As we all know, havoc and dismay and a lot of questions ensued after Square Enix's big surprise at E3, many pinning Square Enix's decision on the lower install base of the PS3 (14 Million) compared to the Xbox 360 (19 Million). However, a glance at last generation sales trends for sequels, this assumption is not accurate.
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

Final Fantasy is Final Fantasy because of Sony. Their FF7, FF8, FF9, FFX, FFXII, etc. Its all big success, exclusives to Sony on PS1 and PS2. If the PlayStation 1 and 2 didnt had this massive success over the planet, the Final Fantasy franchise wouldnt be that much big.
This seems to be where the industry is going so I think both 360 owners and PS3 owners are going to get a lot more of this.
I am done with using it as ammo because just as soon as PS3 loses one, the 360 loses one. It just seems to be a reality of the business now and I hate it.
MS is in the toughest position here because while Sony/Ninty have plenty of first party studios for exclusives, MS is hurting.
It was because they wanted to get more potential sales from the 360 audience. After not releasing any BIG games for the last few years, they need to quickly make a profit.
