In the fifth and final part of this series, it's time to explore the most recent mainline entries into the Final Fantasy franchise and deep dive into their battle and leveling systems.
Gary Green said: With my fondness for (most) Final Fantasy games and my side goal of finishing off games in my collection with loose ends, a return to Final Fantasy XV seemed inevitable. It also serves as my third Final Fantasy platinum trophy after VII and VIII, a reasonable substitute since Final Fantasy IX is nigh on impossible to master.
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
“Final Fantasy XV was the antitheses of Final Fantasy XIII”
No kidding.
- Final Fantasy XIII and its sequels that take place in fantastical worlds that are literally and culturally disconnected. Final Fantasy XV takes place in a whole, connected world with a lot of ties to our own real world.
- Final Fantasy XII has a bright color scheme with the main characters’ clothing. Final Fantasy XV has a dark color scheme with its main characters’ clothing.
- Final Fantasy XIII is about defying the will of the gods and the roles the crystals have placed upon them. Final Fantasy XV is about fulfilling the will of the gods and stepping into the role the crystals set out.
- Final Fantasy XIII starts out with a party that hates one another and the cast routinely get switched around. Final Fantasy XV starts out with a party that loves one another and they stay with each other for most of the game.
- Final Fantasy XIII has a happy ending. Final Fantasy XV has a bittersweet sad ending.
- Final Fantasy XIII has no DLC while Final Fantasy XV has an abundance of DLC.
I actually thought the FF13 story was miles better than FF15
