Just finished watching all 35 episodes. Thank you for a rewarding play through.

[@HaLinhHondaLongBien]

click button in 50 minute very crazy .

[@luizy6701]

Just finished. Literally I'm looking at the credits while I write this. And I feel I must say, that yes, this is not a game for everyone, but I enjoyed the entire journey. Art, music, combat and characters are the best of this game, and I appreciate having the opportunity to experience this jewel.

[@AndreasFleissner]

It's an even better experience if you handicap yourself a little and try to finish every battle as efficiently as possible.

I played this game game twice and watching the ending in 4k made me cry again.

Imagine if the developers turned Final Fantasy into a movie, it would surely be at the top.

[@Beliasa01]

They did. It nearly bankrupt the company.

[@Timothy1395]

They have FF15 Kingsclaive and FF7 Advent Children

@Involten There’s been other FF films besides that one.

[@Timothy1395]

@Involten I haven’t seen them yet. I might need to eventually though.

[@mikedaprez]

@Involten actually was a decent film just hard to translate gameplay into a movie if u take the final fantasy out of the title spirit's within is a good movie.

[@zhaumbie]

Audio dies from 42:30-47:19 Must've been a freaking copyright claim on the ending theme. That really sucks

[@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuwx]

And what’s remarkable is that Japanese "let’s players" don’t cut out any music in this game by youtube! There is no silence at all! There's music everywhere! In original japanese version where Snow and Sera's date (where they looked at the fireworks and kissed) a completely different original funny song was played, and it wasn't cut either! (in the Japanese and English versions, a different song plays here. Moreover, in the English version they simply inserted a song from another place in this game here). And in japanese version the final cutscene is also available for all players with sound on KZbin. And in the English version it is cut out for everyone! (anger*) Is it really possible that the song in the English version in the final cutscene is somehow special? that youtube is cutting it out...

[@CrimsonFIame]

Looking forward to playing this again someday. It's no masterpiece but it wasn't remotely close to being a bad FF game it just had some issues that were hard to ignore like the party being split through 70% of the game, how long it took for the world to become available to the players, pacing issues and the paradigm shift being a tad bit messy. Issues that were corrected within FF13-2 while introducing new ones 😅. The entire trilogy had it's ups and downs but was still an entertaining journey nonetheless

I love this game and every other final fantasy I've played! Even though people have their opinions on this one, especially bad ones, I feel like this game will come to PS4. Of course people may say that it will never happen now but hey... you never know. This game deserves as much love as any other game out there. The creators did their best! Much love to you and final fantasy! ❤️

[@SktMew]

I just finished the whole trilogy yesterday, one game after the other. it's been a while since the last time i played FF13 (played each game at launch) and now that i have my memory refreshed i can say wholeheartedly that this game is the best of the trilogy. the characters, the world. the landscapes, the battle system, the difficulty and the story are all great and the GCI cutscenes, omg, the cutscenes from chapter 7 and 12 are just perfect. Of course there are things that XIII-2 and LR did better. for example XIII-2 has Caius Ballad, the best villain i've seen in any FF game so far, imo. and it also has great level design and top tier music. LR is the weakest imo, but the battle system is pretty fun as well and all the side-quests are fun to do, you know, they're not just about ''go kill this, go kill that''. still, the original XIII has a special place in my heart and i believe i'll keep playing it over and over again in the future

[@john_7000]

As Shirrako has shown, once you get used to the Paradigm system, battles are easy. Gamers today are used to easy win gimme's that don't require any thought or planning. He even did it with weapons and gear he got at the very beginning. You all really need to stop blaming the gameplay because you're too spoiled and lazy to learn. Seriously. The trilogy was an epic told story. And just to prove you wrong, the job system was every bit intact. The shifts and role changes? Those look like jobs to me. Go back to Skyrim where everything is handed to you on a silver plate. It's clear real gaming isn't for you.

[@noobdude5933]

Your life is trash because you said that. Combat system is the best I've ever seen. Staggering system is the best thing in battles. Characters are better than in any other final fantasy. Serah was correctly made, first an innocent person who was lightning's sister and afterwards she saved the future. I say that everything you said is TRASH. And you can't win all the battles with just the auto-battle system. Otherwise you'll end up losing. Also the enemies are amazing and nicely made. Also. you're probably lying . If you hate this game so much and only like the soundtracks. Why are you here? Go listen that orphan battle theme somewhere in hell where you belong fucking liar shit

[@BenoitAdam2]

FF13 protagonist "We're here to kill you !" Orphan = "Yes please"

[@commenter6763]

@25:50. Can you imagine if the other party members were really turned into Cie'ths? There are a few moments earlier in the game where they pull some bait and switch for serious moments, only to have those moments be "just Joshin' ya" moments. In other words, you knew they wouldn't permenantly be turned into Cie'ths here because the story is about hope and needs a happy ending. But, just for a bit there, it was like, "no way, man. That's some dark stuff." Fang and Vanille could still have saved Cacoon, though, after that. But dang, all the rest of the party being turned into Cie'ths would've been wild.

[@dantevic]

cheeseballjh that will never happen this is considered the worst FF in history an is very hated .

[@YisusCDA]

You speak for yourself, there are both negative and positive comments about the game, without implication, say that it is the worst final fantasy, leaves a lot to be desired, since the majority of characters who say that have never played it, I am sincere, I have to To say that the trologia is great. Both playable level and combat soundtrack are extremely good, you have to learn to have your own brother criterion. Do not misunderstand things, the game itself I really like and you have to admit that it has a catchy story, but basically there ends the magic. I am a big fan of the games of Squaresoft / Enix and if I encouraged to try this game despite their bad criticism from the fans is because of the affection that I have to the saga Final Fantasy, basically. I understand that the critics are divided into two groups: those who have been playing virtually all Final Fantasy for years and those who either started scratching the surface with the last FF (like the XII) or those that are released with this game. For the latter it is normal that this game is a marvel. Well, before I tried this Final Fantasy, I had read a lot of bad reviews about its linearity, I decided to play it and after I finished it, I realized that it is a very underrated game, not the best j-rpg of the generation, but neither It's so bad, it's a very entertaining game, that made me hooked to the TV for many hours in a row, it has a boring and desperate part, but it has that "something" that allows you to keep playing, people who doubt their quality , I recommend that you play it without paying much attention to bad reviews, which despite their mistakes, is a very good game

[@dantevic]

Klauser92 but there are more negativity than positives about the game from fans. I have played it an hated the combat with a burning passion. I don't hate the characters as many people do an the story was confusing for me.

[@YisusCDA]

But bear in mind something, the combat is not a genre, if not a mechanic for that game to be entertaining, of course there is no judge, everyone has their tastes when jrp`s is spoken, I do not concentrate on a single Combat mode, both turn-based and real-time combat, I find it very good, and final fantasy 13 has a well-kept and worked system.

[@YisusCDA]

I do not think the attempt to innovate the final fantasy combat system has failed, and I'll tell you why. Everything is a matter of debate, and there is an argument that all nostalgic fans of final fantasy, which is well wrong by the way. I honestly do not know if the turn-based combat is the total essence of the FF. It's your set of history, characters, landscapes. Action battles ARE NOT the evolution of battles by turns. They are simply different systems. To understand it better, it is like that belief that 3D animation is the evolution of traditional animation, when they are different things. Yes, both are animation but the way of working and the media are different, not to mention the final result. Basically, you do not expect to achieve the same with traditional animation as with 3D. And that happens with these two systems. On the one hand, the system by turns is a system of thinking, of shuffling options in a menu, where each character (usually) has a few possibilities. What are its failures? So, until now, every battle in turn is based on a map without visible enemies that appear after a tedious introduction, which gives way to a static battlefield, which at the aesthetic level is quite boring and not very dynamic. This has a solution, and as an example I quote that many have presented: FF XIII, with a faster introduction and more movement of the characters. What are its advantages? Well the main one, that everyone ignores, is that you can have ALL the characters in the battle at your whim. This allows you to create different characters with their own abilities, which enriches the battle options, and has a direct effect on the development of the story. Speaking of the system of shifts, I do not mean a merely procedural (or mechanical) matter since we are talking about the gameplay that is a determining factor in the "species" of video game; We are not talking about a book, or a movie, where the way of executing is independent of the execution of the same; The video game has its peculiarities. But removing combats by turns does not make Final Fantasy a different genre, it's still a JRPG. Shifts are a mechanics, not an instrument to create a genre. The JRPG embarks on many aspects: combats, exploration (not always), a developed story (better or worse), NPC with whom to converse and a touch of touch, level rise or skill acquisition.

[@MrBGP006]

Lightning: we’re here to stop him. We’ve come to save cocoon right? Me: ummm? The whole point was to keep orphan from being destroyed so cocoon won’t fall out of from the sky. It was only by the grace of Etro, fang and Vanille that saved them.

[@Gaywatch]

They didn't know Barthandelus was Orphan's vessel until they killed him and inadvertently released Orphan. Then the goal became killing Orphan while stopping whatever world-ending event followed, which turned out to be Cocoon dropping from the sky. Yeah the whole point turned out to be that killing Orphan would drop Cocoon onto Pulse but they didn't know that going in.

[@fabdvl]

​​​@@Gaywatchpeople keep arguing that these people should have just walked away like they even had the chance to or like it ever was a good idea. "If we have the power to destroy Cocoon, we have the power to save it!". At that point their best bet was in fact to get rid of all the dirt and do everything in their power to fix the collateral damage.

FF13 should help introduce you to the series since it's an easy jrpg overall with a wonderful story and visuals. XV is waay more complex and time consuming. Both are great btf games but you can't miss the chance on trying a classic as XIII, first.

[@hannoo7858]

The ending here is doesn’t feel that happy when you see the next part in ffxiii2 and realize the twist :/

[@m00gleboi]

In hindsight it kinda feels like this game was trying to be FFXV but the technology just wasn't there. They pushed presentation as far as it'd go and it left them with small corridors that were well window-dressed. XV ended up being what this wanted to be in my opinion. I'm hopeful that the FFVII remake or possible FFXVI will finally get the formula almost right. Square has a lot of mis-steps - and it's a coin-toss whether they've got a grasp on things. If they can maintain XV-levels of rich quality open-world throughout the next major mainline game without 'corridoring' or weird story-pacing they might just pull off something that lands in on "best games of all time" lists. Coin-toss though, it's already known that FFVIIR has had internal issues and is on an episodic chopping block.

[@MrNicolss]

I rather think corridors were made on purpose. Story-wise, it would have been incoherent being an open-world before arriving on Pulse.

[@wiseguy240Winston]

That's horribly inaccurate, 13 was intentionally story driven and linear but they made it more linear than intended. XV is trying to copy 13's lore if anything.

[@samprimo7]

This game is like attacking automatically, i dont get it(i've never played a ff before) arent you supposed to select the attacks and habilities you want each turn¿

[@rockrobster27]

alex samprimo you don’t have to use the auto mechanic. You can play manually, but best of luck if you don’t know how to manage your time while selecting commands

[@zaqareemalcolm]

It's what TV Tropes calls a "Programming Game", though its more straightforward and not as micro compared to FF12's Gambits Battle engagement is more about monitoring the situation and knowing which Paradigms to switch to and when, and on some fights, knowing when to use manual command selection.
