Also, XIII is one of my least favorite FF's for one reason and one reason only: Hope, that unlikeable little prick. Well, he kind of gets more tolerable once he stops saying "OPERATION NORA" or "WHY ME" every 45 seconds. Not by much, of course, but it's something. I actually played XIII long enough to get to Gran Pulse... that's about 35 hours I spent on the damn thing. I wonder if I should continue playing some day, because I think I actually kinda started enjoying it at some point. This may or may not have been caused by my brain gradually shutting itself off while I was playing the game.

What ever happened to Versus XIII? Versus XIII and (The other one. Agito?) are coming out next year. We hope. Versus was the only thing I liked about the '13 universe', especially considering the FF8-ish trailer. But the constant delays and the absolute lack of any new updates at all makes me very wary on the final product.

They should get to work on a Tactics game for PS360.

I've never been a huge Final Fantasy fan, but I'd be significantly more interested if they'd cut this recent crap of every game having a different, stupid gimmick.

"It is because of this that we ask our customers to be patient until we are able to confidently present them with a concrete plan outlining FINAL FANTASY XIV's new direction. The free trial period will be extended until that time."
This just in, FFXIV free for life.

14 just looks like a mess. I might be interested if they fix it up for the PS3 but I dont even know about that.

I liked both 12 and 13, so Same. And I don't think 11 was bad, it's more just that I don't like MMOs in general.

I want to like 13 but its soooo boring. AND I LOVE FINAL FANTASIES! Also I'm guessing no one has played 14? 13 was ok not great. I did like the ending to it though XIII almost killed my love for video games. The only good thing about the ending was the worst thing that has ever been created in any medium or I daresay all of reality is presumably dead. If you've beaten the game you'll know what I mean.

Terrible Interface (and that's coming from a Dwarf Fortress player), Horrible Lag, poor mechanics (magic is highly unreliable and it's not suggested to play as a mage), really buggy when I played it and seems to take up all of the CPU memory when running. Yeah, it has it's problems. Very pretty cutscenes though.

Well. Maybe it's time to kill the franchise at this rate. Have they ever had two really crap games in a row? Lots of em.

I loved and hated FFXIII,great characters,thought hope was adoreable (cant understand why so many dislike him,hes just a kid in a very bad situation,of course hes going to panic and worry,i loved his relationship with Lightning who seems to gain great fondness for him) and Lightning a really cool character,though i detested snow,the game looked gorgerous,amazing soundtrack...the gameplay let it down though,which of course is the main important of a video game.Ill always be a FF geek though and continue to buy every game that comes out bad reviews or not.

Well. Maybe it's time to kill the franchise at this rate. Have they ever had two really crap games in a row? I'd consider it three in a row with both 12 and 13 being very sub-par at best. Hell some would consider it 5 in a row (X-2, XI, XII, XIII and XIV). The last GOOD Final Fantasy for me was X, and that's really sad since it came out in 2001. No wonder people are hailing Atlus as the new JRPG Gods.

I've never seen the point in releasing games before they're ready. It's obvious that FF14 is a deeply flawed game and shouldn't have been released yet so why bother?
Would it have killed Square to wait half a year and release the game when all it's flaws, bugs, glitches etc have been ironed out?

I know what you mean I am surprised I beat the game. It was really hard to get into at first, but gets a little better towards the end. I had invested so much time into the damn game I couldn't not finish it.
