Final Fantasy XIII

[Beskar]

No exp = no fun.

There is EXP.... or are those CP points pretty imaginary?

If it wasn't for 4chan, I couldn't tell if Lightning was a boy or a girl. Squenix has a habit of confusing us.

If the pink long hair and size C+ breasts and baring femine legs wasn't enough of a hint. If you said Hope as it is a femine male character or even Fang, who is a masculine female, at least I would understand where you came from (even though it is obvious which sex they are).

In summary, this game so far blows. Not as badly as FFVIII, thankfully, but it's pretty close. But at least it's not an MMORPG like FFXIV.

FF8 was pretty good.

If you want a real RPG with a plot that isn't confusing,

The plot is unclear for reasons, but it isn't confusing.

Why so hard to get to the map? Why not assign it to select? Why no way to instantly exit a menu? Mashing circle wastes time.

On Xbox, you just press "X" and the map goes full instantly. 'back' for the mini-map.

No choice of party leader?

Comes later. The beginning bit is going through the whole entire story, getting you to experience all the different characters, etc. Paradigm shift needs to be used frequently for bosses. If you don't, you simply die, or take forever in killing them. Oh, the game doesn't tell you this, but something I noticed, you need one commando for Chain-bonus, and then ravanger to increase it. If you have no commando, it just drops almost instantly after every hit, something the game enver said when I was going ravanger+ravenger against patchwerk soldiers... damn, they took a while to kill like that.

No gil after battle? Not sure about this. Good that I don't have more money than I can spend. Must see how this pans out across game before rendering judgement. Loot is boring. After battle and treasure chests, all junk. Customisation of weapons had better make these items exciting. Loot is important. Bad loot, why explore or battle?

You sell a vast majority of it for your money. Soldiers also drop credit chips and incentive chips, which are worth 500 2,500 a pop. Customisation isn't anything exciting other than working out which items give you the easiest/cheaping leveling ratio. So if you are expecting anything more than then that, you will be disappointed.

1 piece of equipment? Stingy. Very hard to customise anyone.

Expands later with a lot of different options. Being honest, I am just using Gold Bangle + Warrior/Shaman's Mark on everyone. Majority of the items are too fancy for their own good other than giving me cash.
