So, you hope that a franchise dies because you did not like some installments and did not even bother to inform yourself about the quality of the one you hoped had bad sales.
Why? Why with this installment and not with the far worse one: FF X? Do you just jump on the bandwagon that hates every direct sequel to a FF game without any logical reason?
Not really. There's no banwagon about this. I didn't give Final Fantasy 13-2 a chance because it didn't deserve 1, why buy a sequal to something you have no interest in. I can understand if you might've liked Final Fantasy 13 but I really can't understand why people can like it over any other game in the series.
But even without comparing Final Fantasy 13 to any of the other games in the series it is simply a bad game.
Hard to follow story that's not interesting anyway, baddly made maps which are nothing but long worm holes of endless running in 1 direction without anything to do in them. Poor combat.
With exception to the summon battles every battle in the game is Press circle twice before a blue bar fills up and press L1 to heal and even the most randomly obscure random encounters take quite a long time. The only reason I got as far as I did in that game was because I had a turbo controler to fight the random battles for me.
Yes I've been told there's more to the battle system then that but this game gave me no motivation to care.
I actually got irritated when the random battles ended cuz I had to put my DS down and stop playing Pokemon to continue walking down those long endless halls because they curved slightly to the right or left just enough for me to be unable to multitask them.
Then there are the forgettable characters that you're not allowed to be interested in. Who were those people at the beginning of the game? Who cares cuz you never see them again. Who was that bad guy that was chasing you? Who cares because before you get to know him he dies and you never fight him but some random helicopter instead....cool I guess. Who was that lady that seemed kind of interesting that stole afro comic relief's son? Who cares, she died before you get to fight her too and you end up fighting some old guy who they just introduced...but then you kill him so he must not have been important either...
Honestly no one would know who the Turks were if they followed the same storytelling as Final Fantasy 13. I mean what the heck is the plot anyway, hehe! ^_^ Everyone relies on giant Sha'tar to do everything but the main characters got to close to one and got marked with a tran-stamp that will eventually turn them into zombies.
That storyline is ok but in my opinion they told the story so poorly that with such boring gameplay that I lost interest in the story and started skipping cut scenes cuz the option existed.
And that's the whole game. There's nothing more to it then that, I heard near the last chapter you can revist places you've already been but who cares. Everywhere I previously was were the same long boring worm tunnels.
That's why I hate Final Fantasy 13. It was just a bad game. ^_^ Hehe, and even trying to be interested in Final Fantasy 13-2 is like saying. "Well I didn't care for Hunger Games, maybe I'll like Catching Fire for no reason." No, that's dumb. If I don't care about the first game I'm not going to be interested in it's sequal.
When Final Fantasy 14 comes....
Excuse me. when Final Fantasy 15 comes out, maybe I'll give the series another shot. I definitly wont buy it on launch day. I'm going to research it until either my interest for the game is gone or I'm convinced it's at least worth playing.
Which (while may or may not be good per-say) were at least worth playing. Final Fantasy 11, 13, 13-2, 14, and any Crystal Chronicle Game after Crystal Chronicles WERE NOT.
^_^ If you actually read this far than bravo sir.
