Why FFXIII doesn't "feel" like a FF game

Actually, Elder Wyrm wasn't as tough as it seemed to be, because you would learn Esuna in Eyrut Village (Fran's hometown). Though, it helped me to have a full party with White Magicks capacities, so probably that was a plus for me :P 

In terms of toughness on FFXII, nothing beats this guy right here:

 
Who can forget his 50% instant death Darkja (25% if you used Auto-Shell or Demon's Shields) or his innate ability to spam Scathe. Plus his Paling and Magick Barrier made for a seriously frustrating battle in the end, if you weren't lucky to one shot him with a 12-hit Quickening plus Dark Hole.

On a side note, where's the guy who accused me of never playing FFXII? :P  

You said that FFXII didn't have the typical "triumph" music, he proved you wrong, hence why he said that you never played FFXII :P

You don't have to say you are sorry, I know you must feel pretty stupid now by saying it didn't have that music and how FFXII was your favorite FF :P

It doesn't have reason 1, because you fight directly from the screen, no extra area like every other FF, FFXIII included, and I give you that I missed reason 2, which frankly I missed because there are only 12 battles in the entire game that had the final theme and I played the game some 3 years ago, so I wasn't remembering them.

The majority of the fights in the game, even the Hunts, didn't have the original theme, only the espers fights. So no, I don't feel stupid and no, he had no reason to acusse me of that. Me and Khuutra are few of the members here who defend FFXII and have been defending it for some time now, you can check my post history on FF threads.

My point is that he jumped to a stupid and obnoxius conclusion without even knowing whom he was addressing to.
