So, ignoring the mass amount of posts that have not played the game, here's the opinion from someone who has the game and platinum'd it.
(1) The combat is amazing, quite literally one of the most fun battle systems ever made. You can ignore the story, sidequests and everything about the game, and you will still want to play it because of the combat system.
(2) Lots of sidequests, a lot of them hidden and hard to find. Use a wiki if you want to get extra stats and goodies.
(3) The story is okay. You'll enjoy Lightning's sarcasm and wit when she shows it, and try to figure out wtf Lumina is.
(4) The timer is nothing to be afraid of. You get an ability to freeze the clock and can even spam it. Assuming you were to run out of time and game over, the game actually lets you start up a sort of "NG+", where you keep your stat upgrades, money, abilities, garbs and accessories that you had in your previous playthrough.
(5) In conclusion, even if you don't like Lightning or the XIII trilogy, you'll still have fun with the combat system, setting up garbs and learning how to kill EVERYTHING in seconds flat.
I'd give it a 7.6/10.
