13 was far from the worst in the series, same with 13-2. They're very lacking titles, but they're not as bad as say, FF8/2.
8 you had full control over everyone in your party. You could specifically design each characters role, or make them all super strong in everything.

13 You could do the same, but you did not have full control. The game forced you to play with different characters. I hated Vanille, her constant annoying accented monologue was too much, atleast Tidus wasn't as repetitive as her. What I am getting at with her is, I could have anyone in my party in FF8 or 10.

In order to kill a certain enemy you NEEDED Vanille, you couldn't do this mission without her. The Ochu Mission, you HAD to play as her because the AI was too god damn stupid to cast Death over and over. The AI is too stupid to cast deprotect on a mob/boss that is highly susceptible to deprotect, instead it uses it's time spamming fog. AI is dumb.

If you died, you could pheonix down and recover, what happens in FFXIII? Instant game over if leader is taken down... lame.

You would chose a dumb ass AI over full control over a character that you could build yourself?
