Anyways, in prep I thought I'd put together some comparison, so here's a breakdown on my thoughts looking back on FFXIII (feel free to disagree with me in the comments) :
FFXIII: Overall Grade C
Recommended For: FF fans willing to put up with a crappy story and an overabundance of FF's signature angsty hopeless characters for a brilliant new battle system. Or if you really can't bring yourself to play FFXIII-2 out of order.
