Enjoying FFXIII

[Wolf Kanno]

I actually went into the game with abysmal expectation and it still found ways to utterly disappoint me. I blame it on the fact that there are moments in the game that hint to good things to come, only to watch the game either wave hand it, ignore it, or utterly fumble it. So it's pretty disappointing cause it actually had a lot of potential to be a very strong story but pretty much squanders it to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

In terms of gameplay, as long as you don't give a damn about exploration, control, deep customization, variety, and getting access to new parts of gameplay but prefer getting it piece meal style over the course of 40 hours, then its adequate.
