Kaden Wrote:FFXIII's world definitely has the same depth to it as the other games. The difference is that you're not forced into it. Most of it is done through the Datalog instead of being explained in cutscenes. There's tons of background and history and legend/myth/stuff that you could just completely skip over.
Mostly this. I was initially pretty lost on the setting/background and was beginning to get slightly irritated. I found that after a while it all just starts to click though. As one of those people who doesn't trust a fantasy setting unless it has a novel's worth of explanation, the Datalog was a perfect addition to this.
To sum up: I like Final Fantasy XIII.
