I feel like we need an intervention when it comes to Final Fantasy because the series and legacy of the long-running JRPG series has been circling down the drain.  When "Square Soft" became "Square Enix" , the quality of the Final Fantasy franchise went to the crapper.

Final Fantasy 13 looks nice and it has a reasonably good battle system but the plot is utterly incomprehensible.  I think the plot goes like this: the pope of space wants to die to become a god and change the universe .....but he doesn't let you kill him because.....cheese.  I THINK that's the gist of it and correct me if I'm wrong.

The characters aren't all that interesting either.  The character designs are "meh" in my opinion and the greatest sin is that the game is way too linear. Sure it has a section when it goes open world but I never made it that far because I was bored to tears by the endless grinding.

The paradigm shifts is one of the few bright spots in the game......I could've done without the auto-fighting though.  Yeah you don't actually control your characters in battles.

I vowed I wouldn't buy another Final Fantasy game after this one......but I played a demo of FFXV and actually liked it.  Hope it lives up to all the hype because I don't know how to feel about Final Fantasy: The Roadtrip.
