FF13 rage quit post

[Jupsto]

I was posting a reply to the other final fantasy 13 thread when I started putting alot more rage into it than I anticipated and thought maybe its threadworthy;


I tried playing that shite game the other day, I trudged through the auto battle begining, hoping the game might get less incredibly dull when I learn a move other than "attack" and pherhaps something other than press auto battle and watch my character win its own battles becomes viable. Then when I did progress though the tacky cutscenes to playing some cliche metrosexual gang member and finally had a move other than "attack" I call "throw grenade 1 meter onto the floor", my guy died (ironically from a wolf biting him and not the 10 grenades I just recently detonated on myself) and then the game moved me back all the way to when I last saved it at the very beginning. You see square enix had this fantastic idea that to save the game you have to go to little computers in the maps and tell them to save. I asked myself: do I really want to put up with all that drab again just to see if this game does ever get somewhat decent? obviously the answer was no.

I tried playing it, 4 hours in and I don't know what is going on. The characters seem to know about the plot already because they keep talking about it. But they don't explain anything, they don't say how they know that Ragnarök was in fact the monster in the vision. Or earlier they just sort of kinda explain stuff as its happening. They don't go into any detail. Plus I think I hate all the characters. They are annoying.

This is coming from someone who LIKES jrpgs. Can someone explain this mess of a plot to me?

Graphics arn't everything. I've stopped playing after trying to fight some idiotic summon beast with 50+ arms that pounds me into the ground before I can get my guard up. If I do manage to get my guard up then it takes two rounds to pound me into the ground.

Final Fantasy 13 is the best Final Fantasy since the SNES days.

If I wanted to look at pretty pictures I'd read a pop up book. Gameplay has to come first in a Game.

I thought it was fun. Then again, give me a Chocobo and I'll be happy running in circles for an hour. And not circles like around the whole field, either - tiny, 1-metre in diameter circles.

If anything, let's talk about FFXI ragequitting. WHITE MAGES! Douchebags! Rarrrr.

Wait, Square Enix had the ridiculous idea of using save points? That's so stupid it's never been done in a game before! Ever! Why would someone do that?!?

[/sarcasm]

Point being, everyone's entitled to their opinions, but some are less founded in good reasoning than others. All I'll say.

It's explained more later. If you don't want to wait, read the logs; they'll explain it all to you.

I found it somewhat like one of my ex-girlfriends: pretty on the outside, but shallow and confused with severe daddy issues on the inside.

To be honest, this was the final (bad pun) nail in the coffin for me, I've been waiting for a good Final Fantasy since 9 (yes I liked 9, go away you vultures) and this just showed me that the path Square Enix is following with their games is one I don't want to follow. The narrative was one of the worse messes I've seen in the last few years, it was pretty disappointing. Back to Western RPGs for me.

I raged at the box robot things that summon 6 more robot fuckers to perform blitzkrieg on me.
I raged at that stupid car summon.
I raged at Vanielle's summon.
I raged at that flying bastard with two faces.
I raged at the Primach ****, second fight.
I RAGE AT HOPE ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

I didn't like Final Fantasy XIII that much either. I hate how if the person you are playing as dies the game ends. If one of the other characters in my party have a phoenix down why can't they use it on my character?

I can try that, but still as of right now this narrative sucks. I feel like there should have been more build up to a lot of the stuff that happened. I'm not hating though, I am probably gonna put it back in and take another crack at it. I am digging the battle system.

 

[FinalHeart95]

It was pretty good, I must say. Far better than FFXII and FFVIII at least. The story itself is actually really good, as is the combat, and (obviously) the graphics. How they tell the story is downright atrocious though. And Hope eventually shuts the fuck up, which is a nice change of pace.

 

[Dapper Ninja]

I managed to get through about eight hours of Final Fantasy XIII. I stopped when I realized that it was a fairly accurate simulation of my idea of purgatory.

Final Fantasy 13 is the best Final Fantasy since the SNES days.

Hahaha. You're funny.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

I got all the trophies in this game. ALL OF THEM. I can honestly say I don't even want to touch this game for at least five years. I appear to fall in the middle of the road on this game. It had its good points--especially some of the optional hunts, very face paced combat--but it also had its down points, such as the world itself felt very empty. I miss people.

I must, however, whole-heartedly disagree with those that say this is the best Final Fantasy since the old days. Better than XII, but I do not rank it higher than any of the others.

[/sarcasm]

Oh its been done before aons ago, but surely after the press start and select save, autosave and even CHECKPOINTS was invented you'd think we didn't have to be forced to replay an entire small section of the game. let alone a section which was basically me watching the ai fight for me.

maybe I will give it another go. I've never liked final fantasy games in the slightest, but the first ever and probably only hot girl I've met who plays games loves them. I'd probably rather be forced to watch twilight or something.

Amen!
