Now that it's here it's aggravating the hell out of me. When Lightning Returns was announced I wasn't excited about it, but I was not not excited about it either it was something I could patiently wait for. The story was boring and I didn't care for the new battle system. I liked FFXIII, it's definitely not the best in the series, but it's good in my opinion, FFXIII-2 was meh for me. I liked FFXIII, it's I'm still in the beginning of the game and as of right now I'm rating it between 5-6. I'm still in the beginning of the game and as of right now I'm rating it between 5-6. All in all, I find it an enjoyable game despite its faults. Then there are the very small maps (relatively), but unlike FF XIII this game isn't linear as much, you can pick your own order in which to do things. The graphics are far far below FF standards, and something feels very low-budget about it, like they've just wanted to end the series but don't really care for it anymore cuz customer whined too much about the previous ones. It's pretty Obvious to see this installment is like a cult-game almost.

I don't like the many conversations, for every side-quest you have to talk to someone, and at first that's fun a bit, but later on it really gets on my nerves. Downsides are it's timed, I love free roaming and taking my time in places and I can't now unless I wanna use New Game + to no end, but then I gotta replay certain sections. Personally I liked the first XIII the least of all 3 games, and it's actually rather nice they abadoned the auto attack thing from 1 and 2. It must be cuz I'm getting older, I don't get sucked into games (storywise) as much as I used to, same with this game. I remember way back when people were **** about FF8 and 9 cuz it wasn't FF7, then people complained FFX was just plain bad and they hated it and it was stupid, and now everyone's like FFX was epic and blabla.

I remember way back when people were **** about FF8 and 9 cuz it it's so weird people are **** about 13 now and pretend it's a new thing. It's so weird people are **** about 13 now and pretend it's a new thing.
