	COKTOE posted 09/09/2017, 01:18 A fantastic entry in the series, with it's main flaw being that it takes a very long time for the combat to reveal it's greatness. Makes FF VII look like a pile of oily rags. Set that shit on fire and give FF XIII a try. Before long, you'll be glad Aeris is dead. Message \| Report
	Dadrik posted 05/12/2016, 12:39 Combat was pretty aight, graphics were great, musics were godlike, game was pretty long, but the thing is that the game takes pretty much 25 hours to actually take off and feel like an actual FF game. And it still has meh characters and an average story. The game isn't THAT awful, but it's certainly painful to play at times, since we know it might end up be great, but we have to stick through hours of ultralinear gameplay before it finally gets interesting. FF X was very linear too at the beginning, but it at least made up for it with a great story and a shorter "intro", imo. Message \| Report

	Rob-Ot posted 09/02/2012, 04:28 @A-unlimited....by what I said I meant FFXIII-2 is so much better than XIII that it makes XIII look shameful Message \| Report
	A-unlimited posted 09/02/2012, 01:07 @ Rob-Ot, I don't think so. XIII bored me a lot and was far away from being a JRPG and ven far away from being a good game. XIII-2 has more variety with some miniquests, alternative places, riddles and other mini games. Even the story, which isn't that great, is better than it's predecessor. Just my opinion Message \| Report

	A203D posted 25/12/2011, 06:09 I think Skyrim's success can only be good for JRPGs, they will find success again on the shoulders of From Software, Monolith, Mistwalker, Namco and Level 5. with any luck FF15 will save the series from irrelevance. Message \| Report

	Heavenly_King posted 09/12/2011, 03:05 I think SE is doing XIII-2 because they didnt earn the money expected with the release of XIII. So they are using the same engine, adding things here and there; and will sell it for 60 bucks. Plus they will also release DLC. It is really sad Message \| Report

	Rob-Ot posted 25/11/2011, 11:51 I agree with A203D, it has it's moments and I don't dislike it as much as I used to but overall it's just not that great. XIII-2 looks more promising. Message \| Report
	A203D posted 22/11/2011, 06:34 It has its moments Chris-Jiang, but for some fans it was just a poorly written anime soap opera; rather than a spirtual successor to FF7 which is what was originally promised. Message \| Report

	MrMofongo624 posted 14/11/2011, 03:38 I agree with you ado3d. I think the next ff should have a better story, similiar combat system, amazing graphics as usual, non linearity, and much more exploration with different things to do. Message \| Report
	A203D posted 11/11/2011, 03:36 I know what Sqaure Enix are saying. they think adding 200 monsters to catch and train and multiple tree dialogues makes a game better. i think if people want monster training they will buy Pokemon, not FF, if they want multiple tree dialogues they would buy Mass Effect, not FF. the point is they havent actully fixed the poor dialogue of FF13, or the unrealistic characterisations. i think their creating more problems by trying to add things that dont need to be added while not improving on the things that were trutly bad in FF13, like the story.

	A203D posted 08/11/2011, 05:34 Well FF10 sold 8mil and 10-2, sold about 5mil, with that logic 13-2 should do about 4mil. but since i think it was very unpopular compared to FF10, i cant see it doing over 3mil. i can realistically see about 2.5-3mil. Message \| Report
	DakonBlackblade posted 07/11/2011, 06:12 I hope youre right, I realy do Id love to see XIII-2 d very well and sell like 4 mil + copies. Message \| Report
	The_Joker_Product posted 07/11/2011, 02:15 2 million....theres no way thats happening, thats not even a realistic number. This one sold over 2 million in EMEAA the new one isnt going to drop over 50% from that. Message \| Report
	DakonBlackblade posted 07/11/2011, 10:08 @ The_Joker_Product sorry dude but even me, beeing the FF entusiast that I am know XIII-2 wont sell anywhere near 4 millions, the preoders in Japan right now are "only" 600k less tham XIIIs preorders were at the same time from launch. XIII-2 will sell around 700-8000k on Japan, will probably not do very well on the USA were most of the XIII hatters are and sell another 800k or so on Europe for a total of about 2 mil. Thats how I see it going anywhay, Im buying 1 for sure. Message \| Report
	A203D posted 06/11/2011, 10:17 Not sure if 6.6 mil is right, Sqaure have said they only shipped 6.2 mil copies. Message \| Report
	The_Joker_Product posted 01/11/2011, 11:17 This one sold 6.6 million, the new one wont have much trouble selling over 4 million. It wasnt a hated game, it may not be FFVII or FFX but its user scores are fine, here its a 8.1, metacrtitic a 8.2, IGN a 8.6, Gamespot a 8.4. The new one looks to be an improvement it wont fail. Message \| Report
	A203D posted 28/10/2011, 06:08 I really dont think its selling 4mil copies. maybe 3mil, but new fans wont buy this game. all of the sales will have to come from people who bought FF13. and i'm willing to bet not many people even finished it. Message \| Report
	The_Joker_Product posted 26/10/2011, 09:53 1-2 million Worldwide? hell no itll sell 4 million at least with Xbox. Itll sell over 1 million in Japan alone. Message \| Report
	DakonBlackblade posted 26/10/2011, 04:13 @A203D I dont think Square is concerned about XIII-2 sales, they pretty much know it wont sell nearly as well as this game but they arent expecting it to, its a considerably low budget game, built upon a DLC that was planned for XIII using the same engine character etc etc as XIII. Itll probably sell aroound 1-2 million worldwide and Square will make a very hughe profit from it. Message \| Report

	A203D posted 06/10/2011, 04:52 Its probabily selling a few copies here and there. Square should do a White Knight Chronicles and put FF13 in free with FF13-2, to incentivise people who didnt get it to pick up 13-2. personally i don see people who didnt play FF13 getting 13-2 and i cant see many people who got FF13 queing up for 13-2.

	A-unlimited posted 09/02/2012, 01:07 @ Rob-Ot, I don't think so. XIII bored me a lot and was far away from being a JRPG and ven far away from being a good game. XIII-2 has more variety with some miniquests, alternative places, riddles and other mini games. Even the story, which isn't that great, is better than it's predecessor. Just my opinion Message \| Report

	A203D posted 12/01/2012, 04:55 Its not really easy to compare WRPGs and JRGs. but i think FF13 wasnt that good. havent played much of Skyrim yet. sales wise it will show how many people were unhappy with this when FF13-2 comes out. Skyrim, well the numbers speak for themselves. Message \| Report

	A203D posted 25/12/2011, 06:09 I think Skyrim's success can only be good for JRPGs, they will find success again on the shoulders of From Software, Monolith, Mistwalker, Namco and Level 5. with any luck FF15 will save the series from irrelevance. Message \| Report

	Rob-Ot posted 25/11/2011, 11:51 I agree with A203D, it has it's moments and I don't dislike it as much as I used to but overall it's just not that great. XIII-2 looks more promising. Message \| Report
	A203D posted 22/11/2011, 06:34 It has its moments Chris-Jiang, but for some fans it was just a poorly written anime soap opera; rather than a spirtual successor to FF7 which is what was originally promised. Message \| Report

	MrMofongo624 posted 14/11/2011, 03:38 I agree with you ado3d. I think the next ff should have a better story, similiar combat system, amazing graphics as usual, non linearity, and much more exploration with different things to do. Message \| Report
	A203D posted 11/11/2011, 03:36 I know what Sqaure Enix are saying. they think adding 200 monsters to catch and train and multiple tree dialogues makes a game better. i think if people want monster training they will buy Pokemon, not FF, if they want multiple tree dialogues they would buy Mass Effect, not FF. the point is they havent actully fixed the poor dialogue of FF13, or the unrealistic characterisations. i think their creating more problems by trying to add things that dont need to be added while not improving on the things that were trutly bad in FF13, like the story.

	DakonBlackblade posted 07/11/2011, 10:08 @ The_Joker_Product sorry dude but even me, beeing the FF entusiast that I am know XIII-2 wont sell anywhere near 4 millions, the preoders in Japan right now are "only" 600k less tham XIIIs preorders were at the same time from launch. XIII-2 will sell around 700-8000k on Japan, will probably not do very well on the USA were most of the XIII hatters are and sell another 800k or so on Europe for a total of about 2 mil. Thats how I see it going anywhay, Im buying 1 for sure. Message \| Report
	A203D posted 06/11/2011, 10:17 Not sure if 6.6 mil is right, Sqaure have said they only shipped 6.2 mil copies. Message \| Report
	The_Joker_Product posted 01/11/2011, 11:17 This one sold 6.6 million, the new one wont have much trouble selling over 4 million. It wasnt a hated game, it may not be FFVII or FFX but its user scores are fine, here its a 8.1, metacrtitic a 8.2, IGN a 8.6, Gamespot a 8.4. The new one looks to be an improvement it wont fail.

	A203D posted 28/10/2011, 06:08 I really dont think its selling 4mil copies. maybe 3mil, but new fans wont buy this game. all of the sales will have to come from people who bought FF13. and i'm willing to bet not many people even finished it. Message \| Report

	DakonBlackblade posted 26/10/2011, 04:13 @A203D I dont think Square is concerned about XIII-2 sales, they pretty much know it wont sell nearly as well as this game but they arent expecting it to, its a considerably low budget game, built upon a DLC that was planned for XIII using the same engine character etc etc as XIII. Itll probably sell aroound 1-2 million worldwide and Square will make a very hughe profit from it. Message \| Report

	A203D posted 06/10/2011, 04:52 Its probabily selling a few copies here and there.

	COKTOE posted 09/09/2017, 01:18 A fantastic entry in the series, with it's main flaw being that it takes a very long time for the combat to reveal it's greatness. Makes FF VII look like a pile of oily rags. Set that shit on fire and give FF XIII a try. Before long, you'll be glad Aeris is dead. Message \| Report
	Dadrik posted 05/12/2016, 12:39 Combat was pretty aight, graphics were great, musics were godlike, game was pretty long, but the thing is that the game takes pretty much 25 hours to actually take off and feel like an actual FF game. And it still has meh characters and an average story. The game isn't THAT awful, but it's certainly painful to play at times, since we know it might end up be great, but we have to stick through hours of ultralinear gameplay before it finally gets interesting. FF X was very linear too at the beginning, but it at least made up for it with a great story and a shorter "intro", imo. Message \| Report
