What appears to be the complete Japanese boxart for Final Fantasy XIII appears to has leaked onto the web with the final boxart being identical to the art shown next to a special edition console at TGS 2009.
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 FFXIII Japanese box will only have "FINAL FANTASY XIII" written on it with it's logo with a white background. This is what Square has been doing for years in terms of Final Fantasy number iterations.
Only the NA box and the Japanese International versions get actual images.
EDIT: I did just find this image..

@ Pirate Tom:
Thanks for pointing that out. +Bubbles.
Eww, that boxart looks like it fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
real original there gandolf. I guess next you are gonna say you will need to tie a porkchop around it so your dog will ply with it?
Lightning should be riding a Chocobo instead of that horse
Edit: @ AP below. Ok. But there's probably a good reason square didn't put 8 legs on Slepnir. It would look dumb.
Hmmm...
