It doesn't matter how the plot is because 13 and 13-2 are irredeemably boring. Plus they don't really matter much ultimately anywah

That being said it is also very stupid, yes

I remember hearing that Bravely Second is going to have a different music composer. Is this true? If so that's a shame, because Bravely Default had some really great music that compensated a lot for its weaknesses.

God, I hope so. There better be FFXV-brand McDonald's pit stops as save points. Even right before the final boss, there should be one last place to pick up a pack of McNuggets and an apple pie.

This I would like to see. I want to see over designed McDonald-esque building and waitresses/waiters on roller blades bringing the meal to your car.

There could be one really buff, like Arnie buff, waiter with the most sexualised costume who seems to be at every stop trying to hit on one of your guys or thinks you're a famous boy band or something and the reason why he works there is cause he's loved the brand ever since he was a kid. He can also drop hints about where to find rare items or catch up on the latest gossip etc.

Food on the menu could like the Choco-Mac, Mog-Fries, ether-shake etc... Could replenish health and other limited time buffs, whilst you eat the party would make little comments about it.

Oh oh oh and collecting all the Happy-chocobo toys could be a side quest that unlocks some absurdly good but ugly (due to corporate branding) equipment or weapon.

I'm still for changing the designs so they don't look like a boy band though. As if you place the main character off centre you wouldn't know who it was.

Supercell Ryo. Apparently he loved the hell out of the first game and even maxed out the characters. He has some cool ideas for the game's music but I have yet to hear it personally. Maybe someone who has played the demo can chime in. I do know he wanted to shorten the inn sleep music considerably.

Screw that, make them more like Japanese pop bands and base them on AKB48 so I can have 48 characters in battle at a time out of a pool of 140.

Bravely Default Battle Theme vs. Bravely Second Battle Theme.

Bravely Default Asterisk Boss Theme vs. (the presumed, since all the times it played in the demo was against Asterisk holders, but the "normal" boss at the end of the demo just played the normal random encounter theme) Bravely Second Asterisk Boss Theme.

I thought XIII's plot wasn't stupid at all, just that it took en-medias res wayyyy too far and left a bunch of explanations in the datalog/codex. I haven't beaten XIII-2 but I heard it's stupid but in a goofy fun way, so whatever.

Few RPGs manage to be quite as much the worst as Xenosaga, and it really goes the distance in that regard.

But yeah, now all we need is the reverse of this video: FFV / VI with current-gen graphics.

I haven't played that, and I imagine nearly a hundred Android games beg to differ, but my worst RPG ever has to be Ever Grace. Just unplayable, hilarious graphics, whatever story...

Basically they over-franchised the gently caress out of Final Fantasy XIII. People kept asking for more VII and they did stuff like Dirge and the cellphone games and the vita game, and they decided to go ahead and make their next FF into a huge multi-game FF, but the core game of XIII is pretty weak.

Final Fantasy XI and XIV are both really great and very beautiful MMORPGs that have almost nothing to do with any other FF and only a little to do with each other (Although most FFs have nothing to do with each other)

XII is actually underrated. XIII sucks hard. XIII-2 probably sucks but a little less. XIII-3 (Known as Lightning Retuns because Square has ADD now and can't stick to a naming scheme longer than 2) is apparently decent.

This neatly sums up how I feel about a decade of games, holy poo poo

It's so weird seeing a regular NPC for the first time as well as them driving through a populated town. Everything they've shown up to now has just been cutscenes, battles, and wandering around the open world.

both of the games are old, and the people debating fiercely over them are either old or are teenagers that like playing old games because they think it makes them cooler and smarter than their peers
