So I beat Final Fantasy XIII a while back… and I am really disappointed with it. I haven’t really played much in terms of Final Fantasy in the past few years. I have only played IX and XII and didn’t beat either. It didn’t hold my interest enough to keep playing plus I was playing while games like Mass Effect and such were coming out. I did play a lot of Final Fantasy XI but I stopped playing a long time ago. I am sure you heard all the rumors or even played the hours of the linear tunnel/hallway maps scattered with monster. It took me 30 hours until I finally got to a open map just to find out that I can’t do much on this map other then a small portion of the side quest unless I either level like crazy or beat the game.

Now the cut scenes, fighting system, graphics, story and music are all pretty good. The biggest problem of the game like I mentioned earlier is that most of the game you are running down a hallway with enemies. Now for a final fantasy game it seemed a little too linear, there was no exploring towns or talking to people. I wish there was more exploring, all you get is a couple a maps that you can explore and for those that are playing it on the 360 like me that is not till the 3rd disc. I will admit that game is pretty good but it just wasn’t what I was expecting for final fantasy.
