We have received direct reports that both PS3 and 360 versions of Final Fantasy XIII are sporadically freezing mid-game, or erroring on startup. A slew of forum threads describe same problem, but no clear cause or work-around has emerged. We have e-mailed Square Enix regarding the issue, but are still awaiting a reply, and according to most reports, Microsoft and Sony are blaming scratched discs.
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."
Exept blu rays are scratch proof so the ps3 version doesnt freeze but the 576p freezebox360 does.
Jump in and freeze
I have yet to see a ps3 game not work due to disk scratches (blu rays being virtually scratch proof)
1. Bad batch of discs, which does happen I guess.
2. Launch consoles for both Sony and 360.
Alright, if you have the older models, then it's time to buy the latest models like the Jasper or the Slim. I know it sounds scary and unfair, but it's just the way it is. The earlier models tend to break easily and they get worse through usage like any cheap electronic. Both microsoft and sony want you to get rid of your RROD and 60gb consoles cause they know what the hell is going on, and they want you to buy AGAIN. Especially the people with the 60gb consoles cause I can guarantee you that they will break down. I took good care of the 60gb and it still went down like a hot cake. I now own both ps2 and ps3 slim and we are doing very well.
I've completed both the Japanese and English versions of FFXIII on PS3 and haven't had it freeze once.
Haven't had any freezing yet (Chapter 6).
