This is what Final Fantasy 13 would have been, had Sakaguchi not left Square.


His track record since leaving square hasnt been great so i beg to differ ^^

This is his first major project since leaving Square.

It also looks way better than FF13 turned out to be. FF13 severely damaged the Final Fantasy brand, but with the way Last Story has turned out, it looks like a worthy successor; I would say a good spiritual successor to the series up until FF10, the last FF game he worked on.

The Last Story looks nothing like FF10. If anything FF13 is the spiritual successor to that mediocre game.

Kind of arrogant calling it mediocre when FF10 is one of the most critically and commercially successful RPGs of all time. It was the last Final Fantasy game that Sakaguchi worked on; that's why I draw the mark there.

Arrogant? Even FFXIII is critically successful and extremely successful commercially. FF12 is critically successful too, that doesn't stop me from calling them out. I even call out Call Of Duty.

FFX made many mistakes that were repeated in FFXIII (Linearity, 2 dimensional characters, terrible dialogue and the list goes on). Sakaguchi's involvement in FFX was actually quite limited. FFX's positive reception encouraged Toriyama and Kitase to make FFXIII in the form it was released in, thinking they could get away with mediocrity for a second time. Thankfully this time fans realized how mediocre the game really was. So yes I hold FFX fully responsible for how FFXIII turned out because all the mistakes FFX made were just made again in FFXIII on a bigger level. Now however I would hope Kitase & Toriyama got the message.
