it was alright. but compared to pervious game ff13 has nothing to them. FF13 didn't have an epic story like the other games. I think ff13 is better than ff15, due to content and world building.

As for my feelings on it, I'll just copypasta my response on said video.
Y'know, for a good long while there was something drawing me to check out FFXIII. So I finally got it (this was about a year ago). That all said, I'm not surprised at all at the FFXIII hate. Generally speaking, people tend to just flow with whatever's colloquially accepted with a conquer by numbers strategy... so if a hundred thousand people call it "Final Hallway XIII," it's less risky to chuckle along with them instead of putting forth the effort of individual thought and seeing if it's a blind following the blind situation. --- After a decade, Nintendo has won me back!

Overall the story was quite epic, if you played all 3 games. Certainly a much better story than 12 (which I also think is an excellent game btw). 12 got double the number of votes than 13. Sorry but Final Fantasy 13 games are really underated, I don't understand much why... a big reason I really believe is lack of hype/marketing when it came out I really do Final Fantasy 15 got BIG marketing budget, I was even seeing posters for the game in public transport stations surprise, surprise 15 was well received, and fans said it was "really good" psychology is a big thing, in every aspect of life --- Even angels cast shadows ...

Superlinkbro posted...They are some of the worst. So basically "Just wait 20 hours and the game gets better!" I am all for giving a game a fair chance, but 20 hours is WAYYY too long to be sitting and doing something you hate. I mean if someone said "I played for 5 minutes and the game sucks, I am never playing it again!" then yea I can agree they didn't give it a chance. But if I have to wait more then an hour, then the game just isn't engaging enough. X was linear, but at least the battle system was fun and involved a ton of strategy. XIII's battle system was basically "Press X over and over again until you win". Similar to the battle system in XII. XII had an essentially auto battle system, but the game was very open ended and allowed you do a lot of side quests in the middle of the main story. XIII didn't have that and only threw side quests in at the end of the game. Similar to X. In other words, XIII took all of the faults of X and XII and combined them into one game. --- I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports. ...

X battle system was fun??? xD Yes, because you needed to plan out battles. Each character had a strength and weakness and depending on who you were facing you had to decide which one to use and when to use them. Granted you eventually got to the point where ever monster was essentially the same, but by then you had done a good 100 hours of grinding. XIII was basically auto-battle. It had a paradine system but you never needed to use it. --- I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's honestly what I'd expect on the whole. The poll being dominated by VI and VII (since they were the 'best' SNES/PS1 titles respectively) With IX and X pulling up a 3/4 spot (Underrated classic and first JRPG for the PS2 era) with the rest having varied results with the MMO's (due to a multitude of reasons) bringing up the rear beating only II and III which were weak entries in the series.
Really I'm mostly surprised at how well both V (since it wasn't released state-side until the GBA era) and VIII (very often badmouthed) are doing. --- I am the gentle hand who heals, the happy smile who shields, and the foot that will kick your ***! - White Mage ... Copied to Clipboard!

Not being to switch characters mid battle really ruins XIII's gameplay that would have made it even more complicated honestly to me there was nothing wrong with the battle system (as I said before Lightning Returns battle was quite superb, as was FF13-2 with the pokemon style battle system) FF13 and 12 battle systems were best to me (still haven't played 15) can't believe anyone would still say the older fashioned battle systems from before were better lol it's like a joke --- Even angels cast shadows ...

FinalFantasyIV posted...Not being to switch characters mid battle really ruins XIII's gameplay Some people like complexity in their battles. If you followed RPGs from the beginning it is kind of odd for a game to add complexity in the battle system every iteration, then all of a sudden streamline it to the point where it feels almost second nature. I can see people getting overwhelmed with a complex system, but a lot of us like complexity. --- I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports. ...

80 hours later, I can say with utmost certainty that almost every criticism about this game can be solved with "You didn't play FFXIII" or "You aren't far enough to know what you're talking about." I played through the entire game up until the 'end game' content. It was dogshit. It was such a chore to play that I hated every minute of it, but I was playing it out of spite. Let me sum up my experience with the game - Hold the up button, mash the A button. That was about it. I can only think of a couple of instances near the end where I didn't just mash the auto attack button and instead actually chose spells. The characters were lame as hell, I can't recall a single time having purchased anything at a store (though you didn't actually earn money anyway so I guess it doesn't matter), the summon system was dumb, the game set arbitrary grinding stops, the story was fucking weird and I still don't understand what was going on, there was some real garbage vocal soundtracks, etc. If it weren't such a boring, monotonous way to play a game it might be forgiven. But good lord, they might as well have made it a QTE game. --- "We're not even close" - Romans building Rome at the end of Day 1 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I did not care for the battle system at all. Boring characters. Didn't like the plot either.

I beat 13, 13-2, and Lightning Returns, sinking well over a hundred hours into this series. I can say with absolute certainty and no hesitation that this trilogy SUCKS SHIT THROUGH A STRAW. It is nightmarishly horrendous on nearly every conceivable level, from character and world design to the combat systems themselves, every single facet is a complete and utter failure of game design.
Why play every game if I hated them? I once had a goal of playing every numbered Final Fantasy, until 15 put the final nail in that coffin. Wrote reviews on both Lightning Returns and FFXV here on this site, so I won't bother explaining my feelings in full detail. The series, frankly, isn't worth my breath anymore. ...

FFXIII is much worse than FFVIII, which I used to consider to be the worst of the 3D FF games. Yeah, VIII and XIII are the two worst FF's by FAR. I don't know which is worse, all I know is that once I finished both I knew I'd never play them again (unlike most of the other FF's that I've played and beaten multiple times). Only redeeming thing about VIII was the card game and an okay story. XIII had decent music and the battle system was kind of fun. Everything else about these two games pales in comparison to the standard set by the other FF's. --- A pro isn't someone who sacrifices themselves for a job. That's just a fool. - Reno ...
