The recent negative feedback surrounding Final Fantasy XIII appears to have taken its toll; either that, or God of War III is just that good and there isn't a single solitary PlayStation 3 owner who doesn't plan to buy it in a few weeks. Of course, we should probably consider its exclusive status as another driving force behind these poll results, but either way, SCEA Santa Monica's impending gem won't disappoint anyone. That footage on GTTV was downright amazing, the demo was bad-ass (even though it's nearly a year old) and basically, the idea of a sub-par God of War is totally foreign to everyone. The beautiful, visceral, brutal experience that will be this third installment has garnered a ton of attention, even if it's the end of the trilogy. That's sad news, in a way, but SCEA has already said the franchise won't just disappear, even if they decide to push ahead without Kratos. It'd be tough to embrace a new series iteration with the bald brawler but at this point, I think we all have plenty of faith in these developers.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
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
CUT TOO MUCH GAMEPLAY
Obviously.
Wow, so a PS3 website makes a poll where the PS3 exclusive wins and this is considered newsworthy that God of War "trounces" FF13. Two completely different games get compared for no reason at all. Makes perfectly rational sense to put this on the front page of N4G.
fanboys and casual love GOW
no surprise here
if my PS3 WAS WORKING MAYBE IT WOULD!!!!! ;)
