Cake Attack posted:If you watch the trailer your partner's on the bottom screen and all the two character control stuff (Shiki's ESP cards, etc.) are gone. Personally, I'm betting your partner is an AI fighter now. I'm actually OK with this, it was impossible to control both screens at once. The best you could do was mash the d-pad and hope for the best.

Cardboard Fox posted:Is Lightning actually a popular character with the fans back home or something? It seems they're putting her in every new game they release. Do people actually think she's a good character? I mean, I've known grapefruits with more personality. It doesn't matter, SE wanted to have 10 years of XIII even before they were done making the first game.

Pokey used to just be an rear end in a top hat that lived next door, now he's an evil overlord that has killed countless people. It's like finding out Gary Oak became Hitler. This should be called "pulling a Chrono Cross."

Ross posted:I agree re: the story of FF Tactics. It is a good one but they sort of start you in the middle and it takes a while (or a couple play-throughs) to figure out who is who on whose side and how they are related to various other characters and who is backstabbing who. It's like Game of Thrones, but fun!

I can't even put my finger on exactly why it hurts but it sounds so unnatural. I liked Vanille's voice five bazillion times more than Lightning's. Why does she always have to sound the same, dear God.

That loving Sned posted:Could you please explain the game's plot, without referencing the Final Fantasy Wiki? I'll admit beforehand that I didn't get half of the stuff they were throwing at me, but here it goes: At the end of XIII, Lightning and crew were supposed to be turned into Cieth, but the goddess intervened and saved them in the end. This, for some reason, broke the timeline, creating endless paradoxes at every point in time. Lightning got sucked into Valhalla, which I guess is the equivalent of the End of Time from CT, except that the goddess is supposed to live there. She finds out that Caius wants to destroy the timeline/the goddess/bring down Cocoon, so she sends Noel to find Serah so they can both stop him. Fastforward to the end of the game, Caius wanted to destroy everything so that Yeul would stop dying for five minutes. Or maybe because he wanted Noel to finally kill him and take his place. But that also meant that the goddess would die because... yeah. I don't know. All I know is that half of the game's plot would be solved in two minutes if people would stop insisting on keeping Cocoon afloat and just lived on the ground. So maybe I understood way less than I thought I did at first. Still, it was good to have a proper RPG with XIII's battle system, that's why I mainly liked the game, honestly. Serah's outfit is no worse than most JRPG heroine's, unless you bought some of her DLC ones. I never felt overpowered, and I did run out of wild artifacts when I needed those cores. I just used a guide at that point because I couldn't even find the cores once I could open enough gates. My only complain would be that every "alternate" zone is virtually the same. They could've tried to make them way more different from each other, like the three Academia's. Other than that, it's fun.

That loving Sned posted:The initial screenshots of FFXIII suggested that you'd add commands to the ATB, and they'd be continuously carried out by Lightning, like in The Sims. I have to say that locking the entire FFXIII cast in a bathroom and then removing the doors would've improved the game tremendously.

PhilippAchtel posted:X has the best party dynamic of any of the games in the series. Each character has an important role to play in both the story and in battle. They all have their own compelling back story, and each works to drive the story forward in their own way. X really has an organic feeling that grows out of the differences and perspectives of each of the main seven. Lulu and Blue XIII were completely worthless, storywise. They were only there to appease the teenage boys demographic... and furries I guess.

1st AD posted:Square is so loving retarded sometimes it's infuriating. Why don't they just license somebody's engine and save a buttload of time and money on development? Every time there's a new platform coming they seem to sink so many resources into a proprietary engine that nobody else ever uses. You know, if you bother to make a fancy new engine, you could at least try to use it for more than two games total (XIII and XIII-2). But nope! Way to go, Squeenix.
