re: Final Fantasy XIII worth buying?

I liked 12 but it wasn't an all time FF. It's plot was ok and the characters were pretty good. I liked the fighting system and all the side quest stuff you could do. Just in the public eye though it was deemed a flop because it didn't have anything that stuck like other final fantasies. In my opinion I think people are wanting an excellent plot with ok gameplay. They also want other stuff to do other than the main story line.

I don't get the hate for 12. I actually really liked it. 13 I'm not crazy about
Same here.

In a nutshell. Do not buy. It's a waste of 40 hours.
If you really made it 40 hours into the game then you would have discovered that X X X X L1,X X R1, X X X X X doesn't work that late into the game.

You are hearing all the negative, here is some of the positive of FF13. It opens up the story for 13-2 which is ok. The story in 13 is entertaining at least. Some characters are more likeable than others. It doesnt compare to 10, but play it if you plan on playing 13-2, and i would recommend 13-2 because Caius is one of my favorite villians in FF history.

only 2 chars are tolerable in sazh and lightning. Might be able to add fang to that list but really can't remember anything about her at this time. The story is awful. If you can get the game cheap go ahead and get it but I wouldn't waste 40-60 dollars on this game today.

There were some great cutscenes in FFXII, and the battle system late in the game was pretty fun. The graphics were beautiful.
That's about all the nice things I can say. The story wasn't engaging, the characters weren't interesting, and it was extremely linear. While I do like my games to have good gameplay, I play Final Fantasy for the story, and FFXII did not deliver.

The storyline in 12 was meh. I don't really care too much about story, if I have to I'll skip cutscenes. But the gameplay in 12 was probably the best part about it. What I liked about the battle system was that you had the freedom to do whatever you wanted, with whoever you want. And constantly change up who is fighting, who the leader is, what attacks they do, when they heal, etc... It's like FF13 took a step backwards with the battle system - I guess that's why I found it so disappointing.

I agree with everything you said. The one aspect I'm different than you is I want an rpg to have a good story.

Did for me. I had primarily 2 different paradigms. Forgot them now, but one was healing heavy and the other was damage heavy. I also had one that for buffs that i used once in a while.

Can any one explain the weapon upgrade system? Even the walkthrough doesn't make sense.

FF6 + FF7
Adds up to FF13, and they are both infinitely better
