Hi there VG community,
Even though I ve reading almost every day the website, I ve decided to become more active, so from now on I will try to share useful comments with the community regarding anything that matters.
Now, my favorite RPG is Final Fantasy 7, and what I liked the most, besides the story, was the levelling, exploring new areas ang getting all the secrets. Now, I have been reading that FFXIII is more linear than its precedesors, but I what really care is if it has plenty of weapons to level, or magic, or secrets things, mini games, that keep me busy. I would like some opinions from the people that have played it.
See ya!

Well, the FFXIII experience is fractured into two different flows. Pre-Chapter 11 and post-Chapter 11.
Pre-Chapter 11 the game is fairly linear in terms of story development and how you progress through Cocoon, but it has a heavy focus on the history of the characters and the links between them, which it does very good mind you, probably one of the best FFs to put together a very good connection between the main characters.
Post-Chapter 11 you'll end up in a huge open area and that's where FFXIII starts to seem more like previous FFs, yet it's starting from chapter 11 that the really plus side of FFXIII shows, the battle system. Also, the conclusion to the game and the final development of the characters is pretty good.
There aren't any mini-games except chocobo digging and a short robot guiding minigame on chapter 4, but there are 64 missions to do, and pretty much every weapon and accessory can be leveled up, upgraded or broken into new weapons/items/accesories.
Also, if you're going for platinum, you're going to spend much time in the game. Currently i'm at 101 hours and I'm on the final stretch for platinum/1000
