I love the Final Fantasy series, I credit Final Fantasy 6 as the game that really truly and seriously got into gaming. The story, the graphics, the characters; everything sucked me into the games intricately crafted world. I wish Final Fantasy 13 did the same thing, I really do. But it doesn’t, in fact it’s a down right terrible game.
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
"So when I heard Final Fantasy 13 was finally being released on the Xbox 360 I was rather excited."
yet you failed to realize this is were SE dropped the ball
After hearing that Square doesn't consider story important in making a JRPG, apparently haven't for years, Have to say they dropped the ball long before XIII.
Really worry for vsXIII.
Final Fantasy XIII to me was pretty badass, I beat it first in March, and I'm still playing it, great characters(except for Vanille & Hope at the beginning but not in the middle when he man's up) The graphics were good, so was the battle system which is kinda hard to get used to at first but with a couple of battles anyone can easily learn it. The story was good(not as good as VI) but still good.
Most people say it's bad because either it's "not as good as VII" or its "linarity" but get this, VII had linarity too, and most people think 13 was good according to the sales.
Other FF games could not put down, this one I could not pick up. Just sold it for Red Dead FTW...
Oh the games flaws are SE fault not the Xbox I will probably not buy another game from them.
The game it's self seemed ridiculously flawed design wise. It has little to do with the fact that the game was on Xbox at all.
