OPMuk have given it an 8/10

From what was said in the print, it sounds like it counters a lot of my issues with 13 it self.

Apparently there are more, I just didn't realise the thread that said "5/10" was a reviews thread cumulating all the different scores.

GT amongst others gave it an 8.8/10

May want to change the title, there aren't that many "negative" scores. An 8/10 is certainly not bad.

I kind of wish he would change the title. if you can do that, because I got confused too. and I was the one giving him the scores. haha.

There's been numerous places that gave the original a high score, and said this is a lot better. And yet, gave this a lower to much lower score.

I loved XIII personally.

but, my thinking is, is that some of the reviewers didn't have the balls to give Final Fantasy a lower score before. Which is not a good reflection of said reviewers.

It's just kind of strange for the original to get 9's, and stuff from certain players. Have them say its a much better game. And it gets an 8, or 7.5 or whatever.
I know the quality of games changes with time. But, honestly I can't say JRPG's have taken off as opposed to 2 years ago.

From the reviews I have read it says they fixed a lot of the problems from the first one but its still not groundbreaking.

a part two of a game I didn't like, does not become a game I want to play by fixing a few things and changing others.
