Final Fantasy 13 series is the best of all FF games in my opinion.
As for this first game the story was good but you get bombarded by to much information right at the start just so it may be explained as you progress which i bet puts a lot of people off but besides that it's a typical save the World final fantasy story with a emotional but good feeling ending,
Gameplay is like all the others i would say, turn based but less than other FF games, still it's a gameplay i never truly enjoy, the Crystal/Skill tree was done by someone that hates people, seriously who the hell made that
thing? it's so slow to upgrade it becomes painful to watch
Graphics are ok for a early PS3 game ported to PC, some mods improve cinematics and fixing stuff so you will need those.
Overall FF-13 is a great series and worth buying, play it for the story and you will have a great time, play it for the gameplay and you could probably be playing something better in my opinion(turn base just makes me think i'm playing pokemon lol).
