This game deserves much more love [and a remake trilogy one day], honestly my favotite ff and I played a lot of them.
I guess the first note I'd like to make about FFXIII is I'm just really grateful for this experience. It's really rare that someone recommends me a piece of media that resonates so deeply with my soul. So I really want to extend a thank you to my brotha Blahaj Blast for recommending me this, after he beat my recommendation to him FFX. I had frustrations with this game, and I really thought I might just drop it but the characters depth, and relatability really stood out to me from the jump. For ex a protaganist like Lightning who is so cool and has this move forward only mindset but is repressing this inner trauma was so... beautifully written. I greatly appreciate every character Fang, Hope, Vanille, Sazh, Serah etc. I like how the game treated them giving each of them their own different personalities and stories. That's one of my favorites aspects of FF, I felt truly connected to these characters their struggles, pain, and battles they were fighting. I was really rooting for them and the game had me incredibly emotionally invested in the plot/characters. I could write a lot more however, I'll save it for my video essay. My favorite setting was easily Bodhum such a beautiful setting, the water, beach, fireworks, modern colorful architecture. Additionally, this game being an original xbox360 release from 2009 (which how, the graphics of this game are so beautiful its unreal for 2009.) That fact was extremely nostalgic for me. It took me back to when gaming was about going over to your homies house with the squad after school and running splitscreen mw2. The combat system was too slow thats my biggest critique, hell I switched to easy mode when I discovered that was a thing not because of the difficulty just to speed up fights. (switched back to normal for boss fights.) Give us more cutscenes, tighten up the combat so its slightly quicker early game, and I think this game gets way less mixed opinions. Aside from that the combat system challenged me and this game overall. I was on youtube/developing my own unique strategies with the paradigms to beat bosses or difficult mobs. I'll never forget how I was severely underleveled and beat Vanille's Eidolon with 100 left on the doom counters LOL. I love this game and will remember it forever, I cherish it and plan to play FFXIII-2 and Lightning Returns.

13 on sale2 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 2 “not sold” markets are read from the Steam price pass of Sep 11: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price in those. The 13 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 5.67/day in the week to Aug 4 → 6/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Der PC-Port von Final Fantasy 13 ist eine Katastrophe. Ohne Community-Patches bzw. Mods ist es unspielbar. Hinzu kommt, dass Controller nicht richtig erkannt werden. 8h Bug-Fixing und Patches bis man erkennt, dass es einfach die Zeit nicht Wert ist. Der beste Weg Final Fantasy 13 zu spielen, ist das Spiel auf einer Konsole zu spielen. 1/10 - Für mutige Leute, die mehr Zeit damit verbringen wollen, den Code des Spiels umzuschreiben, anstatt das Spiel wirklich zu spielen.
I don't think I need to say anything that hasn't already said on this. I barely got a third in apparently but can't stand this game anymore.

This game makes me wish Steam had a less binary rating system, because while I played through most of the game, enjoyed it, and certainly got my money's worth, it has some significant issues I feel obligated to point out. If I could I'd probably give it a 3 out of 5 for that reason. A bit surprisingly, none of the usual complaints about XIII really jibed with my experience. Once you get past the first few hours, you are going to be dying a lot if you try to "just press X" through battles. But if you actually learn how the battle system works and use its class change mechanics effectively, it ends up being a consistently exciting, challenging experience, much more so than most ATB combat games in the series. The other common complaint is that most of the game is a linear series of hallways, with no towns to explore or intricate dungeons full of puzzles. To be honest, I never really missed either of these aspects, and given the nature of the main storyline (party on the run from the Evil Empire) fully understand why they weren't included. The reality is that most JRPGs (and especially Final Fantasy games) are just as linear and simply mask that fact more effectively, so to me this critique rings hollow. So that's the good...now for the bad. Essentially I would classify this as a great game for the first 20-30 hours, or more specifically, until shortly after you arrive in a certain new area towards the end and it starts to open up. At this point the combat difficulty spikes massively, the heretofore absorbing story of peril and interpersonal drama begins to collapse under the weight of its own excessive convolution Kingdom Hearts-style, and it turns out there's not much of anything to do in this big open world beyond the main story other than make your way through a massive collection of narratively minimal MMO-style monster hunts. The weapon upgrading system (which you will at this point probably be wanting to make more extensive use of due to the aforementioned difficulty spike) is also unnecessarily convoluted and reminiscent of a gacha mobile game, though these at least have the virtue of explaining themselves instead of making the player figure everything out for themselves or resort to a guide. TLDR: Final Fantasy XIII is neither as bad as its detractors, nor as good as its hardcore fans, make it out to be. I got it on sale for $6 and if you are able to do the same it's worth at least giving it a shot if you're still unsure. A final note: I did not experience any of the supposed issues with the PC port, but if you do, look up FF XIII Fix, as the modding community has done a great job in this regard.
Mon ff d'enfance, grand plaisir d'y avoir jouer.

Final Fantasy XIII is a very underrated/over hated game. The story at times could be hard to follow especially near the beginning of the game but once you start to understand what is going on in this world it becomes a million times more interesting. The combat system I feel was very experimental and promoted making strategical decisions on the fly, which brought a great deal of challenge and thoughtfulness to the system. I enjoyed how the relationships between all of the characters in the party developed as well. Though, I will say the game is extremely linear until you get to the ladder half of the game but, I don't consider that a bad thing especially in this case. Earlier I spoke of the combat system, while a really enjoyable system with a great deal of challenge, especially in the second half of the game... I feel if the pacing of the game were any different, I would have became burnt out. I think the way the chapters were designed was perfect for the story and gameplay that the team that worked on this game put out. To concludes this review, if you are a fan of Final Fantasy or a fan of JRPGs, I truly cannot recommend this game enough. 7.5/10
