I don't know why people are arguing which system is better in XII and XIII, they were both awful. XIII being the very worst. Short of taking the controller away from you I don't know how they plan to go one better.

In XII you shifted a few programming terms about a few slots, and I spent most of the game with 2 gambits, attack and cure. With XIII they have taken as much away as possible.

No need to argue which is better than the other when you are comparing a rotton fart with a festering turd.
