Define "fun" as you've used it here. Is this like Mass Effect, where the story just goes to hell by game #3, but the actual game/combat mechanics and presentation are the best of the series?

I am into the first non-linear part of 13 (chapter 11, I think) and fun-factor of the actual battles is taking a nosedive for me. I was cruising along just fine until I hit the mid-level boss in the last chapter, and since then I am struggling to beat basically any enemy I come across. It's like the steady learning curve suddenly turned into a fricking cliff. This is my first jrpg, so it wouldn't surprise me if I am missing something obvious in terms of character progression or kit modification.

You have more control over battles in my opinion as the series goes on. 13-2 you can capture different wild creatures and use them in your party in any way it suits you. In 13-3, you acquire different outfits, weapons, shields, powers, etc. You can mix and match anyway you see fit. It offers a huge deal of customization which is great.

Now if you care about story and thats the main reason, do not play 13-3, but if you enjoy the mechanics and gameplay it will be a blast for you.

Only wish in 13-3 you had a second party member at all times, but that would make parts of the game a bit too easy.
