RPG Site has reviewed the X360 version of Final fantasy 13. The PS3 version was reviewed before which got 8.5/10.
"Fifteen points may seem like an awful lot to dock for things that are essentially graphical issues, but Final Fantasy XIII puts so much importance in its story and visual presentation that the loss in quality here doesn't leave just a less crisp picture - it leaves a ripple of negativity that sullies a significant chunk of the experience. "
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."
anyway i guess almost everyone is getting the ps3 version which got 8.5
which do u prefer?
576p FMV
576p ingame
compressed audio
3 DVD discs
or 1080p FMV
720p ingame
uncompressed audio
1 Full Blu Ray
u tell me?
BS the xbox 360 version can't be worse than 15%!
n this is coming froma PS3 fan
I like whena PS3 version has a tiny difference EVERYONE makes a big fuss. Check Bayonetta but if a 360 is considerably worse then barely any reviewers points it out. For 2 reasons.
1. They feel sorry for the 360 version
2. When Microsoft announced FFXIII on 360 they ALL made big articles about PS3 being doomed and now PS3 is outselling the 360 and the PS3 has a superior line up.
Though it does seem like a fairly large disparity in scores given that the only difference is graphical quality, I do respect this site (and AP), so it must have particularly bothered them.
Anyway, my PS3 CE will arrive on Tue, can't wait.
