The problem I found with XIII is the fact that every single battle has a certain strategy to do it in order to get that 5 star, there are other ways to win but not many for a perfect 5 star.

Character development is kind of free. You can either focus on 1 role or split it up between each character, eventually it'll go down to everyone has everything in their own way.

I feel it's in it's own new type of Final Fantasy, it's the Next Gen of Final Fantasy, so I feel it's the first type.

the content is pretty good, once you get to the "World Map" you have a lot of stuff to do I feel.

8/10 Wouldn't play a 3rd time.
