Final Fantasy XIII-2 Will "Exceed" Final Fantasy XIII
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
Artists attempting to force an opinion onto their audience end up being very, very disappointed. The critical side of me seems to be challenged to misinterpret FFXIII-2's well-asserted "point" so what the hey I am putting money on this. I call it Plan-9-From-Outer-Space logic.
What the hell ever happened to Versus XIII? And, really? Another direct sequel? Is Square-Enix so out of ideas for Final Fantasy titles that they're rehashing XIII?
I would probably play the shit out of this game if it featured Lighting, Fang, and Vanille on their exodus to outdress each other. Perhaps swapping Vanille for Hope, as it would achieve the same effect with much less annoyance (at the cost of unintentional lesbians).
I wholly enjoyed 12 chapters of FF13 (Pulse totally didn't happen, right?), so I hope that 13-2 can make me like every chapter.

I know that by now in this thread what I'm about to say is hardly original, but I'll add my two cents to the *massive pile*:
Please God don't let it go the way of FFX-2!

On the one hand, I want to give this an honest chance. On the other hand, I want to write it off in principle. Though I really fail to see why, from a story perspective, there needed to be a sequel. Everything was looking fine and dandy at the end. Same thing with X... and 1-9. FFVII was somewhat more understandable, but even then. I guess it'll just shit all over the positive ending like every other unnecessary sequel.
Also, Lightning is allowed to wear pants you know.

Agreed. If there isn't something that even resembles a town I will just say fuck it.Enagan said:

Prior to watching I was thinking "well hopefully they won't do what the did to Yuna"
After first shot of Lightning: "Oh hey armor. That's pretty cool"
She stands up: "sigh... dammit"
sorry for double post escapist
you know, any pinch of interest I had in this game was instantly vanished as soon as i saw all the original ff13 characters.
why did they think this was a good idea? wasn't this the least liked ff game to date?
so that announcement they recently made about their games being crappy and how they needed new direction was basically them ramping up their old strategy of quantity over quality?
"yes, the final fantasy brand is in danger and were deeply concerned for its direction. so the obvious solution is to pump out as many cheap spin-offs and over-saturate the market with the final fantasy brand as much as possible!"
these people are insane. all faith in SE, gone.

I enjoyed Final Fantasy XIII, but the ending seemed like an ending. Oh well, I still want to see how XIII-2 turns out, even though I am much more excited for Versus XIII(and believe that Tetsuya Nomura will make a much better director than Motomu Toriyama).
Actually, the lowest rated game was Final Fantasy II for the NES. For good reason too, Final Fantasy XIII may not have had a perfect battle system but at least it wasn't completely broken.gring said:
If lightning is supposed to be a strong woman, why is her underarms and thighs exposed in that outfit? it just seems silly. I wish theyd just bring out Versus. All this other stuff is secondary
final fantasy 2 wasn't even released in USA. and this happened, what, 20 years ago? lol. not exactly relevant.Defense said:
ff13 was not "completely broken" but it was broken. plot was bad and meaningless, combat was mindless, characters were god awful and dialog was embarassing, summons were pointless and just ridiculous, but hey, at least it looked good. thats all that matters to most people these days, so of course its at least within general levels of public acceptance.
the amount of actual interaction I got from this game was almost non-existent. thats pretty broken, considering that most people play games for the interaction. theres a way to tell a big story, have long cutscenes and still have an amazing gaming experience, just look at metal gear solid 4. people complained about the cutscenes, but i didn't mind them, because not only were they actually enjoyable to watch with great acting and dialog, but the game was still polished as all hell and played great.
Shouldn't be that difficult so long as they remember that they are NOT Key, they DO NOT MAKE VISUAL NOVELS, THEY MAKE GAMES.
Wow internet, I am disappointed. I expect way more than just 150 replies full of JRPG hate from you guys.
OT- FF XIII was a day one purchase for me, and I enjoyed it. It was far from the best in the franchise, but also far from the worst. It was just a mediocre FF title.
This one, however, will not be a day one purchase for me, I still can't get the taste of X-2 out of my mouth. I'll wait until it hits, gather information and then make up my mind then.
