Haaaaa! I certainly appreciate your passionate condemnation of FF XIII, even though I disagree with the general sentiment. The thing though, is this: I have posted about my love of this game a few times over the years, on this site, and in other forums, and whatever level of detail I may have been able to go into at those times, is now largely lost on me. It's been a WHILE. Many days have passed, and I've played hundreds of games since I completed FF XIII. I can neither adequately refute your claims, nor present enough of my own ideas as to why i liked it so much. At this point, most of what remains is simply the idea that I liked it. And I did! There's no denying that. The only things that I can remember truly disliking are: The VERY slow start to the proceedings, which almost turned me away before things got rolling, and the obnoxious post-game, item drop lottery plat grind.

Nostalgia's a powerful thing! 

Oh, and yes, saying 'it gets better 20 hours in' is not a good thing to say about any game, even one that could last you 100 hours or more. FFXIII is the catalyst for the "Rule of 13", which means that if a game hasn't interested me after an hour, I stop playing. if it hasn't grabbed me after 5, I won't play. So it has one hour to pique my interest and if I don't love it after 5 I give up. I have too many games on my shelf that are waiting to be played, I can't waste 20-25 hours on a game I only kinda like. If a game wants more than 5 hours of my time it has to be pretty good. 

That's why I like shorter games, now. I'll play the occasional epic, but for the most part I prefer my games to be 8-12 hours, max. 

I got off topic. I'm sorry. My hatred for FFXIII is legendary, and I gave XIII-2 a 5.2/10 on this website back when it came out (which is better than the 2.1 I gave XIII in my personal rankings) 

It's not nostalgia though. I liked it as I was playing it.
