Just finish the game last week.  My least favorite Final Fantasy game from the series.  Vanille and Hope is so annoying!

Real game starts when you get your crystarium and can use paradigms at the beginning of the 3rd chapter which happens around the 3 hour mark.

Took me 50 hours to finish the game, so the tutorial covers around 6% of the game, 10% at most.

biggest dissapointment for me this gen

 

It's nothing more then decent and that is only beacuse of Vanille, if it wasn't for her this game would been even lower on my dissapointment list.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Wrong, the tutorial ends at the start of Gran Pulse. Lets say about 25 hours on average about half the game, so lets be fair here. Now once on Gran Pulse, you have the option of doing side-quests, and leveling up your crystarium. And if you're hardcore you'll complete all your ultimate weapons by farming gil and that ridiculous rare drop item to upgrade weapons. Maybe 30-40hrs on that? So, do you see what I'm coming with here?

looool the tutorial has ended loooong before that. Just because you get some tips at the beginning of the chapter doesn't mean the 20 hours before that are tutorials....

Everything important you need to know to play the game happens during chapters 1-3.

Only new thing you can do at Grand Pulse is doing the side quest. Everything else was already available 20 hours earlier.

uhhh, that's just pulse.  you get everything but ability to to switch party members a lot earlier (like FF4).

If you're talking about where it's not linear. Then yes not till pulse.

But linear =/= tutorial

i didnt know you liked it so much darth... i personally think that it was about an 8 maybe 7.5, and i think FF12 was a superior game. didnt really think Lighting or Fang were that good, they were just OTT, not realistic enough like Fran or Ashe, imo. i thought the characters in 13 were an evolution of FF10 characters, who i really didnt like. anyway i could go on and on about why i thought 12 was better, but i wont, the music was incredible thou, really good.

does anyone else dislike the way the Kitase is taking the series. i mean in FF13 we do walk foward - battle - cutscene, repeat. i think there were far too many cutscenes, about 6 hours worth. i think there are more ways to tell a story, and gameplay is one of them.

Because I liked it much better than FF12, looking at many user review averages across the net (including this sites) I'm clearly not the only one.

FF13 was much better than FF12 in its story, battle system, character development, world/lore. And battle cut scene repeat isn't a problem because I love the battle system and I am invested in the story/characters

And again I did state in my post but due to that replay value is cut down by a lot.

And FF13 is Toriyama's game, not Kitase's, you have a misconception there.

Kitase's FF's were FF6/7/8 (he directed those FF's).

Toriyama's FF's were FFX/X-2/XIII (he directed those FF's).

Some of those were co-directed darth I think, atleast Toriyama's maybe some of kitase's too.

Wait who the hell directed 9? Matsuno directed 12? and Sakaguchi Directed 1-5
