Here are some of the things I think would of helped Final Fantasy 13 become great.

 

Have the gameplay like FF13-2 faster paced

Being able to move on the battlefield like Lightning Returns and deflect attacks when needed.

Also being able to jump with the O button.

Have a memorable villain.

Have memorable characters at all. (The only reason Lightning is so popular because of one man only and I think you know who.)

Explain the story beyond data entries.

Make Snow less of a dumbass. (Lightning Returns sort of fixes that?)

Do away with hallways.

Actually make a good story.

Don't attempt to skirt by on graphics and pretty faces alone.

BE a videogame, not an interactive movie.

Why does everyone hate Snow?

Not everyone hates him. I like him. In fact, he's my second favorite character. Sazh being first.

Not everyone hates him. I like him. Then again, I liked FFXIII.

cool! I liked the whole cast of FF13, if I had to pick one person FF13 I didn't like it would be Lightning she ruined Lightning Returns.

I can't comment on that, due to the fact I haven't played LR yet. I'm not even onto 13-2.

It would have been great if they tried not to make it suck so bad.

An interesting battle system that didn't make every single battle in the game feel the same with a good storyline could have been fun

In general you just wish if all the improvements of Lightning Returns and XIII-2 were there from the beginning, but still I think there are many issues that need to be fixed other than that.I didn't like summons being forced into a character and also being a must through the story.

Many straight places, which made it like an adventure hack and slash.

The idea of making the characters to become a team didn't make sense as the old FF games.

Side quests were boring because they were all hunting and there were barely people in the game.Also there was no world map anymore it was just Gran Pulse, Cocoon and Orphan's Cradle after beating the game.

But overall I did enjoy the three titles of XIII.

I don't think any the game is all that bad. I don't see why people dislike it so much, but people can have their own opinions

XIII was PLAGUED with development issues. They made XIII-2 and LIGHTNING RETURNS because of this.
