Gary Swaby at The Koalition writes: After getting a chance to try out the release of Final Fantasy XIII I was shocked at the lack of optimal options in the game, and even more shocked to learn that the game only supported a 720p resolution. Almost all PC games that want to be taken seriously will provide settings for users to adjust the game based on their hardware (the biggest exception being games from decades ago), but Final Fantasy XIII lacked any graphical or audio settings.
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."
no where near as lazy as Dead Rising 3 Pc port
that pissed me off greatly
which is strange since all Capcom Pc ports are pretty great and run great
I've never gotten into the Final Fantasy series, but I may try with Final fantasy XV. It's disappointing to hear that the specs are dumbed down on the PC version of Final Fantasy XIII. Square Enix better not do this with XV because if they do, PC gamers will be livid.
What makes no sense is PC gamers expecting something out of a company that makes console games.
And then the BS mentality that PC is "the best market" when all the money is coming from cheap steam releases, MMO subs and microtransactions.
And F*** the game itself is a piece of s***.
The whole final fantasy 13 is a lazy game in general. I know there are handful of people who love the 13 series. But the majority of the people hates it.
At this point Square Enix is just trying to get money for nothing, and their chicks for free.
