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. -- http://soundcloud.com/thundersheep/lunatic-asylum http://soundcloud.com/thundersheep/summer-rain ... Copied to Clipboard!

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.

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

From: GuessMyUserName | #092 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. -- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png ...

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 -- http://i54.tinypic.com/2yziu0o.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

this actually looks pretty decent. Looks like the story will be key, the gameplay is being revamped. This might be the first decent square project in years.

From: LeonhartFour | #123 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. -- "Mr. Paris, I assume you've had a great deal of experience being rejected by women." ~SCP~ http://img.imgcake.com/Jeffzeropngus.png ...

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

FateStayAlbion 09/21/11 7:33:00 PM #127: |
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.

From: Leebo86 | #126 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. -- "Mr. Paris, I assume you've had a great deal of experience being rejected by women." ~SCP~ http://img.imgcake.com/Jeffzeropngus.png ...

Leebo86 09/21/11 7:34:00 PM #129: |
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.

I'll take XIII pretty easily over XII, personally. Big open "explorable" worlds don't really do anything for me. XIII beats it in characters, story, and gameplay as a whole.

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. -- Connecticut Huskies ... Copied to Clipboard!
