I liked what I played of X-2, but when I found out I had missed some stuff like dresspheres permanently I lost the desire to keep going, and restarting would be a chore. Yuna is alright.

MoaM posted:I think the narrative of "Tetsuya Nomura and Kazushige Nojima ruined the series" has merit, but it should be merged with: "Square-Eenix has had unrealistic sales expectations for their games since 2000". Plus, turn-based RPGs can only be innovated so many times; none of the games beyond FFX have been able to really outmatch its sphere grid and fast-paced battles. Lightning Returns, friend.

Sazh is the best character in all of Final Fantasy because he is just a normal, decent guy with problems and also a bird that lives in his hair.

Lightning Returns is easily the best of the three, but honestly I think 13-1 is better than 13-2. Though 13-2 has the best ending in all of video games.

How is Sazh an unlikable character? Also it feels like the side quest writers for Lightning Returns were totally different from the main quest writer (and they probably were). The side quests actually often deal with the whole theme of the last days before the end of the world and everyone being undying, and they are often interesting, while the main quest is just lunacy.

Hokuto posted:The guy literally complained that you can't see enemy HP totals when you get Libra right from the start of the game. He didn't know it existed, from what I could gather. I'm no ardent defender of FF13, but come on. More to the point, HP totals are even kind of irrelevant because like 90+% of the time their health bar is just the stagger meter. Edit: To be clear, I don't actually have a problem with this, and liked 13. chumbler fucked around with this message at 08:52 on Nov 17, 2016 |

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:The exploration is good if you care about that sort of thing(except when monsters pop into your range because of the poo poo draw distance). Combat is ok. The music and story are really bad. The story comment is understandable, but I can't forgive calling Xenoblade X's music bad. At any rate, I very much enjoyed Xenoblade X and most of what it was doing, but if you are a really main story focused person who likes your jrpgs to be as jrpg-y as possible, it's not going to be the game for you.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:You know I actually believed this until recently and then I played it again and the battle system is muuuuch worse than I remembered. Play the opening bit of 13-2 that has Lightning, watch a video of the boss fight where the correct solution is "Yell at Hope through time and space", play some chronobind, and watch the amazing ending on youtube. Do this with crazy chocobo on loop and you're really only missing out on some quality Liam O'Brien scenery chewing and moogle throwing. Then go straight to Lightning Returns because it's easily the best game of the three.

The plot of Lightning Returns is that the gods are morons and/or dicks and the world is ending and nothing can stop it so help tie up their loose ends and get on the reincarnation boat.

Mr. Fortitude posted:After sleeping on it, the core themes and message behind the XIII trilogy seem to be "Lightning is awesome, praise Lightning, the waifu of Motomu Toriyama!" and "Moms are tough!". You forgot "Sazh is too old for this poo poo."

8-Bit Scholar posted:I don't appreciate brainy Rikku taking a massive drop in IQ and being a ditzy bimbo who laughs while her semi-retarded brother propositions his cousin. All of FFX's characters kind of go to poo poo in FFX-2. Yuna just flat out telling someone their plan is stupid was good. Also Paine is alright. I also like that they actually made the generic job dresspheres have individualized alterations to their designs, from specific things like the swords the warrior class uses to the general image given off matching the character's personality.
