Why FFXIII doesn't "feel" like a FF game

I'm sorry, but your reasons are a bit absurd. FFXII didn't had any of those as well, guess that FFXII wasn't a FF to you too.

It has all the staples and commonalities of FF, just because it's missing one or two elements, suddendly it isn't a FF? People are way to picky nowadays >_>

FFXII did had those. When you defeat a boss etc. Guess you didnt really play it huh? omg how do you feel? burn?

 

IMO XIII is just a game with the Final Fantasy title attached to it.

Erm, was that comment directed to me? XD

Tough luck pal, FFXII is my second favourite FF of all time, right next to FF6 ;) 

That boss fiight was a bitch!

Actually, Elder Wyrm wasn't as tough as it seemed to be, because you would learn Esuna in Eyrut Village (Fran's hometown). Though, it helped me to have a full party with White Magicks capacities, so probably that was a plus for me :P 

In terms of toughness on FFXII, nothing beats this guy right here:

 
Who can forget his 50% instant death Darkja (25% if you used Auto-Shell or Demon's Shields) or his innate ability to spam Scathe. Plus his Paling and Magick Barrier made for a seriously frustrating battle in the end, if you weren't lucky to one shot him with a 12-hit Quickening plus Dark Hole.

On a side note, where's the guy who accused me of never playing FFXII? :P
