In all of those (except Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core) I think you select 3 members of your party to play and you can switch between controlling those characters. And if the selected party members die it’s game over. In a way that’s similar to FFXIII since you still have other (non-selected) members of your party that are basically just standing there, off screen, while the rest are being killed. But I agree that it takes some extra attention to keep the party leader alive in FFXIII. I’ve only played Final Fantasy X and later.

Only thing I don't like is if the party leader dies, it's game over!!! That sucks, who came up with that one? Pretty sure its not been done before on a FF game.... Has it?

There IS vibration in this game. I just noticed it after playing the game for 17 hours :lol: There is no vibration during cut-scenes nor when you summon Eidolons (in FFX you had to hold on tight to the controller when summoning or it would escape). There is however vibration during battle - when you get hit and when you stagger an enemy. But the controller doesn't go "durrrrrr". Instead it goes "dud" for each hit you take. And "dud" when the enemy gets staggered. I just noticed it when I got hit by a gatling gun and a bunch of missiles at once. I have to revise what I wrote above. There IS vibration in this game.
