I want to punch Final Fantasy XIII-2 in the spleen

Console Domination writes: I played Final Fantasy for a good four or so hours last December, because Namco Bandai are very nice people with very poor locks on their doors, not that many doors can withstand a body mass that is roughly 120% rage and muscle. And while it would be a downright lie for me to say the graphics were bad, or the gameplay wasn't fun, my tongue would turn black, fall off and crawl into Odin's beard before I could ever say this is an actual Final Fantasy game.

I'm sorry, no matter where you stand on this game, this article is lame.

Godmars2904487d ago (Edited 4487d ago )

Unless you accept its hatred offered through amused snarkyness. Viking snarkyness at that.

I just know that 13-2 came about because they didn't have the experience or familiarity needed with HD consoles, Wada's unwillingness to support the PS3, when making XIII so even less of a required effort went into that game.

Outside_ofthe_Box4486d ago

At the end of the day 13-2 should have never been made.

Son_Lee4487d ago

I share the author's sentiments.

phantomexe4487d ago

I gave up on the series at 13 so i never droped cash for 13-2. How i miss the old ff games.

Nitrowolf24486d ago

why is Namco Bandai getting credited for FF13-2?

Spangalore4486d ago

It could be due to the fact that Namco-Bandai Partners published FFXIII-2 in Australia where the website is based. He credits Square-Enix in the article, he was just able to play it early thanks to Namco.

Nitrowolf24486d ago

Thank you for clarifying that. I forgot, but I find it odd that SE wouldn't publish it themselves considering they are always taking up publisher deals for other games not made by them (Call of duty in Japan)

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda21d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster Review – An Epic Tale Of Pixelated Portrayals

Gary Green said: We’re finding ourselves in a similar position with the Pixel Remaster edition of Final Fantasy IV as we were with Final Fantasy III since, once again, we’ve received a slightly upscaled, more vibrant port of the original game when there’s already an expanded 3D remake available. As such, we’re playing a game which, even after its long-awaited release, still lives very much in the shadow of its remake.

If only they didn't screw ps4 owners over with a physical release. I'd have ran through this in a heartbeat.

LG_Fox_Brazil31d ago

The first one I played, it was the one that made me fall in love with JRPGs and is still my favorite to this day. A masterpiece

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5247d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212147d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5247d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5247d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani47d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum48d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman48d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim47d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

I disagree Batman
