i'm asking if i would like ff13 if i apsolutly hated ff12
Ok, I have to put my two cents in here as I'm right in the middle of 13 and getting mighty frustrated with it.. First, while I didn't actually hate 12, I do agree with you that it had poor character and plot development.. I missed, greatly, the camaraderie and friendship that was the core of FF10 and 10-2..

Now, back to 13.. Unless you just adore mathematics, you will probably end up as frustrated as I am with the game.. Now, don't get me wrong, I love all the FF games, have been playing for years starting with number one on the old Nintendo system.. But, never have I been so put off or as angry at this franchise as I am this time around..

Oh, the graphics are great, as usual, the characters, like in FF12, leave a lot to be desired with the exception of Fang (stupid name) and Snow.. Our heroine leaves me cold and Venille, like Rikku in FF10 and 10-2, can be a bit trying at times.. But it's the ridiculous and complicated weapons and accessory upgrading system that has me up in arms! For Pete's sake, you have to be a frigging math genius to understand it! I swear they must have hired some new graduate from MIT with a degree in Astrophysics and Mathematics to come in and design this part of the game..

I mean I can understand the crystal system just fine, it's not much different from the grid growth system in FF10, but lord save me from this upgrade system.. It's a math hater's worst nightmare..

Anyway, this is my opinion of Final Fantasy 13.. You can take it where you will.. It's the only one I've ever played I seriously dislike.. Guess, though, since I paid for it, I'll try and finish it, IF I can figure out how to upgrade my weapons..
