That sounds like an odd viewpoint to take. The playstation 3 is cheaper than ever, and games will still be coming out for it for a few years. Who cares if it's technologically inferior if overall its a superior product and will remain as such for along time?geldonyetich said:
I find it hilarious that they tried to justify Lightning's nonexistent character as part of the plot of the third game. What's her excuse in FF13 and FF13-2 I wonder?Sticky said:

Typical ramblings of your run-of-the-mill hack. The guy could probably qualify for Japan's answer to idiots like David Cage, David Cox, and Antoniades. All them of being wannabe auteurs who think they're revolutionaries in story-telling but aren't really doing anything that hasn't been done before and BETTER. What's really funny is that it seems that all the designers going on about the story-telling are the least qualified to talk about it. Heck, the best stories seem to come from guys who treat it like their job instead of some pet project (like Yasumi Matsuno)Hixy said:
The answer is actually quite simple. They spent an ungodly number of years and who knows how much money building the engine and assets that went into making FFXIII. So to make as much of that money back as possible they just kept reusing everything they could in FFXIII sequels, rather than at least making a cursory attempt to make a new game using some of that stuff.Hixy said:
Well, just checked again, and he was fully banned, so I guess that more or less settles things. I am not angry, and it is really not in my character to be melodramatic, but I think you will agree that this is certainly for the best, as many people could be much more sensitive than me.sky14kemea said:
I think he's a repeat offender, actually. His mannerism is identical to another charming bloke who did the same thing back in early January. He even has the same modus operandi: flaming others in a Final Fantasy 13 topic.chrystallix said:
I almost forgot Toriyama was responsible for the writing in that shitstain of a game...gyrobot said:
Personally, I think it's an odd viewpoint that a product has a long lifetime ahead of it when its parent company has released what is intended to be a straight up replacement to it.mike1921 said:
Apperenly Bioware thinks otherwise. Check this out:Epidemic Magick said:
Oh yes she was. If you have seen polls from Japan, she's always in the top 3. Hell, even Bioware sees her as an opportunity to promote their products:blackrave said:

3rd Birthday is a spinoff game and a spiritual successor. It's not Parasite Eve 3.Thanatos2k said:
As a person who was tremendously fond of FF II on the SNES, I would say "no." That had a terrible translation, but the characters were still likeable and they said funny things, like: "You Spoony Bard!" and had warrior-monks who Sneezed when they attacked, and an English Ninja of all things. . . So, there is a difference between bad translation and bad writing. Alice Munro -recent Nobel Prize winner for Literature- could not have translated FFXIII into any kind of meaningful coherence because the source is the issue.Not G. Ivingname said:
