I have to say i was so excited to see the new Final Fantasy come out. There has been a lot of hate on this trilogy but i absolutely love the game! The graphics are beautiful and the characters are sublime. The depth and meaning behind everything you do is just simply amazing. 10/10!

Gotta say, I enjoyed FFXIII only downfall is that you dont get enough time to do all the side quests but great game!. Thanks Mighty Ape!

We all know it, FF13 has been done to death and well, what can you expect from three- A brand new game mechanic… A timer to be precise, they weren't lying about having thirteen days to save the world! The game is heavily focused on side quests which allow you to extend the time left before the world ends and it becomes a little self propelling, you spend time, precious time doing side quests, to extend the time you have for main quests, its seems rather silly, but it was all done to immerse you in the universe, except the timer actually distances you from the game, it makes you feel anxious, it's no longer a fun rpg where you can wander around and find out about the game world at your own pace, you are forced by the horrendous tick tick tick of the clock and its really not enjoyable for me, I can't imagine how it would effect someone with anxiety issues. With such a time dependent game, you would expect the main quest lines to present themselves fairly obviously, which is not always the case, the struggle to find how to trigger the next quest sequence at one point got me so frustrated at the complete waste of a whole in game day, I just stopped playing and since have had no desire to pick it back up, the allure of finding out the end of the game (which is what convinced me to buy it in the first place) isn't even enough to make me start playing. The fact that you are forced to RUSH an rpg makes the game seem so pointless and illogical, its really disappointing, the ol dress up for battle is an interesting mechanic that seems to work well enough, with plenty of variation, a lot of the monsters you will remember from the first two of the 13 series and there are some interesting characters, that unfortunately (again due to time constraints) didn't have as much depth or development as one would expect from final fantasy characters. The triple atb gauge and semi mobile character made combat much more enjoyable than 13–2 in my opinion, the one thing I did enjoy was the much more immersive combat system, however you quickly work out that it servers little to no actual purpose and as such is seen as an unnecessary waste of which makes it another key aspect of an rpg I found myself ignoring for sake of completing everything in the limited time I felt I had.
