XIII is pretty bad... Very linear... i mean no exploration in an RPG?? Gorl bye. Plus the only battle strategy really lay in your paradigm shifts. Auto battle did the rest. Most mindless FF ever

That said, its battle system has flaws for the worse too. Main character dies and game over, despite the other two members of my team alive and well? Ch. And whoever thought it'd be fun to have attacks that effect an area but not give the ability to control positioning during battle was an idiot.
XII is cute, but you need to have the stomach for MMOs. it plays like one, just not with the online or the multiplayer aspects
I feel the need to play the pre VII games now
