Although Japan has already received Square Enix's latest installment in the Final Fantasy series, North America and Europe gamers can now be excited as Final Fantasy XIII will finally hit our retail stores in just a few short days. For those of you desperately wanting more info or desiring to see what the critics think to help validate your purchase, look no further. With over 34 reviews for FFXIII already in GameStats and more coming by the second, let's see how it's faring.
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."
I feel like this will be longest 4 days in my life.
cant wait for ff13. sooooooo long since the lastone. =D
I really don't get why their review is still delayed, but they're releasing articles doing void-filling stat analysis. Is Ryan Clements just not done with it yet? If that's the case, then that rumor posting of the perfect 10 leak would be complete fakery.
I guess you've gotta complete the game to really review a story-driven thing like XIII, but the way this has played out is a bit silly. They didn't have a Slim and a retail copy somewhere?
I guess that's what happens when you gimp games that could've been far better.
