Well, I was on a FF itch since playing Rebirth and I said why not ff13?! I have played this before and the sequel and I never realized that this game is literally ONE BIG CORRIDOR YOU WALK AND THEN EVENTUALLY FIGHT. The story of the game was a little funky, but I did enjoy the graphics for a ps3 game, absolutely beautiful and the music especially the title screen, way too clean for such a game with fans criticizing for being so linear.
The gameplay was absolutely fantastic, roles switching while in the middle of battle wow. I wish they expanded more on the roles as it felt so limited because you are just mashing X the whole time. What carried me through the whole game was HASTE and upgrading my weapons to max. Lightning is just buff in attack and magic then Fang is buff overall in attack, then I switched from Sazh to Hope because of his Magic stat which was crazy, higher than Vanille’s.
I enjoyed the game because it’s an absolute beauty but the last three chapters (11 - 13) took me almost 20 hours to finish, I have no idea why they made the chapters so awkwardly weighted. But a good thing was grinding in chapter 11 with the behemoth and the big dog monster and maxed my Crystarium thing. I was op by the final boss which was the coolest boss in the game. I’m thinking playing the sequels, might have to indulge.
