Final Fantasy XIII series sold over 10 million games, do they deserve it?

No imo... I don't think FFXIII was the FF we all wanted to have in the 7th generation... Its Auto-Battle, mostly terrible characters (Looking at you Snow) as well as no real party system (in the sense where you can control more than one person during battle) and many other reasons, I don't think it deserves that many units at all...

Just out of curiosity, do you like Kingdom Hearts? It's a beloved series but does everyone know that you can only control one character in battle? It would be nice if you elaborate as to why the game is bad including how much of it you did play.

On topic, yeah it deserves the sales. FFXIII-2 wasn't as good and it sold lower which was deserved as well.

I played FFXIII for about 3-4 hours before I stopped playing it completely... Granted that is not much time but if it failed to grab my attention by then, I am not willing to spend my time until it does... As for KH, I have a mixed experience of it... The story is good, the gameplay is good and there are a few neat plot twists here and there but what really breaks the game for me is the Disney Characters... I understand that they aren't a big deal to many people but when there are scenes where you have to sing and dance with the god damn little mermaid and her fish friends, I just can't continue...

And I think Fury give you pretty good reasons as to why FFXIII doesn't deserve the sales... The characters are just so bad imo... and its so damn liner... I understand that once you get to over 15 hours into the game the world opens up but by that time, its just too late...

The main reason we are so harsh on Square is cause they made some of the best games ever made but recently for the past few years, their games have not been up to par at all which is really sad... We are so desperate for a real FF game that we are now relying on games like Bravely Default and X to give us that FF Experience cause it almost seems as though square can't deliver anymore... That may change with FFXV but until it comes out, there is no way to know for sure
