Convince me that FFXIII doesn't suck.

Okay so I've been doing some research online and have to ask... are SE actually pulling this shit? Seriously?

Spoiler: Move your mouse over the container to reveal.

So the game essentially ends in "To be continued", the domain FF13-3 was recently registered to "protect their IP", and they're releasing storyline based DLC?

I went ahead and spoiled myself as well. I'm not surprised at the least. Given the amount of money spent on developing a game this gives them the ability to cut down on cost while being able to give gamers on going content.

With the "official ending" being what it is, it appears that SE believed that the game is/was going to be successful enough to warrant another sequel.  Other than the
Spoiler: Move your mouse over the container to reveal.
to be continued
part I rather like the games official ending. It's not a happy ending in the least and IMO gives the story more weight than it would have had otherwise.

But at the same time the storyline/ending does not answer the question that SE said it would, regarding whether or not Lightning is happy. Despite promises to the contrary the game really doesn't add much developement to Lightning's character. You only get to play as her in the very opening and the rest of the game you control two completely different characters.

This IMO shows SE's biggest problem, their retard sandwhich logic: "The fans have spoken, they want more Lightning"..."So here's what we'll do, we'll make a sequal to where you don't get to really use her for 99.99% of the game"..."Fucking brilliant"..."So fuck you FF fans you know you'll be givening us your money"..."I'm hungry"..."Carl's Jr. Fuck you I'm eating".

For the record I don't know whether or not there are any Car'l's Jr restaurants in Japan but this is my story and I'm sticking to it.

As of right now I'd say it's going to largely depend apon how this game does in all the other territories outside of Japan as to whether or not we'll be getting a FF13-3.

I really hope we don't have one. I'd be saddened to know that there are fanboys out there who would honestly spend even more money on this.

What a Tedious fight!



Origa track is the best one so far. The rest of the soundtrack is a turd sandwich.

I also hope this game bombs. We really don't need three XIII games...

SE: Keep Versus on hold, we got a goldmine here! Keep pumping out the sequels!

Versus-XIII slated for a 2027 release date, afer the release of XIII-13.

Brilliant and sadly true.

Is it technically a bump or a necro if the last post was two months ago?  I'm going to classify it as a bump.

So, my brother and I have been ~*~bonding~*~/~*~getting to know one another~*~ for the past few months, which means a lot of brother sister video game time.  He finally got a PS3 recently and we've been catching up on everything we missed, including FF13, which so far is just not that bad.  We're still well within the tutorial period, so I don't know what nightmares may be still to come, but so far it's totally fun and gorgeous and I don't even mind the character design that much.  (Except Vanille, who kinda makes me want to die when she's on screen.)  

Is the shitty script smackdown just around the corner?  I expected to be so appalled by it that maybe my expectations were just low enough to actually enjoy the whole thing.

Except for the fact that you only really control one party member.  That's shitty.

Just beat this game the other day. It does suck. Talk about a slave driving grind abandoning 99% of what made FF fun. Can put chocobo's on shit and call it pancakes... or whatever.

The main game wasn't too bad, but the hunt grinding killed my enjoyment.  At some point I just said 'fuck it', gave up on the sidquests, and beat the game in like 20 minutes.  Yay.
