If you don't mind touch controls it's the best port since it doesn't suffer from slowdown like the PSP version. Or miss a translation riddled with spelling mistakes and errors I guess.

Has there been any English footage of the XII Remaster yet? Do we know if they were able to clean up the VO audio at all? Also, did the 10 remaster ever patch the random seed or music restarting bugs?

Anyone seen any particularly interesting vids of WoFF's combat system yet? All of the gameplay demos I've seen have just been people mashing Attack and it just looks ridiculously dull.

I played a demo of it a little while back, the voice files were unchanged. I dunno, maybe they hadn't gotten around to it yet but that seems really unlikely. Don't hold out hope.

Kinda tempted to pick up World of FF, but I'm curious about the difference between the Limited Edition and Day One Edition. Limited seems to have all the same stuff as day one, plus a free art book, and the price is the same. Am I missing something here? edit: -v Thanks!

If you're getting a physical copy, seems like Limited Edition is the way to go.

This past weekend I finished replaying FF13 and it's not a very good game. The two things it has going for it are that it's pretty and the combat system is fun (once you get access to all roles for everyone). The music is OK, but besides a few unique tracks most of it just blends into each other. The plot is just downright bad. Your party has no idea what they're doing the entire game and no means of accomplishing anything by their own accord. The idea is that Barthandelus wants to destroy Cocoon because he believes Bhunivelze (only referred to as the Maker) will come back if a shitload of humans die. Bart can't actively try to destroy Cocoon because I guess fal'cie can't actively harm one another? That's not well explained, except that ~it's their nature~. Honestly, Bart's plan would never have worked if not for Vanille lying to Fang about her focus and getting Dajh and Serah involved. There were no more humans on Pulse to become l'cie, and I guess if he knew about the Vestige in Bhodhum then he could lure more Cocoon denizens there and hope they become Pulse l'cie as well. And the ending, while pretty, also makes no sense. After spending the whole game going "nuh-uh, we won't attack Eden," the party does exactly that because reasons. They don't have anything backing them up except the empty words that they'll save Cocoon somehow. The whole thing is that the party presumably misinterpreted their focus not as destroying Cocoon, but crippling it so Fang and Vanille could turn to crystal and prop it up, but that didn't know that. They charged in blindly and things turned out OK entirely by luck. Overall the game just feels so lacking because it cut out all of the hallmarks of previous FF games. Being able to explore new towns, take breaks from the main story to go into the wild and find new dungeons, and also having NPCs to chat with throughout it all. It's all so disconnected because your shopping is all handled through save points and there are no towns, just more corridors everywhere. The whole being on the run plot for 70% of the game just isn't interesting and detracts from what makes RPGs fun to play in the first place.

I seem to recall a plot point of ff13 being that the space pope wanted the lightning gang to come to cocoon, and explicitly told them "my plan is for you to come to cocoon. I will win if you do this." And then lightning and the gang go to cocoon anyway for basically no reason at all. Why didn't lightning and friends stay on pulse? Can anyone explain this to me?

Because Bart specifically has a second plan going on to start a massive civil war that is going to kill a ton of people and they decide that trying to stop his plan is better than sitting on the sidelines and letting his Plan B go off without a hitch.

Oh yeah, while watching Artix's LP of Lightning Returns they brought up how the world used to have 26-hour days and the chaos screwed things up so you have a familiar 24-hour clock in-game. During my playthrough of FF13 I was keeping my eyes open for clocks, and sure enough, in the sequence where Sazh and Vanille escape from Nautilus you can look up and find a clocktower with 13 ticks around it.

Yeah, that was actually a thing throughout FF13, they loved the reoccurring 13 motif. To give FFXIII a very small amount of credit they are actually fairly good about being consistent with their weird internal mythology. They are just awful at explaining it. I imagine there's some poor bastard who has a comprehensive setting bible they spent months on and nobody cares about.

We just got out of the evil forest. She's more interested after the petrification scene and what not. I think she was just shocked by the tonal shift between 8 and 9. She got past the initial shot by just thinking of 9 as a storybook game. She saw the opening to 10 and was super excited to play that one because that game really does have a helluva opening cinematic. However, she wanted to try 9 first so we continue to improve in graphics than going to 10 and then 9.
