Final Fantasy XIII is a video game released on the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Personal Computer. It was developed by Square Enix. It stars characters. One of the characters is called Lightning and that is the main character of the game that can be played, with a controller. The game is about Lightning and a collection of other characters who must fight some other characters to save a world. The story has a beginning and en ending and a middle bit. Final Fantasy XIII belongs to the Role Playing Game genre of video games, more specifically, a genre that some people dub "JRPG" with J standing for Japanese. Final Fantasy XIII was developed in Japan, which would have made this genre designation accurate. The game has things in it, other JRPGs have, such as leveling up and weapons and shops. The battle system is a battle system. In this battle system, players select commands for one character, while other characters are controlled by the game's Artificial Intelligence. Players can manually designate commands or let the Artifical Inteligence decide which course of action is best. There is a system called, "The Paradigm Shift," which is new to Final Fantasy XIII and it allows players to pre-program how characters behave and the player can swap these behavior patterns whenever they want during a battle to deal with different circumstances. Many people enjoy the paradigm system, but other people do not like it so much. Players have the ability to restart a battle if it does not go well, which you may or may not find useful depending on your personal preference. You might also find weapon leveling useful, but that's only if you find weapon leveling useful. So whether or not you find weapon leveling useful is down to how useful you ultimately find weapon leveling. You can save the game if you want sometimes. The video game has graphics and sound the graphics are seen with your eyes and the sound is heard by your ears. When you start the game the graphics and the sound will occur almost at the same time letting you know that the game has started. There is also text which players can read, if they can read.

It has things in it that some people might enjoy, but other people who have different ideas of what is enjoyable may not actually enjoy it. In conclusion, Final Fantasy XIII is a video game. It scores numbers out of a number. Buy it. Or don't buy it. With money. Or the barter system, if the barter system is available in your particular region.
