Forums - Gaming - FF XIII is a lot more better than I anticipated

If I remember correctly FF8 was the one which the world leveled up with your character. I hated that. It kind of kills the idea of leveling up to take on the main boss. That's what made the game seem so challenging.

I for one loved that.

That's true, but you could get certain spells quickly through various means and boosts Squall's strength. Then you get some HP-Junction, keep him at low hp and Renzokuken your way through the game.



Vanille was the reason I rated FFXIII a 7 instead of a 6



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

huh!? Vanille is actually very usefull in the game she has some of best and most needed magic in the game. I think snow was the most useless character. They made you play without him for so long that i never ever incorporated him into my style, he was my least used character


Talking about the story, Vanille being out of it *literally* wouldn't have affected it all.

I was looking at your collection. Did you even play FFXIII?

You must have missed the fact FF13 was in my collection.

Yeah, the game's strongest point really was the characters in both the emotional impact with the story and in the battle system as you said. I have to say though, I found the Sentinel class fairly useless except for certain boss fights.

My biggest criticism was the lack of side-quests (they were all just battles) and towns for a bit of respite from the battles and story. With those I think the game would be near perfection for me.



Vanille is useful, she has the death spell, which is very good for grinding



There are no useless characters in FFXIII. Everyone is useful in battle in their own way, and they all play a vital role in the story. FFXIII has some of the most decorated and well-developed characters I've witnessed in a JRPG this generation.

You're borderline trolling Vanille, as usual. If you didn't pay attention to FFXIII story, then it's your problem.

OT - FFXIII is a good FF game, that had a potential to be better though.

Borderline?

I'm full-out trolling that annoying character. She's relatively useless to the storyline and her voice makes me want to kill myself.
