Better Than It Sounds

Everyone has games that they either like, dislike, or love. me, I'm pretty easygoing, and not that hardcore a gamer. As interesting as 100% completion sounds, I'm okay without it. I don't get that worked up about voice actors being bad, or poor gameplay, or even one-dimensional characters. I just try to roll with it, and for, me, if it clicks, that's fine, if not, then that's fine too. You might say that I have low standards, but honestly, I'm just looking for something fun.

In terms of Final Fantasy games, the first one that I ever played was Thirteen, so, unlike a lot of people, I may not have as much flak for it as other people. I've played other RPG's before, and, honestly, I play them as if I'm reading a book. Inserting myself into the character's shoes, not my style. I'm far more interested in letting the characters be themselves than trying to roleplay them. I like the magic of seeing other worlds, and trying to extrapolate how they're possible, not nitpicking over bad design.

In fact, I probably barely ever notice bad design. maybe this is good, maybe bad, but it probably does make me biased towards FF XIII.

Final Fantasy 13 is definitely different from its predecessors. It has a different feel from the other games, and would probably do well as a standalone title,not just as a final fantasy game, and possibly even better if it was a standalone title. It’s something that can be enjoyed on the surface, but is most pleasing when you look at it sideways, rather than head on. It’s also a more philosophical game than most, and let’s be honest, most people don’t want to get caught up in a philosophical train of thought when playing a game. Final Fantasy 13 is a very good game, provided you can look at it from the right point of mind.
