9.7/10

One of the best FF's

Pro's:

- Fantastic mythology/lore especially if you read the analects and so on. Lots of potential to be expanded upon in Versus XIII and Agito XIII

- Fabulous cast of characters except Vanille who is one of the worst ones ever. But you have Lightning, Fang who are some of the best ever.

- Surprisingly very good music even though it wasn't Uematsu. Has memorable tracks but sometimes in the wrong place.

- Best battle system in the series that mixes FFX-2 and adds its own elements.

- Good story that keeps you hooked but not the best story by any means.

- Gran Pulse, chapter 5/6/7/8/9 were all phenomenol and some of the best time I've had in gaming (especially chapter 7/8 and 11).

- A few CGI cut scenes leave your breathless (Chapter 11/12 opening)

 

Con's:

- Lack of variety and freedom kills the replay value unless you want to do a NO CRYSTARIUM USE play through.

- Vanille

- The story doesn't live up to the great characters and the amazing mythology/lore created. There is much lost potential in this games story.

- The script/writing

Overall its one of the best FF's and much better than the last 2 Main FF releases (FFX-2, FFXII). 

Ironic that we both gave it the exact same score lol. But like always, I have to come to Vanille`s defense and say that she is one of my favorite characters in the series. Don`t know how you hate her so much Darth lol.

Also, I can`t believe I forgot to mention the music in my post. It is some of the best music I`ve heard in a game this generation.
