Thats crap IMHO. Are you talking the Fabula nova whatever?? Versus 13 and Agito/Type0 have nothing to do with each other. Even if they dl its very little, which means their is no excuse for the narrative in 13, to be that bad, should have been one and done, hell the fact that they actually removed Type0 from the compilation shows that the whole tied together thing was crap to begin with. If you're talking sequels, thats still crap, i dont want to have to wait years and pay 60 bucks to find out the whole story. Comic books, shows and even movies can get away with that because they are cheaper and come out more regulary. 13 compilation sucks, badly. 7 and Ivalice alliance were much better because SE BUILT on the orginal games mythology(7 and Tactics). 13 is ass backwards with mythology first and then story |
You are totally right that the entire collection of FF13 etc games is abysmal. I just completed 13-2 and it is PAINFULLY clear that the game wasn't planned at all. They admitted before that they had quite a lot of content left over. We then get a game that is actually incredibly small and features a few areas just altered slightly. The time travel aspect acts as a way that they can simply link all these random places together.
After completing 13-2 I'm actually geniunely angry that the people who wrote it have jobs. It is in all seriousness the WORST piece of writing in any media I have ever seen. I would put it on the same level as badly written fan-fiction. All complete nonsense that doesn't fit in with 13 and that lacks any sense of internal logic. There are so many ridiculous plot devices strewn through the game that you can barely move for them.
Once again we get a game where Etro is actually the most important part of the entire thing by a million miles. Yet is barely even grazed upon. The timeline stuff is honestly like a joke. There are so many plot holes and happy coincidences that I'm not sure if the game is actually meant to be funny. Characters still constantly act against character or however they feel. I'm still 100% convinced no-one at Square has ever had feelings for anyone judging from the writing for the characters. If Square had written Romeo and Juliet then when Romeo comes upon Juliet's lifeless body he would have just gone ''Aw shucks kid'' and walked off whistling. It feels like watching a comedy only it's all being done straight faced, like someone crossed Lost and Futurama badly.
Next game Square need to either fire everyone on the writing team and bring in an entirely new team or go right back to utter basics. To quote a review in part of British newspaper ''If FF13-2 were a film, it would be the worst you've ever seen''
