5. It's ok, but it doesn't bring anything unseen to the genre. It's worse than in FF XII, VII, X, and X-2. Not to mention JRPGs other than Final Fantasies.
4. JRPGs are by standard very far from your Dungeons & Dragons, real RPGs. To put it simply, JRPGs are not RPGs. Even if the characters or their equipment gather levels it doesn't make the game an RPG. Nor do world maps, towns, random NPCs, or quests. FF XIII is an action game disguised as a JRPG. It's one of the most simplistic JRPGs ever, in a way, the culmination of JRPGs.
3. I beat Final Fantasy XIII and I'm still waiting for a story.
2. Sazh is the only likable character in FF XIII. He is actually one of the best FF characters. I just wished Vanille and Hope were cut from the final build. I mean geez, when FF X came out I thought Tidus was the most annoying FF character eva, then came Vaan but FF XIII took the cake with not just Hope but also Vanille. I'm a grown man, I've played games all my life and I've been a Final Fantasy fan ever since FF VII was released in Europe, and I don't want to look at a preteen crying over his dead mother. Come on Squenix, you came up with Sazh and then gave us Hope. As Kratos himself, slayer of gods, put it "Hope is for the weak."
1. This point has nothing to do with Final Fantasy XIII being the best in the series. There is a reason why Final Fantasy X-2 has a higher metascore than Final Fantasy XIII, it's simply a better game.
