| A203D said: According to the developers FF13 isnt an RPG either... @outlawaren, i brought this thread back because Mass Effect 3 goes on sale tommorow, with the possibility of a multiplatform release putting it on an even playing field with FF13-2. rather than insulting Mass Effect as the OP and other advocates have intended, it has backfired along with the quality and sales of FF13-2. poetic justice perhaps... |
Just to say, I've not gone into "hiding". Nor did I insult Mass Effect, as I precised that I had not played Mass Effect and that therefore the comparison never was about quality. I just wanted to point out that the hate towards FFXIII was not justified. It still isn't, because even though I do admit that Mass Effect and Elder Scroll have taken the lead in the RPG world, FFXIII-2 got positive feedback (save for gamrreview but it did let the reviewer know his review was unwelcomed), not to mention the fact it still shows legs and outsells Mass Effect 3 on PS3.
As we know, the probability of an FFXIII-3 is growing, and I'm the first one happy about this, because I can't get enough of the Lightning saga. Still, I don't expect FF to recover saleswise and it will probably more or less fall in a sort of big niche, far from the big western games. But I've gotten used to this, because JRPGs and WRPGs are 2 opposite things. But again, I admit my defeat.
