In the mythical land of North America, where Final Fantasy sells far better than Dragon Quest, fans of Square Enix's flagship series have been foaming at the mouth for more details on the elusive Final Fantasy XIII, which was originally announced in a teaser trailer at E3 2006. Since then, Squeenix has spoon-fed the masses with merely minuscule morsels of information, which its ravenous fan base has been more than willing to pounce upon, devour, and scour the net in hopes of even more. But, will the game be able to live up to the excellence of its antecedents and deliver on years of media hype by the time of its release? Well, from what's been made known so far, it certainly seems to be following the series' pattern, making just enough changes to be fresh but keeping just enough tradition to be Final Fantasy.
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."
FF is by far the best rpg franchise ever(my opinion)...
Just stay true to the franchise and don't rush things and you got a great FF game...
So its good that they are taking their time of the next FF games :)
final fantasy versus 13 seems so kool... the music in the trailer for versus reminds me of the good old final fantasy x game
When this game drops, I will have to hide in my little corner of the universe trying to get every little piece of the treasure...
BTW...to Squeenix...No more FFIX. My head and heart couldn't take it.
I miss the turned based stuff. I will most likely get this, but I really miss the engine of FFX, a lot. I dont know why there is such a large fad going on the past couple of years swaying towards fast real time battles.
Gotta agree FF12 kind turned me off with the applying protect every 35 seconds, with shell. but since I beat it i now use a Codebreaker an whalaw, big ass difference. I have Protect Shell Haste ect forever. I also upgraded my weak ass Espers to their full Penitential! Like how they're suppose to be. Anyone that hates on codebreaker, or consider us as cheaters, lack Creativeness an you didn't buy us the game, so don't complain! I'm looking forwards to the new Shiva aka my Favorite Summoning next to Levithan. FF13 looks promising an I can't wait to play it on the PS3 next year Believe It!
