This gauge is segmented, so as it fills, more segments are available for use. When standing in a neutral position, a gauge fills above your list of commands. At the system's root is the classic ATB (Active Time Battle) principle. What starts out as an extremely simple, menu-driven system slowly becomes one of the most complex, challenging systems I've ever experienced in a Final Fantasy title. Of course, a role-playing game would be nothing without a solid battle system, and fortunately Final Fantasy XIII delivers. Even the actors providing work for the side characters and villains do a tremendous job. The game also benefits from its cast, and all the members are voiced by some very talented people. These themes are extremely important to the plot of Final Fantasy XIII and I very much enjoyed them. Like various religions of the world, the mythology of Final Fantasy XIII incorporates god-like beings (the fal'Cie) that protect humanity. What was more intriguing to me, beyond the standard growth of the characters, was the dynamic established between the two worlds of Final Fantasy XIII - Cocoon and Pulse - as well as the relationship between humans and their fal'Cie counterparts.

Final Fantasy XIII can tiptoe (or 'stumble,' depending on the scene) into the melodramatic, but fans of the series shouldn't be too surprised.

This multi-story approach, as well as a clever use of flashbacks, makes Final Fantasy XIII's story quite enjoyable, at least in terms of its structure. In Final Fantasy XIII, players take control of six different characters with the sharp-eyed Lightning taking the 'lead role.' Although the game does tend to stress Lightning as the primary heroine, Final Fantasy XIII is reminiscent of Final Fantasy VI in that you control all the characters at different times and you jump between the groups frequently.
