There's no such thing as unfairly scrutinizing anything. I believe you mean criticize, and even then, none of the criticism FFXIII has ever had leveled against it is unfair. It is truly one of the worst games I've ever played, certainly of the modern era if not ever, and all because they forgot to put a real game in there somewhere. Unless your idea of a good game is removing player agency completely. If that's the case then it was wonderful. 10/10.Originally Posted by Bolivar
As for the characters and story, I can safely direct you to everything Wolf Kanno ever said about it. Most of the time the characters, their motivations, and the story itself have no real direction or goal and often make no sense. And let's not get started on the fact that you have go read the in game encyclopedia to get important, and very much necessary, background information on the world and the people in it. And even on the rare occasion the story isn't busy troutting itself, its still held back by the simple fact that none of the characters aside from Sarah are actually likeable. It's an awful game on every level that actually matters.
