Story
Cocoon - a utopia in the sky. Its inhabitants believed their world a paradise.
Under the Sanctum's rule, Cocoon had long known peace and prosperity.
Mankind was blessed by its protectors, the benevolent fal'Cie, and believed that tranquil days would
continue forever.
Their tranquility was shattered with the discovery of one hostile fal'Cie.
The moment that fal'Cie from Pulse - the feared and detested lowerworld - awoke from its slumber,
peace on Cocoon came to an end.
Fal'Cie curse humans, turning them into magic-wielding servants.
They become l'Cie - chosen of the fal'Cie.
Those branded with the mark of a l'Cie carry the burden of either fulfilling their Focus or facing a fate
harsher than death itself.
A prayer for redemption.
A wish to protect the world.
A promise to challenge destiny.
After thirteen days of fates intertwined, the battle begins.

As a long time Final Fantasy fan, I've come to know that each entry in the franchise is different to it's predecessor's and will NOT be exactly the same as the previous.
Yes, there will be familiar elements from the previous installments in some of the other games, but they have to include new elements to progress the franchise too. You can't throw the dummy out of the pram because you've been kicked out of your comfort zone and thrown into the unknown!
In this case, all I seem to hear is that the battle system was crap, didn't work, was too clunky blah blah blah. Then, if it wasn't that, then it was the linearity of the world.
While there is some linearity, it by no means hampers the story progress, character development or anything else either!
It may not be as open world as some other installments (in some places) but, as I mentioned, no other aspect of the games is affected by it.
With regards to the battle system, I (and many others if you simply Google) thought the battle mechanics worked extremely well and made it feel a lot more dynamic! Being able to switch job/class in the heat of battle to counter certain aspects of the various enemy attacks made it feel fast paced, dynamic and at times, quite exciting.
But, it's only effective if you can set up your team with the appropriate jobs/class in the paradigm shift menu.
This is where I think some of the hate comes from too, that some didn't fully understand it, didn't set up properly and therefore weren't effective enough in battles (or were just too lazy to grind a few extra levels).
Rant aside, this installment was actually really enjoyable for me. The characters were well thought out and had their own personalities. Whether you grew to like or hate certain members, you had to appreciate the work put into them.
The world was actually visually stunning and superbly detailed! There were definitely a few times where I kind of forgot to get on with the game and just wandered around taking in the various vistas!
The story, for me, is where this installment really shines. It's imaginative and well structured, with gods and monsters, conspiracies and a few other things I won't mention.
Overall, I liked this addition to the series. It was interesting, at times a little sad but worth the playthrough.
Story : interesting but too long drawn out. (It takes up to 10 hours for the game to become interesting)
Combat : Terrible(the reson i dislike it so much) - stop streamlining combat jeez!! some people like a challenge!! i like to use my brain ;)
Longetivity: well over 40 hours for the main campaign
soundtrack: Some great orchestral and rock tunes BUT LEONA LEWIS!! seriously?? what market are enix aiming at here?? pop cultures teeny boppers? sure f*** it why not have one direction do the next game :P
