No need for an essay it just plain sucks
The corrider-fest is what got me most of all. I couldn't care less about the story partly due to the fact I didn't really pay attention in the first place. Yes the graphics were pretty and I'm not one to say graphics aren't everything as I do enjoy them in games but that's another story. I simply couldn't get into the game at all. Period. Before this I had played FF12 again which is vastly superior and I don't care what other people say it's just fantastic. Also I did Lost Odyssey which had some FF people onboard for that and felt more like an FF game than 13 did.
I would like to finish it at some point, as I managed to recently slog through 8 which I've never really liked just to say I've beaten all the numbered offline games. Which means I would have to try FFX-2 and the sequel to 13 as well I guess.
The crowning moment for me was summoning Shiva for the first time and that was it. The characters were gay even for an FF, even more than Squall (or as I named him - Douche)
I like to branch out and do other things and this game gave no hint of that as far as I played it. It was even more linear than FFX which is saying something. I hated FFX when I first played it too and it wasn't until years later that I tried it again and really enjoyed it. (I love boss battles and making it to the calm lands and creating monsters etc really pushed the game for me) so the next time I play it which I'm sure I will I'll make sure I haven't recenty gone through a couple of rpgs so I won't be as burned out from the genre.
