Even with a dip here and there, every title in the main series has had something to offer, bringing millions RPG entertainment of the highest quality. Now Square-Enix releases the unlucky number thirteen. Ending up on both high definition consoles, Final Fantasy XIII has been on show since the PS3's birth. While every game in the series receives years of production time, after playing the latest installment, you have to wonder what they were up to."
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."
Finally a honest non-fanboy review of FF XIII, unlike previous titles this one is the poorest when it comes to story and character connection the game play could have been a lot better knowing they got 3 plus years of development time.
Reason why I posted this review on here is because honest review that doesn't score the game high because of a franchise that's produced nothing but epic titles. FF XIII could have been much better story wise since that's one of my favorite things. The connection with you and the character is just not there. They didn't capture the audience like the previous games did.
If FF XIII was like this, I wonder how VS. will be. At least knowing it's only a MMO it'll help knowing that the story wont be there and there is nothing bad to come out of it.
Can't please everyone.
Not fair review. This game deserves at least 8. As Final Fantasy, this game is maybe a little poor, as a game overall it is still very good.
