Overall, Final Fantasy XIII is one of the best games that I have played so far this year. The team at Square Enix has really taken a leap in the right direction for the JRPG genre. They have made a gorgeous game that is fun to play, yet at times challenging and rewarding. The story keeps you interested, as does the characters, and at times there is nothing else you want to do than to just find out what happens next. There are a few choices that I know some long time fans of the series will not like, but for someone like me, who was really only exposed to this series from Final Fantasy VII to now, I have to say that this game stands among the best JRPG's of all time.
