re: Final Fantasy/lost odyssey

as the poster said before 12's battle system grows on you once you level up some. 12's characters are ok just my gripe with it is its main character really has no point of being the main character (vaan). It's story is ok but pretty straightforward. Where the game shines is all the sidequests you can do with the license board.

13 is short, its characters are some of the worst in the series, the game doesn't offer much for sidequests, you can't choose your party members you want to play as till about halfway through the game, its combat system grows old fast, and its story is not up to final fantasy standards. The one positive I will give this game is its graphics are incredible.
