Sandylecuistot - a lot of people who bought this are FF fans which is why it sold so much; not on the basis of merit by on the basis of being an RPG; we'll see how badly FF13 has damaged the FF name when FF13-2 comes out. i have no doubt the sales of that game will be a lot lower than this. so all those people who keep saying FF13 is 'the best FF, best RPG of 2010' are going to have some explaining when FF13-2 retails.

@Rob-Ot. But that's the thing, the plot never put ME to sleep and I found the villains and NPCs better than every other FF in the series. I agree tht the main party were poor but they purposely chose not to focus on them. How is that then a downfall of the game? Yes, there are now two KH teams. One is based in Osaka and the other is based in Tokyo making Versus XIII. But you have to take note of te fact that Nomura has said the reason KH3 is not yet being made is because the "main" KH team is busy with Versus. He also said that after Versus he wants to focus 100% on Kingdom Hearts. There's no way that Nomura's team will make FF15. His team will move on to KH3 and KH4 after that and the Osaka team will keep making handheld KH games. Message | Report |

Xenoblade is nothing like FF12 because from what I hear the plot doesn't put you to sleep and the characters aren't awful, just because its semi open world means its like FF12? Get your definitions checked. FF12 team doesn't deserve to do FF15, only Nomura's team does or if Matsuno comes back.

And Nomura's team doing FF15? What the fuck are you talking about? Nomura has said numerous times that his team will focus 100% on the Kingdom Hearts series when Versus XIII comes out. The only teams that will make FF15 are the FF13 team or the FF12 team. Seeing as the FF13 team is making FF13-2, the FF12 team is the one making FF15. Shut the fuck up and deal with it.

@The Xbox Man... FF12 was too mature for us fans to handle? Don't make me laugh. Good writing, no melodrama and sullen faces of characters doesn't suddenly make a game get the maturity of some oscar movie. Xenogears is more mature than FF12, I could understand it fine when I played it when I was 12 years old. And FF13's linearity would still be criticized 5 years ago. But I agree, as we get older we do tend to get less attached to characters and less amazed by fanatastical stories. Like I said FF7, FF6 and FF9 managed to appeal to everyone (maybe even FF8). So why can't they do that again? Why can't they make a Final Fantasy that will appeal to everyone. What happens if many younger fans of FF13 get alienated by FF15 if its too "mature" for them to handle like you said about FF12. No if the series needs to grow it needs to go back and see what made FF6-9 appeal to everyone and do that again. Message | Report |

@Rob-Ot... your missing the point. I didn't say the characters are good, I said they are weak but the plot is excellent and the villains are great. Like galvanizer said the game wanted to focus on world development not character development. I advise you to watch the cut scenes from FF12 on youtube and pay attention to the dialogues to see how interesting it is. The parallels in many events in FF12 with the real world is good and the game explores some concepts that no FF game has, you weren't paying attention while playing FF12 because like you said the game bored you. So now go to youtube and watch cut scenes of the game from the beginning, see it as a movie. I am sure you will understand and like the story more. Message | Report |

@Rob-Ot... they are not abandoning old fans. FF12 was aimed at the older audience. The problem FF12 and FF13 wnet through is one appealed to a older audience and many FF fans weren't old enough to appreciate it while FF13 appealed to a much younger audience (Its not sold well just on hype, many younger people like the game and are reccomending it to friends) and by then most FF fans had gotten much older can't appreciate the many strengths FF13 has. FF7-10 came at a right time and appealed to FF fans while they were at that certain age, then the progression stopped with FF12 which was too mature for many FF fans to handle. If FF13 had instead been FF12 and released 5 years ago it would have a much better reception among fans, and if FF12 was released this year instead of FF13 it would also have a better reception among fans. I think FF15 will appeal to older fans again, this time I think FF fans are old enough to appreciate it. Message | Report |

@The xbox Man... you have a valid point on characters. Its a fact that as we get older we get less fascinated by narratives such as FF13 and get much less attached to characters. My younger brother loved FF13 unlike me, he felt a connection to its characters and even liked the story so do most of his friends. But the problem is why is FF not aimed at me anymore? Why is it being aimed at 10-15 year olds? Are they going to be loyal to the series? Why are they abandoning fans like me in favour of younger people? Why can they make a game like FF7 or FF9 that appeals to all ages not just teenagers. That is the issue here. Message | Report |

@The Xbox Man... your justification for why FF12's story is meant to be this "great" thing I don't "get" is weak. You keep saying its mature and the dialogue leads to different meanings, but so what? That still doesn't make a good story. Play Xenogears if you want a game witha good story. It has chemistry between characters, interesting concepts explored, depth in the narrative and great pacing that flows. FF12 did not flow, it was 5 hours treks through dungeons then a 1 minute cut scene that half develops characters. FF12 had too less cut scenes, FF13 had too many. Message | Report |

@Rob-Ot... You were probably 10 years old when you played FF7, of course you wouldn't realize it had teen melodrama at that age. FF13's and FF10's and FF8's teen melodrama is no less than FF7's... it just seems more melodramatic to you now because of Voice Acting and because you are older. Its harder for you to get attached to gaming characters and be amazed by fanatastical stories as you get older. FF13 is aimed at the 10-15 teen crowd, its not aimed at you. My daughter was so attached to the characters that she cried when Vanille/Fang died at the end.

@Galvanizer... a mature and realistic story does not a good story make or an entertaining story. FFIX has one of the least mature stories in the series but it is miles ahead of FF12 because it was interesting and the cast had chemistry with one another. I prefer an interactive CGI movie with entertaining characters and a battle system that doesn't bore me to death to a bland game with a cast that has no chemistry with one another, half cooked villains and a boring story (again mature and realistic doesn't make for a interesting story).

I agree with that last point Galvanizer, the story was very good for the 2nd half of the game. the only thing i felt was that the characters wernt connected enough to the central story. and i think that the final villan couldve been better. i think the espers would've played a bigger part as well, as their rebellion against the gods is very important to the story, but never completely fleshed out. Hirkuchan, no one at SE is talking about Matsuno's departure, i'm not saying i know what happened, but i think from what we know its obvious that he walked away in what were 'undesirable' circumstances, which led to a less than stellar product. which is a first for Matsuno's team.

FF12 has some of the best villains and NPCs in the series as they have depth. The villains have logical reasoning for their actions. The party were mostly bland but that's because the development team wanted to put more fous on the story of the people you were not playing as rather than the ones you were.

But the problem is Vaan was not meant to be in it.

@A203D But FF12 wasn't even broken, though. Just because there are long hours of gameplay between cut-scenes does not mean the game is broken. FF12 just put gameplay importance above story and too many FF fans were not used to that setup in a FF. I think the game is fine the way it is. Vaan is not even meant to be the leader of the group and key aspect of the story, he's only the players avatar and point of view. Vaan is a lot like how Link was in the story of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Midna was the leader and had the story revolve around her but Link was the players avatar and point of view.

None of the characters were 1 dimensional in FF12 while all the party members in FF13 are straight out of an anime. FF12 also has the best battle system in the series. GTFO if you couldn't use to your liking. Turn Gambits off for the party leader next time and leave your party members on Gambits.

@squallstrife & routsunmanman i think the combined PS360 sales are higher in US than EU. but i think EU sales could end up being the stronger than the US. its not far from 2mil in EU combined PS360. then again it looks like the popularity of JRPGS are declining the US with the success of Mass Effect and Oblivion. so it could be the first time EU tops US. its good because it means that Square will take a bigger interest in the EU market. less than 1 million to go in EU before it tops FF7 EU sales, hopefully those legs hold.

FF XIII is well on its way to outselling XII. No one can call this a failure now! :D Message | Report |

Many on this site were prematurely discounting this game's legs. So far, it seems to be doing well. Number 6 seller for the PS3 all time. Message | Report |

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 |

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 |
