I returned to Final Fantasy XIII after 15 years, I wanted to find out if this controversial entry was better or worse than I remembered.
From its complex terminology and linear hallways to its fast-paced combat and characters, I break down everything from storytelling to gameplay. Getting technical with the Paradigm, Stagger, Crystarium Systems, what really works and what doesn’t in 2025.
