If it goes on sale for dirt cheap at some point (like, 10 bucks), I might pick it up. I tried getting through the game when it first came out, and I had to quit about 4 hours in lest my brain would have made me gouge it out of my head with a spork in self-defense.
Seriously, the game's plot disappears up it's on butt so far that it's practically non existent. Cocoon was day-glo green EVERYWHERE. The music, aside from a couple of tracks, ranged from forgettable to ear bleeding. The combat system was boring as hell. About the only thing in that game had was the character design. By XIII-3, they managed to even screw that up by going full on Play Arts Batman on it.
You're not the only one. I rather enjoyed the XIII, but it's just that the Final Fantasy series suffers from broken base syndrome. For just about Final Fantasy game, there will be those who say it's the best game ever while others will say that it's the worst game in the series. See VII and VIII.
Personally, XII is the worst game in the series in my opinion, followed closely by IV and VII.
Im in the same boat. Gave up on consoles when my 4th PS2 shit the bed. Too much money to go through that again I thought when PS3 released, so I dropped it for PC gaming (ftw!). The last FF I played (besides this one ofc) was 12 so I am eager to pick up 13. Sure I've heard its terrible, but for $16 I'll pick it up and try it out, so I can at least form my own opinion, and give me something to do in DF queues @_@

I generally notice that the first final fantasy someone plays is usually their favourite. Certainly the case for me - I love 8. Sure, you can break it by curaga on disc 1, but it's still great in my opinion. Conversely I find 7 a bit meh and over hyped.
Final Fantasy: The Walking Simulator.
Well, I suppose this is good news for those who enjoyed FF13 but I am definitely not interested in this.
lol...gamers are so dramatic.
And then there's me, who loves 7 and 12, but hates 9.
Quite a lot of people liked it, myself included. But people come out of the woodwork to bash something, while people who like something usually don't say anything. So the percentage of negative opinions are artificially inflated to make it appear as if nobody liked it.
In before thread lock as this has nothing to do about FFXIV.
