Actually replayed it last year.
I still feel very strongly about 13. Only thing that changed might be that i can see how similar to 10 it is. Essentially the same leveling system. Very similar world progression (well 10 is a straight line until about 30 hours in you get to back track and 13 is about 30 hours in you get a massive zone to explore but its similar enough. [For the record i do not equate linearity with bad.])
That said it has one of the best OSTs ive ever heard. Some characters that i really love. What is still the best use of ATB ive ever played. And a story that i think really hits. And its still beautiful. Probably the best looking console game of that gen.
I love yo read lore in games so my first go i read all the codex entries. I will say that not having some key info given to the players in cutscenes absolutely leads to a huge part of the audience being completely lost. But for me its was a game that is really got me into the genre and now its not only all i really play it got me to explore 20+ years worth of games i never gave a chance.
And 13-2 is slept on pretty hard too.
...13-3 is an unplayable mess
