Battle system has great flow and keeps you involved.

"Don't know why people hate it"
5 stars"

I found this game really fun to play through. The limited amount of time to finish Side Quests and the Main Quests brings a bit of a challenge to the game and stops you from messing around. Also the battle mechanics are very different to XIII and XIII-2 and I think Square made a good choice of changing it. All round fun game to play.

"A Really good game"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A great continuation of the FF-XIII Series. This game still has me playing it even today. Its not over in a flash like some games but keeps you busy with side-quests and character building. I fully recommend this game

"FF XIII ends not with a bang, but with a whimper."
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The only, only, only reason to play this is if you sorely need a conclusion to the series. Not once did I think “I'm enjoying myself” playing this game.

"Okay-ish"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It's alright, but not excellent. It's different, but not as fun as the previous FF 13 games.

"Terrible"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I bought this game with low expectations and still found myself disappointed. It is not an enjoyable game in any sense. The time limit means at no point in the game can you relax and explore. It also means any mistakes feel like they are compounded as you have used up valuable time. The quests feel pointless, the story line is terrible. The battle system is a backwards step from XIII-2 which itself was a backwards step from XIII. The only redeeming feature is the quality of the graphics, if only you could take some time to enjoy them. I didn't think FF could do worse than X-2, but they have and by a significant margin.
