Final Fantasy XIII, it's not as bad as I thought

Mostly cause there hasn't been a great FF game for such a long ass time and what SE led us to believe with the XIII trailers was nothing like the final result and with every move that SE makes, it makes us Facepalm harder... just wait till u play FFXIII LR

And there are tons of other reasons like linearity,  stupid battle system, unlikable characters , some terrible story elements and plot holes, etc

I wasnt a fan of the series yet when XIII was coming out, so I guess I didnt fall for any hype trailers that SE may have shown. Did people really think this was going to be the next "great" FF?

Of course, it was a new mainline Final Fantasy game that was gonna be on the new consoles at the time. I think the hype for the game was understandable considering some of the quality of other FFs.
