"During a trailer released earlier today, Square-Enix talked up the Final Fantasy series like never before, with a huge production to announce the North American release date. Interviews with the creators, gameplay footage, and a ton of CG action build up the reveal of 3.09.10. This is huge news, since most assumed the game was still a good distance away from a North American release. However, that's not what caught my eye. At the end of the trailer, he says that Final Fantasy XIII is "Possibly the most anticipated gaming release of all time." An extremely bold thing to say for sure, but is it an overstatement?"
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."
lol No its far from it... I think the FF brand is getting a bad name for itself as people dont seem too happy with FFX-2, FF11 and FF12... If this game is not up to standards im going to find it hard to get hyped for any more FF games...
So Last Week MW2 was the "Most Anticipated Gaming Release of All Time" and now It's FFXIII ?
Not even close. It's Modern Warfare 2. Duh. Why is this even a question? And it will be that way till the sequel of something else comes along in 5 years.
No, it's not. I lost most of my interest after the game taking so long to be released.
Final Fantasy XIII is THE reason why I bought a PS3 on launch day. It's a major franchise which I knew I would continue to love. Games such as Little Big Planet, Uncharted and other new and exclusive PS3 IP's were / are / will continue to be BIG bonuses! Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
