In my opinion, i believe they should have not make the the sequel. But, on the other side, we do find new elements no found in FFXIII. I just didnt feel this plot as much as FF XIII
The game was a step forward in future final fantasy games, and is indeed very well structured to suit both old and new fans. I love this track so much i decided to develop a BETTER drum and bass feel to it. you can check the track out on my channel /watch?v=vQsPhyKXJOc
I made a remix of this if you wanna hear it, added more drums and effects to give it that harder drum and bass feel. check my channel our copy paste /watch?v=KTOu3fUVVL4
love this song! nearly completely for the intro. kinda drew out the battle with atlas to hear it :D now i got the soundtrack on meh ipod! the ride to school's gonna get a lot better <.<
Just about the only things I'd criticize in this game are the crystarium layout (liked it better in 13), the lack of being able to learn bravery/faith (which would probably SAVE me in certain battles), the "capacity" setting which forbids you from using effective combinations of accessories, and...Noel. He beyond annoys me. :]
I like how this theme was first revealed during one of the gameplay demos when you fight Atlas's arm, and everyone was all like "WTF IS THIS MUSIC!?" But now that the game is actually out and everything, this is one of the catchiest boss themes I've heard in a while XD
Which btw has anyone noticed that the people (Gaming mags and websites) Reviewing XIII-2 Completely missed the story points of the game saying it " Has no storyline that they are just looking for lightning" What about the fact they are trying to make sure Cocoon doesn't crash into the planet and kill everyone?
@windkitsunes Yeah, they really don't give 13 and 13-2 their due credit. I think after not having a new title for so long and expecting something absolutely perfect after lots of delay made people jaded and all the more critical of the smallest faults. There are plenty of other games that deserve harsh criticism for not living up to expectations (I'm looking at you New Vegas), but these games are fantastic. And 13-2 FAR exceeds the sorry excuse of a game 10-2. Shame on all the criticism.
@windkitsunes If anything, the original FF13 had no storyline. Basicly, it goes as follows. Get cursed, fight for revenge, get screwed repeatedly, kill something, sacrifice, end. Follows the generic FF formula to a t, only without the engaging characters, stuggles, and areas to explore. Don't get me wrong, I liked the game, granted only after I made it to Gran Pulse, but this game is an improvment in almost every way.
@windkitsunes I know! As I played to game I felt like more and more they weren't really playing it. What about Snow and his side story, what about Noel's whole story, and Hope's story, and Alyssa's story? The story for this game has so many more elements that just trying to find lighting
@redichi24 most of the people who reviewed the story felt that the game has no storyline because Serah and Noel are looking for Lightning. But if the reviewers had looked deeper into the story and payed more attention to the smaller details, they would notice that this game just adds on to XIII's plot and goes beyond what we all initially imagined. Serah and Noel aren't just trying to find Lightning anymore, they're trying to save the worlds.
@DreamlessBlu I know that, i was being sarcastic lol, the reviewers are idiots. FF XIII is my 4th favorite series of FF games troll me if you like, but in order my favorite series are VII,VI,X,XIII
I hope everyone notices that SE actually modified a lot of the songs that people complained about in the demo. Hence the reason the Bresha Ruins no longer has rap and the singing in this song was distorted in the English release. Square Enix not only listens, but they listen and change things fast. They put in all this non-linear content in half the time it took them to make FFXIII, and changed the soundtrack in the short space of time between the demo and the official release.
anyone else feel like the freestyler is the guy from linkin park at all? or is it just me? this soundtrack is to one game but can sound like so many different ones. i feel like this song would be in the world ends with you jus sayin ;D
At first I hated the sound of this track, this whole soundtrack. Now I love it to bits. Reaaaaally grows on you. I do not miss Nobuo Uematsu half as much as I used to before this.
Now this is a song that can be used to collect rings, bash Eggman Robots, and grind rails to! Should this song get made as an MP3, then I'll use it on Speed Highway, no questions asked.
I usually hate rap and I used to think this song was ugh but the more I listen to it the more I love it and it's actually quite awesome for this game.
I find myself singing this on a near daily basis. It's an atypical rap, which makes it appealing. Sure the lyrics may be REALLY game specific, but at least the beat's good and the words flow nicely.
Anyone know why this version sounds different than the demo version? In the demo version the voice is more monotone and distorted, which extremely compliments the techno backing, it sounds amazing...or am I just crazy? o_O
@atomskeater Oh it's most definitely there. I watched a demo playthrough and replayed the demo myself just to be sure. I have no idea why the voice sounds different. I like the game version a lot...
@crazy4guitar3000 I actually asked my friend the same thing when I pulled it up after playing the demo. You're not the only one. I could barely make out what he was saying during it.
HEY EVERYONE....this year is the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy series.....are you excited, cause i know i am!!!! what do you think is the next FF (besides XIII-2 and Type-0).....hmmm probably Nomura will announce Versus XIII this year!!!! who agrees with me.
