The-MagicBox: "Here are some new screens of Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIII for PS3 and Xbox 360. From the images you can find an all new summon beast with heavy armor, which was summoned by the enemies from the Holy Government of Cocoon..."
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."
Next week ill get my FF13 Demo!
*yawn*
Not a beast or living/ mythic entity.
They really need to figure out their design and concept issues. They've gone way to Sci-fi with the series over the last few iterations for it to have any appeal for me.
Where's the freaking FANTASY???
I'll probably still buy the game anyhow. Man, I hate this gen :)
Edit: I see where you're coming from, but I still don't think that the series has much of an identity or soul. It's getting more and more all over the place. Bazookas, hovercrafts, robots, laser guns. Evil Empires. What next, the Force? Wait they call it something else in this (and I'm not kidding, there is a "mysterious power" mentioned in the trailer). And have you seen the Empire soldiers? They are STORMTROOPERS. I don't even follow Star Wars beyond the first three movies and the similarities are glaring.
I'd just like something fresh yet within the genre (fantasy RPG) that I enjoy. If I can't get that from Final "Fantasy" - the people who put the genre on the map - what gives? Trying to please every audience is a recipe for a mess and a lot of disappointment.
i own every final fantasy game out there.(6 is the best then 4 then 12 to me) But i have to be honest. I am not excited about this one. It might be great and of course i will purchase it on the first day but something about this one is turning me off a little.
