Hey, FFXIII isn't nearly as bad as everyone made it out to be! Though Vanille's Aussie-Brit accent is kind of maddening, and I'm only a couple of hours in, so I expect to go a little insane before the game is through.

Really? Fuck that theory, Chopin.
If anything, having Final Fantasy in the name was the one thing that made me at all interested in the first place.

It definitely is a draw, but I think what I'm getting at is that FF is held to a standard that doesn't exist for many other franchises. People have come to (even after the mixed response the last few got) expect/demand excellence from FF titles, and anything less than incredible kinda labels it as kind of a flop.
Not to say I think the world would have fell in love with XIII otherwise, I just feel like it got judged more harshly than it would if it were not a FF title.

Hmmm, whiny reluctant protagonist? Check. Plucky not of legal age jail bait? Check. Big Robots? Check. Ambiguous religious references? Check. Yep, it's got all the cliches.
