  • why am i watching this i beat this game a long time ago

  • @johnhyx23 Maybe because this game is awesome and you really like it! xD

  • @yukiharvestfans yeah probably lol. i can't wait for 13-2

  • @johnhyx23 Me too. . Can't wait to play it and to know the whole story behind it

  • @yukiharvestfans the only down side i see to it so far is that you don't play as lightning for most of the game. which sucks because she was my favorite main ff character since squall. but i guess serah and noel are okay as long as i don't have to deal with hope lol

  • @johnhyx23 Lol the main character that I love is Leon and then Lightning, too! xD yup it is kinda disappointing that Lightning is not the main character in FFXIII-2. . But I think in the middle of the gameplay, probably Lightning is playable, might join the party, maybe. . Hahah lets just hope for it

  • @ZealandGamerXD Lmao, your claims are a joke, i SAID in japan, and you said international. Your ability to read is seriously good. I sure enjoy a good laugh.

    You did research? well, your research fail seriously. let me give you few hints, in Japan, FFXIII was Rank E, and Retailing at 500 Yen, and Used Copy are 300 Yen.

  • @ZealandGamerXD I'm so sorry, and have to apologize for my language, and i am thankful that you will try your best to process what i'm saying. Well, you may say that, But for my, Pokemon series has been a great success so far.

    And also, if you're criticizing me, you're also criticizing all the japanese as well, since they too give FFXIII a bad rating and you could even buy the game dirt cheap price like $5 USD/ 300 Yen in Japan Just after 2 weeks of FFXIII release.

  • @ZealandGamerXD Serious, i think you don't even read what i wrote, A game that is linear in 1st series, being linear through out the whole series are OKAY for me, For Btw Maze and World Map is consider non linear? Removing World Map and Maze is a way of being Linear? get your facts right.

  • @ZealandGamerXD I have been gaming since the beginning of NES and SNES. so that means i have narrow amount of games at my disposal. yeah right. Did you ever play FF1 ? Do you know what FF1 has? And then Compare that to FF13. Making a game Linear is the same as making a game bad, because it was overly simplified, you want a Linear example? Command And Conquer 4, That is Linear enough. Removing Harvest, Base Building, Power Station, Build order. Sure!! It's War game, build unit and war right?

  • honestly, why not make it optionable for the new way of battle or revert to abt time system? i would love it so much more that way

    and ff7 cc sucks. have the level ups in it

  • How many final fantasies are there? 30 or something?

  • I love everything about this game!! best ff for me!!

  • linear piece of crap, too much focus on graphics as oppose to story, gameplay, and character development.

  • @Francozilla LOL where did you hear that? ff7 fanboys? or the biased reviews on gameinformer?

  • i have a feeling FF XIII-2 gonna be suck as well, well... dissappointing, in the end, making huge map is too trouble for you and you make alternatives choice. not that we don't want to gives you choice, but it is yourself that destroys your own unique and glory. Good bye Final Fantasy Series.

  • @Cyclonechuah oh my god.. =___= what has happened to people nowadays? so cynical and so attached to the past... People like you make me sick to my stomach.

  • @UltraPenguinx3 this is why people like you doesn't even appreciate a single game, a game without critic won't improve, btw, you got stomach problem? please go toilet and breath some fresh air instead of posting a reply showing how saint you are.

  • @Cyclonechuah appreciate? look who's talking about appreciation LOL if anyone is appreciating, its me. I don't go around comparing new games to ones of the past, final fantasy 13 was a great game despite its linearity, but liking a game that has flaws is called appreciation. I understand that there are great old games and i have played a lot of them but You don't 'appreciate you WORSHIP. Any game that doesn't give you that same nostalgic feeling like final fantasy7 is a piece of crap to you.

  • @UltraPenguinx3 first of all, i play all the series, and by the way, i'm not like you which you worship and like every stuff they release, btw, any game that doesn't give me that same nostalgic felling like final fantasy 7 is a piece of crap to me? which one you're saying? if you're saying Crisis Core, Then it is crap and you don't even understand what am i talking about, go breath some fresh air and also go to toilet if your stomach show signs of sick again.

  • @Cyclonechuah I worship every game that they make? that is not true, i can tell what games are good or bad, final fantasy x-2 for example, That was terrible and pure fan service. And just because a game has good graphics doesn't mean the they didn't try at the storyline. And also, please stop commenting on my 'stomach flu' and i'll try not bashing you for your horrible grammar which i can barely understand =_=.

  • @UltraPenguinx3 okay, you did dislike some of the games they release, and so do i. What my point of view is why not improving the overall of the game instead of simplifying dungeon maze to single route, removing world map and city scene. This to me doesn't make any sense, world map is always fun to explore and it's the main point people play Final Fantasy Series, Yet now the whole crap has become Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core where you're lock into the story and no free roam.

  • @Cyclonechuah

    "Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core where you're lock into the story and no free roam" dude between missions you can free roam the hell you on?

  • @deviltrigger555 Tell me where can you free roam. world map? any dungeon you can enter freely?

  • @Cyclonechuah

    while it's not of that high level such as world map you can walk around midgar, shinra building(the chapter in which it gets attack even has rooms off to the side that you can go in for extra stuff) ,Sector 5(in fact when you go and seeAerith you have to walk to it rather then go stright there),etc. while its a "tat" linier it's NOWHERE near the point where it ruins the game like it is in 13, you still have some freedom you still have NPC's(ones that change what they say mind you)

  • @deviltrigger555 Well, you can see how the game keep degrade itself overtime, not i have to say it, game has been decreasing quality over better graphics, while you still can enjoy FF7 CC few years ago, look how it degraded now ?

  • @Cyclonechuah

    don't mistaken me i know it's been down hill lately im just saying CC isn't as bad as most of it's haters think it is. little things like hitting on the shinra desk girl(she turns you down then when you go up a rank she says she was wrong about you) makes the game that much better in my books.

  • ff games are too complicated for me.

  • @coolchillrock go play tetris

  • @muncher541 haha... very funny.

  • @coolchillrock how so?

  • @coolchillrock go play pacman.

  • why are square makin sequel to 13 it was a complete b l o w j o b hinal fantasy got ruined it will never be the same again everything from1 to 10 was great even 12 but the rest they might as well call it quits no longer the real turn based

  • @neil54life I agree with U. After FFX, all subsequence game became GAY. The bright open world, colorful characters, alien space craft, lights orbs, mundane languages, ie...l'Cie, Fal'Cie, C'ieth" WTF?...If u notice FF13 has the same inhabitance as FFX. So it doesn't feel like another universe as all previous FF title take place in, it feels like an expanded one. Also FFX-2--Gay GAY GAY 3 girls---battle system= Dress Sphere...so many fruity colors and design in these recent games.

  • i hope square enix makes more final fantasy games on xbox 360 cause i like this game

  • @gameteacher101 To bad Versus XIII Will be PS3 exclusive. At lease XIII2 will be for Xbox.

  • @BlackHei711 yeah that sucks but as long as more ff games are on xbox im good

  • ''The basiscs are''

    keep spamming x button.

    YOU HAVE MASTERED THE BATTLE SYSTEM!

  • @Guyverhoeven lol if only it worked that way :P

  • @UltraPenguinx3 It almost does......

  • Omg he called Sazh "snow" O_o XD

  • It's difficult to find a more hilariously broken battle system than that in Final Fantasy XIII.

  • @meowlaise That's funny because FFXIII's battle system is the LEAST broken of the series

  • @yoyoyo88665 It's not that it was so fast-paced or that it relied on constantly shifting paradigms, but the fact that it was all too easy to enter unwinnable battles simply because you didn't have the right paradigms in the quick list. Also, in many cases it was impossible to know beforehand which combinations of paradigms should be used to defeat certain enemies. The Eidolons were especially frustrating in this regard.

    A very refreshing and interesting system, but broken none the less. (^_^)

  • What a dumb horse

  • Truly enjoyed this game and I think it's one of the best games of the year along with Heavy Rain, Nier and Mass Effect 2. The story, combat and characters really clicked with me, so much so I got a platinum trophy. Could've used a blitzball/gold saucer minigame but overall loved the whole adventure. =)

  • @neil54life lol thats funny xD 8 shouldnt even be on that list

  • Comment removed

  • Final Fantasy... i tot it was the Final but they has 13 of it . They should change the name to Sequel Fantasy

  • @DeadlysinzZ Squaresoft went bankrupt and Hironobu Sakaguchi announced that his FINAL game would be a FANTASY, which went on to save the company.

  • @DeadlysinzZ what the hell are you talking about?? the game is called final fantasy, not fantasy ,dummie./

  • @echizenn808 im just saying -.- i know the name is Final Fantasy . The title sounds weird :/ .

  • @DeadlysinzZ huh?how can it be weird whens its saying the title and what part of the game + battle showcase?0.o

  • @DeadlysinzZ As i heard (since it might be only myth) name final fantasy came because when first installment came SquereSoft was near fall down the business and the game was there last chance, thats why there Final in title ;]

  • they combined the gambit system and the turn based actions and atb gauge from older final fantasy. the best!

  • oawh i can't play it :( its in PS3 :((((

  • @ahhhhhron no they jus came out with the xbox version too!

  • ITS NOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTT PARADIM  ITS PARADIGM!!!

  • many hate the gameplay of this game. i already finished 5 to 12 ff. and i havent play this. i hope this is the best ff. as i expected.

  • In my opinion this is the best FF!!!

  • I loved FFX gameplay and FFXII, but many peolple say the old style turn-based battle system should return. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK

  • i cant wait it for the psp :D

  • ff7 and ff10 are best games created need to be remade end of story

  • I can't wait for FF 17 to come out

  • In my opinion the only ff that offered something different in battles was only ff 12..ff 13 the way i see it is still turn based with characters moving around the arena giving the illusion it's real time..i don't know..like i said it's only my opinion..but i expected better..

  • @StunEmpact

    Learn a little word called OPINION. Just because you may not have enjoyed the battle system or storyline, and that's your loss, doesn't mean everyone else who did enjoy it are idiots. If your closed minded and don't want to enjoy it that's your problem. If you don't want to seem stupid, don't state opinions like they're fact. :)

  • check out end of eternity by tri-ace

  • This game looks awesome. It's a shame 14 looks much more disappointing.

  • Squaresoft doesnt exist anymore, they are the now horrible company called Square Enix, from games like Last Remnant, FF14 Online etc. Squaresoft was about Chrono Trigger, FF6, FFX etc

  • @Turkish2023 agreed

  • @Turkish2023 Last Remnant is horrible on the 360 but not on the PC. Trust me, I've tried both versions. Hated it on the 360, LOVED it on the PC.

  • @Turkish2023 doesnt square enix make the kingdom hearts games? cuz if they do then i cant completely hate them xD

  • While the game itself is not the best of the saga, the battle music is without doubts the most exciting, beautiful and powerful.

  • i only know 2 jobs

    a blowjob and a handjob..

  • @IDnBx hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­haa

  • @IDnBx

    Game: StunEmpact

    Minimum Requirement: Handjob

    Recommended: Blowjob

  • its a good game and like the guy said its a little complex at firsdt but you'll learn quick im sure.

  • wow looks too complicated.

  • @GuiLingKwek

    It's really not once you get the hang of it. It just takes alot of patience and getting use to.

  • If you think FFXIII is the best out the series then you are obviously not a real fan nor a real gamer. Don't let graphics over shine gameplay and storyline.

  • @StunEmpact ...Or perhaps you simply have different tastes, for which there's no accounting.

  • @TheHeroHartmut So do you think FFXIII is the best in the series. If so, why? Oh, and I am not trying to attack you or be rude. I just like hearing other people views. I do not mind constructive critism, immature comments on the other hand...

    Also, sometimes alot of ppl play the "we have different taste" card. But I think the saying. "Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that doesn't mean they are right" applies.

  • @StunEmpact Actually, I've never played it. I don't own a PS3 or a 360. IX is my personal favourite, since it's the first one I played.

  • @TheHeroHartmut Yea Final Fantasy IX was also a great game. At that time it was even btr because it pushed the graphics and cinema that wasn't seen in previous games/series

  • Sweet Jesus, it's like sitting through a class on motherfucking Microsoft Excel!!

  • @RincewindsHat66 oh look, yahtzee's still on youtube

  • @dinggledoser I only steal witticisms from the best ;)

  • @RincewindsHat66 then why steal from yahtzee he sucks

  • @dinggledoser Oh, are you butthurt that he made fun of a game you like? He's torn the shit out of plenty of games that I love, but that doesn't mean that he isn't entertaining.

  • @RincewindsHat66 I never played this and I never want to. He hasn't bashed a single game I've liked (though, I haven't seen any of his recent reviews since kane and lynch 2) but I can still say his reviews are boring incoherent and just all around. He needs to change things up because everyone of his reviews are the same.

  • @dinggledoser How are they "all the same"? Are episodes of The Daily Show or Seinfeld or Archer or Futurama or South Park "all the same" to you? And besides, Zero Punctuation isn't actually about reviewing a game. It's about ranting and overstating a game's every slight flaw (or major flaw) for comedic effect.

  • @RincewindsHat66 All the shows you've listed evolved over time. Yahtzee has been the same boring douche bag with the same brain-dead jokes since 2007. It's repetitive. The observations he makes are the observations anyone could make.

  • @dinggledoser Well, you're wrong. Not, "I think you're wrong", you're wrong in the same way that saying that "2+2=17" is wrong. However, I'm certain that I'll never convince you of that fact, so I'm not going to bother trying. My suggestion is that you make your own humorous game review videos and post them on Youtube. When you fail to attract as much traffic or acclaim as Zero Punctuation, then I think that will prove the falseness of your statements better than my words ever could.

  • @RincewindsHat66 u mad, bro?

  • I bought it kick ass game

  • I get if they eliminated the "Auto-battle" command, this game will be a lot more challenging and fun.

  • this game sucked, but the battle system was cool.

  • @tkhape you suck

  • @GRUNGERINNIRVANA well did you actually like this game?

  • @tkhape yea dude i very liked this game

  • there something i really can't understand in this game, what's the point of having 6 eidolons in the game if you can only call 1 in a fight !!! WTF SERIOUSLY !!!!

  • @legendaryawesomedude You are very smart and will get very far in life..NOT. The reason is because you can switch whom ever you play. One person has their specific eidolon, dumbass. What you're saying is that there shouldn't be any eidolons or have them all access all eidolons, correct? If that were to happen, this game would have no originality.

  • @OnTheToiletBeyotch kinda rude, but i don't think he wanted there to be no eidolons. I agree with him that having to switch ur main char everytime you want to use another eidolon is kinda weird. But like i stated in another comment i respect its seperation from other rpgs in that sense.

  • @legendaryawesomedude yea i didn't like the fact that I could only use one Eidolon per game. I mean i respected the fact that it seperated itself with this feature, but it sucks have to switch ur main character everytime you want to use another eidolon.

  • Just rented this from BlockBuster :)

  • Once you get to the open mission area about 20 hours in, this game becomes a huge grindfest. Honestly, i think the battles are the game's weak point. Fights drag on for too long and you cant even move your own character so you arent standing in the cleave zone. The game is good, but its just painful to play once you get to the missions.

  • @Allthatisrock you could never move your eown characters but you can change one character to a sentinel to which the ai will move in front and the other 2 will move to the back freeing youre self up from direct attacks but AOE attacks will hit you unless the sentinel moves into the middle of the enemy pack which they do later on in the game

  • ff7 is good but its overrated and it has flaws too

    its just so famous people ignore these flaws

  • @UltraPenguinx3 what are the flaws?

  • @UltraPenguinx3 indeed. then everybody expects the others to be better. if they aren't they suck. this reasoning has droven away players attention from the actual game

  • @UltraPenguinx3

    Lmao, Silent Hill 2 is the same

  • @UltraPenguinx3 Very true... I still love the game though... So screeew youu MAAN! Haha

  • @halfhigh he do you know the name of the music at the beggining please tell me

  • @jassir1316 it's called 'saber's edge' it's the boss battle theme

  • @halfhigh who said i dont like ff7? D: its one of my favorites XD

  • @UltraPenguinx3

    Why do you care if its overrated ??

    its an awesome game after all

    favourite to many

    this word "overrated" became really annoying and stupid

  • @Azureflame14 i know its a great game but people are going to compare future final fantasies to 7 and say they suck.

  • @UltraPenguinx3

    those people are stupid lol

  • @UltraPenguinx3 final fantasy 7 was a amazing I dont see any flaws in that game

  • @ObsceneOutcast ugh, really?

  • Fuck Microsoft! Why they just buy in english version on Xbox 360!? They ruined the game by retarded english voice acting.

    Just damn make an add on for xbox 360 to upgrade it for JP voice, just like what Naruto games did on it!

    Damn sad, I'm Ps3 fan boy who only can own Xbox 360.

  • @FXIX That's why I shall never buy an xbox.

  • @wreyes456 I had no choice for Halo 3, and Mass effect at that time.... lol

  • @FXIX The voice acting is great except for vanilles! You are just biased!

  • lol I miss looking at the character status and seeing what level they were at like

    Squall Lv.100

    HP- 9999/9999

  • *sigh* Remember when Final Fantasy games contained -nonhuman party members-? Seems they've heavily phased that out over the course of the recent games. Meh.

  • @WanderingWyrm Umaro was my favorite, in fact, I liked red XIII, and Kimahri. I see what you are saying though, thye really havent been putting them in games nowadays. I used to think that at least one beast character would complete a party back when I first played final fantasy

  • @WanderingWyrm exactly what I've been thinking, I liked characters like Freya and whatnot

  • @WanderingWyrm yea....the good old days. (thinks of ff7 and 9)

  • hmm i have this game and its awesome. graphics are the best ever. but anyways, i wish they had a final fantasy game with a good storyline where u create your character and has the ff13 and ff dissidia combat system together: control your character like dissidia battles, except with two party members, like ff13 :] oh to dream...

  • @95langy well they did say that ff versus 13 is going to have a more kingdom hearts style battle system if thats kinda towards what your looking for :)

  • @RP88888 I'd perfer the Dissida battle system, where you can customize your own abilities. but it doesnt matter. both KH and Dissidia battle systems are awesome :)

  • final fantasy 8 is my favorite too bad its on ps1.

  • @DavidFrancisQ mine to i still occasionaly bust out the ps1

    wish they could remake 7 and 8 for ps3 and/or 360

  • @xXResidentEvilrulzXx i wouldn't call them remakes but final fantasy 7,8, and 9 is on playstation network for download

  • FF13 is alright... nothing CRAZY though.

  • no pongais anuncios hijos de perra!!!!!

  • its so bad...just remake final fantasy 7,8, and 9 only good play-station ff's

    along with dissidia. least the battle systems arent complete shit

  • I got to play it for like 2 hours and then my brother said I couldn't play anymore... I thought only an hour has passed and I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. The graphics are amazing and the plot is awesome, not to mention the gameplay which is a 12 out of 10. That's how good the game is. :)

  • OMG THIS LOOKS SO GOOD!

  • @DontPushIt0 for the first 27 hours you play it its extremly boring but once you get into it its ok.

  • okay, I'm gonna go crazy for this game... but, I'll just have to wait 6 months or so just to play it... I'll be waiting...

  • medic.....playing battlefield?...sounds like shit

    why dont use japanese version

    healer is better

  • P.S im not racist or anything but if you find this offense then im sorry but around 1:39 Sazh look like "O S**T There are some cops on my tail" like i said Before if its offense to you im sorry

  • im getting a PS3 and final fantasy 13 on April 9 and this is the order i was thinking on gettin some games 1st final fantasy 13 (of course) 2nd Call of duty so i can play online with friends 3rd Tekken 6 so i can play that and regain my rightful title for best gamer of my house 4th God of War cuz i never play it before and i really want to try it out

  • FUUUUUUCK

    i really wish i had a ps3 right now...

  • @Tartersauce101

    It's on the 360 too.

  • i would have played all final fantasy games if it havent been for that boring combat system. should have been more like in the Kingdom hearts series

  • I love this game so far! I think the battle system is pretty good. It's not too hard to get the hang of either. For some reason I couldn't grasp the idea of FF12's battle system and didn't like the game...

    My favorite FFs are 6, 8, 9, 10, and even 10-2. I also think this one will quickly come to the top of my list also.

  • this could easily be named railroad fantasy 13, everything is so linear, no minigames, no secret eidolons, (most are stupid) and the battle system is not that great 12 exceeds over this one

  • While I thought FF12 had a crap story, I found the battle system extremely well done. The characters where also very interesting in my opinion. Now I'm not a huge FF fan but the ones I have played I have enjoyed very much with my personal favorite being FF7. The thing I loved about FF12's battle system was much control you have over every character. You could build each character however you wanted to. But it looks like FF13 takes all that out and opting for a more streamlined approach.

  • A lot of people say that, but I thought the story was quite good. I think the biggest problem with the story is that it was poorly segued with the gameplay, but whatever.

  • I've played final fantasy 6,7,8,9,10, and 12. I havent finished final fantasy 13 but so far so good, i'm loving it so far. Could be my favorite final fantasy yet!

  • you still need to play 4 and 5 then. don't know what your missing haha.

  • @R0ckerNinja I have played Final Fantasy since the beginning in the NES days. My favorite Final Fantasies(honestly) are 5, 6, and 7. 8 and 9 were good also. 10 and 12 sucked ASS. I swear, Square really has been struggling since they joined with Enix. 13 is finally a good Square Enix game.

  • @R0ckerNinja 13 and 9 and 2 is now my new fav :D

  • @R0ckerNinja same here. FFXIII was just AMAZING to me. At first I was denying that it was my very favorite FF, but I got over my nostalgia from other games and realized that FFXIII was unbelievably amazing

  • @R0ckerNinja you know I respect you true gamers, despite what everyone says, you say that this "could be your favorite final fantasy yet!"

    I really need to forget those bad reviewers because I thought puyo pop was a boring game and I got hooked on that so yeah...

    this makes me want to buy FFXIII so bad now! Thank you!!

  • @R0ckerNinja yeah good for you for not playing eleven my friend has been playing it for like 3 years lol he keeps saying hes never going to play it again though, i cant wait to get this though the new combat looks awesome

  • @R0ckerNinja don't know how this one might be your favorite. I wanted to know what set it apart from other others. Please keep in mind i'm not here to argue or anything of that sort I just want your opinion.

  • @R0ckerNinja Im not sure that I liked final fantasy 13 better than 10.

  • I like all of them but this one is my fav it feels like something new only concern i got about the whole series tis the having to overdouse on potions that i cant afford but i find ways thourgh but other than that i love all final fabtasy espically this one

  • is there a new game+ after you beat it?

  • This game is the best and I'm a fps person....love how the battle system works didn't understand it at first but once you get it... It's so fun....

  • True 7 did have some good points including the being the first video game to make me cry for a reason other than poor quality but 6 you don't just stop the madman from destroying the world you fail and then go back and stop him from killing everything.
