I noticed that Square enix when they make sequal final fantasy games tehy never involve the same main character the sequal/prequal switches main character Final fantasy 4 from Cecil--->Ceodore. Final fantasy 7 Zack--->Cloud---->Vincent. Final fantasy 10 Tidus--->Yuna. and now Lightning---> Serah. I want a sequal with the same bloody main character for both not the older main character becomeing a side character or not even appearing at all.
@Lelouchxzero1 No one cares about this ridiculous opinion they might change their main characters but the story continues from another persons point of view and plus XIII had no Main character its was more like Main Characters.
i like XIII better cause of the fact of character building like u just met the characters and you find out more about them. i mean both are great games but only learning about noels past. I enjoy having a bunch of characters become a strong team other than 2 of the same characters and a third wheel. i like the idea but i prefer a band together, xiii-2 just broke up the band. But seriously both are great games, great soundtrack and a great genre, Defying fate and doing the impossible
@itypeupsidedown I like it better because it's ending did not suck and the story lasted longer then 14 hours the only thing i liked about this game more was the monster party members
this theme hook me up since the first time it plays at the start of the game,, when noel get to new bodum and the monsters are invading the town, while in the background you see cocoon in the moonlight
@noxie1 JUST the intro is simple. Everything else requires alot of skill to perform and even more to compose ;). Mizuta did a FANTASTIC frickin job on this. My fav track on the entire OST =D!
personally I didn't like FFXIII only for one point which was that at times (again only at some times) the music was too calming. (I'm not saying they were bad music. they were in fact awesome pieces. I just felt they were kinda too calming and kinda made me sleepy as I played haha)
but FFXIII-2 on the other hand. I have no complaints! :D
i don't understand why people hate ff13....its better than the old take turns attacking....story is more interesting....battle system is engaging....soundtrack is top notch......i just don't get why....they have no real reason to hate....
@BboyEssences People say FF had gone down hill. But me as a fan for a good amount of years, and played this game, I realized it NEVER went down. They only went into a new generation. I dont know if it refers to games but once you get 'older' you try new things. Thats all that happened to FF. No downhills, just new things. :D
@Sanbonita1 It's like... people are becoming the 2 old men in the park. The ones who always complain about how their generation was the best generation.
Sorry some of you people are incapable of enjoying games beyond PS1 days.
@BboyEssences Story had a few plot holes imo. Turn based RPGs have always been my favorite RPG, but the new battle system was still fun. Soundtrack for XIII sucked, it put me to sleep in almost every battle i went into, XIII-2 however was a major improvement.
I'm an old school RPG fan, but I welcome the newer RPGs, even though they're a little too easy.
I think people need to calm down with the "This isn't a final fantasy, this game sucks" XIII and XIII 2 are fine it's just a step in a different direction and it's still a final fantasy it has an amazing soundtrack and story with strategic gameplay that's kind of what a Final Fantasy is. A role playing game, which is what this is. XIII is my 3rd favorite and it's staying up there until a better game arrives.
Well, XIII had amazing graphics, and interesting premise, a great battle system, a decent leveling up system, the most awesome protagonist of all time, intense FMVs and a pretty good soundtrack given Uematsu didn't contribute.
XIII-2 is the same. Only the battle system is faster, the leveling up system allows for an extreme amount of customization, the paradigm pack system is awesome, the story for me took a little step back but oh well.
@GenerationBright Forgot to mention in XIII-2 the maps in my opinion were a lot more fleshed out and funner to traverse. And I didn't want to strangle Hope every time I saw it.
@GenerationBright Hope got a lot better as XIII went along, but I agree. For the most part (especially in disc 1), I wanted to just reach into the screen and strangle him.. haha.
@BB8100able Well i got this on monday and i finished it yesterday, the storyline wise, not sidequests.. But i finished fast because i played nonstop :P. It depends on how you play, if you just go trough it fast following the story it can seem a bit short, but not that short either. If you take your time to explore the towns and all the areas then it can be long, and all the paradox endings makes it long^^
I hate call of duty games, and i don't go around on cod videos saying how much i dislike it. If you dont' like a game, don't play it and do something else. Don't bitch and complain on videos and start arguments.
I LOVE this game! I got it when it first came out and have been playing it. Very nice game, graphics, characters, monsters on your team, etc. I have been a FF fan since I was a little kid and it never stopped! Each one was unique and had their own characters and music to fall in love with. No, I'm not going to bash FF 13-2 or any other one because I can accept change in the series. With that said, auto battle is amazing when you're trying to do homework and play the game. LOL!
@shortydapimp28 love the battle system too! i just wish xiii-2 bosses had higher difficulties! lol! being "Maxed Out" in xiii made vercingetorix, raktavija, etc. feel almost impossible until you find the right techniques after losing 3-5 times xD
@shortydapimp28 For real. I hate the older titles' battle systems, honestly. Like, FFVII for example. I won't bash it though or anything. I just really don't like it, is all I'm saying. You don't have much freedom as you do with FFXIII's battle system, and you definitely don't feel like you need to be on your toes at all times.
Well said. Default to the Abilities command. The Auto-button, IMO, is demoralizing and makes the battle experience dull. Besides, how many times has the Auto button chosen 'Sparkstrike' for a magically oriented character, or has chosen the wrong buff/debuff for the situatin you're in?
@LupheXine Because let's say that the enemy is weak to electricity, and the character in question has thunder, thundara and sparkstrike. The auto-battle option uses Thunder-Sparkstrike-thunder because using thunder 3 times would make the stagger gauge fill slower which in turn isn't what you want/need. If there are more than 1 enemy of the same type near each other the auto option would choose Thunder-thundara because of AoE damage, other than that sparkstrike and thunder all the way!
I am aware of the circumstances. I don't approve of having my battles fought for me. If you know how your moves are laid out, you can do that more efficiently by yourself.
That is why some people complain that this game plays itself. It's similar to using poison/death to defeat powerful enemies like Neochu from XIII or Yomi from XIII-2. It's more exciting with abilities and strategy, not auto battle and stall w/broken attacks. Limit breaks cannot be chosen in Auto battle either.
@LupheXine Yes, I was not defending auto-battle, I was just saying that it doesn't make bad choices all the time. I prefer to battle by myself because most of the time as a medic or sab/syn you need to choose for yourself or the game will mess up. And of course Full ATB skills are very useful and auto-battle never chooses them..
Nonetheless, super game, unforgettable track (that's all mine thanks to the collector's edition) and looking forward to recruiting my fav character Sazh in the upcoming DLC.
y no one rly classes any ff past x-2 as an ff but this one is an exception in my opinion loved the storyline, battle system is the same as xiii and i didn't rly like it that much except capturing monsters that was a nice touch, happy as hell they added the chocobo races the classics are always the best :P, so overall great game
Wow, I gotta say I'm not a fan of any FF after X-2 but this track is amazing. Honestly if it were not for the battle system in this game then I would be all over this.
@ddensu I know where you come from. I loved XIII-2 but it really didn't feel as a FF game. Then again, nowadays, what game does? Versus XIII certainly won't, I'm afraid =/
@ddensu Its not completely wrong - we have seen SquareEnix trying out different systems throughout - if you recall earlier trailers of FFXIII, they had cinematic cutscenes which looked like a battle system. That concept never did show in FFXIII, but it is there now in FFXIII-2. I wouldn't say its the end product of an "evolution" but certainly the process of an "evolution".
@Sainare You dont make a battle system based on how pretty it looks
FFXIII battle system is essentially an Active Time Battle System-version of the Persona 3 one (I don't think Persona 3 it's the first in using it though), with "Leaders" (if leader dies you lose) and automatic party members.
There is nothing new in the battle system, I almost beat FFXIII just pressing X all the time, and that's lame
FFXIII-2 is a huge improvement (I like it), but I don't see it as a process of an "evolution"
@Sainare But don’t get me wrong: FFXIII is a good and well-presented piece of entertainment, but it’s hard to defend its claim as a role-playing game when the biggest kind of exploration you do is backtrack a linear dungeon just to kill respawned enemies, or just explore what seemed to be the game’s overworld until you realize that it’s just one huge, goddamn circular map.
@ddensu You're not getting my point but rather saying your opinions about FFXIII - which I agree with you completely about the linear gameplay but not the battle system. I don't think the stagger system was ever implemented in the previous titles.
But getting back to my original point, all FF games are the process of development for the next game - because even in SquareEnix's long term plan the final Final Fantasy does not exist.
I think FFXIII-2 is the best one challenge wise because it makes you think more then all the other ones did. FFXIII was good too because it makes the player level up all the characters. The main problem with the older games there's no reason to use the other characters once you get to a certain point of the game. So I'm glad they changed the battle system for FFXIII.
Yeah but it was never about that. I also used only 3 characters in FF13 and in each FF ever since the 1st one. I always have my favorite characters in the party and usually don't use others a lot. And from what I figured many people do it this way.
@ChakaZoltan I have my favorites too in the older FF games but what I was trying to say is that, the older games lack any reason to keep every character balanced. Take FFX for an example: Lulu was extremely valuable in the beginning but lost that value very early on. For the games before that the characters were all able to use the same abilities so, it was easy to pick favorites. FFXIII for the most part fixed that.
and people were saying the new Final Fantasy games didn't have any iconic tracks!? songs like this one, and Blinded by Light are definitely going to pass the test of time.
I have nothing against people having different opinions, I personaly have liked every single game in the series bar the mmo's which i havnt played. but people need to stop bashing these games to the ground just because they dont like them. Just because you dont like something it doesnt automatically make it bad. 13 and 13-2 were both good games
I'd like to see more "wasnt the game for me" type comments, and less out and out bashing of a perfectly good game.
@BigK42O Personally, I prefer the classic style games (FFIX is my favourite of every FF), but I did like XIII and XIII-2, they're good, but they're different. And I think most old FF fans just can't accept the change, I mean, they're allowed to dislike the changes, but to say that FF is doomed is pretty silly.
i feel like with every ff that comes out there is even greater music, i cant say one ff's music is better than another because each ff is a step closer to the greatest vgm of all
Never really enjoyed an FF game outside of IV, VI and Tactics Advance. Just picked up XIII-2 and I'm loving it so far. This is definitely one of my favorite tracks in the game. It's just so energetic, jazzy and happy.
the reason people say it sucks balls because its not a first person shooter were it takes 2 hits to kill someone. In FF games you need to use your mind think of out comes make plans you cant just run into battle like your a god. no you need buffs weapons. so most these people who say this game sucks its because they cant beat the first boss or they are first person shooter fan boys who need to learn what a real game is.... so yeah there you go... anyway love the game!!
@TheUnforgivenOnline Really, no. It's because they're not as good as the previous installments in the series, though I wouldn't call them terrible either. And really, I don't know about this one but FFXIII was far from being difficult, it doesn't even compare to the Shin Megami Tensei series difficulty-wise for instance.
um, how can you even compare that game to final fantasy? 100% different gameplay so you can't compare the difficulty. ff13 had so really frustrating moments, but you could start right back where you died so it was tedious to keep trying.
@Kirbyluver2 FFXIII and FFXIII-2 both kinda take inspiration from SMT with the whole deal of facing a game over if the main character dies in XIII and the monster system in XIII-2. And I really don't see why you can't compare the difficulty of two different games, especially when they are both JRPG which require some strategy to survive. The only really frustrating moment I remember in FFXIII was the battle against Alexander but i though it was pretty neat at the same time.
i am probably thinking of a different game than you mentioned, sorry about that. But the difficulty in 13 really depends on how you build your main party, certain bosses will be more challenging than others based on the choices you made. For me, bahamut ripped me to shreds in seconds because i hadn't used fang or vanille too much.
Everything changes with time, even games. Just because you guys grow older, doesn't mean the games have to be like that.
Im about 25 hours in FFXIII-2 and I'm amazed of what they made of it. The story's very intriguing (Way more behind it than just saving someone) and the gameplay is just fun. The auto-battle button is there for a reason, because you need to act quickly .. Same for changing paradigms, you'll have to change them constantly, else you'll just lose.
I just got the OST, and the sountrack listing directory lists this song as "Full Speed Ahead." "Dash" may be an alternative translation of it, but it should be duly noted that the "official" English title is "Full Speed Ahead."
From a game developer's standpoint, ff13 was meant to challenge the creative limits of the franchise, something I can respect. Though, the reason I believe the series sees its toppling, soon, is because people want a more human story. Ever since ff7, taking out ff12 (I found it to be intelligent), it was hard to relate to the characters as they weren't, human. Gamers are seeing the medium become more of an art thus is why there is such backlash to the series, now... It's the gamers that changed.
The battles aren't about the actions you do, but WHEN you do them. To survive in battle and get the chain gauge up, you need to time your actions well with the team. You can get by some battles by mashing auto, but the challenging enemies and bosses require absolute timing and execution. Relying on auto command for those battles can be both good and bad, good because your timing will be precise, but bad because they may not be the commands you want. Until you master the battle UI,
@TekGriever Square Enix offers you the liberty to chose your actions and to act quickly during a battle if you need this. People should stop criticizing this great system. Stop using the auto command, use your skills manually, this is the best way to enjoy the fight.
It's funny because, if you just put one action, players won't like because they are hindered, if you offer them choices, they'll say this is shit because they always act the easy way. I don't really get it.
Wow, I can't even find a single SONG from the game without seeing people arguing. Here's the thing people. EVERYONE LIKES DIFFERENT THINGS!!!! Stop forcing opinions on each other! Be quiet, go ENJOY what you DO like, and just get on with it!
@MakoChanx Keep all your opinions inside of you, huh? I guess we don't need this comment box then, do we? We should all become unsocial induviduals, lets demand youtube to eradicate this nonsense called "commenting". It's not to force opinions, it's just to express them. It's ironic, cause you're the one forcing. You're telling everyone to not discuss their opinions, to keep them inside. You're the irony, and you're the hipocrisy. You're not respected.
@horekar I don't recall telling anyone to "keep all your opinions inside". I agree, everyone should express their opinion, as I am now. What I don't agree with, is the people who seek out those opinions, and deliberately force their own and state the other persons opinion is wrong, which is who my comment was aimed at, and how the unnecessary arguments form. I apologise if my original comment offended you, however as you state that "I am the hipocrisy" I too, was just expressing my opinion.
A great mix of guitar riffs, solos and seeming improvisational chaos that nicely fades back into the main melody again. Fun, surprising and most of all attention-grabbing.
Yeah it is a big step from the sound in 13-1. Its sorta like sonic the hedgehog how the music style drastically changed from the 2d days and at the beginning of the style change it sounded weird but they progressed in that style to a point where we like it now. We still love the old but just bring new things so we can progress and make something new. I have no problem with this song whatsoever :)
I love Final Fantasy but.. but god I haven't played a good Final Fantasy game since 10.. Played the first ff 13... i had to force myself to beat it.... thats a bad thing.
Whatever this track was good in Bresha AF300. Probably one of my favorite tracks in the game, and Bresha Rap wasn't even in NA. And Colliding Worlds wasn't played that much. Whatever, this will have to do.
I personally don't care whether or not final fantasy is taken in new directions so long as those new directions are still good in their own right FFXIII and XIII-2 were not. Please excuse me while I wait for ff versus XIII and type-0 as the seem to be the only ones truly keeping the spirit of final fantasy alive.
Believe it or not i actually feel like im listening to something from star ocean sounds very well done and even as a classic FF Fan I have to say its a Nice edition to the series. Still miss the victory fan fare tho LOL

I laugh at that.
ddensu 3 weeks ago
@ddensu Its not completely wrong - we have seen SquareEnix trying out different systems throughout - if you recall earlier trailers of FFXIII, they had cinematic cutscenes which looked like a battle system. That concept never did show in FFXIII, but it is there now in FFXIII-2. I wouldn't say its the end product of an "evolution" but certainly the process of an "evolution".
Sainare 3 weeks ago
@Sainare You dont make a battle system based on how pretty it looks
FFXIII battle system is essentially an Active Time Battle System-version of the Persona 3 one (I don't think Persona 3 it's the first in using it though), with "Leaders" (if leader dies you lose) and automatic party members.
There is nothing new in the battle system, I almost beat FFXIII just pressing X all the time, and that's lame
FFXIII-2 is a huge improvement (I like it), but I don't see it as a process of an "evolution"
IMO

DarkFrozenDepths 3 weeks ago
@Sainare But don’t get me wrong: FFXIII is a good and well-presented piece of entertainment, but it’s hard to defend its claim as a role-playing game when the biggest kind of exploration you do is backtrack a linear dungeon just to kill respawned enemies, or just explore what seemed to be the game’s overworld until you realize that it’s just one huge, goddamn circular map.
ddensu 3 weeks ago
@ddensu You're not getting my point but rather saying your opinions about FFXIII - which I agree with you completely about the linear gameplay but not the battle system. I don't think the stagger system was ever implemented in the previous titles.
But getting back to my original point, all FF games are the process of development for the next game - because even in SquareEnix's long term plan the final Final Fantasy does not exist.

EGoldyGold 3 weeks ago
I think FFXIII-2 is the best one challenge wise because it makes you think more then all the other ones did. FFXIII was good too because it makes the player level up all the characters. The main problem with the older games there's no reason to use the other characters once you get to a certain point of the game. So I'm glad they changed the battle system for FFXIII.

@1121Angel06
Yeah but it was never about that. I also used only 3 characters in FF13 and in each FF ever since the 1st one. I always have my favorite characters in the party and usually don't use others a lot. And from what I figured many people do it this way.

@ChakaZoltan lolno.
Most of the people I know always level up every character.
I always do that, in order to have everything in "max" da game (That's probably why I have over 100 hours in every RPG i play, lolk)
ddensu 3 weeks ago
@ChakaZoltan I have my favorites too in the older FF games but what I was trying to say is that, the older games lack any reason to keep every character balanced. Take FFX for an example: Lulu was extremely valuable in the beginning but lost that value very early on. For the games before that the characters were all able to use the same abilities so, it was easy to pick favorites. FFXIII for the most part fixed that.
1121Angel06 6 days ago
@1121Angel06 13 didn't fix that. The sentinel class was useless in the game. 13-2 did a better job with it.

I have nothing against people having different opinions, I personaly have liked every single game in the series bar the mmo's which i havnt played. but people need to stop bashing these games to the ground just because they dont like them. Just because you dont like something it doesnt automatically make it bad. 13 and 13-2 were both good games
I'd like to see more "wasnt the game for me" type comments, and less out and out bashing of a perfectly good game.

@BigK42O Personally, I prefer the classic style games (FFIX is my favourite of every FF), but I did like XIII and XIII-2, they're good, but they're different. And I think most old FF fans just can't accept the change, I mean, they're allowed to dislike the changes, but to say that FF is doomed is pretty silly.

No13Machine 3 weeks ago
the reason people say it sucks balls because its not a first person shooter were it takes 2 hits to kill someone. In FF games you need to use your mind think of out comes make plans you cant just run into battle like your a god. no you need buffs weapons. so most these people who say this game sucks its because they cant beat the first boss or they are first person shooter fan boys who need to learn what a real game is.... so yeah there you go... anyway love the game!!

@TheUnforgivenOnline Really, no. It's because they're not as good as the previous installments in the series, though I wouldn't call them terrible either. And really, I don't know about this one but FFXIII was far from being difficult, it doesn't even compare to the Shin Megami Tensei series difficulty-wise for instance.
Noreillay 3 weeks ago
@Noreillay
um, how can you even compare that game to final fantasy? 100% different gameplay so you can't compare the difficulty. ff13 had so really frustrating moments, but you could start right back where you died so it was tedious to keep trying.
Kirbyluver2 3 weeks ago
@Kirbyluver2 FFXIII and FFXIII-2 both kinda take inspiration from SMT with the whole deal of facing a game over if the main character dies in XIII and the monster system in XIII-2. And I really don't see why you can't compare the difficulty of two different games, especially when they are both JRPG which require some strategy to survive. The only really frustrating moment I remember in FFXIII was the battle against Alexander but i though it was pretty neat at the same time.
Noreillay 3 weeks ago
@Noreillay
i am probably thinking of a different game than you mentioned, sorry about that. But the difficulty in 13 really depends on how you build your main party, certain bosses will be more challenging than others based on the choices you made. For me, bahamut ripped me to shreds in seconds because i hadn't used fang or vanille too much.

Everything changes with time, even games. Just because you guys grow older, doesn't mean the games have to be like that.
Im about 25 hours in FFXIII-2 and I'm amazed of what they made of it. The story's very intriguing (Way more behind it than just saving someone) and the gameplay is just fun. The auto-battle button is there for a reason, because you need to act quickly .. Same for changing paradigms, you'll have to change them constantly, else you'll just lose.

From a game developer's standpoint, ff13 was meant to challenge the creative limits of the franchise, something I can respect. Though, the reason I believe the series sees its toppling, soon, is because people want a more human story. Ever since ff7, taking out ff12 (I found it to be intelligent), it was hard to relate to the characters as they weren't, human. Gamers are seeing the medium become more of an art thus is why there is such backlash to the series, now... It's the gamers that changed.

@TekGriever
The battles aren't about the actions you do, but WHEN you do them. To survive in battle and get the chain gauge up, you need to time your actions well with the team. You can get by some battles by mashing auto, but the challenging enemies and bosses require absolute timing and execution. Relying on auto command for those battles can be both good and bad, good because your timing will be precise, but bad because they may not be the commands you want. Until you master the battle UI,

TekGriever 3 weeks ago
@TekGriever Square Enix offers you the liberty to chose your actions and to act quickly during a battle if you need this. People should stop criticizing this great system. Stop using the auto command, use your skills manually, this is the best way to enjoy the fight.
It's funny because, if you just put one action, players won't like because they are hindered, if you offer them choices, they'll say this is shit because they always act the easy way. I don't really get it.
