Oh look, here's a topic that's fresh and hasn't been probed at all: whether people liked or disliked FFXIII.

Anyway, I found FFXIII enjoyable. I played through it once, beat it, and moved on. It was not what I expected from a Final Fantasy title and it did not leave the lasting impression that was left by others in this series, but as a game it was fun. As DMKA and others have alluded to, it has as much in common with Final Fantasy as it does with games like God of War and Uncharted, though I don't think FFXIII is as good as a game like Uncharted 2. Ok, maybe it has a little more in common with FF than those games but you could tell it was definitely in that direction that SE was going for with this game. I felt that was a mistake, but it didn't stop FFXIII from being fun as a game. As an entry in this historic series I do think it was a disappointment.
