Its too incredibly boring. All auto attack and change paradigms once in a while to defend against a major attack or heal. There are basically 3 commands you have to master to play the game. Imagine playing a game of rock-paper-scissors for 40 hours. It gets boring. Once the gameplay falls short like that, wether you have a good story or a living world, will always fall short. FFXIII was a terrible game that deserved 3/10. FFXIII-2 does deserve somewhere around 6/10. |
That's just your opinion.
The gameplay is a lot deeper than you think. Sure on the surface it might seem like its just auto-attack but what about what happens before the battle? Picking the right monster for your party/paradigms and equipping the right accessorries...etc. You can't just auto-attack your way througout the whole game.
