For Lightning Returns I gave you my personal opinion, which I think is more valuable than professional American reviews.
When it comes to reviews, it's interesting to see that all Final Fantasy games are better received in Japan and in Europe.
FFXIII and its sequels aren't that fundamentally different from previous Final Fantasy titles. The fighting system is always a bit similar with some elements unique to the title, sequels are more mission based, and most titles take place in a world mixing magic and technology, as opposed to the classic sword & sorcery theme of most western RPGs.
There are a lot of similarities with FFX, FFVIII and FFVII.
