I'm a day 1 XIII truther. It was always good & everyone complaining about it just wanted to complain and now look... Pretty much no other final fantasy (save MAYBE the VII remake) has come close to XIII.

All of 13 was complete garbage from start to finish I struggled so hard through it just to finish. Don't get me started on the painful English VA's FF IX was the greatest of all Final Fantasy.

You missed a gigity after explaining the Shiva sisters.

I see more and more that "Comparison is the thief of joy." So many niche games that I've thoroughly enjoyed just to go online and figure out that x amount of people hated it for x reasons. Some reasons are valid and relatable. Most were things that didn't affect me and wasn't even a thought until i read someone's comment. After someone tried convincing me that "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time" ,was a bad game, that's when I realized that I put too much stock into other's opinions and will just enjoy the game for myself in whatever way that manifests for me.

I like KH2 so much. The story really gets to me. As someone in their 40s...the "summer vacation is over" line truly hits hard...your work is so good!

Ugh. The first complaint being that simple and clean doesn’t work here is. Ughhhh. Like. My god. It’s a spinoff. We’re not citing metal gear (the series where a guy notoriously hides in a cardboard box) as a good game…? Instantly not a credible source. Treat the OG games with the same level of cynicism. Like seriously. (This was my second KH game. 358/2 was my first) Yall cry about nostalgia bait and rose colored glasses. Yet for players who this was their introduction to the series, it’s comparatively stronger than KH1. Full stop.

Outer Wilds is such a beautiful game

Barthandalus design is crazy to me, (all falcie are, but Orphan and bart especially ) , otherworldly machine life from, the strange scriptures directly carved onto their twisted machine body , twisted yet clean ,their is a disturbing grace to them i believe . The music during the fight only add to that feeling. I'm big fan of the design of ff13 enemies. Great video btw. 3 hours well spend i say. thx you

@1:33:45 Ayyy, Get My Rope! 🎶

I used to really like the theory that Jeremy Fitzgerald is Cassie’s dad, but The Week Before stated that the Bite of 87 victim “isn’t doing much anymore” implying Jeremy is probably a vegetable.

at around the 5:30 mark, when you're talking about the spacesuit, a realization hit me. TH's core has the same speckled rock look at the ATP, another subtle hint at its location.

F this game Thank you

KH3 Vid cant come soon enough

This trend of suddenly calling ff13 a good game is unreal. It is still the death of the series. It still has weird awkward characters and poor combat with a poor upgrade system. I dont even agree that this a good game if it was called something else. I've tried 3 times to play it now over the years and I just cant. The motorbike eidolon is corny as hell. I played ff, ff2, mystic quest, ff6, ff7, tactics, ff8,9,10,102,12,14,15... 13 is trash compared to all of those.

This game to me, is what OAT is to the zelda series. The peak. I feel like its why all the games since just havent felt as good and why KH3 gets such a bad rap, personally, I think 3 is really good, but it aint 2 and that will always be the problem. Hopefully 4 can reach that peak, or at least get close the way BOTW and Tears did for Zelda

So big question are you going to do a story analysis on the union trilogy and dark road

The criticism of unkown terms is one that can be applied to the vast majority of fiction. No one gave Tolkien that criticism.

The game is dogshit still

Final Fantasy XIII: good, if you actually understand it (the game does absolutely nothing to make you want to though).

paz does not shut up wow

i never really understood why nuclear disarmament wasn't possible irl, i would without hesitation give up my nukes and i'm a pretty selfish person.

shittle gear wanker

Fun fact, u dont have to beat wonderland, olympus, monstro or traverse town lol literally can skip them entirety

Been loved it for day one knew y’all were bugging just wish the game had more secret bosses and summons

God I love this game, I’m so glad it’s getting the love now that it deserved, brilliant video, just made me realise how much I love this game, and just the series in general.

Excuse me I was just playing this beautiful trilogy as I got my ps5 trough Amazon. No idea how emotional I am the moment when I just passed that final boss and had to save before putting away my ps3 and playing FFXVI

It annoys me how everybody leans on linearity both as a surface-level criticism of this game and yet also as this idea of a "weak" argument to be torn down. There's so much else wrong with it that's got nothing to do with its linearity, like the atrocious party AI, the characters being fundamentally unlikeable and annoying, the story being told in a fashion that creates more confusion than mystery, the fact the story fails to make any sense once it's properly laid out (there are fal'Cie who can talk, which just completely breaks the narrative over its knee,) the fabled "open" section is a glorified grind spot with a bunch of stones talking about how hard it is to use paradigm shift, the English voice acting being painfully average because the actors were likely sick of recording the whole script five times over, and the battles in general just becoming extremely repetitive. Funnily enough, _all_ those things are a transparent by-product of the game's messy development, and the linearity is just another part of that. You can see the intended openness in so many areas with random barriers thrown in and how there just wasn't time to make use of that, because it's really obvious they had to throw the game together in an asset centipede to release something, but there's so much more depth to what an awful game it is beyond "I can't believe I have to run in a straight line a lot." The other de facto "worst" game in the series is FF2, and that was about as linear as a Jackson Pollock.

Just got this game on a steam sale. I cant wait to play through it again. One of my favorite final fantasies. Im glad to see more people getting into it!

While watching this I realized that Final Fantasy 13 is so relevant today, more relevant than ever. It's about propaganda and conspiracy brainwashing one populace against another, and how overcoming their lack of knowledge and coming together makes the world a better place. Serah's theme, when thinking about 13 from that perspective, gave me chills.

UA-cam Algorithm gods, push this channel unto a million other feeds like you have bestowed it upon mine. Please. The people deserve to get acquainted.

18:12 This is why I think melee keyblades have such a bad wrap. The power focused keyblades DO have the shorter combos that can reach their finishers faster, but the thing is, all of the early game melee keyblades are combo keyblades, which are so bad that I just... used Kingdom Key instead on my melee playthrough. For example I'm cleaning up mission mode, and even with the stronger enemies compared to the base game, most enemies take an entire bar to the 2 hit aerial combo, and a similar amount the relatively fast 4 hit ground combo of Twilight Blaze, and it's not like I'm locked out of magic either, they still do a solid amount of damage even without the dedicated keyblades.

i wish pokemon would have a battle system like this

Awesome video! I love that you keep up with the aesthetics of the game! I think I'm actually going to use this as a source for an essay about video game sound design :D

Judge the game by the time it came out and in comparison to other game of the same franchise and genre It's a very weak final fantasy game with a watered down FF8 style gameplay, and a story that's just an extra material bait which is apparent from how square trying to expand such an uninteresting universe

This game feels like a beta version of a game. With over the top cut scenes; that dont match. In many ways what a 2d era game made into a direct 3d rendition would be.

Ugh, hidden political stance before the 10 minute mark. To clearify, I do think this is actually a pretty good analysis. Its just that real world politics and religious stances creep into entertainment too often for my taste. Its way too present these days, and I think its okay to just talk about fun things without the need to tell me how you dont like how other people live their lives.

55:15 it’s a simple timeloop/grandfather paradox, Xemnes doesn’t exist until Xehanort falls, so he falls, making Ansem, Xemnes didn’t develop yet as Nobodies teleport away and form fully later on, he brought this version of himself, Nobody Xehanort or Xemnes, to the point in time that he interacted with Sora on destiny islands, showing the reason for his existence and letting him watch Ansem through Riku, helping him set the cards on the metaphorical table in as close to perfect order for Xehanort as possible, eventually leading to KH Re:COM and the other games, meaning he must’ve known about Ventus and Sora to cue these events up, but his time travel is imperfect, so he had to merely look at things then try to influence the events that he could, making sure his destiny to form the true organization XIII would come to pass not just in general, but in one VERY specific way that should’ve let him win

Your lucky I’m used to smt combat points, or I’d be digging at you with a new joke every time you say “CP” 😂

54:21 sora didn’t manipulate her, he was honest, it hurts him because of how she messes up his memories, but he’ll protect her either way, because fake or not that promise was real to Sora in this moment

Nah, ffxiii sucks. Pure trash, made by the crap sellers that are making their games now. Theeeey suuuuuck.

I was okay until my disc magically to stop working

1:06:17 this sounds like the game was designed around turn based and made into action 1/4 way through development

I love 13 so much. I pee a little.

Final Fantasy XIII had some problems but when it’s good, it’s good. For example, I feel like the first dozen hours or so (IIRC) is just a tutorial with plot. However, if you can push through that, it only gets better.

Yeah i was there from the beginning. When it dropped it was my first final fantasy ever. Xbox 360 era. Never forget it. Sucks you can't buy it on Playstation anywhere. Like wtd

I always really liked the 13 trilogy, specifically the latter 2 games. Since I was a teen, I batted for it in the same way I batted for X-2(the other FF I hear people always bagging on.) I enjoyed the first game enough, but 13-2 is where it really shined for me. Serah became one of ym favorite characters in the franchise. The transition from a damsel in distress and love interest of "The hero", as he says, in the first game to one of the main characters in the second and having some cool battle moments to boot was so good. But it was more than just her being able to fight. She had agency in the plot and moved it forward through her actions. She had a goal and worked towards it. She had interactions and characters relations with other characters that went so far beyond Snow that it felt like /he/ was the side love interest. It was refreshing to seeing a grown woman in a relationship not have that relationship define her, just be a part of who she is. Noel was too an amazing character imho. Hope's growth was great to see. And 13:LR was also a really fun game and an amazing return for Lightning.

1:14:46 always thought the voice acting in this part was top notch.

13 has my single favorite mechanic in the game. The Libra page or whatever, the name isn’t important it’s what it does. The fact that it’s a page that tells you an enemy’s weaknesses and resistances BUT, only after you hit them with that thing. It just basically marks down “water, good”, “fire, bad”, “sleep, immune”. And I love that as a system. Like, yes I could individually remember what every one of the hundreds of enemies is weak to, sure, but I’m so glad I can hit one button and see what past me discovered already. It doesn’t put anything on the hud in combat that screams “they’re weak to fire!” So if you want to remember it all yourself you can, and the fact that it’s so quick to access with one button is fantastic for people who want to use it. Favorite system, best implementation of it too, imo.

If you shift paradigms at the last animation frame of the last atb action, you will skip the animation for the change and be at full atb.
