Can't wait to max out final fantasy 13 on my rear end in a top hat pc, how about you guys

I never played the sequels but I'll probably buy those too based purely on the novelty of them being pc versions

once you get to gran pulse FF13 is actually a relatively cool and fun game. 13-2 is pretty good the whole way through.

i think i'll pass on ff13 and all its sequels. my life will not intersect with ff13 and all its sequels. when i am on my deathbed and my life flashes before me, i will not see ff13 and all its sequels.

Considering the amount of times I've seen imps talk poo poo about mmo hmo saying "it gets good once you're 40 hours in!" this sentence completely boggles my mind. It's okay to say an FF game goes from awful to mediocre/decent only 20-30 in hours somehow.

And the story is still so fuckawful it hurts. Lightning is such a bad character and most of the support cast is as bad or worse (Snow, Vanille).

he is, but it's intentional to point out how bad the "lol guys im the hero" archetype is. the game directly tells you this, and yet people still don't get it.

i got lightning returns from a gamefly sala and its real weird. i cant tell if its good or not yet.

i liked that the characters are all dealing with the bad situations and a large part of who they are is how they respond to being put in that, its very overt simple characterization that works well imo :)

lightning shuts herself away and becomes a different person
hope blames other people
sazh nearly gives up completely
snow puts up a brave front and thinks about others
vanille forces a smile no matter what

Moms in FF games are tough because they never have saggy tits or stretch marks which are the bane of everyone's existence with a vagina

sazh is an extremely epic character

anyway, ff13 is actually pretty okay before you get to gran pulse, it's just that is where you really get to see the best part of the game. i know it has become a meme to act like 13 is the worst game ever because it is linear, but so is ff10 and i don't see people complain about that as much.

only having 2 character parties for most of the story is really annoying, i dont care about linearity

tho its pretty cool once you get 3 and realize youve developed all these strategies for dealing with different types on monsters with only two people and now have a 3rd to do whatever the hell you want with

mostly i had one guy was a commando and one guy was a ravager and eventually the monster got stunned and they did a lot of damage then

linearity is not a problem as long as you mix in some puzzles in there to break up the monotony of combat. that is my issue with the recent Tales of games as well.

ffx looks quite bad to me as well, but maybe that's because i never played ff games when i was young so now my unattuned eyes just tell me "this is all so boring and cringeworthy"

conversely i can still play bioware games just fine~~

i agree, with both of these statements. the battle system, which is fairly win, is designed around 3 people. i liked how it was about being flexible and responding to situations.

its cool to juggle really giant enemies and also sometimes you can juggle them so long that they leave and reenter stagger before landing
