Nearly 10 years old

>nearly 10 years old
>still looks better than every modern AAA game
Why hasn't the game industry responded to this?

...

Because there's barely a game attached to respond to

>"follow the lights so you don't get lost!"
>fucking hallway with one way forward

seriously? wtf square?

tfw i unironically loved this game

kek

Best in the series imo

I wouldn't say best (I'd say that goes to IV personally) but, it's definitely up there for me. Probably number 5.

Anyone who played the game would agree.

damn straight

WE ARE L'CIE
WE ARE EVIL
*repeat this for 30 hours with no progress*

It looks fine but its boring and lightning is worst FF grill.

I don't love it but I like it
Story is iffy and characters are bland, but there are enjoyable aspects of it like the music and visuals
the combat can be fun if you try to do stuff instead of just auto attacking

Still looks great.
Still not fun to play.

I'd probably watch a movie made in the engine. Square should just become a graphics house and sell all their game properties into collabs with... TriAce maybe?

It's really easy to make a game look good when it's a glorified hallway.

...

One thing I never understood about 13

Is Cocoon a hollow planet where they all live inside of it and it kind of goes like the ground is on the underside of the planet's crust and they have a false sky where the inside of the planet should be?

Yes

Well that's what happens when there's no game to dedicate system resources to.

>nearly 10 years old

Square could probably make some fantastic fucking CG movies. But every time they've tried it their writers have just eaten cocks the entire time. Who here remembers Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within? Or Advent Children?

easy to pull off graphics like these when the level design is a hallway and the world is completely empty, lifeless and lacking in any form of interactivity.

>People call 13 a hallway simulator.
>When 10 is literally hallways up to Zanarkand, which comprises about 90% of the game.

Hello?

I played the game and I violently disagree. This may be my least favourite game of all time.
And before you say it gets better or whatever, I played through the entire thing. That's why I hate it so much. The ending is even worse than the game already was.

Exactly. Put their XIII or Advent Children art resources on a new project like Valkyrie Profile 3, let TriAce write and design it, tell everyone else to fuck off.

X wasn't good either, so I don't get your point.

The combat of 10 wasn't also a hallway.

what do her armpits smell like

At least 10 had detours and other things to do. 13 had literally fucking nothing from start to finish, just walk forwards and kill enemies. Not that 10 was good anyway, shit story full of plot convenience, unlikable, bitchy, unnecessary main character and just generally shit characters all around. Auron and Jecht were the only redeeming characters. Auron because he was an old bad ass and Jecht because he emotionally and physically abused Tidus.

In b4

>M-muh Lulu

Being a hora hora sexy older lady doesn't make a fucking good character.

Justice.

I could never beat the first Barthandelus fight before his doom fucked me over cause I'm a filthy fucking scrub, and honestly after he killed that hot as fuck blonde with the glasses I lost interest in the game.

Sazh is one of the best Black characters in vidya though

>And before you say it gets better or whatever, I played through the entire thing. That's why I hate it so much. The ending is even worse than the game already was.
I get hating it more after beating it but the ending was just regular gay final fantasy shit

Persona's success must have fucked SE's head up pretty bad for them to do this.

>These hallways look better then open world stuff!
/thread
Any dev can make hallways look fucking good. Look at PT that entire demo was a hallway with more detail and content then most open world things

As far as JRPGs go it's not bad. But compare it to (at least your/most people's favorite iterations of) FF and it's not outstanding whatsoever. And when you consider the hype which it completely failed to deliver on.

It's all relative. That's how a lot of games get graded here anyway.

Literally BUILT FOR SEX.

>the ending was just regular gay final fantasy shit
This was a new low.

There has been some pretty dumb shit in Final Fantasy games up until now.
But nothing in the franchise history has ever been this disjointed, arbitrary and pointless.
Nothing in the entire narrative makes any sense whatsoever looking back.
The heroes could've done nothing and the world would've been fine. The heroes could've died in any and especially the final encounter and the world would've been fine. The one thing that was meant to doom the world - killing the bad guy - turns out - if the heroes just believe in themselves and read the script for what to do next at the last moment - the world is also just going to be fine.

Why does this game exist? It's not just the combat that plays itself, the story also literally doesn't require any actions from the player or the characters.

>I could never beat the first Barthandelus fight
use a setup that has both a buffer and a debuffer and whatever the tank name is, it's one of the few fights where the battle system makes sense and you are not just rotating mmo roles as needed.

Literally a STICK

dummy

>Game comes out
>Stay off Sup Forums and most of the internet until I beat it
>Loved every second from start to finish
>Come back to Sup Forums to discuss it with everyone
>Hate everywhere

Final fantasy was a mistake.

>graphics 10
>game play 1

Who woulda thunk

>damn straight
Yep that's FF13

They actually needed to turn into ragnarok because orphan was a cunt and wanted to take as many people as he could when he crashed.

At least it had tons of optional content

...

I see nothing wrong with the combat. Paradigms were cool as fuck. Also, Lightning has every right to be mad so I don't get why people complain about her being mad. Literally the only character acting appropriately.

Please leave Sup Forums already, you dumb nigger-weeb

Good game bad FF

pls stop trying to make fat attractive

And this surprises you?

its almost as if the game dog shit and only wiafu fags defend it

I just finished FFXV for the first time and although it was a little short, it was leagues better than the abomination called FFXIII.

I got to Gran Emptylands in FFXIII and after meeting a robot, which I suspect was an optional boss considering it's strength, I put down the controller and said no more.

FFX had NCP's, shops and towns. It also had better customization, battle system, mini-games and sidequests.

What did 13 have beside hallways?

BUILT FOR SEX

A literal wikipedia for terms, places and other stuff that are never explained through storytelling, but makes the player read the entries just to understand what's going on.

FFX had Tidus as a convenient person to explain to, while FF13 was full of pseudo-french terms that the characters just threw around. At some points, the characters just stated a word and got all spooked up, ready for battle. It was stupid.

Its easy to have the best graphics when you're on rails and can't interact with the rest of the world.
