Better than FFXIII on many points, some aspects of FFXIII having been fixed, some not ... The game features more freedom than FFXIII but nothing comparable to the previous games. I still enjoyed the principle of time travel (some places can be visited at different times). The combat system has hardly changed, the big news is that it is now possible to capture monsters to make them fight with us, nice. Recommended for the most loyal fans, especially if you like FFXIII. For other I advise you to save for FFXV.
