Final Fantasy XIII

<< < (8/13) > >>

Scandanavian War Machine:
IX is pretty much the best. Definitely holds a spot on my coveted "Top 5 Games of All Time" list.

VIII is an abortion that didn't quite take. It somehow managed to survive and has eeked out an existence by convincing people that it's flaws are somehow endearing and that's it's utter failure at existing is somehow admirable.

XIII is just as bad as VIII, except it's prettier by an order of magnitude that is uncalculable to humans, so it has that going for it, I guess.


I got 30 hours into XIII, right when it gets "good" and I realized "oh, so you're just now going to make the game good finally? Fuck you." and I traded it in and burned the Strategy Guide that I stupidly bought with it. I haven't been so disappointed since Spore.

Emaline:
So....did anybody play Neir? http://www.niergame.com/

Also made buy Square Enix, somewhat similar(in my only ever finishing one Final Fantasy game, on the ps1, and only playing a few others though never finishing opinion) Final Fantasy, better story, fucked up endings, and uh...actually enjoyable.

DavidGrohl:
I love(d) IX more than words can express (except for the final boss . . but w/e -- he wasn't that important to the storyline).

I hated XIII.  I forced myself to play through it because I paid for it.

The thing I disliked most about it was the lack of cities.  I didn't get the impression that the world was 'real' or 'believable' in its own respect.

What's left at that point, is hoping the characters and story provide some supreme entertainment and fascination.  They didn't.

Cire27:
I don't know guys, I liked all the ps1-era games.  Maybe I am just nostalgic.

beat mouse:
I have lived most of my life being ostracized for the fact that I preferred 8 over 7. If I was backed into a corner and had to pick my favourites I would still hold 6 and Tactics over the rest of the series, however I do not think highly of 7 at all. After working on a popular Final Fantasy website (FFGurus) for several years as a young teenager before it shut down, I have had more arguments over this than I care to count, or get into again, but it surely soured my taste of the game.

I haven't touched 13 since the few days I spent after I bought it, I suppose I will go back to it eventually but it has definitely not kept my attention, similarly to my several attempts to make it over halfway through 12. I will blame other genres of games for my lack of JRPG affection, since I no longer have it in me to stay focused on dicking around in towns and shops when I could be shooting things in the head or constructing additional pylons.
