If there is something I can make out of this thread is that Final Fantasy XIII still sucks. I do have to admit that objectively the game can't be that bad because sales where quite decent.

Yes, sales are the best way to determine if a game is "objectively good". After all, if thousands upon thousands of people liked the game then it's pretty likely that the game is doing something right.

Only if you ignore the immense impact of marketing. I'm sure there are plenty of people that purchased the game and regretted it... I know c'os I'm one of them

It's like the quality of a politician being based on how much of the vote he recieved, while ignoring factors like how much the campaign cost him, or whether or not he ran a clean and fair campaign.

So many years and people still complain about this game. They are not as good as previous entries, but they are decent games. ff13-2's battle system and soundtrack is awesome.

It's not fair but it's one way of seeing things.

We can assume that FF XIII is of less quality than other Final Fantasy titles though! As it recieved multiple sequels that did pretty bad commercially, compared to other Final Fantasy titles. Therefore we can conclude that the whole FF XIII saga was indeed a very bad idea and they should have ended it after the first game.

I also regretted spending money on the game and lots of people did too. This problem is reflected in their sequels sales.

XIII-2 is the best of the bunch gameplay-wise. I don't know what S-E was thinking with Lightning Returns...

Indeed, although I haven't played LR more than those 15 minutes of demo so I don't really know if they screw up with the gameplay.

The battle system is still fine, but it baffles me as to why S-E would structure the game similarly to Majora's Mask, of all things. o.O

Yeah, I heard more people upset for the time thing than the game itself. Guess I have to try myself, but I don't have money due to infamous ss x)

I'd probably like it more if the entire game felt centered around the time loop. S-E did something similar with the Drop system in KH3D, and it turned me off on an otherwise fun game. I stopped after the Tron world, because I figured that it would be the high point.

I have kh3d but I don't have 3ds so I don't know exactly what you mean xD
