    Stagger mechanics and the visuals safe it. Great head turner, even to this day. The art style boosts the looks of the game where the graphics lack.

    The best FF in the series. There is no FF with that many challenging bosses and there is no FF with a mythology as deep as this.

    I would give this game a 10/10 If Hope was not a pathetic whiny little **** boy and Vanille actually contributed to the story and plot other the being one of the several crystal girlfriends that one time. Otherwise Underrated Final Fantasy Game.

    Incredibly boring corridor guided jrpg with action elements. By far the worst and least engaging FF, took a lot of steps back compared to even the now almost 30 years old entries for the sake of simplifying the gameplay. Another example of publisher trading creativity and innovation for marketing driven goals.

    The most empty final fantasy game ever
    This linear corridor simulator with an even more trash plot than the recent last entry made by Nomura and the idiot YoshiP

    Easily the worst Final Fantasy game
    A trash tier jrpg with garbage characters and garbage gameplay.
    Without any city and without any kind of exploration at all
    Just stay away from this train wreck mess

    One of the few Final Fantasy games I consider S-Tier. Strong characters, laser-focused writing, and a deceptively deep battle system make for my ideal Final Fantasy game.

    Peggior Final Fantasy di sempre
    E peggior jrpg realizzato nell'era PS3
    Il consiglio che vi dò è, state lontani da questa spazzatura
    Atrocemente pessimo sotto tutti i punti di vista

    The worst Final Fantasy game easily

    while the game is admittedly somewhat rinse and repeat gameplay wise (lacking variety, no towns or NPCs) this game is a psychedelic fantasy sci fi with bold style, loveable characters, and great combat. every landscape in this game is incredibly beautiful, and the soundtrack is one of the best OSTs ive ever heard.

    muy mal videojuego, lineal, las batalla son malas, o tiene casi nada de rpg, personajes genéricos, lo único bueno es la banda sonora,

    Un pessimo gioco sotto tutti i punti di vista.
    Trama stupida oltre ogni senso logico, personaggi scritti malissimo, gameplay automatico, zero esplorazione (visto che sono tutti corridoi), Summons schifose, colonna sonora dimenticabile e ripetitiva.
    Un pessimo gioco di Final Fantasy ed un pessimo JRPG.
    Non buttate mai i vostri soldi in spazzatura come questo orrendo gioco noioso

    Un gioco davvero bello con un sistema di combattimento innovativo sottovalutatissimo durante la sua uscita e rivalutato per fortuna con l avvento del game pass

    Final Fantasy 13 is not a Final Fantasy game.
    It's just some crappy garbage put together to sell a horrible product.
    Avoid this, because it's one of the worst games I've ever played

    FF fans are just whiney babies at this point. How you can luv 10 but hate 13 is Insane and moronic. 15 got the same negativity from jrgs players even though it's amazing.

    FF13 è il peggior jrpg che io abbia mai giocato.
    Ed è anche il peggior gioco di Final Fantasy di sempre.
    Un'esperienza ridicola, piatta, triste, ed orribilmente brutta a causa di una pessima storia dei pessimi personaggi una ridicola lore, ed un pessimo gameplay automatizzato. Una perdita di tempo che non augurerei a nessuno. Per questi motivi FF13 dovrebbe essere evitato da tutti, in

    To see such a legendary franchise create such a pretty-looking yet abysmal game was shocking. I recall playing this game for about 30 minutes before recognizing my own immense boredom and frustration. This was one of the first games I played that I would have truly considered to be "bad," and was taken aback by my own boredom.

    If you have enjoyed other Final Fantasy games, you might find this marginally tolerable. Otherwise, do yourself a favour and give it a pass.

    A piece of crap game.
    Since it's a completely linear game, with a sh/t automatic gameplay, a ridiculous plot, and horrible characters.
    One of the worst games I ever played

    Horrendous game.
    This is Final Fantasy 13, the worst mainline Final Fantasy game.
    One of the worst jrpg I've ever played in my whole life
    Don't waste your time and money in this piece of crap

    Very beautiful game, with characters and music. the story was very complex for me at first but then I got it 100% thanks to a lot of dialogue the game has. the battle system is very fun. You have to change strategy based on who you are fighting which is sth I have never seen before I payed this game.

    Atrocious and boring piece of trash.
    Final Fantasy 13 is literally the worst jrpg I've ever played, and also the worst Final Fantasy game. 0 explorable city, 0 NPC, 99% linear maps, transformers trash Summons, ridiculous monsters design, forgettable ost, ecc....
    Pitifully bad in every single way, especially the trash plot and the sh*tty automatic gameplay.

    As an RPG, it is an excellent experience that provides a beautifully crafted world and engaging battle system. However, as a Final Fantasy game, it falls short of expectations somewhat.

    Ten hours in you might have doubts, but stay with it and you'll be smitten right through to the frankly unbelievable end. [Apr 2010, p.104]
  3. An unexpected Final Fantasy. The 13th chapter has a great story and some of the most incisive characters of the whole series, and even the battle system works very well, being deep and complex (even if you control only a single character). But on the other side the overwhelming linearity of the plot, the absence of cities to explore, and the small amount of side quest will disappoint fans' expectations.
