Despite many positive critical reviews, a significant quantity of the Final Fantasy fanbase dislikes Final Fantasy XIII. But is that hate warranted?
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."
Thank you! I think people unfairly judge this title. It does have its problems but it was good fun overall. i love FFX as well but I also liked FFXIII.
It definitely is. Loved the game. I don't get RPG fans and I'm one myself.
It wasn't my favorite series but 1 and 2 weren't as bad as some people made it seem.
I didn't mind the linear part in the beginning of XIII or the combat, in fact I prefer the combat of 13 a little more than what I am experiencing in 15.
13-2 I enjoyed a lot more than 13-1. My only gripe was that I wish instead of recruiting monsters you actually recruited party members like the old FF. This is probably what I miss most with the recent FF games. Going to a new town or bumping into a new side quest that may give you a new party member.
13-3 was absolute trash. There was just nothing redeeming about it. Couldn't even get halfway through without sending it back to gamefly.
My other gripe about the series as a whole is how convoluted and ridiculous the plot was. Especially from one part to the next. I seriously had little to no clue what was happening.
No. It's an unforgivable sin as far as I'm concerned, and should generally be so.
It is the outline of an RPG story, making it's game mechanics little more than busy work.
That the "FF13 Trilogy" is regarded as a single game, nevermind how disjointed they are from each other, says as much.
FFXIII isn't perfect but it's not that bad, especially in comparison to FFII and the original FFXIV
