I might get this game, but I'm not sure. What is the gameplay like? is it anything like Final Fantasy 13? I don't play many turn based rpg's so based on what i've seen that's the only thing I can compare it to. What's it like? Should I get it?

Xenoblade has much in common with Final Fantasy XII, as opposed to XIII. It's an open-world exploration-heavy game by nature, and the battle system is real-time with many MMO-like elements. There's also several modern gameplay amenities like fast travel, a relationship system, and the ability to set the time of day.

Whether or not you should get it depends on how you feel about large-scale JRPGs in general. If you love spending well over 100 hours exploring every corner of the (utterly fantastic) world then go buy Xenoblade. I don't think you'd be disappointed.
