In an interview with Famitsu Magazine, character designer Tetsuya Nomura spoke on the main titles to be released from Square Enix during 2007; and surprisingly, Final Fantasy XIII was not one of them.
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."
To tell you the truth, I'm not surprised at all. Seeing that Final Fantasy XII took about 3 years before released since it was announced (in Japan and then like six months later in Japan). Looking at Square's history, I have always been thinking that Japan will get the game, like the site says, early 2008 and will come about 1/2 a year later in North America.
It gives me more breathing space to beat FFXII which Im blown away by. I have not even scratched the surface yet though. Well at least square release games when they fell they are complete.
It's not "Play Beyond"......its "Wait Beyond"
I stopped playing JRPG's about 12 years ago. Has it progressed beyond a single button control scheme? With this type of game my experience has been, "Press the A button. Kill an enemy. Level up. Press the A button to kill a BIGGER enemy. Watch a cutscene. Drink a healing potion. Press A to kill another enemy..."
Give me some paper, pencil, and a d20 anytime.
There are atleast two posts that relate to the point behind the topic. I didn't think the others could hold off for long.
Anyway.. I'm not really a fan of FF but I enjoy what Square does with their games. I've watched many people play FF and I haven't been unimpressed yet. I don't mind the wait.. I might actually get this game. Let them do the work and it'll all come together in the end.
