassment for SE. Of the modern FFs, this is perhaps the worst - definitely worse than XVI and XII, perhaps beating out XV. Sazh was the only consistent redeeming quality: as a responsible adult and advocate of sensible bedtimes, he brought something unique and appreciable to this JRPG party.

great story, bad gameplay

補丁+鎖幀都玩不了 還不能無邊框4k 😭

the greatest game

I'm still currently playing through Chapter 11 and just got the Chocobo so I can get some gil and upgrade my equipment. Interesting story, memorable characters and great music but I really don't like the combat which made me drop this game so many times and finished other Final Fantasy games instead. I kept coming back because I really wanted to see the story through. I also had to download the English voice and FMVs since there's no language options available and some mods for better performance and some light graphical improvements. [h1]COMBAT[/h1] Maybe I'm just playing it wrong but the combination of the camera moving around constantly during battle, no control over movement of the party members (especially against a group of 5 or more enemies) while trying to keep the party leader alive because if the leader gets downed it's game over (which is a first I've seen in FF; at least the ones I've played and just WHY is that?) and I would start the entire fight again plus the stagger system which I hate so much makes every enemy encounter feel like such a slog and just stresses the hell out of me, essentially micromanaging simulator. But what I really liked about the combat which is the Paradigm Shift which is basically on the go Job switching. I've seen people really like the combat in XIII and I've tried to like it but I'm already in Chapter 11 and I don't think it will still pick up from there. The equipment upgrade system wasn't explained that well in-game and I had to look up how to efficiently upgrade my equipment and understand how it works. The bunch of gacha games I've played was easier to understand than what FFXIII had with it's one sentence explanation in the menus.
