It's no secret that Square-Enix has moved its hovering attack cursor over the West for some time now. Last March the developer set up shop in Los Angeles as part of a strategy to tap into the lucrative North American market. Their aim was to create games that tapped into the Western gamers' mindset. Game Development Manager Fumi Shiraishi would later go on record in a 2009 interview with Ars Technica to explain that "Square Enix isn't necessarily shifting – it's more of a growth. The stuff (Japanese games created by Square Enix) does what it is supposed to do…but the Japanese market isn't growing."
While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.
Alex Donaldson: "Hindsight is a hell of a thing, however, and in the years since Final Fantasy XIII, my respect for the decisions its developers made has skyrocketed. In the two Final Fantasy titles since we see both the brilliance and the folly in alternative approaches - and in Final Fantasy VII Remake, we get a more nuanced understanding of what FF13 was trying to accomplish from many of the same development leads."
FFXIII is actually one of the best Final Fantasy games.
I also sort of was disappointed at the time, never as much as the bandwagon. But really all the fantastic 3D rendered cutscenes and I actually liked the characters and the story though convoluted was actually fantastic and the ending was extremely emotional. So much budget and time were put into that game Square had such big plans, I actually have always felt kind of bad for how things played out.
I have been thinking for years how great it would be to get all three games on one disk for PS4 or 5.
i liked the game alot but i didnt like how they handled the terminology.
i dont mind reading data logs but it had soo many.
but i always loved the music and how it looked. the battle system wasnt too bad either.
but i like 13-2 more :)
i still dont understand why we never got a remaster of the trilogy
XIII is a pretty solid game, but XIII-2 is WAY better. XIII-2 was one of the few games I decided to go for a Platinum trophy in, early on. Had so much fun the entire way through getting it too!
I hated this to when it released. I haven't much liked a ff game since ff10 as much , aside from ff7remake. I decided to give it another shot on my series x since it's not on a current ps and was liking it quite a bit(just takes me some time to get over things ) until star ocean 2 remake came out I was all over that.
Square should definitely remaster it or something for ps4 ps5
Square Enix Blog: "How do you compose iconic songs that help define a legacy? We speak to legendary composer Masashi Hamauzu about his work on Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XIII, and Final Fantasy VII Remake, and how to make unforgettable music."
Of course this was obvious months ago.
360 version FTW /s
lol
Yes it was, this is a four year in the making flop. Amazing how they pulled it off with all that money and time. Only people still praising this game are virgins who like the girl in it, or gays who like the metrosexual boys.
The only reason why I am getting the game is because it has final fantasy in its' name and ofcourse I am getting the superior version, the PS3 version.
What did they give the ps3 version a 8.5/10?
