I'll give my opinion on it. And I have loved all Final Fantasy's even the ones people hate. But I do not like Final Fantasy 13, it is true the beginning is boring. And if you are really willing to play for 20 more hours then good luck to you, I did but only because the sphere grid like leveling system is addictive to me. You can grind later on, but it gets boring after awhile. All you do in this game is swap your fighting stance and then hit auto battle. It's hard to come up with a stratagy during battle because you don't get time to pick what you want. The bosses are really hard, and even some regular fights, maybe they arent necessarily hard, but they take forever. You usually have to do what you need to for the first part of the fight to figure out how to kill the boss then you hit retry and start the battle over again more prepaired.
It is a very linear and perdictable game, so far the storyline is very perdictable and find myself saying the lines before they do. And this is the first time I've played it. Basically what you do is run a straight path, with the illusion that there is more than a straight path, for a few hours then a boss battle. After that a new chapter happens, you run another straight line, then another boss battle, oh and maybe a fight with your summon. Even at 20 hours it's only an illusion thinking you are more open up as you get to the surface of Pulse. The mini games are given to you by these flooting things on Pulse. I didn't do them because I don't like doing things on my first run through, I like getting to the end of the game and come back to complete it. And I'm not sure if I can go back. Oh, and summons are helpful, Odin has helped me in some regular fights that would have been imposible any other way, for me at least.
I've only rented the game, and I'm glad I did. Give it a rent before you buy it. You may like it, but just as there are those who like it, there are other who hate it, and not without reason. I'll be taking the game back tuesday, I still need to show a friend the game because he loves Final Fantasy.
