so funny, have you got to chapter 11 yet, because it opens up at grand pulse you know and you get to pick your team other than that, i love the battle system, and the graphics and that's where the game ends for me, the story was so average i even liked the WKC story more and that is saying something, have you tried WKC??

Did you read her entire post? She mentions that. Graphics doesn't mean anything. Games like Final Fantasy, Only story-telling and gameplay matters.

This post is one of my many reasons why i will probably never play a final fantasy game ever again.

Did you read FF_Fanatics whole post where he clearly stated "I love the battle system" which is a part of the gameplay not graphics einstein.

I have seen you stealthily negatising FFXIII without even playing it (not that you have a console to play it), you even went as far as to say "The PS3 version will never make it to 4 Million". Your last sentence is incredibly silly.

@OP

This game is one of the best games of all time.//Sorry it has the lowest metascore

The battle system & story being its greatest merit(a terrible truth? i miss my mom story is been reused in this FF). The linearity gave me the feeling ofbeing trapped that the characters feel, the fact that they need to run away(They are anime cliches). The story was extremely intricately crafted( ok falcies miss their momi so they will kill everyong so she comes back, very deep). Yes you can only control one character, yet that was the best part of the battle system(GTA best RPG ever then?), managing what the other team mates did & co-ordinating attacks, startegising, I loved it( you have 6 options, 6, i only used 3).

If you dislike auto battle, simply change it, there is an option to take off auto battle, use the option and stop complaining, if there wasn't na option you are at full liberty to complain.

The narrow linear path was very well done( i agree, very well narrow and linear), to me it didn't seem that narrow actually, in most levels it was pretty wide (apart from chapter 1, 10 and parts in others( out of 13)). The linearity helped me feel how trapped the characters must feel to be cursed and to flee, the story & character development during the linear levels is some of the best I have personally seen. The genius to couple Sazh & Vanille two different personalities & see their interactions & emotions(????) clashing was a treat.

If they have insulted the minds of gamers why is the game pretty difficult towards the end? Just because you control one character & have limited scope for micromanagement means they have insulted the minds of gamers? ridiculous ( they were right about you apparently).

Next your complaints about the story are downright silly. If you use sarcastic humor in that way any games story, even Planetscape Torment's (Peak of storytelling) story can be made to sound like a joke. And no Fang & Vanille are like sister's, again you lost a chink of your credibility with that childish paragraph.

You disliked the game, fine I can accept your opinion, but don't come in here saying the game is made for retards.

This is the first Final Fantasy I have played and it ranks among my best games of all time, thanks to this game the franchise has a new fan.

It seems Squenix was right about you.
