#FinalFantasy #FF13 #FFXIII - Hry
I just remember when me and my brother got this when we were 13.
We played through the entire thing together. Twice, lol.
Now that he's gone, Final Fantasy holds a huge place in my heart, specifically the 13th game.
I remember being 13 when lightning returns came out and It immediately captured me.
I’m sorry for your loss! I’m glad you have something to remember your brother by :)
I'm sorry for your loss. I pray he's at peace in Heaven with the Lord. ):
Was he your twin? I have a twin too and my world would be devastated if he left anytime soon… I am so sorry for your loss my deepest condolences.
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope he rests in peace.
Final Fantasy X and Xlll Triology will always hold a special place in my Heart. I can watch and play them both of a hundred times over.
Where can i safely download Final fantasy 7 98 pc and will it work with the newer mods
for me it is X, 12 and 13. i could never get into 13-2 or 13-3
i gess that is how FF games hit all of us
man of culture, i love final fantasy x and xiii too
FFXIII is good. I don't know why people hate on it so much. I play it all the way through at least once a year.
I don’t get the hate either. My brother and I like to start it together over beers and hangs every now and then.
AGREED! No.1 Best Ff for me! It will always have a special place in my heart.😊
Final Fantasy XIII is my favorite❤ game In the franchise. Besides FF7 & the remake. I really didn't understand why people hate it either.
The reason its cuz it has too many "open world" places but its all linear and repetitive and empty
I tell people, "It's okay to like trash, just don't pretend it's not trash."
When I first played FFXIII I thought it was easily one of the best FF games of all time, and I was genuinely surprised that so many fellow FF fans didn't like it. I fully expected it to receive universal acclaim. That was the point I realised I play FF games for somewhat different reasons to most.
What were the reasons if you don’t mind me asking? I genuinely had the same feeling as you and was quite shocked with all the backlash at the time.
@@gellarcon Well, for one thing there was the story. I love that FF stories tend to be rather over the top, and I'll always prefer a story that's a little confusing or incoherent but keeps me guessing, rather than one that's coherent and makes perfect sense but which completely fails to surprise me. I loved the way that FFXIII's story starts with you having no real idea what's going on, and the threads of the story take a long time to come together. I loved the fact that the real romance of the story, between Snow and Serah, was already established before the game started - that was quite a subversion of RPG tropes. And I just like the melodrama of Final Fantasy stories - I've always thought that FF games have more in common with opera than just about any other art form. All the characters, all the plot points, all the emotions, they're 'big' rather than subtle (although I do think they also tend to be rather sophisticated in their own way).
And then there's the setting. I have huge respect for the way every main FF game has a different setting, and most of them are very different indeed. After IX, X and XII I really liked that they went for a setting with sci-fi overtones of XIII.
Ultimately I just want a Final Fantasy game to tell me an interesting, unpredictable, exciting story in a world that's been finely crafted by talented artists, and I thought XIII did that just as well as every main FF since VI. I don't care so much about the combat, and honestly I don't think any FF has ever had really good combat. XIII's combat, I thought, was fine for what it was. And I don't care so much about side quests and non-linearity, the lack of which in XIII seemed to be most peoples' biggest complaint.
@@DodderingOldMan Well, the story's good but it's not for everyone. I'm a XIII fan as well, but it's clear that you can't really appreciate the series until you've played through it. For various reasons, but the most blatant are both because you need all the games to understand what is going on (that is a long ass time in the dark), but also because the characters themselves suffer a lot of development, which we don't see early in the story (which, again, takes 3 games).
Also, back then people in the west were still hung up on FF being either VII or the classic (let's call it IX-like) experience. I enjoyed it because I ignored the fact it was called "FF". I enjoyed it for what it was. I loved how I had to figure the strategy for each monster I came across instead of grinding and mindlessly trample content (although I also hated that I basically had to die first to figure what I had to adapt).
I don t belive that there is some connection between XIII and XIII-2/3. I love 13, but sequels are only a cheap try to get money from fans. I think that it s enought to play original XIII to understand everything.
@@XlikeZero Hmm, I agree and disagree. I do think that playing just XIII is enough - I believe it stands up well on its own. But don't think the sequels can be written off as just a money-grab. And I say that even as someone who was kind of disappointed with them, especially XIII-2. I personally didn't like them as much, but I honestly believe they were genuine attempts to address certain criticisms and provide an extended story.

Me in my head: square should take notes for a remaster collection for consoles
@angrytacos ff13 trilogy on switch would be like a dream come true for me
Or just buy a specced PC for a proper gaming experience from the get go lol
This is game so gorgeous, even without a remaster, this game can still compete in the graphics category even in today’s standards.
I hope they add new stuff or sidequests to break the linearity of the game.
@@87togabito Switch is nice because of its portability among other things.
angrytacos I’ve been thinking about how great having the XIII trilogy on switch would be
December 2009, my dad comes home from work with a new game. The cover is bland but the lady is... cute? I don't really know, I'm 7 years old.
After dinner, he and I hop on the couch and start up the PS3. Now, as a kool kid, I don't fuck with no prissy piano shit. But the first time I heard that (to me) iconic theme I was put in a trance.
My dad grins, and selects a new game. The opening cutscene... holy fuck.
Cut to nearly a decade later. I finish the 60GB download and plug in my HDMI. I'm worried that my laptop won't be able to run it. The screen is a static white, complete silence.
Then I hear the piano. I send a photo of the load screen to my dad and select a new game.
kool
Aw I like these sentimental stories! How's your laptop handling it? I wanna see the game for myself, but wonder if mine will run it. What are your specs? I know steam has system recommendations, but still. I only have 4GB ram, quad core, 2.3ghz
@@oejdhd you're going to laugh at the absurdity that my laptop can run the PC port with no technical issues. 4GB RAM, with a Radeon R7 M340. The GPU has about 1000 MHz with 2GB of memory. There were some frequent frame rate drops when I first started playing but connecting a controller fixed it (apparently it was scanning for a controller every few seconds).
@@torgan haha that's amazing! I'm sold 😂
“NoW As A KoOl KiD I DoNt LiStEn To No PrIsSy PiAnO ShIt”
I also feel like I played the game and thought "This game, has issues. Wish it was better." And for the decade since I've kept listening to the wonderful music, and thinking about the environments and character designs. It stuck in my mind so well.
I died when Cloud showed up on screen 😂

hilarious
The Final Fantasy XIII series will always hold a special place in my heart! 😍😍😍
XIII is underrated and existed in the middle of "Open World stupidity".. I enjoyed it more than XV. (Not yet play LR)
A lack of an open world is not why that game sucked. The characters and story were basic as fuck and the music was atrociously bad electro pop. The combat was way too simple and therefore very monotonous. This was the first RPG i have ever played where not only did I not like a single character but actually loathed the whole cast and the villains. Everything was over acted to a degree of cringe. Open world or not, this game was made for and appreciated by the same people who watched and liked the Twilight trilogy. That's fine but that alienates a LOT of fans. They brought in a new crowd at the expense of their life long fanbase. New people loved it, older fans hated it.
XIII was my first real video game disappointment. Bought it at launch at midnight, got about halfway through and decided not to continue.
@@NeutralGloomBot basic what are you smoking you clearlly dont know shit about 13 or fnc
FF15 was ruined because the corporates at SE wanted to make a game that is at the same time an engine showcase. Had they let Nomura worked with his vision to the end, and not change engines late in the development stage then the proper FF versus 13 would have come out instead of that garbage 15.
Most JRPGs that I played during the psone and ps2 days allowed you to explore from city to city. You level up, collect items at your own leisure, experience the new place that the story directed you to go, so going to a new place either felt like an adventure or throwing yourself into new kinds of danger depending on what part of the story you are in. FF13 railroaded you with it's corridor map and didn't give you any town or city to explore. You don't get to experience the world that was created for the story, you are just railroaded into everything. You get to explore in Gran Pulse, which is only a vast wilderness which seemed unfinished too. They have that weather system which changes the enemies but does not contribute much to anything., really feels like they just slapped it in the game and thought no further of it.
Their strongest attacks which you get at the end does not really make that much of an impact either. Unlike when you are filling your Limit break meter in 7, using aura stones to use overdrives in 8, and filling the overdrive mode in 9. You use most of the characters in almost the same way in battle too, unlike in other Final Fantasies.
The characters were fine, I like Lightning and Snow well enough. In 13-2 though, they removed everyone. 13 felt like an unfinished game, and having 13-2 might have saved it, but it felt like a filler before releasing Lightning Returns. FFLR imo had a great battle system, but I don't like time limits.
Ouuu try LR, its the bestt
Honestly just being able to play the game on PC at 60 fps was such a drastic improvement
Being able to use the HD cutscene models for the in-game cutscenes...oh man
The trilogy needs to be remastered !!!!! I love FFXIII so much 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
Apathy YES THIS NEEDS A REMASTERED BAD! I also love this game❤️
The game holds up graphically after all these years. Still gorgeous.
It really does, even without the mods this game is stunning
And it came out in 2009!
I remember Playing XV and thinking it didn’t look as breath taking like XIII
lightning returns is honestly one of the best games i’ve ever played and a big part if my teenager years. love all three but lightning returns is the best out if the trilogy imo
Die hard ffxiii trilogy here, the thing who sucked in xiii was the time...
Agreed, the gameplay is quite difficult to grasp at first but once you get the hang of it, things become so much fun. My only gripes are the time thingy, and the awful colored omega weapon.
Lightning Returns story is nonsense. the battle system is worse. but the side quests are pretty good. the environmental design is great. it's noticably lower budget than the previous.
@@whodatninja439 i actually love the battle system and the story they’re my fave parts about the game but to each their own
@@whodatninja439 the battle system is good, its probably ur nob at it
It's always good to see some XIII love
I'm always impressed by the work people are putting into sfuff like this. Unfortunately this only works on PC.
Thinking about the anniversary, I'm actually surprised that Square didn't try to sell a cheap port for PS4/5 to the players.
I'm still wondering why they didn't take the opportunity to do so. It'd also have been less work to do touch up XIII than for what they did with FF8 (Which is also funny, because both games are pretty polarizing, yet they chose to take the chance with just FF8)
Hopefully they consider it for the PS5(+PS4)
@@BearBoyJW Probably because textures for FFVIII are kbs to mgbs in size. With FFXIII, you're talking GBs of data to touch up with very precise paintwork for textures for HD-sensitive observation. FFVIII's textures are a few different colors per palette of maybe 20 colors total for each model. I'm not sure how you think FFVIII would be more difficult. Even with the model swaps they did in FFVIII Remastered, it's polygonal data versus FFXIII's 3D models that have bones and weights that affect physics which would directly effect texture rendering. They would have to literally recreate models for FFXIII. This is why we don't see real mods for FFXIII besides simple color swaps. Messing with upscaling textures can break things. It's another thing to add anti-aliasing or multi-sampling to make things appear more crisp though, but the actual data of models and textures are not truly effected. It's only the glasses your PC puts on to see something that's not really there so-to-speak. I browsed the mods for this game after I saw this video, and as I thought, there aren't any actual modifications (maybe 1 or 2). Just simple color and model swaps. I suppose those fall under "mods" in the definition of modification... I dunno; when I think of "mods," I think more drastic changes like altering how the game is played, changing scenario dialogue to deviate progression, combining bones and weights to make characters do different things that aren't necessarily coded into the game, and of course creation (or removal) of clothing into content that is not anywhere in the game's data.
Because the consoles lack the power needed to run these mods?
It’s a proper PC gameplay, not the skim milk console gaming experience.
@@Sh3ail
If you believe my or not but the most "hate" (The Good Critics and the pure Hate critics i mean) for the 13 game trilogy was in the West and Europe. In Japan and Asia was the trilogy a success and even when Lighting was a very blank character at the start (Character development during the trilogy coult be better let us all be honest! Rule 34 career is not all) she was looked as Bad Ass Heroine in most Asian nations.
Sad to see that SE Abandon her.....maybe 2B/A2,Tifa and Aerith are too great concurrent for her :-/
FFXIII is really underappreciated as the visual masterpiece that it is. Regardless of how you feel about the gameplay, no game was this gorgeous and honestly even the more recent games haven't come this close to the amazing graphical fidelity. The art in this game is fucking amazing
First final fantasy game I’ve ever played. Tried playing others but I didn’t like them as much as this one. Up there as one of my favorite games in general. I love story telling and world building. As well as graphics, amazing soundtrack, and interesting character design. This was right up my alley.
Nice.
If FF13 is your first FF, you were born in the wrong generation.
@@KyranSparda Wow
7 and 10 would be right up your alley if you liked 13.
@@ClaireYunFarronXIII thanks to you i was brought into the final Fantasy series
A FF13 video? yes!! I'm super excited road to 80K💪
Final Fantasy is all about: this game have various limitations and flaws, but I love.
And FF13 still gorgeous after more than 10 years later.
I don’t know anything about mods. But having the ability to play as any character during the story would make me wanna replay it.
@@Sh3ail it doesn’t need to but would make the game play more interesting than it already is. Mods don’t have to make sense with the games story
Bro, great content and thank you for all of the FF modding videos! I found your channel when looking for FFX mods a while back.
Omg modding FF 13 my favorite FF ever!💕💕 Definitely going to try this! Thank you NSP!😄
I didn't expected this coming. It's good to see mods coming now
i'm playing this game right now, i'm delaying the end and just trying to 5 star all the cieth stone missions. i'd say it's quite repetitive and kinda boring but i don't know why i still keep on playing it lmao. i guess i'm just liking how fang rides chocobos.
trust me, finish the game, it’ll make it easier to 5 star them with an even more expanded crystarium
Where can i safely download Final fantasy 7 98 pc and will it work with the newer mods
I actually just started this up again last night! This is definitely my nostalgia pick for HD era FF titles. Love it from the moment the piano starts on the menu screen. Far from perfect but still great.
Same, started playing through it again after a year or so.
Same here. I started on the weekend, enjoying every moment again. Still upset it's not on PS4 and they have every other FF games on it.
Omg! Thank you! I was looking to mod the graphics for the game since I realized the resolution was locked to 720p. I have so many great memories playing 13 because it was my very first game for the ps3. I miss those memories of happier days.
Man I love this trilogy. Its so awesome, the battle system. I just wish they would remaster it already. Playing the game these days
This is amazing, i don't care what anyone says...i love this game...maybe not a great FF (and i kinda of agree) but in my opinion XIII is a very unique jRPG.
Yeah it has its issues, but I really like the atmosphere. Like a lot.
Story is eh, characters range from eh to yikes.
But goddamn, the atmosphere is amazing. Its probably the most beautiful atmosphere I've experienced in any game. The music combined with the visuals and art design just has this very specific vibe that I just adore.
And yes, I even love the victory fanfare. Its the musical epitome of "breath of fresh, cool morning air".
I understand the idea of series staples, but there's nothing wrong with changing up the victory fanfare. Its just one thing.
When I think of series staples in FF, I think of creatures more than one single music track.
Wow! FF13 CZcams content in 2020? Thanks a lot! Loved the game.
awesome this will make me decide to pick it up again, i started, but quit a little ways in, but now I have some motivation to play it all the way through again!
I can definitely agree with the different models for sora looked in kingdom hearts 1 and 2 on ps2. His different face expressions always cracked me up! Lol
The soundtrack to 13 just hits somewhere deep within my soul.
I did all of this modding just last month. And BOY did it make a HUGE difference for my enjoyment.
I haven't played FF13 but watching cutscene videos makes it look sooooooo good. Going to hit it up on Steam today and pop in these mods. Hopefully will be a fun play after finishing the FF7Rs.
I really love this game
And I wish they would make it A remake on PS5
been replaying FF IX with the moguri mod, I never got into XIII but i might give it a second chance now!
Saw the trailer for that mod, looks great. I completed FF9 (again) just recently, so might wait a while before I dive back in for the Moguri mod.
Perfect suggestion CZcams! I haven't played this game since console release, and I do have the game on Steam but haven't gotten around to play it. Gonna make it the ultimate flavor experience first with these mods. Thanks!
FF13 is still one of my favorite FF and I'll be sure to use these mods when I rebuy it on Steam. Thanks!
10th anniversary, wow where did the years go? Feel so old lol
Much appreciate the humor and editing
Nice video. This is what I will do on my first playthrough.

Holy shit that wild Cloud appearing really caught me off guard lmao XD. This looks amazing, I'll definitely be looking into this on my next playthrough. Thanks for the info!
If Square ever plans to remaster FF13 they should take notes.
I would love a few costumes for each character.
I didn't heard the name *"Sqaure"* for long time, thanks for mentioning, I missed good old times playing JRPG when I was a kid.
Man I love FF13 !
I think its one of the best FF games !
The visuals, game play, storyline, & character models are great !
FF13 should get a PS5 Remaster.
Thanks for uploading this. When I first played FFXIII, the only options we had was a widescreen hack. I think the majority of the issues of the game (aside from story related ones) can be fixed.
Yo crystarium editing LET'S GOOOOOO.
Honestly, along with that, unlocking roles sooner, and adding a couple XIII-2 mechanics like paradigm settings and leader switching, FFXIII could be elevated to a much higher quality. If Square were interested in a remaster they could also add some flair to the game by simply adding some FFXIII-2 minigame content to XIII and attaching a reward. Something self-contained like the stuff in Serendipity. Put that stuff in Nautilus, or at save points. And offer other mark mission throughout Cocoon so hallways aren't so dead. And actually have that one minigame with Hope on the Dreadnaught come into play more than once and actually have a reward system. There are a lot of simple ways to enhance that game without all the effort of designing new models or music or game mechanics.
Final Fantasy XIII the whole trilogy is great, amazing. Lightning is one of my favorite characters in games. I love FFXIII. All the hate about this game is absolutely not deserved!!!
I would really like to remaster on new consoles)
It's cool how these mods improve the visual experience some but my issue with the game is how the port was handled. Sucks we don't have a FAR-like mod for the game. I've wanted to play this game for so long but seeing some of the cutscenes become staggered every few seconds, fps/resolution issues, among other things is annoying.
Plus I've wondered if there's a mod to help some of the pacing for the gameplay; I hear that the game and customization opens up after so long, was looking to see if there was a mod to fix issues like those so the earlier/mid game would be more enjoyable.
I want to love this game, would like to have a proper experience of it if I could.
FF13 fix does just that for performance, he forgot to mention it. github.com/rebtd7/FF13Fix
I just discovered this video and I'm glad that I did. The FFXIII Trilogy is my favorite out of all of the series, despite it's flaws, and I was planning on revisting them soon. Now that I know that I can make the experience better, at least with the first game, I literally feel like I'm a teenager again. Thank you for the awesome video, and I will be using these mods when I revisit XIII again.
This is very good, thank you for the Vid.
Before I watch this. Everyone here needs to know this the my absolute favorite final fantasy
Me too!❤
I still can't understand the hate... I love this game so much !!! 💕
Perfect timing for me, thanks
How fortunate, I was planning to replay this gem !
4:01....i just laugh for no reason XD
Seraaaaah
It’s a beautiful game with amazing music, (I don’t care about changing the story) but wish there was a different battle system.
@@shadow4040 Yes I 100% agree with you. The first time I played and completed the game I had an enjoyable time but after going back to try to complete all the missions and grind for the ultimate weapons, I just can't force myself to do it. The grinding is just very unrewarding. Almost no item drops, not many enemies give you much cp or money, since normal items drop super rarely imagine trying to grind for items that are extremely rare and that you need to upgrade your equipment and weapons with. Maybe one day I'll find the time and determination to 100% the game but it isn't gonna be anytime soon lol.
Thanks for this video man, it's all i wanted to say
Oh YES! I actually didn't think to check for mods for this one lol. Niceee
@@Fueyer-Foxloyal-heart4heart88 umm what? lol
"Will it fix the story"
Me: Wait... people hate the story?
The story is fine, the way the story is told is not so fine.
A lot of stuff in the story is either badly explained, not shown until it's too late or both.
Look for example at the first hour of the game, which is an especially bad case of this, and you have to ask so many questions about whats going on. What is a Fal'Cie? What is an L'Cie? What is Cocoon? What is Pulse? Why are they at odds with one another? What is the difference between them? Why is there a Purge? I could go on and on and on about this and while some of these things get explained, overall it's to overwhelming and while all of this is going on you are also introduced to the whole main cast (except for fang).
Normally when replaying a game, i kind of wish i didn't know the story so i could experience it like i did the first time. In the case of FF 13 it was the opposite and i was happy that i actually knew what was going on, in fact i think playing it the second time made me enjoy the game a lot more and raised my opinion about it's story and characters tremendously.
The linearity of the gameplay until you reach Pulse still sucks tho even in a second playthrough.
@@Aseruxx really well explained!
@@Aseruxx Very fair. I can see a lot of that stuff and I guess I was just far more focused on how much I liked the characters to think about that.
A lot of it might be the fact that this was my first FF game, so I have a fair amount of bias towards it.
Valid reasoning and fair opinion.
Ngl, I do defend this trilogy
Great video! Thanks for featuring my work again, let's hope it won't be the last time. ^-^
I mean our taste in games seems to be very similar soooo...
Thank you so much man! I’m sure it’ll happen again for sure :)
i remember playing the demo over and over again when i was younger, now i'm able to actually play it on pc. i'm living a dreamm
What’s wrong with the story? FF13s story is the best thing about it. The bad thing is the linear game design (something it shares with FFX).
It's not the story that's really issue but rather how it's presented that can be a turn off for some.
@@JustSkram yeah I mean you have to read a lot but at least they are explaining everything. FFX doesn’t even explain ingame why Tidus can breath underwater or why Yuna can walk over water. 😅
“Ultimate experience” just showcases the HD mods.
And didn’t try the honourable mentions 🤦🏼♂️
Great video thanks, will you do XIII-2 and LR?
I recently installed all of these mentioned and I can say they really do make you feel like you're playing an HD remaster version. The difficulty mod is probably my favorite one since it breathes so much more life into the game for me since I've played so much. It's fully customizable too, and you can enable and disable the individual effects of it mid-playthrough with no drawbacks. The settings I use are
- enemy HP +75%, scaling down to only 10% for enemies with high HP already
- enemy strength/magic +35%
- enemy ATB speed +50% (so it's like they have haste all the time)
- max stagger duration -25%
Some battles are seriously difficult now, but you can still always win them with the right strategy. If you watched any old stage 8 crystarium challenge videos, you'd know what I mean
Also, this wasn't mentioned in the video, but I highly recommend getting the FF13Fix mod. It fixes the terrible FPS spikes, and also fixes the issue where any 2D HUD elements would tank the FPS further. It also fixes the controller stutter glitch as well.
Lastly, there is a 2020 Steam guide that has links to all of this and explanations. Check it out if you run into problems!
If people really dont like FFXIII, how could you ever like FFXV... At least this game HAS a full fledged, finished story and LR has the best combat out of all FF games
I'm in the camp of not liking FFXIII, but really liking FFXV. Story alone might be the deciding factor as well, as I think the music and visual direction is superior in XIII. Many don't view FFXV's story as "being complete," though I think it was every bit as complete as every other game in the franchise in terms of narrative prior to the DLC. FFXV has an arc from beginning to end with a dark and ambiguous ending similar to FFVI's ending. Some people, newcomers especially, might think every game in the franchise is unfinished in some way if the devs constantly reference cut content (not being able to save Aerith in the original game, Edea being missing from FFVII and put in FFVIII for two recent examples). The XIII trilogy having three games to get Lightning to step off the train prepared to live "happily ever after" seems to play into newcomer consensus more to me than FFXV getting some $4.99 episodes set during the main game or prior, and a book to give the cast it's "happily ever after" ending that "fans" apparently wanted. The original ending appealed to me more as being ambiguous and bittersweet, emphasis on the latter.
@@12ealDealOfficial ff13 is better characters and story
I love FFXIII, I just like experiencing a nice story telling action adventure game. I still play from time to time but I didnt know there were mods for it so thank you a lot to makes me discover them. I'll be sure to use most of them next time I play again.
For those who enjoyed the game, go try Tales of Berseria if you havent already. It's even better
If it were up to me, I would probably try to make the following changes...
1: Unlock the full Crystarium at the start. If the player wants to level-grind to get past a difficult part, then let them. Especially with a battle system like this that doesn't give time for strategizing nor gives you direct control over the party.
2: Ease up the requirements for rankings in battles, especially since the game locks battle drops behind having a high rank. That's the player's only means of getting money or materials to upgrade their equipment, so you're going to punish them for having a difficult time by making things harder?
3: When you're getting new equipment, let the player compare the base stats of the new equipment with the base un-upgraded stats of their current gear. I haven't replaced my stuff in multiple hours because I upgraded the early stuff and it's still more powerful than what I'm buying. Let me know if what I'm looking at is something that'll be worth using after upgrading it, or if I'm somehow accidentally looking at the previous tier equipment. (Also, having easier-to-get drops from the previous change would make upgrading equipment a fair bit easier to do.)
4: This is the lowest-priority change because it would be by far the most difficult to do, but it would be nice to at least remove a few invisible walls or barriers and open up the level design just a smidge. I remember there being some places where the thing blocking your path was pretty much just a "Do Not Enter" sign. Removing those smaller barriers and putting in any missing collision so we can explore the beautiful-looking areas a bit more would be nice.
Your constant use of Persona tracks for FF videos makes me want a mod to play FF games with Persona music in field/battle/town scenarios =P
whats nthe name of the song
It's cool to see this (and i'm happy for all others that still need to experience this game but, since i finished all 3 of them i'm not going to play them for a way long time, I still have a tons of other games to play and for sure all other FF's i didn't play yet !
I'm simple I see FF13, I click.
Thank you very much!:)
I love how modding can breathe new life into classic games. Hopefully some talented individual is working on a run animation mod as we speak!
bro bro bro bro. these mods are 10/10. wish I knew about this sooner but it's fine cause I only just got the pc version
these mods are amazing! all we need now is a simple UI upscale and it'll be perfect.
I don’t know if I would be willing to revisit this trilogy after having platinumed all of it when it came out (as I do with literally every final fantasy game simply out of principle), but I *have* been interested in revisiting the first one, not to 100% it but just to see how well it holds up visually and combat-wise. This is a great place to start, thanks!
I think a lot of people have false memories about how "non-linear" the older Final Fantasy games were, XIII just gave up on attempting to maintain the illusion and gets a lot of hate for it in return.
Can I know what sequence I need to do to install the mod properly? I make a blind run and I got
error
d3dx9_43.dll and 0x000007b error already. What things I need to do to avoid those error?
p/s: I got myself a copy of FF XIII after watching this video.
Ff13 is one of the best FF games. The battle system is peak, the characters are enjoyable, and the scenery is beautiful.
thank you for this ! are there any mods recommended for better audio? The steam port for xiii audio sounds like it's in a box :/ i know it didn't sound this rough on ps3...
hell yeah imma do this!
13 is my second fave ff game after 10 and it’s so much fun to play, sure it has issues like all ff games but it’s still amazing to play
I've been waiting for this vid. Time to build a pc just so I can play FF13 in ultra hd.
Was kind of hoping that there would be more gameplay mods such as unlocking party/leader customization in the early chapters and having the ability to switch leaders mid combat like ff13-2.
dude the nostalgia
Where can i safely download Final fantasy 7 98 pc and will it work with the newer mods
when the song 'dust to dust' started playing when u abt to reach vanille n fang village, i took a moment for a while for tht song.. it sadden me how peaceful village got destroyed.. i keep visiting tht village n observe the surrounding with tht song, it jst hit me bottom below
Thank You!
I've been thinking about playing this game just to experience the game play. Mods would certainly help my enjoyment.
I own all 3 and love em dearly
Sadly, there's still no mod to unlock secondary roles in the Crystarium earlier. :(
Love 13. A remaster with 13LR gameplay and type0 party options would make it soooo amazing
Not sure if you noticed, but that fan fare request was granted my dude. I'm gonna check it out myself
