Final Fantasy XIII

Final Fantasy XIII is traditional Japanese RPG game developed by Square Enix. This legendary franchise is one of most best selling game from all the Playstation series which is continued longer than 20 years. Each series has different story line, worlds and characters. So players will never get bold by playing the whole series of game.
In Final Fantasy XIII, they makes female as protagonist for first time which inspired by another Square Enix game 'Tomb raider'. The game took in fictional floating play Cocoon, where the government control all the civilization as they want and force them to believe Pulse. Lightening was the soldier in government first place, however when her sister Sarah got choose by government to serve Pulse, she starts to fight back against the government and Pulse. The story may seem little bit old and similar plot as other RPG game, however because the world has huge story telling itself, the players can play without getting bold.
The system of game is like other Japanese RPG game, but to make the game much realistic, they make the game play real time, but with selecting the command. So when you play the game first time, it might seem little bit hard, but this makes the game play much fun, because you get direct feedback unlikely to other JRPG which player need to wait until the opponent finish their attack.
Final Fantasy series always have better graphic than any other game release similar day. For example, Final Fantasy VII is first 3rd dimension game in the world that release on 1997 by Playstation 1. Final Fantasy XIII releases on 2009, however the background graphic and character details is more like art and it can compete with other game release in this day.
I want to give this game 9.5/10
