It's a shame XIII was held back by its restrictive gameplay because the story, characters and art direction are among the best we've ever seen in a video game.
@@alexisauld7781 I am ready for this conversation actually cause i've completed both games multiples times. I'm not only talking about combat (though X offers much more freedom in how you develop characters) but in X there are plenty of things you can do outside of fighting like sidequests and mini-games that break the linearity of the game (Al bhed primers, secret dungeons, celestial weapons quests, secret aeons) In XIII there is not a single minigame or sidequest to be found in the game, not a single NPC or town, the only thing you have is cie'th stones missions which consist of more fighting.
Just out of curiousity, as I agree with everything you've said, what did you think of the combat system seeing as you didn't mention it? Unless you included it with "restrictive gameplay" of course.
Tbh, the combat system is just marvelous. If only we could play as the 3 members of the party and not just one, and despite that and how long battles actually are, the combat is really funny but it takes some time to the story to give you the freedom to explore it properly
Most people playing on glitchy steam version and didn't have proper PC at time, that's why many people don't get it. Everyone who play it at ps3 and x360 at launch definitely love FFXIII.
@@librashooterI don’t lol. Autopilot combat system and not much freedom of exploration. Story was definitely a little confusing to me as well. The characters (except vanille, I cannot stand this character) are super cool though.
@@lone-dmc9174 idk they are all overrated, especially tifa ( Aerith is an exception tho, she’s cool) And Fang is even better both design wise and personality wise
Even if it wasn't I would love to see the series for the PS4, PS5, and Switch. Love to play it on the go! They put others also on the 4 and Switch so why not XIII Series? 😊
this was the last "Quality" at least Graphic Wise Final Fantasy Game we got (at least for me), The graphics and the CGI cutscenes are steel good for a 2009 game. they were ground breaking at that time and a lot of color (at that time we had all those brownish/sepia games like Killzone2, resistance, MGS4, that lacked color palettes).
@@Genderkaiser eh idk Eiko provided some interesting worldbuilding and exposition especially for Madain Sari and the summoners. As far as little kid characters go she isn't the worst
Cant believe im back here after so many years! This is by far the best cinematic cutscene in a final fantasy ever! FFXIII was my first game and it will be special to me despite the hate the game has gotten. No one can deny the graphics are pehnomenal!
I think that this game's soundtrack is the best in the series - the composition is genius all-around. Like when the motif from Blinded By Light plays as the sun comes out at 0:17? Pure genius. It's a shame that this OST doesn't get as much love because it didn't have the name "Nobuo Uematsu" tied to it
The graphics really are something great. A shame SE seems to wanna distance itself from FF13. If that series had better handling and direction it could have done great. I’m glad to see more people are giving it attention again though
@Good For Nutting I hated LR when I played it 💀💀 It was the hardest game I've played. I literally couldn't beat the game cuz the final boss was too hard. So I had to watch the video of the ending and was super disappointed too.
@Good For Nutting Yup, that's the worst trophy in the game, you just have to make sure you get every of those treasure spheres in each areas until you get to Grand Pulse cuz you can't revisit them. Even then the game don't reward you gald after battles which makes the grinding even more tedious, I deadass had to use a guide online so that I can keep check of every accessories I've got. 😭
@Good For Nutting They did good with 15.. though, I wish they kept doing more of the cgi's during random times of the game~ I love how often it was with 13
I hope so. I've been wanting to play it for a while now. I played 15 and hated it. 16 I haven't played yet. Last ff I liked were 12 and the psp dissidias.
I know Square has an impressive portfolio when it comes to good cutscenes, but this is definitely up there as one of my favorites. It just does such a good job at conveying the sense of adventure and camaraderie that you usually want from an rpg.
I loved the game. I must find time and replay the trilogy. Lightning and Fang joining is one of my favourite parts of Lightning Returns, actually. I wish it was a longer segment, having her and Lightning banter on the road and travel together more, but it served its purpose well as it is. Brilliant. 😊 And just for DLC or something, I would have loved to have Fang be a playable character; traversing to the edges of this dying world with her fellow bandits and maybe Lightning, hunting for important treasures and exploring long-forgotten ruins. During all that, we can learn more about her state of mind but from her perspective this time. What I saw in her and what she had become saddened me. Poor Fang. 😭
Can't believe that this looks almost on pair with FFXV or 7R CGI. I really hope they don't make Cloud and the others in Rebirth look like anime chars again...
Amen! It does have it's fair share of problems but I believe if people were to revisit it today they would think more fondly of it. It's such a magical game.
There where several reasons why FF13 was the Reason why i bought my PS3 back in the Days, and its effing hard to say ''Back in the Days'', fudge i'm getting old...
0:40 In the spanish sub, the joke is way funnier since they said something like "it wants a 'Light' dinner", which is more hilarious because lightning answers to that comment :P
Why would anyone from Cocoon or Gran Pulse take up arms against one another? Gran Pulse's military and civilization are completely spent after the War of Transgression, as we *clearly* see in XIII, and XIII-2 shows very well that many people of Cocoon are no longer under the Pulse-hating propaganda of the Sanctum government and its Cocoon Fal'Cie. Though the people still live independently on dormant Cocoon, it is with a newly-elect government. They even know very well that two l'Cie born on Gran Pulse saved their home, Cocoon, by erecting the Crystal Piller. A portion of Gran Pulse has even become a tourist attraction one can visit at will via the elevator built between the two worlds. There is no reason for either of the two worlds to fight in any way, especially considering their conflict was completely misguided, built on lies. Them fighting again will completely undo the plot of XIII. The time travel story happen because Etro mistakingly screwed up by assisting the Pulse I'Cie at the end of XIII. Her reaching out from the Unseen Realm, where time is unmoving, tore the fabrics of time in the Seen Realm. This is explained in XIII-2 and Lightning Returns. This time travel storyline also serves as part of the foundation for the events of Lightning Returns' story.
Eidolons: just come out when the L'Cie call them anyways Lightning: let me shoot that Crystal just because 😂 girl let Fang have her moment in peace you don't need to do every cool thing in the game ... this is one of the reasons i liked XIII-2 better
I played this game for the first time in 2023 and was blown away by how it looks and sounds even today. Ive played PS4 games that didnt look half as good as FF13.
I also love how synergized the group is at this point in the game. After hours of bickering, bitching, and moaning they care so much about one another and are in such sync at this point its kinda magical. Snow's "Fang, get em!" and her immediate leap out of the airship to catch Vanille and Hope is so perfect. I really loved 13 and especially how it develops into this group dynamic.
The scene when the airship hits the ground is unrealistic. It stays in one piece even after the collision with presumably very high speed, like your kids toy hitting the floor after falling.
Expecting realism from a Final Fantasy game, lol. 😂 Sorry, forgive me. I often forget there are people who have never played a Final Fantasy game before. Don't get into this franchise if you primarily want realism. I am warning you now, you will be disappointed - outraged even. Otherwise, play the games in this franchise, you may enjoy them. You can start with any of them. There are many, each with a new setting, new characters, and new story to really sink your teeth into. I recommend VII and VIII. They are excellent, in my opinion, but you should ultimately get to decide which to play. I guarantee Final Fantasy XXX will be _your_ favourite if it comes out in your lifetime. 🍑🍆😏 You may want to learn how to extend your lifespan to experience it. The company which makes these games, Square Enix, kind of has a reputation of taking years to release a new title. Such a reputation would make George R. R. Martin look like Stephen King by comparison. George R. R. Martin and Stephen King are very successful authors, by the way. Anyway, this is a warship built by Pulse Fal'Cie, obviously built to withstand attacks from Cocoon Fal'Cie, l'Cie, and their weapons. I know all these terms are foreign to you, so let me explain. You see, my dear lad; *l'Cie* are these (potentially) powerful magic-weilding humans from this universe, they are primarily used for warfare just like this warship is, l'Cie even travelled around in it. *Fal'Cie* are these very powerful beings (almost gods compared to humans) that can choose which humans are to be given these powers. They too have great magical abilities, but such that can easily eclipses l'Cie magic. *Cocoon* is the name of the futuristic world that four of the six characters in this scene live. *Gran Pulse* (the place where the warship was made and "unrealistically" crashed) is the world where the two lovely-looking tribal girls live (one girl is the redhead with a very high-pitched voice and was sucked out of the warship with that boy, the other is darker in complexion and has a beautiful blue Sari-like outfit on🥻). In this scene, they are going to Gran Pulse, a world where there are more things like that warship and worse roam about, all built by the same thing - a Fal'Cie. In this universe, most of these types of weapons are autonomous. The cute redhead girl called them "an army of living weapons" just a couple scenes prior to this one. She said this in a place filled with them. They can be a chore to fight if you are under-leveled...and those were the easy ones in comparison. What I am saying is that these weapons, including the warship, are very strong, built to withstand devastating magic and weapons. In this game, you get to perform some of these very powerful abilities, because the six people in this scene are l'Cie. That is how the woman with the Sari-like outfit was able to summon that awesome flying monster called Bahamut. All the characters have the l'Cie power to summon their own special monster. Play the game (it's called Final Fantasy XIII), you will very clearly see many examples of Pulse military weapons forged by the same hand (Fal'Cie, very powerful god-like beings) as this warship withstanding powerful magic and even Cocoon's very refined modern weaponry. Don't worry, you will know when a weapon from Gran Pulse is on screen, because the characters will say so in dialogue. In other cases, when you have to fight one of these things, some would have the word "Pulse" acting as a sort of prefix to what they are just above their health bar (example: Pulse Knight). In video games, a health bar is typically a green bar just above the thing you are fighting. It gets smaller and smaller when you hit the enemy. When it's empty, that typically means they are defeated.
That warship was built to withstand very powerful magic and weapons, though. It was made literally built god-like beings called Fal'Cie, built to defend its passengers from other Fal'Cie and their l'Cie. It is not going to break simply by crashing...especially when both Fal'Cie and l'Cie can do much worse to it.
@@ClaireYunFarronXIII I have been a long-time FF fan, I finished VII through XIII except for the online and spin-off series. You are right, you don't generally expect realism from FF game. For instance the most unrealistic aspect of FF X, my fav series, is that people can hold their breath unrealistically long to play blitzball, or other theory spiran people can breathe under water. I was probably upset with the part of the video I criticized above more because of my disappointment with XIII. Didn't enjoy playing it at all. In all other series, I almost always grind once in a while or try to get some rare equipments, but I didn't do these with XIII. The lack of interaction with npc makes the series no fun anymore. I like this aspect of the other series because these interactions are where the access to secret stuffs like side quests or items are often preceded with.
It's scenes likes this makes me wonder why they had that awful ff movie in the early 2000s which did not have one iconic creature/Cid/element in that movie rather than something like any of the FF games. A movie with great graphics alone does not make it a FF product.
Here's the game description for all three games. Game play = shit Story = hard to follow, complex, and its all over the place Music = good as always with final fantasy Graphics = Beautiful That sums up to trash for me. Why? The game play is absurdly stupid even to the point of making me want to die and the story (the main reason why I play a game at all now) is to complex for its own good. I mean they could've explored the entire planet of pulse but no we have to time travel and play with the dumbest trope to ever exist which is kill the creator of the universe, God. A God exists outside the concept of time and death if they created the universe. Not to be confused with a god of a certain part of the universe which in pagen religions can be killed. Reference to Egyptian, Greek, Norse, Celtic, and Mesopotamian mythology.
You: *Hates these games* Also you: *clicks on this video* What an absolutely strange thing to do. Maybe I should click on things I hate and say how much they suck with little to no constructive thought-out feedback as I see here. The story was easy to understand to those who simply had their eyes and ears open throughout, which is how you are suppose to consume a story, especially one this complex. It's simple. It won't spoon-feed you, if that's what you want. Don't expect that. Also, why and how can we explore the entire planet of Gran Pulse when 99% of it is just a ruin? There would be no difference. Most of Gran Pulse, expect for the City of Paddra, is like what we already explored...but in a different place. All you would find is thousands of ruined cities and empty villages, wildlife as we already saw them, Cie'th as we already saw them, uncaring Fal'Cie here and there, and maybe a few nomads here and there; most of this we already see, why see more if it does not aid the plot? I guarantee you would complain about it being repetitive...because it may be. And how could they even get around when Gran Pulse airships are scarce? Why would the venture so far? And if you mean to time travel to a time before the great war...why? One of the questions of the XIII trilogy is the exact fate and fortune of Gran Pulse. That should be left more ambiguous since most records of Gran Pulse's fall was written by the bias victors...as we expect with any war...especially one that began over six centuries ago with very few survivors from Gran Pulse. We XIII fans would love to see more...but as DLCs or something, not in the main game. Only fans of the games, which you are not, would go out and get those, anyway. When did the God of this universe die? Bhunivelze was put into a crystal slumber by Lightning, the saviour, with the abilities he granted her. He can return from that crystal sleep...as he did the first time. Who knows how long that would take, though. But he may wake. His reign is just stalled. And why are you applying our world rules to a fictional story? (Well, all the Gods in our world are also fictional, let that be clear). Bhunivelze is not even the sole creator of this universe, his mother had a huge part in that before he usurped her, then he changed things. Lightning even fought him in the Realm of the Gods...which is not influenced by time. We saw the effect of this place twice. In Lightning Returns, time was unmoved just like in Valhalla. And in XIII-1, Dajh became a Cocoon l'Cie in a blink of an eye in real time, but was taken to this place to be branded by Lindzei...which would have taken some time, as we saw when Lightning and her companions were branded by Pulse. And let me remind you that Bhunivelze did not die. Bhunivelze and Fal'Cie do not "die," they become dormant. That means they can be awoken again. We saw this with Orphan and Etro, (kind of with Atomos). We also saw the same with Eden firsthand, but the concept was abandoned. These beings cannot be killed in the way you think. Only Ragnarok (and their creators) can forever end Fal'Cie. And what is "the gameplay"? This trilogy has two different gameplay systems...which are quite different from one another, but you are acting as though there is only one system. You are saying both are bad and not being specific? I doubt it. I assume you are just being hyperbolic, which is not good.
@@ClaireYunFarronXIII mmm.... Ok so you like the latest ff games I hate them 14 & 15 weren't good either but the game play did improve alittle bit. I'm a fan of the franchise not the multiple series in it. Don't get me wrong the characters could have been better but the games just dragged them through the dirt especially the last one and it was sad to see it fall. Also I'm not a fan of mmos so 11 is there to.
The art direction in this game is one of the best we have ever seen. It's surreal to look at this and think it's 12 years old.
I think the art was always good.. it's just the story that was boring and the drama was nothing rememerable either
its a pre rendered cutscene? what did you expect? 2009 cgi was fine
@@unskillfullymasterful The story was not boring by any means
@@TheVintress it's subjective and a lot of people found it boring
I think ff13 is better than ff15, music,story,character design and character developments, everything is better.
Can I just take a minute to explain just HOW GOOD and on point this game's humor is? Paired with the dynamic cast, its literally perfect.
I liked how dysfunctional they are as they are always arguing and Lighting is punching everyone out!
the cutscenes graphics are stunning... over a decade old and still impressive
Say what you want about 13's overall quality, but its cinematics were on POINT!
Probably the Final fantasy with the best cutscenes and cinematics. Every scenes feel like a reward.

I really loved 13 and especially how it develops into this group dynamic.
The scene when the airship hits the ground is unrealistic. It stays in one piece even after the collision with presumably very high speed, like your kids toy hitting the floor after falling.
Expecting realism from a Final Fantasy game, lol. 😂 Sorry, forgive me. I often forget there are people who have never played a Final Fantasy game before. Don't get into this franchise if you primarily want realism. I am warning you now, you will be disappointed - outraged even. Otherwise, play the games in this franchise, you may enjoy them. You can start with any of them. There are many, each with a new setting, new characters, and new story to really sink your teeth into. I recommend VII and VIII. They are excellent, in my opinion, but you should ultimately get to decide which to play. I guarantee Final Fantasy XXX will be _your_ favourite if it comes out in your lifetime. 🍑🍆😏 You may want to learn how to extend your lifespan to experience it. The company which makes these games, Square Enix, kind of has a reputation of taking years to release a new title. Such a reputation would make George R. R. Martin look like Stephen King by comparison. George R. R. Martin and Stephen King are very successful authors, by the way.
Anyway, this is a warship built by Pulse Fal'Cie, obviously built to withstand attacks from Cocoon Fal'Cie, l'Cie, and their weapons. I know all these terms are foreign to you, so let me explain. You see, my dear lad; *l'Cie* are these (potentially) powerful magic-weilding humans from this universe, they are primarily used for warfare just like this warship is, l'Cie even travelled around in it. *Fal'Cie* are these very powerful beings (almost gods compared to humans) that can choose which humans are to be given these powers. They too have great magical abilities, but such that can easily eclipses l'Cie magic. *Cocoon* is the name of the futuristic world that four of the six characters in this scene live. *Gran Pulse* (the place where the warship was made and "unrealistically" crashed) is the world where the two lovely-looking tribal girls live (one girl is the redhead with a very high-pitched voice and was sucked out of the warship with that boy, the other is darker in complexion and has a beautiful blue Sari-like outfit on🥻). In this scene, they are going to Gran Pulse, a world where there are more things like that warship and worse roam about, all built by the same thing - a Fal'Cie. In this universe, most of these types of weapons are autonomous. The cute redhead girl called them "an army of living weapons" just a couple scenes prior to this one. She said this in a place filled with them. They can be a chore to fight if you are under-leveled...and those were the easy ones in comparison. What I am saying is that these weapons, including the warship, are very strong, built to withstand devastating magic and weapons. In this game, you get to perform some of these very powerful abilities, because the six people in this scene are l'Cie. That is how the woman with the Sari-like outfit was able to summon that awesome flying monster called Bahamut. All the characters have the l'Cie power to summon their own special monster.
Play the game (it's called Final Fantasy XIII), you will very clearly see many examples of Pulse military weapons forged by the same hand (Fal'Cie, very powerful god-like beings) as this warship withstanding powerful magic and even Cocoon's very refined modern weaponry. Don't worry, you will know when a weapon from Gran Pulse is on screen, because the characters will say so in dialogue. In other cases, when you have to fight one of these things, some would have the word "Pulse" acting as a sort of prefix to what they are just above their health bar (example: Pulse Knight). In video games, a health bar is typically a green bar just above the thing you are fighting. It gets smaller and smaller when you hit the enemy. When it's empty, that typically means they are defeated.
That warship was built to withstand very powerful magic and weapons, though. It was made literally built god-like beings called Fal'Cie, built to defend its passengers from other Fal'Cie and their l'Cie. It is not going to break simply by crashing...especially when both Fal'Cie and l'Cie can do much worse to it.
It's unrealistic if you don't understand
@@ClaireYunFarronXIII I have been a long-time FF fan, I finished VII through XIII except for the online and spin-off series. You are right, you don't generally expect realism from FF game. For instance the most unrealistic aspect of FF X, my fav series, is that people can hold their breath unrealistically long to play blitzball, or other theory spiran people can breathe under water. I was probably upset with the part of the video I criticized above more because of my disappointment with XIII. Didn't enjoy playing it at all. In all other series, I almost always grind once in a while or try to get some rare equipments, but I didn't do these with XIII. The lack of interaction with npc makes the series no fun anymore. I like this aspect of the other series because these interactions are where the access to secret stuffs like side quests or items are often preceded with.
It's scenes likes this makes me wonder why they had that awful ff movie in the early 2000s which did not have one iconic creature/Cid/element in that movie rather than something like any of the FF games. A movie with great graphics alone does not make it a FF product.
15 is the worst, then the 13 trilogy, then 12. Soon, 16 will be with them
Fang was more of a protagonist than that Louis Vuitton model Lightning.
Here's the game description for all three games.
Game play = shit
Story = hard to follow, complex, and its all over the place
Music = good as always with final fantasy
Graphics = Beautiful
That sums up to trash for me.
Why? The game play is absurdly stupid even to the point of making me want to die and the story (the main reason why I play a game at all now) is to complex for its own good. I mean they could've explored the entire planet of pulse but no we have to time travel and play with the dumbest trope to ever exist which is kill the creator of the universe, God.
A God exists outside the concept of time and death if they created the universe. Not to be confused with a god of a certain part of the universe which in pagen religions can be killed. Reference to Egyptian, Greek, Norse, Celtic, and Mesopotamian mythology.

You:
*Hates these games*
Also you:
*clicks on this video*
What an absolutely strange thing to do. Maybe I should click on things I hate and say how much they suck with little to no constructive thought-out feedback as I see here.
The story was easy to understand to those who simply had their eyes and ears open throughout, which is how you are suppose to consume a story, especially one this complex. It's simple. It won't spoon-feed you, if that's what you want. Don't expect that. Also, why and how can we explore the entire planet of Gran Pulse when 99% of it is just a ruin? There would be no difference. Most of Gran Pulse, expect for the City of Paddra, is like what we already explored...but in a different place. All you would find is thousands of ruined cities and empty villages, wildlife as we already saw them, Cie'th as we already saw them, uncaring Fal'Cie here and there, and maybe a few nomads here and there; most of this we already see, why see more if it does not aid the plot? I guarantee you would complain about it being repetitive...because it may be. And how could they even get around when Gran Pulse airships are scarce? Why would the venture so far? And if you mean to time travel to a time before the great war...why? One of the questions of the XIII trilogy is the exact fate and fortune of Gran Pulse. That should be left more ambiguous since most records of Gran Pulse's fall was written by the bias victors...as we expect with any war...especially one that began over six centuries ago with very few survivors from Gran Pulse. We XIII fans would love to see more...but as DLCs or something, not in the main game. Only fans of the games, which you are not, would go out and get those, anyway.
When did the God of this universe die? Bhunivelze was put into a crystal slumber by Lightning, the saviour, with the abilities he granted her. He can return from that crystal sleep...as he did the first time. Who knows how long that would take, though. But he may wake. His reign is just stalled. And why are you applying our world rules to a fictional story? (Well, all the Gods in our world are also fictional, let that be clear). Bhunivelze is not even the sole creator of this universe, his mother had a huge part in that before he usurped her, then he changed things. Lightning even fought him in the Realm of the Gods...which is not influenced by time. We saw the effect of this place twice. In Lightning Returns, time was unmoved just like in Valhalla. And in XIII-1, Dajh became a Cocoon l'Cie in a blink of an eye in real time, but was taken to this place to be branded by Lindzei...which would have taken some time, as we saw when Lightning and her companions were branded by Pulse. And let me remind you that Bhunivelze did not die. Bhunivelze and Fal'Cie do not "die," they become dormant. That means they can be awoken again. We saw this with Orphan and Etro, (kind of with Atomos). We also saw the same with Eden firsthand, but the concept was abandoned. These beings cannot be killed in the way you think. Only Ragnarok (and their creators) can forever end Fal'Cie.
And what is "the gameplay"? This trilogy has two different gameplay systems...which are quite different from one another, but you are acting as though there is only one system. You are saying both are bad and not being specific? I doubt it. I assume you are just being hyperbolic, which is not good.
@@ClaireYunFarronXIII mmm....
Ok so you like the latest ff games I hate them 14 & 15 weren't good either but the game play did improve alittle bit. I'm a fan of the franchise not the multiple series in it. Don't get me wrong the characters could have been better but the games just dragged them through the dirt especially the last one and it was sad to see it fall. Also I'm not a fan of mmos so 11 is there to.
Lol this game was so bad
Then why are you here?
