What's the best game from the Final Fantasy 13 trilogy?
#1. #2 was good were it not for the cliffhanger ending. #3 wasn't for me.
I really like the time travel mechanic in #2 and the costume class system in #3, but I never beat #3 as I got stuck in that desert dungeon :P
Never finished this 1...isn't this the 1 with way too much running
Yea, it's pretty much on rails until something like Chapter 13. But there is a ton to do once you get that far.
@@FranklyCollecting ah, what's the mini game?
You know, I don't remember... I think there's a casino area with a few different ones. We're going to be finding out!
@@FranklyCollecting def no Triple Triad though, huh?
No Triple Triad!
Love this game, but man the beginning was not good to me
I know what you mean. There is a lot thrown at you in terms of lore. It got better as more opened up, for sure.
i hated 13, never finished it. played it for a bit, saw it never let you free to do anything other than going straigh ahead and your characters arent good nor feel good to play with and you cant build your team how you like. Its most likelly the worst FF
Definitely respect your perspective and think many others agree. For me, I never finished 7 or 8 as they were so big, and so I kinda appreciate the more straightforward approach here and in the sequels. The world does really open up more later on, and the paradigm battle system gets more involved as you unlock more variations as well. I think the character and world design is top notch too.
@@FranklyCollecting i have been told that it gets better but in my opinion is cope. Its like gambling oh it may get better and win a lot of money but only after sufering for a while and driving yourself into debt. There are other linear games that arent as insuferable, like the old good of war games or ffx for another from the same genre. FFX is also really linear but the combat is better, the lvling sistem is better, the characters are better, the story is really really good and it lets you more freedom.
I certainly wouldn't consider FF 13 insufferable. I really enjoy it! There's definitely a lot of subjectivity when it comes to game preferences.
@@FranklyCollecting its true, everybody likes diferent things but for me XIII was insuferable. i tried telling to myself it will get better all the time and forced myself to keep on going i just checked and i have 12 hours in it, i dont know if i played that long or if some were afk (most likely) but if you go to the achievements only 40% of the ones that bought it get to there and less than 20% finised the game
@@carlosbeltran804 Interesting about the achievement completion. I have noticed that many games have a very low percentage of completion. I think many gamers try games a little bit but only a small percentage actually complete a lot of games all the way though.
