In a recent interview, Square Enix's Yoshinori Kitase revealed that the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII has not effected development in any way. Speaking at GamesCom, Kitase said:
"The important thing for us is that the game runs smoothly on both systems. We have made changes to the game, but nothing because of one system specifically – all changes have been made to get maximum performance."
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."
When you have to repeat the same thing so many times it's because it's a lie. =(
Square have said that same statement on every interview related with FFXIII and that's very sad... What are they fearing? Anyway, thanks Micro$oft, you really are making the industry better... Not.
Now developers don't make their games complete to then offer these other things as payed DLC. But people are so stupid... The Wii it's the #1 console so, what can one expect. >_>
not so confident about "where it matters".
On another note: three discs? Lost odyssey took 4 and by judging FFXIII's quality, sorry kitase but you'll have to supply a 4th disc IMO.
Well, to be fair, I think Square Enix really is doing everything in their power to make the game run as nicely as possible on both consoles. Would Final Fantasy XIII look better as a PS3 exclusive? Probably. But the fact that SE is trying to treat both consoles equally instead of the usual half-assed effort from other developers says a lot to me.
He said there's a large possibility that the game might end up on 4 discs. They're just "aiming" for 3.
Identical?! but how? Everyone here knows the 360 is holding FF13 real untapped power on the PS3 and that even thou it looks better now than it did in the 08 build..is obviouslyyy getting downgraded!!
