Tri-Ace first
FF12 was the pinnacle of FF series. It was on BG level of awesome. As I did not play FF13 yet SquareEnix still rules :rock :rock
whaaaaaaa nobody could possibly want world maps after 9 games with world mapsfuck you.
whaaaaaaaaaa we love using the same visual style ever since FFX over and over againfuck you. VIII and IX were the pinnacle of visual sex for the FF series
FF XIII is enjoyable as fuck.
again,
this thread sucks
again,
this thread sucks
It also sucked last month when we had it
And it sucks when GAF has it once a week.
Yes, FF10, 11, 12, 13, and now 14 all have the same visual style.
What?
???
Final Fantasy 13 is fucking awesome. It's everything I liked about X's battle and leveling systems (fast-paced, job-specific roles, sphere grid) mixed in with what I wanted fixed with XII's system (management of your team, smart AI, non-confusing class breakdown).
It's no more linear than X was, I think, and at least with XIII the story is actually pretty engaging (relatively speaking, of course). Now if only we can get some decent character design. Only ones I'm fond of in this game is Lightning and Fang. Music is great, too.
tl;dr--SantaC is still dumb and makes stupid comments to get attention.

they all resemble each other a fucking goddamn lot. End of discussion.

When did you get so damn arrogant and cocky, Santa? You were so nice on gaf. What happened? :lol
Not really. XII had a great distinct style. Too bad the game blew

Get off of S-E's nuts and acting like they don't deserve any of this especially after the extremely stupid comments from them in the past few months.
Anyways, DQ rocks.

SE has released several GREAT games in the last few years [TLR, BBS, TWEWY, DQIV DS, DQV DS], some love/hate games [FFXIII, FFVII: CC, FFXII RW, FFIII DS, FFIV DS, DQIX, DQVI DS], and barely any "bad" games [???].

Replay FF10. Also, it's not only the linearity that hurts FF13, it's the lack of variety. In FF10, you had towns, you had mini-dungeons with puzzles. It wasn't just battle, cutscene, battle cutscene.
Linearity is fine so long as you make the game varied enough to make this set up interesting from beginning to end.
But other people have different opinions. Why be hostile because they have different opinions than you?
I think most rpgs has "datalogs" or just logs that summarize what you have been doing and stuff. It's nice but hardly anything special.
When you fight an enemy that isn't fucking around FF13 really shines brighter than a dude pissing on Christmas lights.
People are acting like FFXIII is the only SE game in the last five years and stands for everything the company believes in with game design.
I agree.

Not Final Fantasy

Because saying an entire company sucks and should go out of business because you don't like 1 game of theirs is stupid.
People are acting like FFXIII is the only SE game in the last five years and stands for everything the company believes in with game design. Despite that it's just a single game and almost every game they release has different game design.
can't wait for FFXIII-2.isn't that basically the FFXIII versus game?
But seriously, is anyone really enjoying FFXIII's OST? Could it be the worst in the series?Let's not get crazy now. XIII's soundtrack is one of the series best, IMO, especially post VIII. Even those who aren't fans of the game have commented on the great soundtrack.
Versus is a prequel to 13 and looks to have 9999 x the amount of potential. I think it'll be a much much better game than FF13.
:bow Nomura :bow2

shooting for the heights :P
FFIV will probably be a great MMORPG game, sadly I dont care about those.
FF13's soundtrack is good, but I don't find it to be the bee's knees like everyone else seems to.I've always like it when RPGs changed their battle themes mid game or after some checkpoint.
For instance, I can't stand the main battle theme anymore. Not only do we hear it 9999 x during the course of the million battles we have to plow through, but some locations even make the theme the general song for the current area you're in. I'm on chapter 10 and the battle theme is way way way overplayed and I'm sick of it already.

I prefer the SMT/Earthbound route. Give the game multiple battle themes. In SMT3 you have different battle themes depending on location. There's a world map battle theme, there's a town battle theme, there's a dungeon battle theme and more. You have hundreds of tracks and only one regular battle theme? Really?
I don't see how XIII's music variation (or, lack of said variation) differs from the rest of the series except for XII. You have a main battle theme, a boss battle theme, and then probably an über boss battle theme.
I quite like the regular battle theme for XIII.
So it's doing it's job!

beezy wins the thread
FF XIII is enjoyable as fuck. Why the hell do you care so much about graphics? It's pretty entertaining to me and a lot of others.
But for my personal taste? They should bring back the win the song. That's classic. Bring back world maps. So much fun. And don't factor in an Auto Battle next time. Please
Other than that, they're not bad.

You're right. But it's 2010
Yeah
XII - awful
XIII - awesome
Yes,FF13 sucks...garbage :yuck
SE should focus on remakes,at least that has a chance to be good.

How does FF13 have better pacing than FF12? Its gameplay pacing is atrocious. Fight, cutscene, fight, cutscene gets old by hour 20. FF12 let you explore areas you didn't have to venture into yet via the story, hunts, and more.

I don't get what this picture has to do with anything. Not surprising that the trade-in value of 13 is so low, it sold insanely well, people beat it, then they sold it. Same thing happens with other games, I remember seeing copies of FF12 for like 1000yen a few months after release as well. Hell, Star Ocean 4 360 also had a similar fate to this.
I'm not all that far into the game, but I didn't notice any of the compression artifacts people talked about... What gives?
