I say more believable characters. Say what you will about Final Fantasy XIII being linear, but what killed it for me was the terrible writing. It felt like I was watching a really cliche anime...and I like anime!


there's always gonna be that guy who says something "controversial" that makes zero sense, don't be that guy.

Final Fantasy XIII greatest achievement was to break from cliched shounen anime story themes. such themes plagued jrpgs and made them painfully repetitive

then again I think FF XIII is a perfect example of a story being better than the mainstream crowd can appreciete. we are used to jrpgs stories treating us like little children. XIII was the first game in years that treated me like an adult


I couldn't disagree with you more lol. XIII was the most cliche generic FInal Fantasy I have ever played. I would literally feel embarassed to watch certain cutscenes just because of how cliche the dialogue was. It was literally painful. I didn't hate the game, but felt it wasn't all that strong.

I'm a huge Jrpg fan, and gaming enthusiast in general. I've played every FF except for 5. Don't call me "mainstream" just because I didn't care too much for a game that the main fanbase of the franchise actually doesn't like that much either.

alright you either give me one concreat arguement HOW THE HELL THE STORY WAS A CLICHE or i am reporting you for flaming.

terms you used were terrible, chiche, painful, generic, embarassed and NOT A SINGLE EXAMPLE. im waiting and mind you i've had a second playthrough recently

 

Are you serious? Everything I said is completely subjective. What, are you going to prove to me that my opinion is wrong?  I even said "what killed it for me". I never attacked the game outright.

I have a Laguna avatar, I'm a giant FF fan but I feel that while not deserving of a lot of the hate FFXIII gets (like for being linear, because that doesn't really bother me, or the whole "game plays itself" arguement) the writing was one thing I personally wasn't fond of. Not so much the story, but the dialogue between characters.

I seriously don't have to give you anything. Your are taking this way too seriously. You realize the majority of the fanbase didn't like the game right?
