Just finished FFXIII. I killed the final boss with Fang´s Higwind. Epic. I realized that Smart Bomb is the best paradigm to increase the chain bar instead of relentless assault.

The story/music/gameplay got a lot better in the final chapter than in any other moment in the game. The ending was surprisingly good, now that i think of it the story was not that bad, the problem is that it wasn´t well told. If you think of it the only moment the chars participate in the story is in the end and before the game takes place. They don´t have any concert objectives during the whole game, just following the wind and fighting every thing. The music was finally audible in the end, i don´t understand why the music volume was so low during the game.

The best thing in FXIII is the battle system, it showed all it´s genius in the two final chapters and i´m considering to do all the optional stuff ( hunts) because i want more challenging battles . I never did it before in any ff game. In this point i just want to be able to ride a chocobo to see what is like. I need a FAQ.

It feels good to see an intelligent review of FFXIII, and a relatively favorable one at that!
Conversely, I felt the story weakened at the end. Perhaps I didn't entirely understand but it felt like their objective was like "well, because we have no idea wtf to do, let's just go and see what happens, then....

Spoiler: show

they just walk right up to orphan's cradle and kill him, not knowing Fang and Vanille would pull a deus ex machina and save the day

I need to play the game again and really focus on the story. My first playthrough was more about sensation than a critical response.
