3. When Your Party Leader Dies, You Lost The Game
In other Final Fantasy games, when most of your party members are dead, even if you have only one character alive, you could keep fighting until you win or die. However, when you pick someone as a party leader in Final Fantasy XIII and if that person is dead, it's an instant Game Over. WHY?!? I understand that this kind of mechanic to supposed to add some kind of challenge to the game, but when you fight either random enemies or a boss and they just constantly hit that particular the entire time until that character is dead, that makes the game feel pretty cheap.
