Where is XIII.

woops. after 8 IMO. i think 13-2 and 13-3 perfected the formula, i didnt really enjoy a single fight in 13 up until like the freaky smt style pope guy.

i dont like x but i like the optional stuff, in theory. in practise its too grindy though but its cool that it had bosses that were so deep in the game u needed 255 in every stat to beat them. and the dark aeons and stuff which im not sure american people got

People seem to like XIII-2 a lot more than XIII but personally its my least favorite of the three. They moved to a more open structure and made the combat stone cold easy because a lot of people couldnt wrap their heads around XIII. You can raise monsters to fight for you and theres a lot more stuff to explore in XIII-2 but the original has much better difficulty and design, even if it is pretty slow ramp. Story wise none of it matters because each game has a pretty self contained story with characters that just cross over as needed

i hate to be the one to say it since im such a fan of good gameplay but IMO theres more that goes into a game than just gameplay. 13 also had a mandatory grind it in it (unforgivable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Mandatory grind? Which part?

when u first get to gran pulse (think thats what its called). at least thats how it was in my game because it was literally impossible to beat the story fights or any of the optional stuff at that point without grinding and every enemy i actually could beat was taking 30 minutes.

Hmm when I first got to gran pulse everything was kicking my rear end so I figured I had to just do it later so I went directly to the story path and didn't have a problem with that stuff

TBH most fights were taking 10+ minutes even before beating the robot pope guy. i wasnt playing badly either, i have the lightning returns plat and most of the 13-2 trophies so its not like i dont understand the system. i personally like to keep my levels low in RPGs but since 13 is so linear i probably wasnt particularly underlevelled in it either

yea the game even grades you on how fast you beat fights, theyre supposed to be fast

duno. the boss fights seemed normal length but certain regular fights just took ages. and theres that section with sazh + vanille vs the hoplite guys, those guys took like 5-10 minutes to beat too.

I like 8 cuz its crazy lol. 6 had an ensemble thing, 7 had an eco message (and a lot of the same apocalypse stuff as the other games), 8 was them trying a weird idea that didn't work. 9 figured out how to do normal rpg plot again, for the first time since 5. then they just kept doing weird poo poo that didnt work and generic plots for every game afterwards, imo

yea i love 8 too. but i mean like, in 8, it feels even more different to like 10 + 13 etrc because it literally just doesnt make sense in the last half. but its cool in its own way

FF8 is my least favorite because of the scaling enemies. It gets rid of the best part of JRPGS, the slow struggle of getting powrrful, and makes that a binary equipment selection that you do once and then never worry about again. About halfway through I just turned on no-enc and walked through the next 2 discs

i like it because its like a difficulty slider (more lvls = harder game). so if you play naturally the game gradually gets hardr and harder albeit being so easy to break u dont really notice unless you hold back a little

its also really hard to buy digitally because for some reason its considered a CERO-Z release which is the japanese ESRB rating for a porno game so you have to jump through multiple authentication hoops to purchase it currently

X-3 has existed as an audio drama/spin off book for a while and the story is fairly crazy. Tidus gets assasinated because someone replaces a blitzball with a bomb and since he cant resist kicking blitzballs he explodes in front of Yuna on a beach

Pre-ordered this loving game for Xbox because it apparently has a really decent HDR mode and I want to see what HDR looks like on my TV, it was $11 off on amazon prime with release day shipping, and I am a loving sucker for Final Fantasy games even in my advanced age of the early 30s.

Is this one of those games that is another lovely "coming of age" story centered around a bunch of teenagers so cringe worthy that I'll need to shroud the TV with a blanket while playing to prevent the girlfriend and other people over at the house saying poo poo like: "Dude wtf? You a pedo gay Japanese fag fuckboi? Why are you playing this poo poo?". Or is the story somewhat salvageable consisting of a slightly more mature cast this time around?

Apparently the characters are at least old enough to drive a loving car this time around so I really hope there are some slightly less childish drama elements in it that will prevent me from getting placed on a sexual predator watch list. Also, apparently the latter part of the game takes places 10-15 years after the first part too. Is that true?

SE should really consider targeting an older audience for their next Final Fantasy games having an older cast dealing with real problems instead of "How to cope with your first Jack Kerouac adventure across the country".

I cant quite find the words to express how much Ive enjoyed reading this reader's digest of a Games posters freudian nightmare of a soul.
