im a ff fiend. and im tellin u. it sucked. i love ff7,8,9,10, didnt mind 11, 12 then we get 2 13. horrible game. story was poo. there is no open world until the last couple hours of the game. u basicaly walk a striaght line 4 30 hours until open world happens. then it only lasts so long. then your back on a straight path again. from a rpg fan, ill give it 5. as a ff fan, ill give it 2/10. dont waste your money. if nething, buy lost odyssey. as a rpg lover, i give it 8/10. as a ff fan, ill give it 10/10 just because the story killed ff13. the side quests killed 13. the length and changes of pace r amazing. this game is packed with everything from hidden weapons to hidden bosses. its really a slept on rpg that deserves recognition
