    A fundamentally flawed and boring RPG, Enchanted Arms might be steeped in Japanese charm but without any sense of fun or involvement, there's no reason to buy this. [Issue # 11, p.84]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score

    Wet

    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Only slightly worse than EA's recent offering, but when there's a choice of two, why would anyone plump for second place? [Issue#38, p.102]
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score

    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score

    While those that disliked XIII and its sequel might not find anything here to convert them – or at least not allow themselves to be converted by a strong action-RPG due to its cast or past – fans will find an entertaining and surprisingly innovative full stop to this chapter of the Final Fantasy franchise.
