Trece the Xam ( ▀ ͜͞ʖ▀) 3,859 Posted October 18, 2015 The Lightning Saga (if it were one title) has quickly become my favourite FF game and one of my all time favourite games (the other ones are Xenoblade, KH2 and FFX), and this is me speaking, someone who has played most FF titles, and I never thought it ruined the FF games at all while I played it, unlike many other fans have said. It's good to see that finaly someone admits FFXIII was a good game on an online critic. 1 Sora96 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No surprise you like X as well. Same team. 1 Trece the Xam ( ▀ ͜͞ʖ▀) reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nero Kunivas 3,046 Posted October 18, 2015 I am ashamed to admit that I was on that bandwagon once...never even gave FFXIII a chance. I own both XIII and XIII-2 and have mulled over the possibility of purchasing Lightning Returns, yet I have not played any of those games...I suppose a more rational side of me got me to buy the games, but my idiocy stemming from bandwagon hopping stopped my playing of them. This guy is very right...oh, he is so very, very right. FF has always been about experimentation and different and interesting ideas, sometimes they legitimately fail, like the original FFXIV, but they resolved that (By setting Bahamut upon that version and blowing it all up) and made the A Realm Reborn a damn good looking MMO that I really should buy and play. But then you get the ideas that range from pretty good to bloody legendary. The FFXIII Sub-Series fits in that area, gets about a "Looks great" on the scale to me, now that I can see what it really is. I say "Looks great" for I haven't played it. Yet. When I get the chance, I will play those games and judge them for myself properly. Whatever I say about it...at least I would have given the game a true chance. 2 Trece the Xam ( ▀ ͜͞ʖ▀) and Sora96 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 5,715 Posted October 18, 2015 XIII was an all right movie (though not one I would watch). It just wasn't an all right game. 1 Dio Brando reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eternalsleep 175 Posted October 18, 2015 I actually really liked the first one, especially gameplay wise. But i never got around to playing the other 2 so i cant really vouch if the trilogy as a whole was good or not 1 Sora96 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingdomHearts3 2,591 Posted October 18, 2015 I thought FFXIII and its sequels did not look that bad. I had no clue why people trashed it left and right. 1 Sora96 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ven983 490 Posted October 18, 2015 People are just still riding their initial hate for the game because it wasn't what they wanted or expected. If people were to go back and really play it for what it is there would be a whole lot more love for it. 1 Sora96 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Setrex 1,031 Posted October 18, 2015 There won't be a time in my life where I'll admit that XIII wasn't that bad. People are just still riding their initial hate for the game because it wasn't what they wanted or expected. If people were to go back and really play it for what it is there would be a whole lot more love for it. I genuinely tried to go back to the game after XIII-2 came out and I just gave up. XIII and XIII-2 have literally been gathering dust on my shelf for years now. The game has a number of flaws ranging from god-awful characters, boring gameplay and an atrocious narrative. Admittedly, I found XIII-2 to be the better game, but even that game still suffered from certain issues. Oddly enough I enjoyed the first few hours of XIII until it dragged me further down the corridor of nothingness. I had no expectations going in nor did I know what to expect, that didn't stop it from being a bad game in my eyes. 1 Dio Brando reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arya Stark 1,337 Posted October 18, 2015 It's not absolutely terrible. I can agree with that much. It does still have tedious battles though, and battles are the meat of the game so I won't say that it is more than mediocre. But I do agree with his points.

Isaix 924 Posted October 19, 2015 To me FFXIII didn't suck because it was different,its not even because of the characters or the story(though that didn't help),FFVIII had a weird story as well,but I still like the game,FFV story was disapointing,but the game was still fun,FFI barely has a story and I like that game too,its because as a whole the game is boring to play though,I couldn't get immerse into the game because I didn't care about the story,there were so many things that wasn't explain that I couldn't get into it,there's no exploration,no town to explore,the battle system is spam X to win,so why am I even playing if I am not having fun?I never beat FFXIII,but to me a boring game is a lot worst then a broken game,Sonic Adventure is full of glitches,but its still fun to play.A game can be bad even if its not broken. 1 Setrex reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
