I was somewhat disappointed to begin with but after having played pretty far into chapter 11 I can honestly say that I am now extremely disappointed. Its become an action game with only minor RPG elements and in my opinion FFXII stands head and shoulders above XIII in all ways (except visuals of course, then again, FFXII has perhaps some of the best visuals on the PS2 ever).
Final Fantasy has always had a somewhat cliche story with cliched characters and there haven't been huge leaps between installments in general (save for X-2 and XII that is) but they've been enjoyable, deep and immersive. FFXIII just feels dead and you can't interact with anything or anyone, there's no life or zest and all the depth has been replaced with an MMO like auto fighting system.
I'm sorry Square Enix, but if this is what this series is going to be from now on, I will stop buying Final Fantasy games after more than fifteen years of loving the series to bits.
