@Gilgabotnik It's called people dont know what game experimenting is called so they hate it's not like 7 or 8 etc so people r stuck in 90's and don't know how to get into a modern world but hey that's my theory
@RCfan234 You sir are completely right. Oh well let the haters think what they want. They'll miss out a great classic game like this. Final Fantasy 13 is by FAR one of the best FF's IMO. :)
@RCfan234 fight the long gui in Archlyte Steppe that its theme but u will prob die in 1 hit lololololol cuz im lv 80 in 3 Paragrims and its still not enough
@xboxboy312 That's great, but you should really try the other games if you have the opportunity, they have FF 5-9 on the PSN store if you have a ps3 and you can also get FFX and FFXII for the ps2, they are all great. FF XII is the best in my opinion and has the best replay value (i'm over 1000 hours in lol).
@xboxboy312 Yeah I completely forgot about kingdom hearts, but that game is a whole different story (it's also defenitly worth checking out, but make sure you try the first one before the 2nd).
@Gilgabotnik it is! FF13 and 13-2 are the WORST FF games ever, the whole auto battle system is pathetic and I don't like how you have to rush a battle to get 5 stars I HATE THAT BADLY and the OST is the worst, this is the best song, amazing song infat but it can't save the shit OST nor could 13-2s OST
@EpicPremonitionUK You may think that, but many people, including myself love the FF13 universe. If you have nothing positive to say, why are you here?
It upset me how in the last two boss fights of the game (you know what I mean), this wasn't present. I understand that it was to fit in with the atmosphere. But it would have felt so epic! It's like going up against a huge boss, only to narrowly win.
SIGNN..IT JUST SHOWS THAT YALL COULDNT BE FF FANS .. I MEAN ITS ALL ABOUT CHANGE.. I MEAN REALLY YALL THAT USED TO FF7 STYLE..HIT THEM WAIT..THEN I HIT...NOOOO COMON YALL IM GLAD THEY CHANGE IT. ITS A CHALLEGE FOR ME AND I CAN SAY I DONT GIVE A CARE IF PPL DONT LIKE IT..SO YESS ENIX BRING ME MORRRRE! AS WE SPEAK IM GETTING MY COPY OF 13-2 FIRST THING IN THE MORNING...HAHAHAHA
@guiltyhalo2 Agreed, I love how most FF's battle music has a goosebumps moment in it ; ) Not quite as good as that moment in FF12's, but still so good :)
I had I dream awhile back when I was walking down the street and monsters started appearing out of no where and this battle theme pops up and am like holy... shit... about time so I pull out swords and started fighting man I love those dreams
I don't know if they do, don't think so, but I would love this theme to reprise for some kind of battle theme in XIII-2. Don't think that'd happen though unfortunately, but at least they'll blow us away with more awesome boss music like this one =]
FF haters? Seems to me like old FF fanboys don't like change. Every FF game before this was the same, epic journey, random battles, towns etc.we all loved it but What is so bad about experimenting with NEW ideas??, get with the times, and hey, if YOU all think it's so bad then why is there a FFXIII-2? because the real FF fans liked XIII
@GreySparkGaming No, change is good, but if you do compare to older ff games such as ff7, 13 is a bag of shit. There's no comparison, gameplay and storyline wise. Such a linear game, and a bland story, i didn't care for any of the characters at all. It was a decent game in general, but final fantasy has so much potential. They need to stick to the old formula, make a great and gripping storyline, stick with the old battle system, and there's potential for a groundbreaking game.
@hunterman823 It's just a matter of opinion, I personally think the battle system in FFXII was the best one they ever had. It let you strategize like no FF game before it (or after for that mattter) and it lets you do things you want with magicka you couldn't before.
@archertrio Go on gamefaqs and do that challenge for FFX where you stay at level 1 forever, no running away, no summon, no shop, no no-encounters(must fight every battle) and a bunch of other restrictions then we'll talk about strategy.
Compared to the boss theme of FF8, FF9, FF10, FF10-2, FF12 this boss theme is not that good o.O its ok but is not as good as the others boss themes u.u
This game is amazing. 75% of the people who complained they didn't like it, most likely didn't beat the game. and all those whom have beaten the game.. will say at the end. They LOVED it.
this is a ridiculously fun game! idk wtf critics were talkin about but this is a great game and dude it is not just about pushing "X" (A for me on Xbox) its mandatory that you switch paradigm shifts during the game so you dont die! and i cant wait till FF XIII-2 comes out! the new main character looks like a mixture of Sora for Kingdom Hearts and FF XIII Versus! and my favorite parts in this song is 0:37 to 1:15
Im not gonna complain about 13 simply bcuse it was an attempt at a good game. Its an ok RPG but a horrible Final fantasy. Im just getting worried bcuse there hasnt been a good final fantasy since 10. Type-0 and versus looks like they will be great but if FF15 is a fail 2, square is gonna lose alot of support.
@FinalFantasyIXMaster FFXII had the best backround and ambiance music (as well as esper and boss themes) out of all the FFs in my opinion. The music just fits so well with each setting.
I love the piano in this song, it sounds like nothing that I've ever heard before. And it's really fun to kick ass while fighting bosses to this song!!
Lol @ everyone complaining at the battle system. What is worse, a company experimenting with a product and trying to evolve it as it goes, or just shuffling out carbon copies of the last product all over the place? The battle system wasn't even that bad. It breaks away from the monotonous system. And to the guy complaining about "just mashing X". Don't tell me you didn't do that in random battles before.
@MackDaddyOnTheTrack I'm glad someone is on the same wave length as me! I feel sorry for game developers these days. If they change something, everyone complains, but if they release something too similar, everyone complains anyway. There's just no winning with these people.
The battle system was NOT the bad part. You always just mashed X to attack for all the normal encounters. The only real problem with XIII was how Linear it was until arriving on Pulse. Personally, the reason I'm a fan of Final Fantasy is because it changes so much every game. In fact, I was quite amazed by the battle system for a few reasons.
I can agree with that. I was anxious to get on my own and start completing some side quests and exploring on my own. However, I still do not think it took away from the story line, and the side quests are not exactly easy to finish, so that helped.
And I liked the battle system as well. It is designed to be strategic. If you use it correctly, you shouldn't mash X over and over again to attack.
@MackDaddyOnTheTrack Yeah, on bosses I never spammed X and in normal battles I change paradigms a lot to get the fastest kills I can. I liked the storyline, music, characters and battle system. It was just how linear it was that I didn't like. The sidequests were a nice challenge with a bit of backlore, but nothing more than monster hunting.
@MackDaddyOnTheTrack Why fix something that is broken? Sure change is nice but the game overall was terribad. Also, in this game you're always mashing X or playing on the slow settings. In the other games you ONLY mash X for easy random battles; when fighting bosses or tougher enemies though, you needed to actually use proper skill.
Clearly you used very little "proper skill" in this game. The system is designed to incorporate strategy. It is also designed to not allow a player to over level, due to Crysterium Levels. Literally last week, I beat Sephiroth from FF7, using Knights of the Round one time. LOL PR0PERR SKILLZZ. Once you get to the harder points of the game Paradigm strategy is crucial. As for changing, if they do not come up with new ideas, everyone will say they just remake games.
@MackDaddyOnTheTrack This guy speaks the truth. :) The first battles in this game took far more efford then the first battles in like FF 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 (the ones I actually played). Don't get me wrong I love these games but in the start and the end you'll end up using 1 button to just input "attack". I remmember I did almost every battle in FFVI this way. Everyone with those gloves and scrolls would hit like 8 times 9999. That's alot better then spamming a lame ultima. ATTACK FTW <3
People should learn to accept new battle systems as the company tries to grow. Linear levels in a game which was once known for exploring an entire planet however? Feels like regression.
I dunno what these people are complaining about. But I find myself performing paradigm shifts every so often which can make or break difficult battles. Also, the auto-battle doesn't always come up with the best moves. I find myself queuing things like Blitz-Ruinga cause auto-battle would sometimes queue Attack 5 times in a row even if the enemies are bunched together.
I don't know where they get their "mash button X to win", unless it's an easy fight to begin with.
@MackDaddyOnTheTrack I disliked the game bc of the following, u couldnt do shit besides main story. reason i like most ff games is for side tracking, either looking for new summons or boss or weapon or mini games. AND IM NOT TALKING ABOUT CLICKING A MISSION ON FIND THIS MONSTER AND KILL IT(STUPID LAZY IDEA). The game gameplay is soo strict and unfun, only summon like once every few battles. Cant control other players and Ai isnt always reliable. Im sry play this game for fun factor which it lack
FF13-2 will have that. FF13 doesn't because the main characters are all fugitives. You didn't really expect Osama Bin Laden's men to go window shopping or sightseeing before hijacking a plane for 9/11, did you? It's supposed to be a one-way trip to hell. Make or break. Do or die. No sidetracking crap.
That's the way they made FF13, and if people still couldn't figure out why it's linear in the first place. It's not a technical limitation or anything. It's how they designed it.
@MackDaddyOnTheTrack only thing that attract me is graphics and a few theme songs.
everything is else needs work. which i hope ff13-2 fixes but it seems its only 2 characters and able to control monsters instead of actual characters. Sounds like Tales of Symphonia 2 for Wii. and that tales game was horrible compared to others.
@MackDaddyOnTheTrack Not to mention the fact that it's honestly not that simple. You still have to strategize somewhat. Otherwise you'd NEVER get a game-over, and I got quite a few of those.
13 really was a fun and interesting game. And one of the most deep storylines, post-9.
I agree. I felt the storyline was incredibly deep. I loved how the characters were so lost on their way. Normally in FF at some point they figure out what they must do and they do just that. In 13 they kind of just kept fighting and moving forward and it all worked out in the end.
@MackDaddyOnTheTrack This. Even the ending in which they confronted Orphan was showing that they weren't 100% sure about what to do and what the consequences would be.
(If not for Fang and Vanille, Cocoon would've been utterly destroyed, together with all of its citizens)
@MackDaddyOnTheTrack People who complain about mashing X dont realize that they are complaining about an optional thing to do, the game doesnt force you to press the auto-battle button, you could just go to your abilities list and select them from there
Lol, what can ya do man? People will complain about anything these days. Now we have people complaining about 15-30 second ads on Youtube. As if providing us with free videos for the past 6 or 7 years isn't enough for them.
I like FF13 as a package but if I had to nitpick it I would definitely say the story was the weakest point. The characters had potential, they all look excellent and its a decent cast but I just felt so unattached tot them. FF6-FF10 I loved all the people and it was an emotional story etc that pulled you in. In FF13 there is nothing to make you care about them, to make you attached or feel sad or want to see what happens. The story was just so bland and boring, which imo made the game hurt bad.
@kratos7777 its not a matter of attach. each person has a way of liking a game. personally i can say from final fantasy 6,7,8,9,10,12,13. I like all of the main charcter( main protagonist to be specific). ^^
I STILL WISH FOR A LIGHTNING X CLOUD T.T i know impossible though hahaha
Everyone say's FF13 is the worst. I say it's the best because: excellent graphics, an absoloutely perfect charakterdesign, bur the important thing is that FF13 is so super inovatic the fightsystem and level-up method is excellent... what you all want the same game 1000 times with other names of charakters ??? games evolve and that's good ;)
ff13 is bad because the combat system is nonsense. Why have spatial attacks when you can't control where the characters move? Why have an ATB bar when you could have just had it on auto and save me the trouble of mashing X over and over.
Atlus knows how to make an rpg, this may not be square enix's worst game, but it's defininitely among them. And it is the biggest letdown. Even comparing ff12's realtime battle system makes it look archaic.
@IdeonFukkatsu Opinions are opinions. FF12's problem wasn't the gameplay. It was the boring story. I liked the battle system. It was really fun and more like a "Tales of" game. Also, i loved this game.
When I first listened to this with first impressions I didn't like it as much as older ff boss music, but when I came back to the game and listened to it a bit more I was impressed by how the expressions and change in dynamics are composed so cleverly
leperot, Thank You. FINALLY someone gets that its a great game in its own right. Many reviews of it say that its horrible and quote: "Noob Friendly" but this was my first FF console game but I like JRPGs. People are just upset that its not like previous FF games ahem* FF7*.
@ProtosMerkabah he's my favourite VG composer and I felt like watching this seeing as I haven't played FF13. I was disappointed because his boss themes used to be the absolute bees knees now this and the FFX11 and also the FFX style are just to me so upsettingly sub-par for him. Guess I felt like venting?
well i agree the newer ones like 13 is lacking in the outside the main story line on fun quests or something to do and have a the chance to play a game of some kinda like the famous blitz ball but a variant at least would be nice just to add extra stuff to do when the story is done. this song get me wired in the beginning of the boss battle. this is one epic mfking song for a boss fight . lets you know right off this isn't one of the normal enemies you better watch you actions or pay for it.
C'est vraiment la meilleur musique de final fantasy , les autres pourront penser ce qu'ils veulent . Mais cette video a fait ressurgir des sentiments en moi . Vive les FF
Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which is electronic music inspired by great games such as the Final Fantasy series. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
only thing that bugs me is that the music is so low in this game compared to the sfx. They need to turn up the music way louder I could barely hear it and the game sounds dead...
Please excuse me, oldbies, if this comment insults you, but this game, Final Fantasy XIII, is one of the greatest games I've ever played. I'm in the process of playing VII for the first time now, and I'm sure I'll love it more by the time I switch discs, but just plainly, I love pretty much all the FF games...except XII. That one sucks.
FFXIII is the first major FF game I've ever played, and I have to say, this game is pure awesome. The story itself was great, not to mention the graphics as well, oh and the music, oh and all of the characters, especially Vanille ;^)
@JacobusSmoak Noez, man. I've known what chocobos are for ages. Just because this has been the first Final Fantasy I've chosen to play doesn't I'm oblivious to all the previous ones and the content in them, especially 7 and 8. What's your beef with the new fans, anyway? Afraid they'll eventually explore all the previous games and share a common interest with the oldbies?
I don't get why ppl say this game's music isn't as memorable...its not a 30 second chip tune loop like some of the old games were composed from. It's probably the best ff ost to date imo. It's consistant, epic, well produced, and there are hi horrible out of place gay chirpy bits either.
@theelostriots9999 You may not get it but the reason this music is not as memorable as the older game music exactly because of what you said. The focus of this music is to be consistant and epic not to be memorable. memorable music needs to be simpler, something that stays with and you can whistle easily. for example the ocarina tunes from zelda are extremely memorable and i often find myself whistling the song of storms or the lost woods song when bored.
@NombreUsuario4 Frankly, I have to partially disagree with you. Like you, I usually find the music from the older games (not just FF, just games from the 80's and 90's in general) MUCH more memorable than about 95% of modern game music, but you know what? This game is an exception to the rule for me. I can't help but start randomly humming tunes from this game, especially the battle songs, Snow's theme, and the theme of Sunleth Waterscape.
@WritersBlah I never said this game's music is not memorable. I just explained why it is not as memorable as older game music to a person that didn't know why ppl say that. if you dont belive me, just respond to this question, What theme has people hummed or whistled more at random times, the pokemon center theme or FF XIII music?
@NombreUsuario4 Well, I wouldn't know, because I've never played any of the Pokemon games, and even if I did, the place where I live is full of unclassy people who think the only games worth playing are COD and Runescape. -_-
My guess otherwise WOULD be Pokemon Center though...
This is my fav game EVER, it changed my life @.@; I really hate it when..people hate on this game! Feels like they're insulting ME! I loved everything about this game, absolutely no complaints :P (well okay I hated Snow..but if he's in a game THIS awesome, then fine. xD)
I really liked the game, but it could be better by adding more battle control. This game is most strategy, you don't actually need skills to play it, if we could do more combos (I really mean combos, not using attack attack ruin -.-') it would be much better for me. It get kind of boring using the same skills in the same way all the time. If only I could dodge by moving the character with the analogic too.
@HirosamaNadasaki Every single Final Fantasy game has been designed for strategic play. It's based upon decision making and, with FFXIII's new battle interface, combinations of various roles in conjunction with different teams of characters and equipment. If you prefer a more combat-heavy game, I suggest getting FFXIII Versus when it comes out.
Okaaayyyy at first I didn't like FF13 but because of Dissidia 012 somehow I liked it weird :) I never played it before. I think that it's a good game but not as good as the previous FFs sorry to say. It's sad that most games nowadays are changing Resident Evil one of the best examples. :P I love this track btw :D

I won the game and I thought there was a menu button named "ability" to do it and I always used.

@FinalFantasyIXMaster FFXII had the best backround and ambiance music (as well as esper and boss themes) out of all the FFs in my opinion. The music just fits so well with each setting.

Lol @ everyone complaining at the battle system. What is worse, a company experimenting with a product and trying to evolve it as it goes, or just shuffling out carbon copies of the last product all over the place? The battle system wasn't even that bad. It breaks away from the monotonous system. And to the guy complaining about "just mashing X". Don't tell me you didn't do that in random battles before.
Different =/= Bad

@MackDaddyOnTheTrack I'm glad someone is on the same wave length as me! I feel sorry for game developers these days. If they change something, everyone complains, but if they release something too similar, everyone complains anyway. There's just no winning with these people.

@MackDaddyOnTheTrack THANK YOU!
The battle system was NOT the bad part. You always just mashed X to attack for all the normal encounters. The only real problem with XIII was how Linear it was until arriving on Pulse. Personally, the reason I'm a fan of Final Fantasy is because it changes so much every game. In fact, I was quite amazed by the battle system for a few reasons.

@Badham94
I can agree with that. I was anxious to get on my own and start completing some side quests and exploring on my own. However, I still do not think it took away from the story line, and the side quests are not exactly easy to finish, so that helped.
And I liked the battle system as well. It is designed to be strategic. If you use it correctly, you shouldn't mash X over and over again to attack.
MackDaddyOnTheTrack 3 months ago
@MackDaddyOnTheTrack Yeah, on bosses I never spammed X and in normal battles I change paradigms a lot to get the fastest kills I can. I liked the storyline, music, characters and battle system. It was just how linear it was that I didn't like. The sidequests were a nice challenge with a bit of backlore, but nothing more than monster hunting.
Badham94 3 months ago
@MackDaddyOnTheTrack Why fix something that is broken? Sure change is nice but the game overall was terribad. Also, in this game you're always mashing X or playing on the slow settings. In the other games you ONLY mash X for easy random battles; when fighting bosses or tougher enemies though, you needed to actually use proper skill.

@Mercury515
Clearly you used very little "proper skill" in this game. The system is designed to incorporate strategy. It is also designed to not allow a player to over level, due to Crysterium Levels. Literally last week, I beat Sephiroth from FF7, using Knights of the Round one time. LOL PR0PERR SKILLZZ. Once you get to the harder points of the game Paradigm strategy is crucial. As for changing, if they do not come up with new ideas, everyone will say they just remake games.

@MackDaddyOnTheTrack This guy speaks the truth. :) The first battles in this game took far more efford then the first battles in like FF 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 (the ones I actually played). Don't get me wrong I love these games but in the start and the end you'll end up using 1 button to just input "attack". I remmember I did almost every battle in FFVI this way. Everyone with those gloves and scrolls would hit like 8 times 9999. That's alot better then spamming a lame ultima. ATTACK FTW <3

People should learn to accept new battle systems as the company tries to grow. Linear levels in a game which was once known for exploring an entire planet however? Feels like regression.
onigojira 2 months ago
@MackDaddyOnTheTrack
I dunno what these people are complaining about. But I find myself performing paradigm shifts every so often which can make or break difficult battles. Also, the auto-battle doesn't always come up with the best moves. I find myself queuing things like Blitz-Ruinga cause auto-battle would sometimes queue Attack 5 times in a row even if the enemies are bunched together.
I don't know where they get their "mash button X to win", unless it's an easy fight to begin with.

@MackDaddyOnTheTrack I disliked the game bc of the following, u couldnt do shit besides main story. reason i like most ff games is for side tracking, either looking for new summons or boss or weapon or mini games. AND IM NOT TALKING ABOUT CLICKING A MISSION ON FIND THIS MONSTER AND KILL IT(STUPID LAZY IDEA). The game gameplay is soo strict and unfun, only summon like once every few battles. Cant control other players and Ai isnt always reliable. Im sry play this game for fun factor which it lack
AcestarX 2 months ago
@AcestarX
FF13-2 will have that. FF13 doesn't because the main characters are all fugitives. You didn't really expect Osama Bin Laden's men to go window shopping or sightseeing before hijacking a plane for 9/11, did you? It's supposed to be a one-way trip to hell. Make or break. Do or die. No sidetracking crap.
That's the way they made FF13, and if people still couldn't figure out why it's linear in the first place. It's not a technical limitation or anything. It's how they designed it.
fire1202 2 months ago
@MackDaddyOnTheTrack only thing that attract me is graphics and a few theme songs.
everything is else needs work. which i hope ff13-2 fixes but it seems its only 2 characters and able to control monsters instead of actual characters. Sounds like Tales of Symphonia 2 for Wii. and that tales game was horrible compared to others.
AcestarX 2 months ago
@MackDaddyOnTheTrack Not to mention the fact that it's honestly not that simple. You still have to strategize somewhat. Otherwise you'd NEVER get a game-over, and I got quite a few of those.
13 really was a fun and interesting game. And one of the most deep storylines, post-9.
blackwingangel04 2 months ago
@blackwingangel04
I agree. I felt the storyline was incredibly deep. I loved how the characters were so lost on their way. Normally in FF at some point they figure out what they must do and they do just that. In 13 they kind of just kept fighting and moving forward and it all worked out in the end.
MackDaddyOnTheTrack 2 months ago
@MackDaddyOnTheTrack This. Even the ending in which they confronted Orphan was showing that they weren't 100% sure about what to do and what the consequences would be.

I like FF13 as a package but if I had to nitpick it I would definitely say the story was the weakest point. The characters had potential, they all look excellent and its a decent cast but I just felt so unattached tot them. FF6-FF10 I loved all the people and it was an emotional story etc that pulled you in. In FF13 there is nothing to make you care about them, to make you attached or feel sad or want to see what happens. The story was just so bland and boring, which imo made the game hurt bad.

TsubasaFires 4 months ago
ff13 is bad because the combat system is nonsense. Why have spatial attacks when you can't control where the characters move? Why have an ATB bar when you could have just had it on auto and save me the trouble of mashing X over and over.
Atlus knows how to make an rpg, this may not be square enix's worst game, but it's defininitely among them. And it is the biggest letdown. Even comparing ff12's realtime battle system makes it look archaic.

I don't get why ppl say this game's music isn't as memorable...its not a 30 second chip tune loop like some of the old games were composed from. It's probably the best ff ost to date imo. It's consistant, epic, well produced, and there are hi horrible out of place gay chirpy bits either.
theelostriots9999 7 months ago
@theelostriots9999 You may not get it but the reason this music is not as memorable as the older game music exactly because of what you said. The focus of this music is to be consistant and epic not to be memorable. memorable music needs to be simpler, something that stays with and you can whistle easily. for example the ocarina tunes from zelda are extremely memorable and i often find myself whistling the song of storms or the lost woods song when bored.
NombreUsuario4 6 months ago
@NombreUsuario4 Frankly, I have to partially disagree with you. Like you, I usually find the music from the older games (not just FF, just games from the 80's and 90's in general) MUCH more memorable than about 95% of modern game music, but you know what? This game is an exception to the rule for me. I can't help but start randomly humming tunes from this game, especially the battle songs, Snow's theme, and the theme of Sunleth Waterscape.

@WritersBlah I never said this game's music is not memorable. I just explained why it is not as memorable as older game music to a person that didn't know why ppl say that. if you dont belive me, just respond to this question, What theme has people hummed or whistled more at random times, the pokemon center theme or FF XIII music?

I really liked the game, but it could be better by adding more battle control. This game is most strategy, you don't actually need skills to play it, if we could do more combos (I really mean combos, not using attack attack ruin -.-') it would be much better for me. It get kind of boring using the same skills in the same way all the time. If only I could dodge by moving the character with the analogic too.
HirosamaNadasaki 7 months ago
@HirosamaNadasaki Every single Final Fantasy game has been designed for strategic play. It's based upon decision making and, with FFXIII's new battle interface, combinations of various roles in conjunction with different teams of characters and equipment. If you prefer a more combat-heavy game, I suggest getting FFXIII Versus when it comes out.
