Reviewers claimed that Final Fantasy 13 played out more like an interactive movie than an actual game. Could they have looked over one of the most intensely emotional storylines in the Final Fantasy series?
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."
One of the Flaws no one has really mentioned in this game yet that was overwhelming to me....Why the hell did Summons do practically no substantial damage and yet recovering the TP to use one took so long?
FFXIII's story barely made me care. How did it "raise the emotional drama".
Nearly every cutscene was "blah blah l'cie blah blah fal'cie blah".
"this Final Fantasy game attempts to try something different...he player is free to control the camera to look at everything around the characters."
- Yes mister author guy, this is a truly remarkable feature! /s
What emotion?
The script was too bland to warrant any real emotions.
FFX blows this out of the water.
Emotional Drama? God I hope this is another April Fools joke. The only character I cared about was Lightning. The rest were just cookie cutter cut outs.
The teenage drama from The "Hope" boy, was instead of standing up to Snow. He would talk angrily about how he hates him, but whenever Snow would get near him, he would be all quiet and all of a sudden has nothing to say. Characters like that are the worst in my honest opinion. If you like characters like that, more power to you.
