GamingUnion.net: "Final Fantasy XIII is easily the best JRPG of this generation, and one of the best RPGs too. It looks amazing, and the battle system is a breath of fresh air. The refinements that have been made make battles exhilerating, and while some control has been taken away, it seems necessary. The story, while not the strongest, still serves as a suitable vessel and it offers something different. Its linearity helps too, as it works in tandem with the story. Final Fantasy is about innovation, not making the same game again. Based on that premise Final Fantasy XIII is a success and it pushes the genre yet again."
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

Awesome getting this hopefully tomorrow morning can't wait to get my teeth into it now.
man oh man, and Im getting the 360 version >d
Sounds like it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. :)
this reviewer must be in europe or an xbot because Demon's Souls is the best JRPG of this generation. yeah, it sucks that some people can't play that masterpiece
exclusive takes that one with demon souls
