The latest Final Fantasy XIII-2 trailer treats players to a plethora of new footage. This trailer analysis looks at some of the new reveals, whilst looking at some things you might have missied.
Final Fantasy 13 was first introduced to us back in 2009, almost four years after Final Fantasy 12 was released, and fans had been eagerly anticipating the next installment. But when it finally arrived, there were mixed reactions, including complaints about its linearity, the lack of towns and NPCs, and the limited control over the characters. At the time, Square Enix kept its game production behind closed doors and didn't take in a lot of feedback — especially from Western fans.
The game has been revisited by many different Final Fantasy fans since then, and some, like myself, have come to love it again. Almost all staple entries in the series have found their way to modern consoles, so it's about time that the FF13 trilogy gets a remaster
I've been thinking about this. I agree. While I really disliked it at first I never played it again. After hating ff15 so damn much I just think it can't be worse then 15 and if I'm not mistaken atleast it's turn based. I need more of that in my life.
Recently replayed them and I agree a remaster would be great. The complaints about linearity are fair, but they only really apply to the first half of the first game and while I agree that it would've been nice to have proper towns, minigames and subquests, it didn't detract from the intriguing story, interesting characters, tactical gameplay and amazing soundtrack in my opinion.
XIII-2 fixes a lot of the issues of XIII and expands on the story in interesting ways. The combat and progression builds on top of the systems of XIII and the nonlinearity and discoverability of secrets is a big inprovement over the original game. It's easily the best game of the trilogy.
Lightning Returns was probably a bit too experimental for it's own good. It tried to reinvent the wheel for no reason. The solo party for most of the game and the outfit based combat felt like a downgrade over XIII-2 combat system. It does have a unique vibe, but the plot kinda goes off the rails and many of the story beats didn't land as much for me as they did in the first two games. The race against time aspect was an interesting idea, but it never felt like it mattered, because it wasn't much of a challenge to manage the remaining time even while doing all the subquests.
As we celebrate Final Fantasy’s 35th anniversary, let’s look back at the underrated soundtracks of the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy.
It's alright but I mean with so many other FF games it's not even in the top 10 for me
You just can't beat IX, VII, X and my personal favourite VIII when it comes to music
Even the theme song sucks, instead of just having an English version of the Japanese theme they got X Factors Leona Lewis to do the song which didn't sound like FF theme song.
I agree, regardless of the general consensus of the game itself, FF rarely lets down when it comes to the music at least.
Modder 'MJB' has released an AI-enhanced HD Texture Pack for Final Fantasy XIII-2.
Looks awesome!
I did like the original Final Fantasy 13, so this shouldn't be much different. I am still impressed with the graphics as well. Great analysis mate, enjoyed it and I hope everything holds true
Dear SquareEnix,
Where is Final Fantasy Vs 13 I have been waiting patiently for that game. You tease the fans with screen shots and videos of the game. But I don't see any new information on the game like a release date its as thoe the hype for Final Fantasy Vs 13 is almost fizzled down. You worked hard on this sequal to FF13 wich does look great. But SquareEnix its not game I have been waiting for please bring out new information about Final Fantasy Vs 13 that would be great or this fan is going else where.
damn that trailer looked like a final fantasy game not like a wow was that suppose to be final fantasy...most defiantly will be gettin this game it looked amazing from the trailer..oh and i dont care what no body saids about FF13 so far every FF game I have played I have really enjoyed including crystal chronicles and dirge of cerberus
Lol. The whole Snow thing was a localization error:
http://finalfantasy-xiii.ne...
She refers to him as a 大事な人, which literally means "Important person", which a much more ambiguous meaning than friend--although both texts imply that her and Snow may have not yet married.
I hope this clears things up for some people.
