Just bought this on amazon for like 5 Euro

fiveby92386d ago

Just purchased all three in the trilogy used for $15 U.S. Can't go wrong there.

bouzebbal2386d ago

Looks great!!!
Pity the game is crappy.

Army_of_Darkness2385d ago

Dont matter how gorgeous it is in 4k cause i would never reply it the second time... Forced myself the first time and barely touched the 2 & 3 installment.. Just sitting there collecting dust.

lxeasy2386d ago

whoa thats awesome. I love when dev take advantage of the Xbox One X power.

MadLad2386d ago (Edited 2386d ago )

Judging by the disagrees, it seems some people on N4G don't like developers taking advantage of the extra power in the X.

I wonder why that would be?
Hmm

Kyizen2386d ago

It's port of the PC assets. I wouldnt say a game from 2009 is using Xbox One X power. Id hope it could do better than that

Army_of_Darkness2385d ago

@tedcruz they are disagreeing because they wasted their time improving the visuals of a shitty game rather than a bunch of better deserving games out there.

MadLad2385d ago

@Army

Nah.
They're disagreeing because they're salty AF lol.

Jeeze that’s amazing. It’s like a free remaster

LegoIsAwesome2386d ago

Best feature of Xbox. BC alone is a console seller for me.

Ricegum2386d ago

Huh? Why didn't you just get a 360

Kribwalker2386d ago

@Unreal
https://n4g.com/news/478406...

the 360 version was 576p, that’s a huge bump up in resolution, that you’d only get on the X

Ricegum2386d ago

Krib

You've had that on PC since release. Is the Xbox One X still locked at 30fps?

slate912385d ago

@kirb

Legendary find. Did you also look at the toxic comment section? Wow lol.

Kribwalker2385d ago

@slate

Yeah man, that comment section was savage. A buddy of mine sent me that link when we were talking about the freemaster and i couldnt believe it

Gazondaily2385d ago

Lol "but why didn't you buy a 360?"

*knowledge dropped*

"but why didn't you buy it on PC?"

Unreal your 360 retort is the worst troll comment I've read in awhile. Clearly the Xbox One X version is superior to the 360 version

343_Guilty_Spark2385d ago

Itd the definitive console version

MadLad2386d ago

Xbox offers remasters at no cost.
Sony offers them at a premium.

mkis0072385d ago

If you think this is on the level of say Shadow of the colossus you are crazy.

MadLad2385d ago

Mkis

There's a difference betweem a remaster, as seen here, and a remake - such as the recent Spyro release.

Difference being, Sony makes you pay for both.

SierraGuy2385d ago (Edited 2385d ago )

F2P is false advertisement on Xbox live.

Master of Unlocking2385d ago

Wé actually pretty much never get any remasters on the PS4...

mkis0072385d ago

Hey you are the one saying Sony makes you pay for them...fact is they put a lot more into them than just bumping the resolution and anisotropic filtering.

Since when did Sony acquire the license for Spyro again? You keep attributing 3rd party remasters to Sony. Sony put's in a lot more effort than that.

CrimsonWing692385d ago (Edited 2385d ago )

Let’s not act like there’s none of those PS4 remasters on the Xbone. Hell, there was the DMC collection remaster which was already on Xbox 360... so why isn’t that one free?

carmelo432385d ago

so i guess onimusha should be free also when that launches? wait so why make a master chief collection

MadLad2385d ago

@mkis

I'm going to stop responding to you, being you're too dense to keep up with the conversation, and keep putting words in my mouth. My questions to leave you with, though, is where is the BC offered from Sony? Let alone the updated versions, offered on the simple fact you bought their console?

@carmelo and Crimson

If the updated release wasn't handled by Microsoft, of course, it's going to be for sale. That's a 3rd party product, looking to use Microsoft's system as a means to sell their product. But we have a company in Microsoft, looking to all of these old games, and making modernized versions of them, for free, simply as a thank you for purchasing the console. On the other side, you have Sony, who cut out BC, completely, early last generation, and then released countless remasters that entire generation; throwing everything else, unaltered, up on their online store, for a premium.

mkis0072383d ago (Edited 2383d ago )

Ad Hominem... You have no argument. And you outright lie in what you type.

timotim2386d ago

Wow...I might actually pick up the game now. It will get added to the back log, but what else is new...

Matrix62386d ago

I'd be beggin like Madcon for a Remaster of the Trilogy.

timotim2386d ago

No need to beg...these enhanced versions bump the native resolution up to native 4k...for a game I might already have or can get on the cheap... Ill take that all day long!

Matrix62386d ago

You're so correct! Unfortunately, I don't own an Xbox One console. I'll just have to deal with it.

The 7 Best Final Fantasy Characters: Unveiling the Legends

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.

220°

The older it gets, the more I respect Final Fantasy XIII

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."

Einhander1972522d ago

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.

Nyxus522d ago

I always liked this game, and I agree, a rerelease for current gen would be nice.

Shane Kim520d ago (Edited 520d ago )

Gotta take off the nostalgia glasses. It's the worst FF. Shiva as a bike, I mean come on.

Elda520d ago

Shiva as a bike is strange but saying FFXIII is the worst FF is not at all a fact, that's simply your opinion.

Terry_B520d ago

*One of the 3 equally bad FF's

DivineHand125520d ago (Edited 520d ago )

When I got my series X a year ago, I bought FF13 for nostalgia reasons but ended up being disappointed. When I first played it around the time it launched, I didn't have a lot of experience with final fantasy games, so I enjoyed it. Fast forward to when I played it again, I found that the game had many unnecessary filler moments instead of just giving us meaningful content.

The game is also very linear and a quote on the article said it best. "It is like a sewage pipe that leads to the ocean until it opens up on Grand Pulse."

The story didn't make much sense either and I believe it is my mistake as I played the FF7 remake on PS5 prior which is a night and day difference in terms of pacing, storytelling and likeable characters even though cloud is aloof.

FinalFantasyFanatic520d ago (Edited 520d ago )

Probably was a mistake to play any of the golden era FFs first (e.g. FF6 through FF10), it makes it harder to enjoy some of the FFs that aren't as good. I think FF12 was where major issues with the series started becoming apparent, and it just got worse from there.

FinalFantasyFanatic520d ago (Edited 520d ago )

I didn't really care for it that much, the only saving grace was that it had a better story than 15 (overall it was better than 15) and possibly 12, and even then, you had to read some of it through primers, like reading a book. Plus the battle system was reasonably fun for what it was, even if it was more the spectacle that was exciting for me (e.g. summoning). And to be fair, the 13 trilogy got better with every games, I still don't like Snow though.

Gamingsince1981520d ago

Ff13 is only good if you haven't played a ff before, or any other games that are decent for that matter.

-Foxtrot520d ago

It is in fact no way the best Final Fantasy game, it's one of the worst

Linear corridors, Cutscene, Fight, Cutscene...rinse and repeat

Dialogue and characters are pretty bad, especially Lightning as the main FF hero, they literally said they tried to make a "Female Cloud" and they failed.

Story was pretty awful

I could go on

I think the only alright thing that came from the game was the music.

Elda519d ago

That's not a fact that's your personal opinion. The game sold 11 million copies between its 2009 release up until 2014 including critically reviewed as an 8 out of 10 or an 80 out of 100. The game does have some issues but it's not at all a fact as one of the worst FF games.

-Foxtrot519d ago

Elda

Not just mine mate

A large majority

So….

Traecy519d ago

N4G commenters such as yourself aren't the majority. The game was well received.

gold_drake522d ago (Edited 522d ago )

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

Eonjay520d ago

Xbox kinda did. Besides the video files of course which are still best on PS3 due to bluray.

Snookies12522d ago

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!

Eonjay520d ago

Totally agree. FF 13 was okay but 13-2 is my favorite FF game ever.

shinoff2183522d ago (Edited 522d ago )

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

KillerB520d ago

my favorite jrpg trilogy ever
