It was good 13years ago, i liked it and never understood the hate. It's not perfect and mandatory English dub was a torture, but it was still a good game.
This is what happens when you let the morons run rampant. They all start parroting how a piece of shit is actually good. Zoomers look it up and watch it on YouTube. Then they say it has “good gameplay.” Then square Enix hears about the momentum and decides nows the time for a final fantasy 13 remake.
Who the frick is out here still asking for more open world bullshit? >Task takes 20 minutes
Or >Task takes 45 minutes with the inclusion of traveling across grassy meadow.
in a smaller area you can focus attention on the areas you can see and interact with. With an open world game, you have to create the world and it would take a shitloads of time to create a fully interactive world with a lot of detail that is seen in a number of smaller areas in XIII. Perfect example of this is in the very same game - Gran Pulse. That place looks and feels like shit, but as soon as you get to a closed area the game feels better.
That being said I fricking love Lightning and tired of pretending I don't.
My fav Final Fantasy is 13-2, my favourite film is Attack of the Clones, and i like 80s synthwave. No one else i know likes these things. Not even online.
i have nothing to say about the story and characters because i'm a grown man but the gameplay was good, you just had to watch the worst movie ever made for 40 hours before you really got a chance to test out the paradigm system. and at that point you're just running around a huge empty crater fighting the same enemies over and over. 4/10 it had potential
Sazh is the only good character. He actually has a brain and doesn't assault or attempt to kill his own party members.
Except Vanille, Sazh should've shot that b***h.
Oh yeah the game is absolutely better for being segmented to fit onto 3 DVD9 discs. 27 whole gigabytes of space and that’s not even counting required redundant data. Having towns, shops that aren’t save points or some non linear paths would have fricking sucked. I’m just upset that it’s not exclusive.
Yes you are. I bet if it was exclusive you'll be lauding the cinematic-like experience of a group of heroes running away from the authorities, without the time or chance to stop at towns or whatnot. You entire argument would be: >towns don't fit in the narrative, besides they're mostly pointless areas with npcs walking around doing nothing
I've dealt with you dishonest console warriors to see this from a mile
They were not. I remember the director saying they went for the experience of a hero party constantly on the run. There was no sense in adding towns when everybody would be after them.
That was just bullshit they said to make the game feel less unfinished but the reality is different. It’s hard to source 13 year old interviews but they had plenty of towns up and running, and later reused in 13-2
my opinions on the FF series in general are complicated but my opinions on FF13 are a pretty good summation of how i feel about the series: the story kinda sucks and the characters are grating even for JRPG standards, it's also way too linear. the combat is truly excellent however. one of the best and most underrated games in the series.
Lmao, really?! I always thought it was some type of weirdo slingshot. This b***h don't even ever fish, or fricking talk about fishing. Noctis at least frickin' fished.
Black person this game is not good ever! I have tried to play this game 3 different times and it just sucks. This game is so bad that the Black person is the only even remotely likable character. Lightning is a b***h, Snow is a moron, hope is a sissy. The other characters all suck. The game play is absolutely moronic and the linearity is unbearable.
I remember this game is how the >it gets good 20 hours in
Meme started
The " good part " being a large empty field where all you do is touch stones and fight monsters the sams shit you've been doing 20 hours prior and then it's back to corridors after that.
Why are some on Ganker trying to spin this shitty trilogy as being good? Is it just regular contrarianism? Coomers? Some sort of Final Fantasy cycle? Toriyama?

Gameplay was good, plot and characters were extremely dumb and cringe
>Gameplay was good,
Fortunately, that is the only thing that matters in a video game.
*most important
The gameplay was bad too.
I like Lightning and Hope hanging out together because it lets me imagine /ss/
>dude just change the language and its fixed!!
this has never ever been the case, weebs have fried brains

Don’t let it happen.
I always liked it.
It was never good. The story and characters are an absolute catastrophe.
the real successor to final fantasy was kingdom hearts
I kinda have to agree
Still in disbelief at how good the game looks even today, parts of it looking even better than newer games.
because the game is a corridor sim, fidelity is increased when the focus is in a much smaller area
that's crazy, naturally you would not focus the bulk of game dev time on open world unstable pop in riddled trash?
open world games would take too long.
FFXV took 10 years to come out and if XVI was truly open world the game would take 15 years to come out
Who the frick is out here still asking for more open world bullshit?
>Task takes 20 minutes

>Task takes 45 minutes with the inclusion of traveling across grassy meadow.
idiots that want XVI to be more like XV

It's always been good.
>2009
and what the frick am I looking at?
>The graffix are good because it's got so much SHIT IN IT.
Didn't play the game does she get blacked?
nope
It was always good
First half of the plot drug out longer than it should, kinda like how 3 movies were made for the hobbit when 2 would have been enough
it was fricking atrocious
Always was.
I found lightnings little sister exceptionally attractive specifically her exposed ZR thighs and thus I enjoyed 13-2 the most
>ZR thighs
Whats ZR?
Zettai Ryouki
or something like that
Ohhh ok i understand, the gap betwee a skirt and stockings/ socks.
Ty anon
One of my favorite things
after playing 15, 13 is better in Retrospect
After playing 13 and both of its sequels, not it is not
It isn't, also, "mom's are tough" shit is cringe even today
Mom's are tough, and hot.
For me it's Lightning Returns.
Was no one able to make a mod to at least give her some ass?
And bigger breasts please she would be perfect then
Become a big cheese at Square and you can design your own waifu that everyone else has to put up with
a shit game getting old doesn't suddenly make it good
it was much better than XIII-1 but still not a good game
Im playing through this now, its strictly OK.
Not as good as 13-2, which is my favourite Final Fantasy game
You are the only person I've ever heard say that shit. I actually beat 13-2 unlike 13. 13-2s story is still a major convoluted bunghole though.
I've noticed no one else likes what i like.

It’s still a shit game
The characters are still awful
Only the OST and graphics are decent
Sazh is the only good character. He actually has a brain and doesn't assault or attempt to kill his own party members.
Except Vanille, Sazh should've shot that b***h.
No it fricking isn’t. It’s a linear mess of development hell and Xbox 360 compromise. Fricking shame we’ll never see the real XIII
>Fricking shame we’ll never see the real XIII
or the real Versus XIII
And here it is, the real reason for the hate. Sonygays are still salty they lost the mainline final fantasy as exclusives

I've dealt with you dishonest console warriors to see this from a mile
that's some nice projections you got there
Yeah my dude, it was gonna be on a 50 gig dual layer disc and a lot of content had to be cut. This is a simple and plain fact.
>Xbox 360 compromise
Pretty sure the 360 release was an afterthought
Yoichi Wada made a deal with Microsoft to port the game when it was ~80% done iirc and expected to ship on a dual layer blu ray disc.
I'm sure they were going to make all the towns last
That’s absolutely not how RPG game development works anon
I don't think there's a set development process at SE
They were not. I remember the director saying they went for the experience of a hero party constantly on the run. There was no sense in adding towns when everybody would be after them.

The Xbox 360 is the superior console though
>"DUDE JUST GO STRAIGHT ALL GAME"
fricking TRASH
The only good thing about this game are Lightning's thighs

I like when FF games let me use my characters and not
>Paradigm Shift!
>Paradigm Shift!
That shit is mad gay.
The great filter
What exactly are Vanille's weapons supposed to be?
Fishing rods. No, really.
Lmao, really?! I always thought it was some type of weirdo slingshot. This b***h don't even ever fish, or fricking talk about fishing. Noctis at least frickin' fished.
No it isn't, it's terrible. So terrible that the second game was designed specifically to fix the shit people hated about the first one.
Black person this game is not good ever! I have tried to play this game 3 different times and it just sucks. This game is so bad that the Black person is the only even remotely likable character. Lightning is a b***h, Snow is a moron, hope is a sissy. The other characters all suck. The game play is absolutely moronic and the linearity is unbearable.
Does anyone remember when this game was released, Ganker was memeing on lighting's hairy armpits??
Literally no final fantasy game has surpassed it graphically. If your game has pop in it is inferior
I remember this game is how the

The " good part " being a large empty field where all you do is touch stones and fight monsters the sams shit you've been doing 20 hours prior and then it's back to corridors after that.
Feel sorry for anyone who fell for this.
I liked it much better the second time I played it, because I knew what to expect
The game that killed Final Fantasy. Nobody gives a frick about this series anymore.
Better than 15 but still a boring pieces of crap.
LR is playable in the trilogy but rest aren't
LR is the only one I haven't played. I despise timers
Why are some on Ganker trying to spin this shitty trilogy as being good? Is it just regular contrarianism? Coomers? Some sort of Final Fantasy cycle? Toriyama?
I just played it one day. It was good.
The only FFs I've ever changed my mind on are I, IX and X-2.
