The more I play this, the more I think the dude at Edge who reviewed FF XIII was drunk whilst playing.

FF XIII IS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

LIGHTNING IS THE F*&KIN BEST!!!

Seriously, Chap 5 just showed why I love Lightning and hate Hope. What a HUGE differenece it made for me between when I played Hope as Lead and Lightning as the Lead next.

When I fought with hope, I felt no intensity within the battles. It was almost similar to me just button mashing the x button the whole to get it over and done with. There were actually 3-4 star battles. Then came Lightning deciding to take the Lead and OMFG 5 star every single time till the end of chap 5. Using her is just so awesome and in battle I feel the intensity and becomes no longer a button mashing battle. That's just my take on Lightning and Hope.

Here are my ratings,

Chap 4 - 9.4
Chap 5 - 9.5
Chap 6 - 9.4

+ Interesting story
Cons
- Story takes a while to get going
- Later battles become frustrating
- Learn more from datalog than cutscenes
Overall, Final Fantasy XIII is one of the best games that I have played so far this year. The team at Square Enix has really taken a leap in the right direction for the JRPG genre. They have made a gorgeous game that is fun to play, yet at times challenging and rewarding. The story keeps you interested, as does the characters, and at times there is nothing else you want to do than to just find out what happens next. There are a few choices that I know some long time fans of the series will not like, but for someone like me, who was really only exposed to this series from Final Fantasy VII to now, I have to say that this game stands among the best JRPG's of all time.

 



I got to say this..

In the start of chapter 10 you will realise that FF13 has just started...which actually a good point to have most of the stuff open to you because chapter 11 is just half way into the game (I know it sounds odd)

FF13 is EPIC



THE GAME IS MASTERPIECE

why the hell is it not over 90

This is the most underrated game of ALL TIME!

anyway I agree cthulu chapter 9 was so awesome!

I can't wait to get to chapter 11 & grind

@wagram

hey how much do you reckon I'll have to grind in chapter 11 to fill everyones crystarium thingy to the max?!!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I have a question. :)
What are the items/weapons I can miss in the game?

I just got the Loremaster Trophy !!!!!!!!!!!


@Fab_GS

Actually any Weapon/Item you find you can also buy it. Farmin Gil is hard but not impossible, I think i have spend over 100,000Gil so far



my difficulty opinions for the Eidolons:

 

Hecatoncheir > Bahamut > Brynhildir > Alexander > Odin > Shiva

To max level 4 it will probably take quite a few hours. 10 hours+ to max level 4 is my guess.

Level 5 wouldn't take as long I think because their is a very good way to grind for CP at that level.

None. But I hear it is possible to be able to miss the all items/weapons trophy IF you sell some of your accessories such as the elemental rings. But I have gotten a few of those out here while grinding.

wow thats a LOT of time....I dunno I'll realy be engrossed in the story at that point!

But apparently going into chapter 12 without grinding is suicide....so I might as well go towards platinuming the game & doing as many missions as possible!
