Load Comments This is the same for many of Final Fantasy 13 's characters, like Snow, Saaz, and Hope, who each held enough fan appreciation at release to warrant their continued use in future titles in the trilogy.
However, the responses to the gameplay likely didn't help keep the game relevant, and as a result kept the characters from really taking off with the same type of iconic flare as other series favorites like Cloud and Sephiroth. At release, players were so excited by the prospect of the highly anticipated Final Fantasy 13 finally coming out that many fans burned through the game in a blind rush, quickly taking in everything the game had to offer.
It wasn't until looking back on the game, or during the grindy side quest segment that takes place right before the final dungeon that the flaws of the game became more apparent. From there, one critique came out on top of all of the others, with many players comparing the incredibly linear world to a series of hallways with fights littered around them.
Future games in the Final Fantasy 13 trilogy eventually addressed these issues, as well as retuning the paradigm combat mechanic to make each playable character feel much more useful.
However, as the story introduced the dreaded time travel plot device and randomly killed protagonists in ways that didn't even follow the series' established rules of magic, players felt bogged down by a convoluted narrative.
This led to a one-off title eventually turning into a legendarily criticized series where Lightning goes from fighting a god who wants to destroy and recrate the world into becoming a JRPG archangel who again fights a god with the same motivation as the last one. While Lightning Returns , with its completely reworked combat system and Dead Rising -style time mechanics, wasn't the most well regarded departure for the series, it did open the door for the character to become a solo icon.
Lightning would eventually grow to idol status in Japan and had a brief moment of fame after the release of her solo outing, but the overall reception of the game still keeps her from rising to the heights of other Final Fantasy characters. It's an unfortunate situation that the character finds herself in, since she came out into the series as a total action hero and was eventually given some of her most emotional moments in a game where she was supposed to be emotionally held back.
The aftermath of Lightning Returns , however, led to Lightning becoming a fashion model , and it seems like Square Enix has since leaned into the character's attractiveness as opposed to her other strengths. They can give COD a high score and every game is the same thing over and over again. At least with FF13 series, they tried something new and not the repetitive recipe from other games from the series. Plus each game plays a bit different. Just picked it up as soon as gamestop opened!
Downloading my dlc outfits as I type, I may have a massive heart attack! Instead I get a 3rd entry where even Lightning returns FFXIII because it is just that bad of a story line that they had to make a game about her doing it.
Also really happy this game has released today, because it means square can finally move on from this blemish on the FF series.
Hi, Mat, I want to tell you that the Square store fixed their earlier problems and I was able to pre-order the CE after all. I am sure they will come out with most of those games in HD. It just sound mean and insensitive to those who actually enjoyed the series. Whether you agree or not! FFXV is already locked in with an action based combat system, so no hope there. Just waiting for my collectors edition…. Yet you seem to think your opinion of the entire XIII series is worth squat.
That says that the minority liked the changes in the series, while the majority did not. Might want to check your facts before you blast someone for their opinion. I suspect that this one will sell even less due to the fact that the main complaint was never addressed: the lack of traditional turn-based combat.
I pre-ordered and did all of the extra stuff for the bonus outfits. Those are global sales of all consoles. Bo de Vries Community Lead, Guerrilla. Grace Orlady Sr. Community Manager, Santa Monica Studio. Victoria Tran Community Director, Innersloth.
