Trying to create an entirely new game engine, setting and story from the ground up. Sadly, it doesn't look like FFXIII is doing that much. Every new announcement and every new image just looks like they're trying to do something from the past games, but with a new coat of paint. I'm not surprised when a new person comes out and feels a little annoyed or even mad with how FFXIII is turning out, because it does just look like a conglomeration of FFVII, VIII and XII all mixed together with new characters and names. However, to keep using this excuse of 'oh JPOP and Japanese culture sucks' to get angry at the game is just getting sad. What do you think created the game for the last 20 years? What do you think the game is heavily INFLUENCED by? Try doing some research people. |
So we have people & blogs saying FF13 is breaking FF tradition & is too different
on the other hand we have people saying its the same style & basically a recycled FF8, FF7 & FF10 (which happen to be the popular ones...don';t blame them for going back to that style)
then we have people saying it should go back to its roots ala, FF9, FF1 - FF4 & so on (Of which FF9 & FF12 {medieval setting wise anyway} in a way did & both underperformed compared to FF8,7,10....even though other factors played a role here)
I can't help but be confused here
