Final Fantasy XIII Producer Wants a Sequel
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
I think I couldve fixed ff13 with a few simple changes
give them the ability to go to gran pulse as early as possible (obviosly need to adjust the strenght of the mosters so your not over powered by them).
add towns or even just a single town (like oerba without the cieth and with people) to serve as a hub.
dont cap the abilities let people grind if they want to.
include a ship even if its just for looking at in some places and acts as an excuse for fast traveling to places youve allready been (on gran pulse that is) (hell theres 2 to choose from the old one that crashed and the robo owl that turns into one thats Minerva right?.
that should solve most peoples problems with the game.
over all I enjoyed the game but the first 50 (or however long it took I forget ... felt like 50)or so hours just went on and on and was basically a tutorial wouldve been nice to take a break and head to pulse look around the town maybe do a few missions level up abit.

Lightening needs a happy ending? LIGHTENING?! No, Fang and Vanille need a happy ending. That was a major let down, what happened to them. And no one even cares!
They can totally make a sequal to this game. Picks up about a year after the first one, and we get to see how everyone is doing after the whole thing with Cocoon. The ending to XIII was the biggest disappointment for me.

While I enjoyed the game, a sequel is entirely unnecessary. Last I checked the ending was, although somewhat bittersweet, happy overall. Especially for Lightning, which is the one person mentioned in the article.
Hopefully there's less linearity. While the battle system really held its own for me through the first nine chapters (Chapter 10 SUCKED ASS), it shouldn't have to stand on its own. There was the story too, but something about it felt a little less "epic" than it should have, especially towards the end. Like Kefka, Safer Sephiroth and Zeromus felt like EPIC bosses. Orphan? Not so much.

I still have yet to finish this game, so I'm just going to post and leave before something gets spoiled for me.
Ahem... wasn't there already two Final Fantasy sequels other than X-2? Unless Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years don't count as canon sequels.

So does that mean in FFXIII-2, all the female characters will become pop stars and dress like complete whores for no real reason?
Oh god XIII was a terrible abortion on the world why the fuck would you plague us with a sequel featuring the same characters?
Versus and Agito are both set in such distant time periods/worlds that the only connection they have to XIII is a few names, and they are both BETTER for it. Versus is a Megaten style reality-meets-fantasy world with an influence of shakespeare and action gameplay in a wide open world.
AKA the Antithesis of XIII or if you want to get snappy? Versus XIII
Meanwhile Agito combines the quick paced ATB-Kai system, makes it even faster and allows you to move your characters around like in FFXII. Making in the end probably the best ATB game your ever going to get without moving into full 1-to-1 gameplay. Features sa very large degree of customization and some intresting plot.
So Kitase, with all due respect? Fuck no.

Hm. I haven't finished 13 yet, but I thought they were rather successful with the characters at least. Most of them inspired deep, raging emotion in me, the likes of which few games can. The only thing that spoils this is that I am still not sure if this was intended on their part. I mean, signs point towards players hating their fighters on purpose: from making you play as them when you really (seriously, really) don't want to, to building them with such weak characteristics that they feel almost like minor antagonists.
Somewhere in there you're relating to your enemies in a very real way. I understand completely why they keep wanting to destroy the playable characters, and most of the time agree with their motivations, completely. It was a revolutionary experience for me, since I had to keep the player characters alive, but wanted to let my supposed enemies win. Is this some small trace of what a suicide bomber feels like? We must destroy everything to win?
Well, ruminations aside, I cannot agree with a continuation of this experiment. You know what, you win Square Enix. I gave up before getting to Gran Pulse, and feel very guilty for not continuing far enough to get there. Your play-as-the-enemies-of-the-people-who-are-actually-saving-the-people-even-if-we're-designing-them-so-you're-inclined-to-aggressively-want-to-kill-them-off-in-the-best-interests-of-their-world-so-no-one-else-has-to-deal-with-them tricky head f*ck did actually work in my case. You don't need to make a sequel. You already won.
Besides, Lightning is just gloatingly happy that she gets to live since she's a title character. She sneers at me from the box. What else could you want? 3-d implementation so she can appear to strangle me, the player, in some ridiculous reversal?

NO, TELL HIM TO SCREW OFF!!! my friend was so in to finaly fantasy games, everytime i told him they were lame, he said they're weren't. he'd been gradually getting to the point where he was going to agree with me, and then he bought FF13. he then completely agreed with me.
"just play through the first 20 hours of gameplay and it will get interesting!!!" the internet says
"FUCK THAT!" i say to the internet. if a game takes that long to get good, i'd rather not waste my time. i can spend 20 hours getting 10th prestige in MW2. now what would i rather do, tell all my friends that i played 30 hours of an already bad game they don't care about or that i 10th prestiged before they did and earn more respect from my peers for being good at something they find interesting?

I, along with all the other real RPG fans, would love to see a Final Fantasy XIII - 2. FF XIII is one of the best games of this entire generation and was a saving grace for RPG players everywhere after having to put up with last - gen crap like Borderlands and Mass Effect 2 for months.
Final Fantasy XIII is amazing, the story reels you in and doesn't let go and the graphics and gameplay are simply superb.
