Oh no, kill me now, every point you made was completely game breaking and definitely not present in other Final Fantasy's.

...Your obsessive hating is really starting to become a nuisance now, you're grasping at straws too.

"You die a lot"...Seriously? I thought most of you FFXIII haters insisted that FFXIII was too easy? So what if you die a lot, battles aren't trial and error, it's one of the only battle systems in a game I have played where victory or loss boils down to skill, not level, unlike all the other Final Fantasy's I have played. And also, you are making death in FFXIII a bigger deal than it actually is. If I die in Final Fantasy XIII, the only time I lose is the time I spent on that battle, 20 minutes max on very rare occasions when a boss kills you at the last moment.

As a comparison.

In Final Fantasy VIII, I grinded through Ultimecia's castle but couldn't find the last monster so I could unlock the save ability. I fought all of Ultimecia's forms and died on her last when she had 5,000 hp left, losing 2 and a half hours of progress due to an overpowered and lucky hit and the fact she stole all of restoration magic.

Why don't you call Final Fantasy VIII "the worst game evaaar!" then? Please tell me, which battle system is ACTUALLY broken?

Don't be so narrowminded.  I didn't say that each of these on their own was a game breaking flaw.  Each of them on their own is forgiveable and understandable, but when you have a combat system that is fucking you over at every turn for one reason or another, it is a broken game. Explain to me how I'm grasping at straws here.  I gave very clear reasons as to why the game is broken and all you can say is 'that's not enough"?  Yeah, it doesn't work that way.  I have a rather detailed list of problems with the game at the very basic level (not even bringing in my personal distaste for the art direction, music, graphics, or story) and it's still not enough. 

Look, I've said multiple times and others have backed me up on this:  like it or not, I'm the one going through and explaining what about the game is broken.  Instead of whining about how YOU failed to find the save point, how about you take some time to actually argue my points instead of acting arrogant and claiming it's not enough or just covering your ears and screaming "nuh uh, you're wrong!" 

The ball's in your court.  If I'm wrong and these things are not an issue, then prove it.  offer some counter-arguments or debates rather than just telling me I'm just a hater or that I'm grasping at straws. 

IT's not so much to ask that a game works and relies on the player's skill rather than having events decided by random chance. It's not to much to ask that the game not be marred with countless issues. 

As I mentioned, jsut becuase you have the steadfast determination of a retard slamming into a wall, it doesn't mean that I have the patience to force myself through bad game design.
