I hope it's exactly the same as FFXIII with a better narrative. I think XIII suffered from having so much detail in the codex (or whatever they called it) and leaving so much out of the actual cutscenes. The battle system was the best in the series, as was the general level of difficulty.

I hope towns are still absent. **** towns.

Towns are a big deal and it is a reason why FFXIII flopped. After being "on the road" for a while, People want to go into a place with nice music, chat with some NPCs, rest at the inn, buy some armor/weapons, stock up on X-Potions. That is what Final Fantasy is all about. FFXIII lacked that experience so if FFXIII-2 fixes this, great.

Will Sazh be in this game?

I think they sold enough to not be considered a flop.

wow, way to absolutely miss the point entirely. The fact is that it's an absolutely amazing and involved experience.


I didn't really miss the point entirely. Clock Town isn't that much different from your average town except for the fact that the NPCs are sometimes in different places in order to trigger certain events. I did like the fact that things did change, but it wasn't really the selling point of the game for me.

Looks great to me. Lack of Serah after all the promo trailers was one of the major disappointments of FFXIII for me, so having her as the main character is awesome. She's probably the 2nd best FF girl after Rikku.

And adding towns? Theres no way it can't be good

Really don't understand anti-hype.

If people aren't going to like the game, whatever, no game is universally liked.

But it's weird when people hover around after saying they're not going to like it.

Hanging around when you like it makes sense, the opposite is weird.

Flopped critically and reception wise, at least. I think its easily the least liked 3D FF.

Dude. I came in here and said a single line. I had no intentions of saying anything else until just a few seconds ago when I actually said something technically positive about the game -- its sales were far from a flop.

I came in, said one line about the trailers and planned on leaving it at that unless something came up that prompted me to keep talking. I could have listed all the things wrong with those trailers but I chose not to.

I wouldn't say it flopped critically either. Reception-wise, though, it probably is the least-liked 3D FF overall.

Yes, because I didn't read the second page of this thread (only the first and third) and from that angle it looked like you were speaking with Granzon and I.

Indeed. I think once the next one drops we'll know for sure. It's always a bit murky right after/during an installment's release. XII is getting a bit of a positive flow now and XIII probably will later on. Just depends on how much is involved either way.

I thought XII and XIII were both fun. They weren't amazing, but I had fun.

I'd give the edge to XIII because it inspired me to do a challenge run.

I'd give edge to FF12. Characters and story were a little below 13, but I'm a big fan of non linearity, sidequests, all kinds of fun stuff to do while playing the game, and 12 really delivered there. Just going by the main game and ignoring sidequests though, I'd give 13 the edge.

I'll agree they were both fun. XII wins pretty handily for me but I'll never say anything bad about XIII's battle system. Although I... still prefer XII's.

Either way, yes. Both were fun enough. I don't regret either purchase.

The only sidequests I did for XII were getting some of the rare weapons, and that's really the only thing available for sidequests in XIII, so that's a wash for me.

I loved all of XII's sidequests too, Albion, although I tend to prefer a more cohesive narrative in games that are going to try for such things.

Story and character maybe. Gameplay is a watered down version of gambits.

Sometimes I wonder if people are just doing a glass half full/glass half empty thing.

Like, the half empty people are yelling "It's halfway to being freaking empty! That is below what i expect from a FF!"

And the half full people are yelling "It's half full! It's not close to the best in the series but it's not horrible either!"

And they agree generally how good the game is, but the fact that they disagree on how look at it the yelling continues.
