No. it's a fun game however... its far from the best. the guy who wrote this is on something.
Reasons ...
1. irrelevant.
2. Your joking?
3. FFVII, FFVI, FFVIII, FFII > FFXIII > All the others.
4. Fucked up the game as a true FF fan, FF was always about world maps in the originals, so were towns, Versus XIII will have them, whats the excuse for FFXIII besides laziness?
5. This is a mixed bag... by FF standards yes... it most certainly is the best battle system... which is sad... because its so simple.
overall i disagree, the game is good and fun, but it does not deserve to be called epic, thats a damned understatment to.
