A lot of people complain about the graphics and FPS. Did you played through the first chapter? Or even started the game? Since the graphics are more important than the game experience? Do you care about the story, the characters, the locations, the music, the battles? OK, the port is not the best, but play with it if you payed for it. I think many of you have not played with the previous FF games like V or even VII…

What you will expect from this Final Fantasy (tl,dr; if you interested please read all, I played with the X360 version):

Pros:
- Exciting new combat system
- Lovable characters with background story
- Epic music
- Amazing and captivating story, but...

Cons:
- ...Linear and complicated (only at early)
- Minimal open world
- Short especially for a FF game
- Not the best RPG

Playtime: Story: 45+ hours (ofc with cutscenes), Full Achievements: 130-150 hours(or more based on farming-luck)

Terms you may need to know first:

Fal’cie – False gods, machines responsible for the creation and maintenance of the land where humans dwell, and indirectly govern their lives. They can turn the people into l’cie.

L’cie - humans "branded" by divine entities (mostly fal’cies) and given great physical and magical power, as well as a Focus to fulfill. If they manage to complete their Focus they will become crystal or you will become a cie’th. People are afraid of l’cies.

Cie’th – those who fail to complete their Focus in time. They are mindless monsters who attack everybody.

Cocoon – A planet which floats in the sky above the land of Gran Pulse (it’s like the Moon), the events starts here.

Gran Pulse – A planet like the Earth, and Cocoon floats in its atmosphere. It is a world of natural evolution where animals and plants can grow to tremendous sizes
the human civilization of Gran Pulse had nearly been wiped out by the War of Transgression.

The War of Transgression – It was a war fought between Cocoon and Gran Pulse between six and seven hundred years.

Purge – It is a form of social cleansing conducted by the Sanctum, the fal'Cie-run government of Cocoon, to get rid of those believed to have been "touched" by Gran Pulse.

Story/Characters:

If you new in Final Fantasy games I can recommend this one, it plays on a planet called Cocoon, where you can control 6 characters, our heroine is Lightning who was a soldier (Guardian Corps) she is on the Purge train to save her sister Serah who is caught by a fal’cie and marked as a l’cie. Serah’s boyfriend Snow travels to the Hanging Edge to fight PSICOM and the Purge in the hopes of saving her. Meanwhile Sazh the old timer pilot boards with Lightning to save his son Dajh. On the same train Vanille (who is already a l’cie), Hope and his mother are part of the group of exiles onboard the Purge train. And Fang who will appear later in the story she searches for Vanille and aims to complete her Focus. Their ways cross them to Serah who fulfill her task as a l’cie and turns into crystal while the other party members marked as l’cie. With the fatal fate on their shoulders our heroes take up the struggle against the curse, rescue Serah and Cocoon’s people from the suffering of the fal’cies… “The Battle Within Begins...”

For me this game 10/10, if I need to compare to the other FF games then 8.5/10.

If you liked this masterpiece I can recommend the XIII-2 and Lightning Returns too.
