NowGamer: A game that never comes together properly. However, the certain individual aspects of the game and its battle system are of such high quality that it's still engaging and fun to play... most of the time...
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."
The series has been pants since FFX. Even that was dull as hell.
it seems like this is the lowest rated Final fantasy game so far. Then again, this is still not the english version that's being reviewed by a "Fluent" japanese speaking guy at best so maybe the score might be better when it actually releases in the states...
@above, FFX was good. FFXII however, was kinda lame. I didn't even finish it! maybe it was the crappy uninspiring character design in that one or something?! vhann was it?? Lamest FF character that I've ever seen...
I don't care. I just don't. Day one purchase for me. Seems like the reviewers problem is linearity, but that's been everyone's problem. I still say this game will be amazing.
Something about this reviewer tells me he doesn't give games good scores often enough. Oh snap, his review average is 6.7!
Any ways, one of his arguments regarding the scenery being like a "Movie set" doesn't sound like a criticism, its actually a compliment. But I guess, given enough time, you can twist and turn anything which is good into something bad...
