Final Fantasy XIII screens: Redheads, robots and Cid

Another day, another batch of freshly baked Final Fantasy XIII screenshots for your stick your snouts into like rampant pigs hunting for succulent truffles. This new selection of imagery shows off red-haired Oerba and her summon, Hecatoncheir. This Eidolon has a bunch of arms that turn into machine guns. Hot.

Gears of War could never be done on PS3.
Gear of War is gonna have the best graphics ever.
Gear of War only possible on 360 thanks to DV9 and inferior hardware.

Hahahahhaha hahahahaha i miss those good old day's when bots use to say those pathetic comments.

Good luck with those 5 discs when trying to go back to certain places that were early on the game. Pray that Square makes something so you can swap discs in backwards when you wanna do some backtracking...

jadenkorri5282d ago

had FF13 released on ps3 first world wide, then released to 360, then you are right, however since there releasing both same time, with the 360 supposedly gonna look exactly the same, one can only surmise that the ps3 version is getting gimped. The screen shots look great I tell ya, but the first thing I'm comparing is the demo verses the release, of course both on ps3. I would compare the 360 but I believe square enix will make them the same.

MetalGearRising5282d ago

Hahahahaha pathetic got u and u don't even realize.

abc12335282d ago

meh, good for you that you got ff13 on 360, now more people can play the awesome game I guess. but you'd be a dumbass if you believe that the 360 version will be better than the ps3 version (considering you're a 360 fanboy dumbass, i'm sure you take this stance) since the ps3 version is the lead version and both versions will either be the same or the ps3 version will be better. So all in all, the ps3 version will most likely sell more, will be more user friendly without the disk swapping, and will most likely look and run better. So again, congrats on getting ff13, but us ps3 users don't mind since we'll get the better version

silkrevolver5282d ago

The 7 Best Final Fantasy Characters: Unveiling the Legends

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.

The older it gets, the more I respect Final Fantasy XIII

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."

Einhander1972153d ago

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.

Nyxus153d ago

I always liked this game, and I agree, a rerelease for current gen would be nice.

Shane Kim151d ago (Edited 151d ago )

Gotta take off the nostalgia glasses. It's the worst FF. Shiva as a bike, I mean come on.

Elda151d ago

Shiva as a bike is strange but saying FFXIII is the worst FF is not at all a fact, that's simply your opinion.

Terry_B151d ago

*One of the 3 equally bad FF's

DivineHand125151d ago (Edited 151d ago )

When I got my series X a year ago, I bought FF13 for nostalgia reasons but ended up being disappointed. When I first played it around the time it launched, I didn't have a lot of experience with final fantasy games, so I enjoyed it. Fast forward to when I played it again, I found that the game had many unnecessary filler moments instead of just giving us meaningful content.

The game is also very linear and a quote on the article said it best. "It is like a sewage pipe that leads to the ocean until it opens up on Grand Pulse."

The story didn't make much sense either and I believe it is my mistake as I played the FF7 remake on PS5 prior which is a night and day difference in terms of pacing, storytelling and likeable characters even though cloud is aloof.

FinalFantasyFanatic151d ago (Edited 151d ago )

Probably was a mistake to play any of the golden era FFs first (e.g. FF6 through FF10), it makes it harder to enjoy some of the FFs that aren't as good. I think FF12 was where major issues with the series started becoming apparent, and it just got worse from there.

FinalFantasyFanatic151d ago (Edited 151d ago )

I didn't really care for it that much, the only saving grace was that it had a better story than 15 (overall it was better than 15) and possibly 12, and even then, you had to read some of it through primers, like reading a book. Plus the battle system was reasonably fun for what it was, even if it was more the spectacle that was exciting for me (e.g. summoning). And to be fair, the 13 trilogy got better with every games, I still don't like Snow though.

Gamingsince1981151d ago

Ff13 is only good if you haven't played a ff before, or any other games that are decent for that matter.

-Foxtrot151d ago

It is in fact no way the best Final Fantasy game, it's one of the worst

Linear corridors, Cutscene, Fight, Cutscene...rinse and repeat

Dialogue and characters are pretty bad, especially Lightning as the main FF hero, they literally said they tried to make a "Female Cloud" and they failed.

Story was pretty awful

I could go on

I think the only alright thing that came from the game was the music.

Elda150d ago

That's not a fact that's your personal opinion. The game sold 11 million copies between its 2009 release up until 2014 including critically reviewed as an 8 out of 10 or an 80 out of 100. The game does have some issues but it's not at all a fact as one of the worst FF games.

-Foxtrot150d ago

Elda

Not just mine mate

A large majority

So….

Traecy150d ago

N4G commenters such as yourself aren't the majority. The game was well received.

gold_drake153d ago (Edited 153d ago )

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

Eonjay151d ago

Xbox kinda did. Besides the video files of course which are still best on PS3 due to bluray.

Snookies12153d ago

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!

Eonjay151d ago

Totally agree. FF 13 was okay but 13-2 is my favorite FF game ever.

shinoff2183153d ago (Edited 153d ago )

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

KillerB151d ago

my favorite jrpg trilogy ever
