@xyzygy: I agree. I liked Lightning. Her brooding personality was a bit predictable, but overall she was strong. Vanille was the annoying one I was mentioning :)

@Hailinel: No, I'm not. I've not thrown any insults at you, or called you inferior. I've called the games inferior.

Why was FFXIII shitty? Or what games are you referring to?

As I've stated, I thought it was boring. 20 hours of linear hall following with predictable story, while not even giving you customization or open world options, is NOT a good way to keep someone interested in a game when they already were disappointed in XII.

@Hailinel: The "20 hour intro" is because it's all linear and they so incredibly slowly introduce the entire party and gameplay mechanics that it's almost crawling. Heck, we don't get new armor and weapons in the first 10 hours! And again, sure some people may like it, and I know I'm getting flak because I'm thinking a XIII-3 is a bit insane to do.

No, you're getting flak because your foisting your opinion on others as though it's objective fact. I personally found those first twenty hours entertaining, even when I wasn't allowed to access anything as simple as the equipment menu. And there's a very good reason for that. The game is designed in such a way that, until they open the menu to you, there is no need for the player to access it.

I think you are taking my opinion way too far. I have not said that people are dumb if they don't think like me. At the worst, I've said that their die hard fans refuse to think some of the games are bad when there are broken or weird game mechanics that make its enjoyability hard.

@xyzygy: "Spikey hair anime" as in the character art is ridiculous. Lightning and Vanille has pink hair.

Oh, and Vanille is an entirely new point of why XIII grated on me, haha. Can anyone say that they enjoyed her (or her voice)?

@xyzygy: Of course it's my opinion, but I'm far from the only one that feels the XIII games are... ok, at best. And the fact that Square is putting out another one when it's been known that they have cost a ton and aren't making the dividends that they want from them sort of blows my mind. I'm hoping that if XIII-3 sells even worse then Square can re-trace their steps and try something new beyond the spikey haired anime games with predictable stories.

@AuthenticM: XIII was crappy. 20 hour intro followed by open ended gameplay with a HUGE difficulty spike. And the voice acting was shit.

XIII-2 I will agree is better, but still nothing to write home about. At this point, FF games are for the hardcore fans that just won't leave the series alone because they are convinced they are still good. And Square is completely ok with this because they refuse to innovate or do anything that made the old games so great.

...yet there are no threads.

Discuss your favorite part of this game! I love the soundtrack.

Some day Square will find a way to stop making shitty games.
