Here is a very in-depth review for FFXIII:
http://www.rpgfan.com/reviews/Final_Fantasy_XIII/index.html
What transpires from the review is that the game has a lot of technical qualities, like awesome graphics, a great soundtrack, voice work, battle system but isn't all that great in the plot, though it has its moments, nor memorable. But a landmark game.
Everyone has seen their share of FFXIII reviews, but this one is a very good and accurate one.
Cheers

Persona 4, The World Ends With You, and Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story are really the only Jrpgs I've enjoyed in a long time. Up until recently I was excited for FF13, but it sounds like it lacks everything I like in an RPG." @Asurastrike said:

Lost Odyssey has a well crafted storyline, for instance, but it kinds of drags towards the ending, though the plot twists really feel natural, and made me unexpectedly emotional at times due to the tender characterization given to the characters. And the last dvd is a bit of crazy difficult. :p
Infinite Undiscovery on the other hand has a fairy tale story, more than FF - if that is possible - and tells about the moon chained down by a misterious foe, bringing doom down to Earth, and the need to save them above all else. It seems generic, but with good and believable characters, and that plot, and good gameplay, it really is fun.
But most this generation jrpg games don't seem trully interesting from the plot point of view. I love awesome stories!!!
I've actually never played Persona 4, as i vowed i'd finish Persona 3: FES before playing it. But i have to say that the latest Persona games seem the best jrpgs in a long time.
World Ends With You, i hated the gameplay, so i didn't play it all that much.
About Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story i hear many good things, but... A rpg... for Mario... i have a tough time accepting such idea. But i'll have to come around as it sounds really awesome.
" @Asurastrike: About Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story i hear many good things, but... A rpg... for Mario... i have a tough time accepting such idea. But i'll have to come around as it sounds really awesome. "They have been making Mario RPG's for a long time. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars came out for SNES in 1996. Bowser's inside story was preceded by Partners in Time(2005), and Superstar Saga(2003). So yeah, Mario RPGS are here to stay. :P
" RPGfan is a big fan of the RPGs, rarely gives a bad review. Really if the guy is willing to review it at all, its worth assuming it'll score high. Just for a point of reference, Glory of Heracles got a 85%. Did the QL of Glory scream "above average" to you? "Take away the FF name from this game and I fucking bet you that this would NOT get ANY hype, and would be treated under a microscope. Those fucking FF fanboys can't see a bad game, these are the same idiots who say FFX-2 was "passable". This game better get the harsh reality of reviews and make it known the Versus XIII is the game to be looking out for.
Nomura and the older FF crew are working on that and not the crap in FF13.
Versus though; I'm still reserving my judgement for now, but it has a far better chance than XIII purely because it's got a Veteran team working on it.
Im still wondering what specifically it was in 13 that took so long to make, considering what already appeared to be done in the first trailer. The only thing I could think of would be the cities and optional content, which is what took 12 so long. But there aren't any cities, and I've heard nothing about the optional stuff.

"Dude, I had the same question when I beat the game. The only thing I can say is that they are stalling time for the Versus XIII team. FF13 has been in development since early 2005 with Versus and Agito. My only guess is that Square Enix is giving Numura all the time and money he needs to make Versus XIII the game everyone has wanted since Final Fantasy VI.
" Hopefully there's going to be news on Versus XIII on the next E3. Since Nomura's done with XIII he has more time now to do his own projects, KH3 included in there probably. "Numura never did anything on FF13. He's just credited for art and some minor story stuff. The idiots who made FF12's story did FF13...the second tier team.
Persona is the epitome of the anime story, Demon's Souls is the epitome of the overused general fantasy story. So what is a boring cliched story and what is not entirely depends on whether or not you enjoy it." Until Japanese developers get rid of their stupid cliched anime story lines I'm not playing another JRPG (exceptions Demon's Souls and Persona) "
Does not compute.
