But I do take issue with how you continuously portray FF13, and other JRPGs, as somehow being less than other rpgs. The only games I ever encountered that had storylines superior to an average anime are jrpgs, and metal gear solid. And to me it is the level of the storyline that makes a game into an RPG, not the amount of choices you get to make in it or where the game is made, etc.

Other than that, your review is discouraging, since I have FF13 nearby waiting to be played once I finish Dragon Age. Still, even though your review seemed so negative, you still gave it 7 out of 10, so it can't be that bad, so I think I will like it anyway.
