Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

Yeah, it seems a shame that this new game looks to be doing a bunch of good stuff but is getting overlooked for a remake of a shitty game.

Yet not surprising.

i played the demo and wow is this some silly shit

i can appreciate that. maybe i'll get it after all

And then they cry about how hard it is to succeed with console games and how iOS games more profitable, so they release "All the Bravest", a game that could appropriately described as "shitting on the biggest fans of the series".

wow a year ago

FFXIV: The New Version is a nice looking thing i wish i had the time for
FFXIII Versus is FFXV is real
And Lightning Returns is so stupid it might actually be good. If FFXV takes a journey to silius i might be able to get into that too...

as much as i hate Square-Enix recently, there are actually THREE SE games coming out this year that i'm looking forward to now, and only one of those has "Final Fantasy" in the name. I still don't like the new guy, but maybe FFXIV was really the plug that stopped up the works and this new era will bring some actually good stuff.

I like the XIII games. Obviously they are a radical departure from the old games, but you can get into a good flow with them. The battle system is good, etc.

I'll check this out at some point. I wish there was a XO/PS4/PC version though.

I would say I'm sure there will be, but I think they said they're done with that engine and none of the others have been ported to at least PC.

I played through the demo and found the battle system to be interesting, although I didn't completely get the hang of staggering enemies in that short experience. I liked the battle system of XIII a fair amount, I thought it was fun and worked well, and I'm still leery if this new system will measure up.

I hope it fails miserably. But it won't. And I'll be part of the problem.



Don't. Give. Them. Ideas.

VI is the best of the series, and it's made better by the fact that it hasn't been whored out ad nauseam. Aside from the revised text in the GBA port, Square Enix hasn't messed with perfection--a rare and respectable show of restraint. If you want to play VI, you can play it as it was meant to be played on any number of machines.

WHAT HAVE I DONE?!

Yeah I knew it was a matter of time until they tarnished the grail. What makes it even sadder is the amount of people I've seen defend that horrible Android port of the game. I'll bet you anything those are the same people that like Kingdom Hearts a little *too* much.

Also Homestuck.

Fucking Homestuck...
