FF XIII is Demon's Souls doppleganger. One is a mediocre game with no pedigree made into a magnificent cult-classic by fantastic direction. The other is a well known IP with oodles of love and effort poured into it, ruined by terrible direction.
Also, XIII's plot or vocabulary was not incomprehensible. I understood the plot fine the first playthrough, never reading a single datalog. If anything, it spoon-feeds you the vocabulary early on; it's not incomprehensible. It's just bad.
