Final Fantasy XIII- Do you think it will be a good one?

Post Reply New Topic

My favorite FF's were Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VIII, and Final Fantasy XII. All these games had a good plot, interesting characters, and had both aspects of mythical creatures, magic, and technology.

I'm not crazy at all about this new Final Fantasy. From what I've seen and read off wikipedia and other sites, it looks too technologically based. It almost looks like there is little to no fantasy aspect about it. I mean, how silly is it to have a main character named "Lightening" and to have a plot about a magical crystal telling a race of people to build a paradise up in the sky called "Cocoon" away from the ground world called "Pulse"? Even sillier is "Cocoon" having a theocracy called the "Holy Government of Cocoon".

Where do they come up with these names and plots? I think Square Enix is running out of ideas. What do you guys think?

I think it looks awesome, as does the spinoff game. The last Final Fantasy game I really enjoyed honestly was X-2, and from what I've heard XIII is by the same makers who made X-2. Plus, XIII in a lot of ways reminds me of VIII which was my favorite of the series, so I'm very excited. I prefer the futuristic style of Final Fantasy to the old style if you haven't noticed . And the trailer for the spinoff looks just plain badass.

It sure will be !

It has to be after the biiiig delay, can't wait for it

Edit: oh, forgot, hail

I will probably get it. I just got through Final Fantasy XII on my PS3 a couple days ago.

Final Fantasy peaked at VI, and though I liked FFXI ok I haven't enjoyed their single-player games since IX. Sorry, I just don't have any hope for the series anymore.

I do wish they'd remake VI and VII on better systems...

I think I read somewhere about the 360 version being over several disks, as they are using the game fully to the PS3 capabilities. I havent realy played many, I have played Kingdom hearts, seen Advant Children, I got X2, I was quite obbsesed with playing it for a length of time, but got distracted, it kind of confused me, Why would I want to get one of them to sing for combat instead of something that does damage.

I really don't know anymore, I personally feel the series has had a big decline after 2001. Since then, I haven't been big on any of the RPGs Square has released since then. I will give this game a chance but I personally feel the Final Fantasy series is not the high quality series it once was. Making all those unnecessary Final Fantasy VII spinoffs certainly didn't help. The RPG genre in general has been stale for quite a while.
