Final Fantasy XIII seems to have taken a gigantic step backwards as compared to its predecessor. The latest installment of the title does not include town explorations, world maps and conversations with non-player character.

Experienced players will be already familiar with the battle combat system, which will allow players to give commands to their team as time exceeds. While, the main player will have control over the team leader, the other members of the team will not have that control.

Paradigm Shifts allow the player to change character class on the fly. One problem seems to be that the whole team is required to change the character class at the same time as the main player, instead of singularly, and this can end up confusing the player plan.

Despite the strategy which seems to have a problem, the tale of warring worlds Cocoon and Pulse, including the personal trials Lightning, the heroine of the saga, and her ensemble, have been superbly enlighten via rich visuals.
