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.

hope is bettr in english VA and so is sazh. I hve played both versions. (1up reviewer also sed he liked hope more in english version becaus of VA).
Lightning is gud in both, snow is gud in both, fang is gud in both. Its only vanille who is definetly much bettr in jpnese.
Bt the reason for tht is she is a japanese chracter, ther are girls like vanille in jpn. so it is easier for voice actor.

I don't know about Hope since the mentality from him is completely different in Japanese vs English, it's like he's 2 different characters for some reason(prolly due to dialog change, they did quiet a number on him,) but English Sazh does have the top notch dood doing the VO so I'm not surprised, well, he's actually black to start with, kinda hard to do that right with an Asian dood lol.
