Square Enix PR is having it a bit rough these past few days, it seems. Late last week they were accused of faking FF13 360 screenshots by photoshopping 360 buttons onto PS3 screens, and now they've released a batch of screens that have been seemingly hastily captured.
The screenshots sport particularly nasty JPEG compression, while some feature strange black borders that suggest speedy cropping. One even features the mouse of the person who captured them, suggesting they may well have been captured from a video using the Windows Print Screen function.
The new batch of screenshots were released to appease the backlash from the edited 360 shots. Not the best look for the Xbox 360 version.
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
Smells like More PS3 fan plotting(NOWGAMER). The plan is working some PS3 fans in the first article are saying the 360 version looks like st*t if they where really 360 pics which most people thought they were PC pics.
EDIT
See the goal was to ultimately start a smear campaign just as #2.2 is doing now.
(puts hand in pants)
Let's Rock.
360 version must really look that bad.
Disaster after disaster.
