About this product
Product Information
Final Fantasy XIII is a role-playing game for high-def consoles, set in an original realm that blends futuristic technology and ancient mysticism. Players follow the epic adventure of a group of gifted youngsters, informally led by an orphan girl called Lightning. The game uses an original variation on the "Active Time Battle" system, seen in earlier Final Fantasy adventures. Players queue up fighting moves for their hero to attempt, limited by the number of "Command Slot" action points they have. <br><br>Characters earn additional action points as they level up. Combat plays out in a real-time flow. As players control the key character in each battle, the computer directs the moves of other heroes. Players can influence the actions of the allies in the fight by using the "Paradigm Shift" feature to change a computer-controlled character's class type.<br><br>In the traditions of the top-selling Final Fantasy series, the game's story is told cinematically, with emotionally charged interactions between highly expressive characters, in intricately detailed, computer-generated movie sequences that run between the player-controlled action. The game begins in the mystical metropolis of Cocoon, created ages earlier by godlike titans called the fal'Cie. The city floats high above the earth, keeping its citizens sheltered and safe from the dangers of the wilderness below. <br><br>Among the populace, there are certain individuals known as I'Cie, who bear the mark of the ancient creators. This mark indicates great power, but also great danger. Those who carry it -- including the young heroes of the adventure -- are considered to be cursed. At moments of great peril, I'Cie can summon a mystical Eidolon guardian being to fight alongside them, and in certain circumstances, they can temporarily join with their summoned entities to form powerful vehicles or weapons, in the game's "Gestalt Mode."Product Identifiers

Compelling graphics with a cinematic introduction.
Game is in good working order and the original instruction manual was in good condition as well. Amazing graphics with an optional tutorial system to go along with the game. Thus far, the game seems very cinematic as you're going through the initial stage of the game. The battle system and leveling system seems to appear different from previous Final Fantasy games. In battle, you can create a chain of commands that you want your character to perform such as attack or use a special skill. As for leveling, all I noticed was that I didn't see any experience points at the end of battles. Still have a lot of game playing but at least I have a lot to look forward to.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Unfortunate addition to such a great franchise
As a long time Final Fantasy fan. I was disappointed in this release for a variety of reasons. First, the game holds your hand with tutorials for at least the first 20 hours of gameplay. The story is very linear and you literally walk in a straight line interrupted by cutscenes and battles where you just hit the X button and they are fought for you. The battle system feels very dumbed down and expands very slowly. I know the game starts to open later on and the paradigm system "can" get interesting later but I have lost my interested in playing any more.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Game!
The Final Fantasy series has always been one of my favorites and this game is one of the better ones of the ps3 era. The gameplay mechanics and the story are the highlights of the game and are what drew me to purchase it again.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Very great game from an older generation.
I originally played this classic on the Xbox 360 when it was first released in 2009/10. I have then beat it on the 360, and PC versions and was looking to finish it as it was intended on the PS3.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fun game but make sure the cd isn’t scratched before you buy one next time.
It was fun while it lasted but the cd was scratched so it stopped working less than halfway through the game. I can’t continue past a cutsceneVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good Times
One of my favorite Final Fantasy game series, even if people don't agree. Lightning is one of the coolest character designs in my opinion, and I like her attitude.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
