I was hoping they never remake FF VII, all the charm of the original would be gone. It would probably end up something like Advent Children, witch sucked IMO. If they do remake it, hopefully it will put an end to all the spinoffs and movies and let the FFVII brand rest.

I will bet money that the FF VII remake will not be announced at E3 this year.

It's gotten to the point of insulting that Squeenix has remade a bunch of FF's except for FF VII despite the fact that there are a veritable plethora of people that actually want that game.

Aww I apologize for that.

Final Fantasy 13 was disappointing because it was very dumbed down from other FF games. The game itself had about 3 hours of interesting stuff, and the rest was all fluff and filler.

* No towns
* All battles were just scripted waves in the hundreds; their purpose felt more or less to waste time
* Economic system was unintuitive - many people didn't even realize it existed
* The player was pushed along, rather than moving along at their own pace
* The plot and characters lacked the depth of almost every other Final Fantasy game released since 1994.

Actully FF13 is NOT an RPG and it was never meant to be. acording to producer Yoshinori Kitase and director Motmato Toriyama, FF13 is not designed to be an RPG, its designed to be more like an FPS - inspired by Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Lost the TV series.

the "game" is a POS interactive movie designed by a team who dont understand games are meant to be played not watched.

and FF13-2's sales will prove that the fans have not accepted the abominations they have had to endure with the FF7 compilation, The 3rd Birthday, FF10-2 and now FF13! Hinorobu Sakaguchi would never have allowed FF to become what it has today!

Not just the story. I loved the music, world, art design, presentation, battle system and the pacing as well. Basically EVERYTHING...apart from the linearity.

And I don't call people trolls for having a different opinion, I call them trolls for stalking Final Fantasy XIII threads and pissing everybody off, these people are obsessed with putting this game down.

I'm a huge fan of JRPG's, my favourite game of all time is Final Fantasy VII, I even loved the 2D JRPG's like Chrono Trigger...Yet I still like FFXIII. No need to be so patronising towards people who like FFXIII, most of which ARE hardcore JRPG fans.

And I'm not saying that everybody has to love the game, I acknowledged people like many times in my comments, some people just don't like linearity, don't put words in my mouth.

And yes, the steps Square Enix took with FFXIII were brave. While they did simplify the game, it hardly appeals to the masses, what kind of person would stop playing Halo / COD to play FFXIII? Nobody. The only time Square Enix seemed to be appealing to the masses was when, in interviews, they said they took inspiration from Halo and COD (I did the worlds biggest facepalm after I heard them say that).

Just because the game is linear doesn't mean it isn't a JRPG, if FFXIII isn't a JRPG, then neither is FFX, because I think these games are almost identical.

And I can take criticism hence the reason why I criticised the damn game myself, AND acknowledged others people's criticisms against the game as well. You put words in my mouth and insult me for something I didn't even say?

And why do you disagree with me about the Metacritic scores, and then go on to say the exact same thing I said? People either love the game or hate the game which is the reason why it averaged out at an 83.

It seems you are trying to make an argument out of nothing, in pretty much all of my comments I have REPEATEDLY acknowledged the criticism's against FFXIII yet you completely ignore them and go on to insult or patronise me.

Read my comments more carefully, and stop being such an FFXIII hater, you are already building up a reputation for trolling FFXIII threads.

I'll leave it at that.

Again, it's critiscm of the game, I'm sorry you take it too personally when people point out flaws to a game you like (which strangely you are agreeing with a lot of my points but are getting worked up because them). I'd also hardly call it stalking (me or anyone else), I'm usually notified (look at my wall right now) when news of FF hits the forums. And I naturally reply. When a topic is posted people will post their opinion. Whether you can take it or not is another story. I'm not gonna go around accusing every living soul who doesn't like the game a stalker. That's not how I debate. Matter of fact no one should ever use or resort to such a tactic to defend a game they like. It actually further proves my point that the game is not that good because you are arguing by labeling and name-calling.

You starting this argument then ending it on that note is a perfect example. I don't appreciate being called a troll when I'm only arguing. My reputation of disliking XIII is only because I was known as a Soft/Enix fan before I shocked VGC with how disappointed I am with the game.

Also, In response to people saying the scores were amazing, I said the score was not 'that great.' Notice, Although I personally believe XIII is the worst FF, I never used the metacritic score to imply that it's the worst game everzz.  You mistaken-ed it as an assault and blew it out of proportion, even lost the context in which it was presented.And I believe I was the one who mentioned how people either hated it liked it with my first post in this thread, whether you said that before me or not (which I doubt) makes no difference. We agree on that.

I have got a platinum in this game so I like to think I know the ins and outs of this game more than most people. Compared to final fantasies of old it just doesnt cut it. The battlemechanics are shallow, the storyline was pretentious, the characters were average, no side quests or towns. Yeah the graphics are great but I dont care about the graphics when everything else was pretty average. The amazing thing about the game was, once I completed the storyline and tried to plat the game, it actually became really fun. That is not a good sign unfortunately. I dont understand why people think square enix games are the second coming of christ and that theu can do no wrong. I am an rpg collector and In my collection of over 70 rpgs this would be in the average pile. 

I find that extremely hard to believe actually, is that really true?
