It wasn't that good to be honest. I felt it was extremely boring for a JRPG, the combat wasn't exactly bad but it was pretty much decent. Story, well I stopped giving a damn about the story 20 hours in and it wasn't that interesting to begin with, not to mention the god-awful pacing of it. the characters weren't all that bad(except for vanille) but they're not exactly memorable in the same time. surprisingly, the voice acting was decent for a JRPG(except for vanille), especially Lightning's and Sazh's V.A.

What I really hated about FF13 is its extreme linearity. Now I hate throwing the "linearity" card because there are a lot of RPGs I like that are also linear but at least those games allow me to have freedom, exploration and interacitivity with the world. FF13 offers none.

It's not the worst JRPG I've played but It's definetly one of the weakest.

Vanille is nowhere near as annoying in Japanese, the game is a better experience in Japanese VO in general unless you are not OK without English VO.

Actually, I don't mind Japanese voice acting at all and I would've appreciated if they included Japanese in the game but I only played the english version. Still, even if her japanese V.A is superior, that still doesn't change the fact that her english counterpart sucks donkey balls.
