Someone let me borrow their import copy of Final Fantasy XIII to try out. I like the graphics, but this game is pretty blah overall from what I've played. The ability to actually enjoy the story will depend if you like the characters or not. I don't like them overall, so meh.
The battleflow is aimed for people with ADD (shit moves ridiculously quick), which means you only control the main while the CPU controls the other two. There is a pretty lengthy tutorial mode to help get used to everything, but they irk me. Game also goes from pretty easy to stick your dick in a toaster painful hard once you branch out of the linear path. How you build your party and roles will basically dictate whether you win or get your dick kicked into the dirt.
I like the graphics along with the actual challenge involved (first challenging FF game I've dealt with since playing a translated version of FF4) and the music is wonderful, but this game is meh overall. I'd rent this game instead, as you'll probably never touch it again once you're done.
