Honestly, I didn't know what to expect. After FFX I did not care much for the others, but I'm happy to say that I have really enjoyed FFXIII.

Playing whenever I get a chance (just reached Disk 2 on 360) I have truly enjoyed the game. The characters and storyline are playing out very well, always leaving that mystery aspect that makes you press forward to know more. The battle system works well and implements many classic aspects with new ones.

Check it out!

ya my friend is loving the game, but iv also got him attached to a ps2 game i hold personally as the best rpg iv every played, both story and oldschool mechanics wise. once your done with ff13 check out
shin megami tensai :nocturne
its basicly the story of a kid who turns into a half demon after the apocalypse and the story after that point gets so crazy and captivating that if you do beat the game youll never get the same feeling of accomplishment from any other game, thats just from personal experience but id love to see other ppls opinions about it.

I'll definitley have to check that out.
