FFXIII - Day Four
- Sentinels - good lord, I love this class. I hate when the leader needs to be one as timing commands can be rather annoying, but having another member of your party take on this role is a sheer delight. The enemies focus attacks on them and their damage is severely reduced.
- Music - on the whole I am not a fan. Granted, it’s hard to match FFVII in that realm but the music is frequently incongruous and/or annoying.
- Crystarium - I visit the crystarium after nearly every battle. Not only is it satisfying but it’s nice that your characters are constantly evolving.
- Achievements - really not a fan of many of the achievements. There are only 35, 13 of which are story related totaling 290g. I understand having achievements for the hardcore grinders, but there aren’t nearly enough rewarding the non-insane.
- Upgrades - not sure about this system just yet. It doesn’t make sense to spend a bunch of resources upgrading a weapon just to take on another weapon that you will also have to upgrade.
Allegedly the 15-20 hour mark is where this game really hits its stride. I hope that is the case, as so far it is solely battles and cutscenes.
