The Curious Case of Final Fantasy XIII Remastered

[@FinalFantasyUnion]

Thank you so much for watching the video! If you have a spare 5 minutes to fill-out a Final Fantasy Survey we're running right now, it'd be much appreciated: tinyurl.com/fullffsurvey

[@TeamMark-u8z]

I love the content and i'm only happier to realise you enjoy RE. Laguna origins please xD

[@dytgyfgyffuh243]

Please make a final fantasy 13 facts video

[@Dark-Glaive]

@FinalFantasyUnion I see that you haven't covered the FF13 Trilogy PC Ports on the Xbox App. The Xbox App PC Versions of FF13 and FF13-2 were reworked to be more stable with no need for Mods to obtain playability like with the Steam Versions. If you want to play the FF13 Trilogy on PC in the best way possible, you'll definitely want the Xbox App Versions.

[@Aldrasio]

There are now as many years between us and the release of FF13 as there are between the release of FF13 and that of FF6. It's crazy to see how much graphics changed in those 15 years compared to the most recent 15 years.

[@makasete30]

I recently played the pixel remaster of FF6. It was so good and I can see why Chrono Trigger and FF6 are still rated as all time greats.

[@mr.blueratwalesalt7372]

If you REALLY think about it, FF6 is peak FF, everything else just builds on it..

[@alumlovescake]

FF16 looks pretty bad. XV looked better so does a lot of last gen games

[@rickybobby5153]

@@alumlovescakeit’s because the lighting is garbage there’s no ambient occlusion which leads to everything looking flat

[@claytalian9091]

It doesn't need a remake. Just a 4K 60fps remaster for PS5, and remove the instant game over upon party leader death like in XIII-2.

[@MikaMausArt]

Not a remake, not a remaster, it needs a "redo". They need to rework the interactivity of the first game, add more npcs and things to do like they did with 13-2. Somehow make some cities available as hubs (Nautilus, Palumpolum, maybe some parts of Eden at the end). And most importantly weave the lore into the game and not via its text menus. 13 has all the potential to be an amazing experience just like 10 was, it just needs some gameplay additions and tweaks, and story/staging revisions

[@killxtech1302]

​@@MikaMausArt so a remake

[@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu]

No it doesn't need a re do give me the game as is but In 4k 60fps. Remaster is all it needs.

[@Antimonium]

I replayed xiii and xiii-2 recently and decided to not let myself be influenced by the negativity surrounding them and I have to say, they were not nearly as bad as I remembered them. started lightning returns just today, such timing!

[@Thorn_416]

I think 13 was a step backward for the series, but 13-2 improved on a lot and was a solid FF entry. Personally I think Lightning Returns is an underrated gem, not a masterpiece but a truly great game made with passion and imagination. I hope you enjoy it!

[@XRookSX]

13 story was so good. Battle system loved it. Light Vanille and fang were amazing. Love 13 series. LR has the best mechanics and gameplay but story kinda fell off. But still awesome.

[@bench2346]

@@XRookSX battle system is soooo good. i also love the soundtrack.

[@XRookSX]

@@bench2346 amazing OST one of the best in franchise !!

[@JustaBigMan]

​@@XRookSXhonestly I kinda like 13-2 battle system more than LR. I initially liked LR better but after replaying both games twice, I fell for 13-2 more. Maybe cause my favorite level in LR was the desert and Wildlands (because Fang/Odin are there so I don't feel lonely lmao)

[@NiiRubra]

Regarding the re-evaluation that 13 has gone through more recently, I think it's also worth taking into account, that the younger people whose first FF game was 13 are probably adults by now, and they can more adequately express themselves and make their appreciation of the trilogy known, which may also haved helped bring people to look at it again with fresh eyes.

[@homersams9015]

Yeah this is definitely it I was 12 when XIII-2 came out and it was my first one. I absolutely love XIII and XIII-2. It took me a while to come around on XIII but during the COVID lockdowns I came to really appreciate it. XIII-2 is probably one of the most replay able and customisable JRPGS with really interesting combat, amazing visuals and a fantastic soundtrack, easily my favourite FF game.

[@KieranHamilton-y7s]

Lol no.

[@josephRUready]

Just the fact that it is also the only main series game you can't buy on Playstation is heartbreaking. I hope one day it will get SOMETHING.

[@jimmythegamer2231]

Well you can't buy FF11 on PlayStation either but that's cuz it's only an MMO

[@DoomsdayMayBeOkay]

I was never a XIII hater but i leaned to really love it over the years. Would buy a remaster instantly.

[@Rem694u2]

I've beaten 13 start to finish more than most of the FF games. I think the only other ones I beat more were FF7, 8, 9 and 10.

[@carlosdoratt6602]

same here, never thought of Xlll as my favorite but that does not take way that I would buy a trilogy remaster in a heartbeat lol

[@ThwipThwipBoom]

I think it's too linear and the characters are boring. Gameplay is fine at least though nothing special.

[@Mixman1133]

​@@ThwipThwipBoomI agree, it was extremely linear. I don't think all of the characters were boring though (except Hope and Snow) but a lot of characters definitely had potential with their personal stories, like Saiz and Fang/Vanille.

[@feircy]

One of my favorite combat systems, I loved that every encounter in late game the potential to wipe you and swapping in and out of paradigms feels great. I also enjoyed the way you could manipulate the AI with stats to force characters to play how you want

[@PoIarization101]

I’m glad Xbox and PC players are able to play but I just want the trilogy on PS5. Insane it still hasn’t happened. A Zodiac Age-esque remaster with QoL features would do wonders, but at this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they just do another half baked port like how the PC ones turned out

[@gogetoanks3487]

I actually bought XIII and XIII-2 recently for my PS3 and visually this game has aged wonderfully (I'm currently going through the series from newest to oldest actually on XIII now) I do wish the game was a bit more accessible to people who want to try to experience this game.

[@koopatroopa200]

The graphics for these games were way ahead of their time. It still looks phenomenal for it's aged hardware

[@ArcadeTheatre]

XIII Trilogy remaster would be great. I'd buy it.

[@wolfguild]

FF XIII was my very first FF game I played and it made me fall in love with the series. I remember walking into Gamestop, seeing it on the used game shelf, and once I got up to the register the cashier was trying his best to "persuade" me into rethinking buying the game and I'm glad I ignored him. I played XIII & XIII-2 over and over again, but sadly never got to try Lightning returns. I don't have a PS3 anymore so if they released an HD trilogy I would 100% preorder I replay through them once again.

Give it the Crisis Core treatment, same game but current Gen supported for engine and graphics with quality of life changes like - saving paradigm set ups for individual team configurations - Chapter select upon game completion - Skipping the first chapter for New Game+ since it’s largely story and basic combat tutorial

[@erikouwehand]

- DLSS / FSR / XESS Upscalers support - HDR support (also on PC) - 120 FPS option - Higher resolution textures.

[@redlox2]

I would definitely play the FF13 series if it was remastered (or even ported tbh) for ps5 or even the switch lol, that’s just me of course

[@TrvisXXIII]

This game doesn’t even need a remaster, just port it! I haven’t played it since its initial release and the way I play games has changed a lot. I’d love to experience it again, especially because I never got to the ending, just grand pulse and I stopped playing once everything opened up haha felt burnt out at that point and clocked over 100 hrs by then

[@Cosmic_Espeon]

“We Live to make the impossible possible. That is our Focus!” God 15 years already? I feel so old. Feels like just yesterday I was running through The Hanging Edge and Lake Bresha. I would love to replay this game again but my PC can’t run it lol. I would love for newer generations to play this game, especially 13-2. Caius is definitely my favorite character in the entire trilogy and hearing his monologue near the end is heartbreaking. I still cry at the end of that game lol

[@davids2977]

I’d play a remaster in a heartbeat. Same with a remake. Never got to experience the fullness of XIII-2 or Lightning Returns because PS3 support ended before I had time to play either.

You can buy 13-2 and LR on the ps3 store still! I just got them both earlier this year! Unless something happened since then..

[@michaeldechant117]

FF13 Trilogy is definitely one of my all time faves & replay it every 2ish years

[@firefliesowlcity12]

I want a remake over a remaster solely because they aren't going to retranslate the game for a remaster, but the amount of lore in the trilogy requires it, and the lack of precise translation is part of what lead to the story problems to begin with. So if they are willing to remake the trilogy in a unified package understanding it's a trilogy from the get-go (which they obviously couldn't have known at the beginning) and can build a cohesive throughline that can be translated to other languages without errors, I would be very happy.

[@daviddalrymple2284]

I would love to see the Final Fantasy 13 games simply get the same treatment as the Mass Effect Trilogy Legendary Edition.

[@robdiquattro5590]

I tried my best to appreciate this game. I just could not care about the cast or their struggle. Glad people love it tho, it has an awesome speedrun with a ton of on the fly mental math.

Fingers crossed 🤞 I really want that XIII trilogy remaster, I think we have pretty good chances to get it but also I don't want to take it for granted

[@redomagnus4762]

I actually really loved the first half of XIII. I loved the structure, teaching you how to to play each of these character archetypes, before opening the toy box for you to mix it all up

[@hnorrstrom]

Yes the first half is superior, when you are actually forced to use all characters and have a clear goal. The open world is just too much.

[@zakirstocks9514]

I Absolutely DEFINITELY want *Final Fantasy XIII* to be Completely Remastered. I Absolutely Love this Game SO much! The Characters, Bosses, the Soundtracks, the English Dub Voice Actors and Actresses, and even the FF Heroine and Villain: Claire/Lightning Farron and Caius Ballad. They have to Remastered *FFXIII* franchises, just like they did with the *FFVII* franchises

No need for a remake. Just give us a Remastered Trilogy with 4K 60 and some gameplay enhancements.

[@georgehouliaras7239]

I would love to platinum the trilogy again. Maybe they can add some cut content too. I think 13 and 13-2 had a lot of those. As for LR Returns. It will be good if we can slightly change the ending and save Lumina. So what if she is a version of Lightning? I mean in Kingdom Hearts, half the roster are versions of Sora, we still saved all of them. Lumina was unique enough. Perhaps she could join Lightning and Serah as a younger sister after the ending. Dreaming aside, it would be nice to actually get the trilogy for Next Gen.

[@TetsuRiken]

idk about 13-2 but FF13 doenst really have a lot they could add back in really since most of the stuff that was cut was put in 13-2 like Metal Gigantar or the Fal Ce in the 7th ark but I wouldn't mind seeing the last Tomato Trio and the Wulzitorise

[@andrewcorbin5965]

XIII was my favorite game of all time until the VII remake trilogy began, dethroning it. I still hold Lightning Returns’ battle system up as arguably the greatest battle system SE ever produced, too. That system was another beautiful evolution of ATB that kept each battle feeling fresh and tense.

[@bettym4859]

Apparently it very likely has to do with crystal tool, which was used for the trilogy. Everyone I heard who works in the videogame industry says it's notoriously hard to work with and it's why they scrapped it. This might be why they answered that to Alex Moukala

The battle systems of each game, but especially Lightning Returns, are such bangers. I would like to experience them again with PS Remote Play.

[@ytgytgy]

This would be great, but im waiting for a remake of 6 with sakaguchi at the helm!! Keep all the story but add to it- how celes got to where she is at the point of the game, how terra was raised as an empirial officer, how kefka slowly went mad, how cid was involved before the game's events, and give cyan some more love because i love how a lot of the world of ruin is him completely losing his mind and picking up the pieces...NO annoying fetch quests or dumb mandatory mini games...such a good game already but so much more could be fleshed out of these characters with amazing stories.

[@dingo535]

As someone who is playing through the game for the first time and doing so on the PC, I can say the game still holds up tremendously well. Especially the characters, which I honestly feel look better than many of the models we are seeing in games today.

[@KHROMAsynthetik]

I've always had a soft spot for XIII and XIII-2. Never managed to get far in LR because I just can't deal with time limits in games 😅 I still remember going to the FFXIII launch event on Oxford Street and getting my limited edition signed by Yoshinori Kitase and Isamu Kamikokuryo. Still have it on my shelf! I also got the soundtrack signed by Hamauzu-san at... I think it was Final Symphony..? Either way, the soundtrack is so good.

[@jimmybreuer7331]

This video released on the same day I got my copy of ffXIII. Excited to finally give it a shot after all these years

[@handsoaphandsoap]

Of all the FF games, XIII deserves the remake treatment the most. It’s got a lot of great ideas but for whatever reason they just couldn’t piece them together to make a cohesive whole. The XIII lore being stuck in the main menu is the biggest travesty of the FF franchise, adding it to the main campaign should be priority number one for a hypothetical remake #freethelore

[@alexcoupe.]

I wonder if the PS3's cell processor is a factor? Some many games are "trapped" on PS3 because devs say the cell processor is so unique and difficult to work on

[@erikouwehand]

What do you mean? The game is also present on PC? So that is X86 architecture, same as PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

[@OtherlingQueen]

Personally I love the visuals of XIII so much, it gives me nostalgia for when I played it at a much younger age and generally for the games of the late 00s. The gameplay is also one of my favourites, a guilty pleasure of mine when others talk bad about it. I didn't really like most characters and some of the story beats/aesthetics but they don't ruin it for me. I even kind of wish we could revisit the ATB system from XIII, it's one of the games in the series that I felt like I clicked with the most. I would be the first to look forward to a remake and enjoy it like I did the original.

A remaster is needed for FFXIII trilogy with some QoL here and there, though the game is probably one of the most forgiving mainline in the series. The game already looks pretty good, and I'm sure there is cut content they wanted to add but due to time constraints or other reasons they held back. Never forget that Nissan marketing with Lightning and Snow driving. 😂But yeah Lightning remastered would be wonderful.💚 They could add more mainline series theme schemas/outfits in lightning returns 😉

I wasn’t able to finish it though since the bosses were to hard, and I don’t always have the time to play since I have school and just sometimes need a break from video games. if they remastered it, they have to debuff monsters or make losing health slower. otherwise, I love final fantasy 13!

Just finished FF XIII for the first time in 2023. It still holds up great! FF XIII-2 and Lightning Returns could use a little bit of a facelift, it was clear they didn't have the same development time. XIII-2 plays great, but the visuals in some areas feel a little under polished compared with XIII. Having all three in one collection with some extra polish and in 60 FPS would be awesome.

[@thatssoderek2188]

I have such nostalgia for these games at the moment. I replayed 13 and 13-2 on the ps3 many years ago and they were lots of fun. But I never got play Lightning returns. have them wishlisted on steam but as a console player it never felt right playing them on PC. Zodiac Age was such a blast as well, so much planning and build theorycrafting in the community. tbh a ff13 remaster v remake doesnt matter much, any way to play on PS5 would be enough for me.

Something like Crisis Core Reunion basically

@@Xerzene Yes, that would be really nice actually.

I’d be happy, I’d love to get my hands on a remastered FF XIII. Imagine those cinematics that already had great character models and textures even back in 2010 boosted with ray tracing and RTGI, and running at 60fps and 4K that’d be the perfect coat of polish. Imagine the battles at 60fps! And the rest of the game would benefit from improved dynamic resolution, character models, and textures (that how they did all of this back in 2010 was also great, the dynamic adjustments), if it included RT, RTGI, high res textures, etc that would be perfect!!

I think the first two games are very underrated. They're full of problems, but they're just fun. I havent played Lightning Returns yet.

Final Fantasy XIII needs a remake with more interactable NPCs, especially in Nautilus, more and better towns, maybe even a fully playable Bodhum, less linearity, more sidequests that aren't hunt missions, the possibility to revisit locations on Cocoon, a fully playable Seventh Ark, no forced "when the leader dies, it's all over" mechanic (and a hard mode with this mechanic as a feature), and a changed/extended ending to make it consistent with Final Fantasy XIII-2's lore, not just a remaster.

FF13 needs it's combat system to be fixed in its entirety, too many game over because the party leader died is just beyond stupid. FF13-2 & Lightning Returns, all had vast improvements, these remakes, should have their respective DLCs as part of the package by default.

Lightning Returns is one of my favourite games, I really liked the whole trilogy, I hope one day it gets a remaster
