FFXIII straight to shit

Sad, i was waiting this game, and its really awesome to see how a good videogame series can be in the top some years and suddenly, a big fall to reach this, really really sad.

BTW, i said it before, but my god why i have the same feelin with the new game of Fate, Fate/Extra.

Glad I didnt pre-order it then. I think ill give this bad boy a miss! :)

My good buddy'll probably try to bullshit me when he makes the mistake of buying this Turkey to buy it myself, NO SALE amigo! :lol:

Glad I didnt...

That seems to be the truth. Man, I still can't believe how lazy they got, after having made some of the best RPGs ever (FFX being my favorite RPG of all).


New generation doesn't mean people don't give a shit anymore. If anything, people are becoming more demanding.


The persona series instantly comes to mind, as it's been greatly one-uping their predecessors.


I doubt he got it that far. And even if he did, you couldn't get away with that in any of the previous Final Fantasys. You had to at least use apropriate spells. But not anymore. This is just sad man.
ps: Me adressing your points separately is not meant to sound hostile, just to make it simpler.

The one where you can't skip cutscenes/tutorials, endure bad voice acting and kill the final boss in one hit?

Hmm never played persona. But that proves my point sorta. Theres barely any games you can compare with those.
And we don't know if you can easily get away with that in FF 13. He did 13k with a summon per hit. thats hard to believe. I understand that you are breaking it down to make it simpler. Now that controlling one character at a time. That sounds ok to me. Rather control 3 but 1 is fine. Kinda reminds me of Tales of Vesperia since I mainly used Yuri and let the others do whatever they want.

Which final fantasy have you played? Also which systems are they on since I only have a ps3 and a nitendo ds

-The cutscenes were generally interesting and good, and only became boring if you were playing the game through a second or third time
-The voice acting was bad? Sometimes the characters lookd emotionless, but the counterbalanced that well in other parts
-The "final boss" was not yu-yevon. You can't even die during that fight. The real last boss was Braska's final aeon.

Lazy, I thought you were better than this.

ps: Crap, I accidentaly deleted my reply to hokuto. I'll do it in the afternoon, gotta run now.

LOL.




Thus reducing greatly replay value. Sitting through the same cutscene again is annoying. People want to play, but the game won't let you until it's all said and done.




Doesn't change the fact that it's bad.






Been years since, but I remember the last boss having 99999 hp. One hit, and he was dead. Then cue the end scene, credits, then a teaser of 10-2.

Ill check it out. And X-2 reminded me of Charlies Angels

Also I just realized. Your calling FF 7,8,10 and tactics shit. Something is wrong there.

I am gonna pick up a second copy of the game just because of this. Seriously though, this in no way has deterred me from purchasing my copy of FF13 at a midnight release. I am gonna enjoy this game no matter what. And to be honest this is a little more lame than I was expecting it to be, but it's still FF in glorious HD and I get to play it for hours on end. I take enjoyment from just that so mission accomplished for me.

FF13 Versus will be the better of the two and that's not just because I am hoping for it. The team behind Versus also did Kingdom Hearts so I have confidence in them.

That's a terrible joke. FF is beautiful, why would you take a redeeming quality that I find about the game and make a play on words like that? If you didn't mean that as a direct insult on an aspect of the game that I liked and were just saying it because it was funny to you, no problem, but this is turning into a flame FF thread, though it might have been that from the beginning.

The part I am most angry about is the mashing the circle button. MOST RAGE

Final Fantasy IV fans unite!



Blasphemy! While IV and VI are my favorite FF games, II and V are also very enjoyable (especially if you play it on an emulator to fast forward through the grinding), and IX is great (for a 3D FF) if you prefer the original 2D games over the new crappy 3D ones.

While I haven't watched the video's or read/watched any other reviews yet it makes me happy to know that my cynicism was correct as far as FF XIII goes. After seeing that it was going to be similar to FF 12 in gameplay style I immediately checked out and stopped caring. Maybe I'll pick it up when I can get it for $20 or less, but hell I still haven't picked up 12 so that shows how big of a chance there is of me getting XIII. Fuck SE, they're getting worse as the years go on... soon enough I'm even going to stop caring about Dragon Quest... at least they finally brought back the class system in DQIX.

I actually enjoyed Tidus'es voice actor very much, he was one of the best actors i've heard.




Jecht 1st form 80000 2nd form 120000 *2hits to K.O.

Yu Yevon 99999.

Bro, how shallow are you? You will buy the game just because of the visuals and the name?


I wouldn't keep my hopes too high if I were you. Don't get me wrong, I love Kingdom Hearts to death and I would love to have a similar type Final Fantasy game. But the way Square has been treating their games for the last few years is just insulting.


What part of X-2 made it better than X? It felt like a punch in the face to me. :\
From the characters, to the non-linearity, to the story and the gameplay.


Greatly reducing replay value? Dude, X has tons of sidequests. You'll have so much to keep busy with you probably won't finish them all. The only reason you would replay the game would be for maybe some nostalgia times, or to get the stats and items right for the ultimate weapons and bosses.

And how exactly does that make me shallow? Because I don't hate the bad aspects of the game enough to wash over what I actually want from it? I was hyped for FF 13 because I love their stories and visuals, sorry if that seems shallow to you, but I always thought that was the main selling point to it.

In my opinion people were expecting too much from this game and to be fair to FF13 they were set back a year and a half, so pressure to turn out must have been intense. I have seen reviews for this game that range from 120/100 a score so amazing it laughs in the face of mathematics, to this guy's rage review where he bitches for 30 minutes.



Nomura has never made a game that wasn't awesome in my opinion, so yeah I have a lot of faith in him. Everything from his promise of a Kingdom Hearts style combat system to bringing back the world map.



I agree with this.
