The Rumble Pack writes: "Make no mistake, FFXIII is many parts old and many parts new, and it's more than a bit unreasonable to think that the majority of players would appreciate both parts equally. But on the positive side, I can't think of any thirteenth entry in a franchise outside of FFXIII that's garnered just as much positive buzz as it has negative."
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."
alot of stupid ps3 fanboys people said ff13 was such but ff13 is amazing game..
only butthurt ps3 fanboys blame of this.
and if your a real hardcore j-rpg fan like most of the FF13 players get the version of 360 cuz have the same graphics,textures, sound etc of ps3 for sure.
nuff said.
You are a joke if you are a real jrpg fan you would have a ps3 cause thats where the best jrpgs are not on the 360 you are just some lil xturd who started gaming 2 years ago.
While I am really enjoying FF XIII it just isn't what I want or expect when I buy a game with Final Fantasy in the title. But like I said I am enjoying it for what it is and I have about 90 hours in it so far and I am in chapter 11 with 80% of the quests completed.
I really enjoyed this game. Although, I did find it very linear, nevertheless I found it very good. If it wasn't so linear, it would be up there with my favourite ff's.
Would like to see a FF13-2 with alot more free roaming.
If you were a real J-rpg fan you shouldn't play this game. It's a shame Final Fantasy is my favourite series but this one was just dreadful, alot of people say nostalgia is a factor, I played FF8 again last week and it's still alot better than this Hollywood styled game.
