I don’t think anybody looks back on FF13 today and has changed their mind about it. The graphics are great though.

FFX is my favorite FF, but it's linear as shite too. It is more open-ended than 13, but it's pretty close.

I didn't like how the game limited character progression behind story progress.

The story was also very poorly told. The game feels like it starts halfway into the plot. Characters are throwing around names of places, terms, etc and you have no idea what anyone is talking about for like the first 10 hours, unless you are reading all the data logs.

I can't speak for XIII-2 and Lightning Returns.

The trilogy does need a remaster or modern ports. The PC ports of XIII and XIII-2 in particular are garbage.

Halo 4 was really underrated

People jammed on it, but I really loved the MP.

The story was alright but the gameplay and MP were excellent. I’d argue that Reach had a much better and well-written story.

15 is way better than 13.
