kinda sad a 60 hour main-quest game only get a 8.5 in "Last Appeal".

Lasting appeal has nothing to do with length of the quest, it's another way of saying replay value - that's why he specified it was his first playthrough that lasted that long. If you still want to replay FF13 after newer games have come out then it can be said to have lasting appeal.

Good Review, whats Funny is the 360 version is largely getting the Same Reviews as the PS3 Version, i have seen Many times where if the PS3 version of a game Was inferior in anyway It Got a Lower Score. but i guess the differences aren't as big as some fanboys Wish.

Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords

I heard that the missions you do in FFXIII can last you up to 30 hours. Thats replayability worth a 9.0 if you ask me.

This battle system just seems like basic turn-based to me. I get what is suspose to be great about it honestly.

What you mentioned was the "Replay value". Lasting appeal would include both replay value and length of the game.

Frankly, if a game can last you 60 hours, It's more favourable than playing a 10 hour game 6 different times.
