At the end, is FFXIII good enough or not?

Final Fantasy XIII takes some time getting used to the gameplay and the battle system. It is more accessible to all types of gamers. Over 100 hours of gameplay to complete the game to 100% completion provides a lot of gaming.

Downside 20 hour compulsory tutorial through chapters 1 to 10 before the game picks up in its late chapters. The game has 64 side missions and game opens up after reaching chapter 11. Plenty to do after finishing the main story.

The linearity of this game makes it hard to level up in the first 10 chapters of the game.

You don't need to grind for the first 10 chapters.  You need to grind on Gran Pulse(Chapter 11) because Chapter 12/13 would be impossible to do otherwise.

 

I think the lack of traditional towns and the linearity for the first half of the game makes sense story-wise.

Grinding 11 is hard for me for some reason, whole game was EZ-mode, and get to here and it's like holy crap.. well, not most of the enemies, but those Behemoth Kings.. man, they heal and then they 1 shot Lightning (and she has between 2.2k and 2.4k health) - Maybe I should put Snow in my party as leader, he has over 3k... hmm

The only real way to beat them is to hit them with a pre-emptive strike, then juggle them. There is an isolated one near the exit if you were to progress through the story. Just sneak up behind him and then destroy him once staggered

They always turn on me, or they are with those damn flower guys and they spot me :(
