i could not agree more. i have played Final fantasy since 7. and although the series is not what it used to be (and its way too tech-y for my liking) this is still a decent RPG not a great FF game but thats not the point, it is still a Big title game and as far as RPG's go it is impressive
TwilightPrince64 I might even stretch it out and say that the trilogy as a whole works well within itself (even though FFXIII would have been fine as standalone too). And considering this was Masashi Hamazo's first time as main composer of an FF title (before this he was Uematsu's assistant in Squaresoft/Enix), he did an admirable job at a new kind of music feel. Actually,this may be what old fans hate the most. The FFXIII games are their own thing.They were designed as such fromthe start,with Square creating a whole project, the "Fabula Nova Chrystallis",with it'sown backstory and mythology BECAUSE they wanted the games under the project to be different from the old FF games.
Make my wish come true, let darkness slip aside Hiding all our hope, mocking what we treasure Battles we can win, if we believe our souls Hang in for the light, till dawn 'Fate will not leave you, hate will not heal you Pray and one day, peace shall flow everywhere' Make my wish come true, let darkness fade to light Show me there's still hope, show me it's not over Battles we can win, our struggle lies within
It almost sounds like Serah's calling out to Lightning in this song. Almost like a plea to have her stop being so negative on her outlook on everything.
This track is absolutely stunning. This game was a work of art and is so beautiful. I used to play this track every morning and it would open my eyes and get ready for the day completely closing any sad or depressing feelings I had ready to show the world nothing can get me down!
come on FFX was The SAme as 13 , Walk on a Straight Path until you Defeat the Religious Leader the First Time ( Seymour/Barthandelus ) , Next , get to an Open Area , with Optional stuff ( Capture Monsters/ Do Missions ) later on you get to a mountain , in FFX you WAlk over it , in 13 you walk Through it , to get to the Ruins of a City ( Zanarkand / Oerba) the Gameplay is EXACTLY the same as FFX
i dont understand the hate about the linearity , ffx wasnt much different and in ffx there werent even missions you could do without complete the game ,you could only catch the monsters from 4 areas and get one optional aeon
The thing with X though, is that you had the option of going to the vast majority of places that you could before (and even more!) whereas in FFXIII, you couldn't. You were limited in where you could go.
deaththekid922 lol youre funny. In Final Fantasy X , before you could beat the game you could get everyones ultima weapon. Which consisted of alot of different mini games and missions to do. Also there isnt one optional aeon there was like 3. Magus sisters , anima and there is another but i forgot. Also in FF X you have blitzball. So dont you ever compare the majestic FF X to the average FF 13 series
this is my favorite theme song ever. Everytime i hear it i get a mix of emotions, nothing bad, but its like i want to cry but i also feel so at peace like all the worries of the world doesn't matter.
Nope, 13-2 does. After playing the first after the second I see that while it did some what re-use some tracks from 13, all the best ones are singular to 13-2.
This game is amazing. This trilogy is so underated. The music, the art, the story, lightning, the cgis, everything is so beautiful. The game feels like you really are in a last fantasy, a final fantasy. The melancholy, it's nostalgic, peaceful, beautiful 😮
I really don't get why everyone is hating on FF13 and 13-2. They're still FF either way. I've played 5 different FF games and only two of them actually made me emotional. Those two were FF10 and 13, the unexpected events were big shocks. I felt like the battles were awesome and if you're ever in Ooerba long enough you'll figure out how much time went into 13. At one point I could see the light reflect off the screen so amazingly that it shocked me. So much time and effort went into these games, don't hate just because you don't like them. They're actually amazing games once you let yourself be taken in by the story and not just focusing on the negatives in everything.
I know right, I was rewatching scenes from the game and I was just thinking...how could people say such terrible things about it after seeing something like this? I'm just starting XIII-2 now, hoping to also get X HD when it comes out c:
I'm glad I never got caught up in that shitstorm cause I tried the game for myself last month or so. Raked in 120 hours with 100% achievements. That's saying a lot for someone like me who prefers multiplayer games. I really enjoyed the gameplay and music, so the game was pretty fun for me. I would say it's easily an 8/10 for me, and that's counting all the technical issues I had because the PC port is so bad. I haven't been this obsessed with a single player game in a long time.
Spanish lyrics: Haz que mi deseo se haga realidad, permiteme esquivar la oscuridad Ocultando toda nuestra esperanza, burlándose de lo que atesoramos Batallas que podemos ganar, si creemos en nuestras almas Mantente en la luz, hasta el amanecer El destino no te dejará, el odio no te curará Ora y un día, la paz fluirá en todas partes
i like how the beginning is a muffled, echoing version of the regular theme, as if serah is a memory. it solidifies how she’s gone and she’s not physically here anymore
this song is one of the best songs that I've heard from all the final fantasy songs!!!!! It's such a magically song. every time i hear it it calms me down and it put my minds at peace!!!
FFXIII - Looking for a light for their loved ones. (Defying false (fal'cie) destiny to live) FFXIII-2 - Looking for Light, Serah's true love. (Family love) It's really romantic when you think about it.
I was 13 when I started playing ff13 and 14 when I past it and this was my first final fantasy I played and past and am happy when I first played it and gave up I went back again to have the game another chance am very happy very!
i always come back to this video every once in a while, such a beautiful voice from Frances Maya. There's something with this song that calms me down and makes me emotional. I miss coming from school and play this for hours. So nostalgic...
When this song played while I saw looking for Serah as Snow in the flashback, I never realized how much I loved this game. It's atmosphere, the characters. Critics can keep their opinions to themselves, this game was something else for me. It was the experience that mattered.
I always find it refreshing to see final fantasy fans respecting each others opinions and giving suggestions on games to play. Well thanks for showing me kindness and courtesy aren't completely dead on the internet.
I've never even played one of these games, I've only seen a playthrough of FFXIII, but this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. My Grandmother passed away a couple months ago, and I listened to this song all day. Now, just the first 10 seconds can make me cry. To think that a song from a video game can evoke such emotion is amazing, and it proves how amazing this franchise is. I love this song so much, and I love you grandma Carmen.
+Jacob Temple I can't wrap my mind around people not loving ten the most. I just can't comprehend XD. I love all of these games...but, ten...made you feel so much and just...jesus.... I can't.
Jacob Temple Same here, I don't get why people hate it so much. It isn't just one long corridor! There are other FF games that are more linear than 13... All the hater see this beautiful game differently.... I don't! (And I agree Lightning is Bae)
I still think people give FF13 too much crap I mean sure it's different from FF10 or FF7 but its a great game besides the storyline was a piece of art (not surprising it is a FF game after all). can't people give respect where it's due?
༼ つ◕ω◕ ༽つ WOW Personally I'm with richard adlays. For me, the story of 13-2 was really basic and empty compared to FF13-1.... really really ! Of course it's your opinion to love FF13-2 more then the first one and I don't judge that :) FF13-1 became in 2011 my favorite game of all time for many reasons: The story (Second World War references to immerse the player in a fantasy environment with real facts (The Purge;The L'Cie mark;Execution disguised in exile...) - the development of the characters and stories that intertwine, they are all linked together - The love story between Snow and Serah (just beautiful) - The evolving relationship between characters) The music: All of them ! The world of Cocoon and Gran Pulse, really detailled and beautiful with many different environments The battle system, tactical and dynamic (Sorry for my bad english :P)
Poulet Rôti Your English is fine. Thanks for sharing your opinion. Maybe it's just taste. I just feel like I had more fun in 13-2. I spent 20 hours doing side-games like slot-machines (which I enjoyed. Don't judge), poker (it's DLC, I know), breeding the ultimate chocobo monsters to use in battle, farming various items like the Indrajit (I enjoy farming items. I couldn't do that in 13-1 because I could just build the ultimate weapons and items instead of find them), fighting in the Arena and hunting various artefacts. Also, Sazh's story and Lightning's DLC extended my game by about 30 hours and I was just so immersed in those 2 side-stories. I really like side-stories. I had more fun doing the Vile Peaks sidequest than I had doing the Palumpolum story arc. I'm weird that way. :P
Sometimes when I listen to this I feel like FFXIII is trying to tell me that... the haters won't last. One day I won't have to go to an FF video for a different game and watch comments slander FFXIII like it's the worst thing ever created. So, I'm not ashamed to say this was my first main FF title. I'll hang in for that light, way past the dawn if need be.
As far as hallway simulators go FF-XIII is top notch, but as a game it is demonstrably piss poor. Opinion is fine and all, and you can feel however you want; if you enjoyed FF-XIII there's no animosity towards you, but FF-XIII is a lot like the Twilight series. Not thematically or structurally, but in the fact that it is demonstrably bad on every level regardless of opinion. Based only on fact, not opinion, it is poorly written and incompetently designed. There is no hatred or anger in what I just said, only fact. It is 5:51 pm at time of writing and FF-XIII is a bad work of fiction.
"Hate will not heal you" Haters think that hating on this game will make some sort of difference, but no. It won't, and it's completely pointless. Nowadays people only hate on this game because it's cool to. It still won't change the fact that this was one of the best games to come out last generation according to Japan.
This song really brings back so many memories... I was really the happiest during this time and this trilogy froze those memories. Time really moves so quickly.
i wonder sometimes... How can i explain... How can i... Just... Believe... How wars or anger can... just down... "Hate will not heal you Pray and one day, peace shall flow everywhere"
I'm not that big of a fan of final fantasy.. But my girlfriend used to love this song.. She showed it to me and told me it reminded me of her.. It's been 3 years, I play this song because it just brings back happy memories... Is that bad?
+Running Eagle As long as they're happy. I played this game for the first time when I was dating a special lady back in the day and I do think of her and the good times we shared back in that time. It is a very nostalgic feeling.
Oh wow, I didn't know there was this version. I only heard the original version from FFXIII. O_O Music like this gives off a hidden message and I always try to interpret them in many games, like "Love will not leave you, hate will not heal you" and "Will we live to greet the dawn". One of the most amazing music from FFXIII. :)
I know a lot of people enjoyed XIII-2..but is it okay if I pretend it never existed? I liked the end of XIII a lot, and felt it didn't need a sequel. Again, not hating on the game, I just felt it had a nice end.
***** Square has a horrible record with FF sequels they can never seem to get it right, i'm kinda worried about them remaking 7 because they might fuck it up.
akapdcdaka I kindly disagree I think Final Fantasy X-2 was waaaay better then Final Fantasy X. Not hating I just think the story was better and the game play was more to what a FF game should be like. That being said I adore both of them deeply.
***** I know exactly how you feel, i just love ffxiii-2, because i really like the characters and their background stories in there, but i don't like that they had to make a third one, i wish in some way Noel, Yeul and Caius would be in FFXIII, but they would be the people inside Serah's head when she was on cristal, you know, like if she was fighting in some way to get out of there, and we actually did play with noel and serah on her story. I don't feel like LR was for me at all, i really like Sazh and he was barely mentioned in the game(his son never grow old LOL), Noel bothered me in this game, his part doesn't make sense at all, i don't like that Noel had yeul back and Serah came back to life. So now for me, in my mind there is just FFXIII the other ones aren't cannon (ON MY MIND), But i just like FFXIII-2 so much, just hate snow fate in that game and the ending... Because it leads to LR --'.
***** I didn't like the story of XIII-2 because it got confusing but it's a really fun game to play. The battle system made some improvements to XIII's battle system, the areas you explore on Gran Pulse are some of the most interesting and open places in any FF game, the music is fantastic and Serah is a great protagonist.
Although i haven't played all the games i consider myself a huge fan of this franchise and i have to say that i really enjoyed this game, it shouldn't have the hate that it has, also i want to say that in my opinion Final Fantasy has the best soundtrack in the videogame industry and this song is an example of it, i love this song it's very nostalgic for me i hope this song is never forgotten and make people enjoy the way i do
the story, music,voice actors, and gameplay(while a bit linear) is really good, they they screwed it up with the script and how they portrayed the characters it lacked deep emotional moments (not just sad moments) and the plot is not explained well at all, while being good. The characters while (alone) good, lacked more soul and it seemed like it was trying to hard. also it is extremely linear. overall, If there was a word to describe it, it would be pretentious probably. it seemed like a work still in progress almost done. other than that the mood,character design, story amd music is amazing at least that's what I believe
+goodgalbadgal also it seemed like they bullshitted some of it. Like, "even tho orphan wants it to kill us we r gonna kill it even tho we don't want cocoon to fall but we'll just leave it to a random miracle" how did vanille and fang even know they could morph into one whole ragnorak lol
I either go by three theories to why they attack Orphan. A. They believed they'd die if they ran and valued survival over saving everyone else. B. They didn't actually know it was Orphan (cant remember if he mentioned he was Orphan) and assumed it was a another form of the Fal'cie they just beat up. Its not like they see the guys name when they target him like the player does. C. They were so confused and delirious from being unCieth'd that they swung at the big scary thing barking at them.
the main problem many have with 13 is the fact its a Hallway with Cutscenes however , in My Favorite Final Fantasy , its exactly the same , yet not so many hate it ( Final Fantasy 10) its just a "nothing beats my FF7 " type of thing , most haters probably didnt even play past the shiva sisters
ff7 ff9 ff10 ff13 successful ff series.. admit it, people hate ff13 because comparing to ff10.. but ff13 still great games (specialy at graphics and song) ff10 = saddest story line in ff series (this isn't about 1 person, but saving the world from sin and beautiful sad love story too) *ffx2 not so success because have lighter story line ff13 = this story line not so dark, more love story than tragedy.. but have high quality graphics and great song.. and no many (don't have) side quest too.. story line = ff10 battle system = ff10 mini games = ff10 graphics = ff13 battle song = ff13
y do ppl dislike this game?? i loved it when i played it and it really did work its way up to my top five games i have ever played and i started playing at FF 3 so ive played my fare share and sure its different than traditional FF but thats what makes it suck a beautiful game go ahead and diss it but this game will always have a special place in my gamer heart
it still is final fantasy. final fantasy is more than gameplay, istg who cares if the game is linear, you people are linear. these vibes are so difficult to create, final fantasy xiii is just as beautiful as your vi, vii, ix, x, or whatever you call peak final fantasy. the magic is right here
FF13 was awesome. it was a depart from norm, tired new things and had a great story. it was muddied at times, but awesome none the less. people's biggest complaint was the linear feel to it. I think it reflected the character's struggles. they had little choice in what they could do. and, until they got to pulse, were driven in directions. then, on pulse, they had to choose to go back into a linear path to proceed. they could explore where they were for as long as they chose, but not really go anywhere. they had the ILLUSION of freedom while still being confined. the music was great, too
I like the Piano version better and for those 13 haters out there. Guess what. I LOVE THE FUCK OUT OF 13. Can we stop comparing it to FF7 PLEASE! I would like to think that each FF is different in it own way. As a big fan of 7 and 10 I would place 13 next to them. People say "Its too techy for me" Um when has FF ever not be a technical type game. Hell you have to plan just about every boss you run across. Then there are those who say "I wish they would go back to Turn Based Combat". Each one of the 13 games gave us something a little different along with a piece of the story. Paradigm Shifting was so easy once mastered it was like breathing. Lightning Returns while similar gave us something different with the Schemas. While I kept thinking "Oh God here we go again with the FFX-2 wardrobe change" I have to admit they are fun and a lot of them were not pointless. The game was made to be fast pace but to the point that you cant complete everything. If you dont like that Square Enix is trying to do something new why play the games to begin with?
under what circumstances is FFXIII trilogy considered not a real Final Fantasy? I don't get it? I've played 7, 8, 10, tactics, I, II, and III and I don't understand how this new concept/great storyline doesn't stack up. Looking for clarification not a preachy story please.
If you wanted this game to look or feel or sound like previous ff games, go play the old games instead. And if it was the same as previous games you would be hating as well. I love the XIII series.
I love it too , but the Grinding is annoying i have been Grinding for 30 Hours in the Taejin Tower and still i dont have a single ultimate weapon , or one of those Super Expensive weapons in the gilgamesh Store
+theraiden115 Another moron it has nothing to do with the different look, FF14 is loved and 15 is getting high praise from most FF fans... 13 was just garbage and made easy for people who don't game
***** the reason i didnt grind with adamantoises was because of my bad luck in the Game (killing Neochu with Death took me like 80 Tries ( with Vanilles best weapon on Tier 2 )
ff13 was my first ff-game and even I realized how bad it was (mainly story and characters, battles also got boring after a while). The sole reason I managed to finish it was because I wanted to know how it ended and I wanted to have finished at least one ff-game. Graphics were great, cutscenes were amazing. And lastly this soundtrack is awesome.
you sure you didn't just buy it because you jumped on the bandwagon like the rest of the casual gamers and followed the promo materail and games like this aren't really your thing at all?? you sound like a casual gamer because you only mention the bare obvious basics of what made this game 'crap' but you didn't analyse the base story...also if you've played any final fantasy before you'd know this is basically how all of them go in some respect...but either way if this is your first, you hardly have the base coverage of the series to give an indepth criticism of why this game wasn't that great.
well I certainly am a FF-noob which I stated in my comment. . But I'm not a casual gamer. I have played games in all kinds of genres. mmos, moba, singleplayerrpg, rts, card games, round-based games, shooters. I have read/seen enough fictional stories to be able to judge if a story is bad or not. Mind you, it's all just my own opinion and not sth I'm forcing onto others. It wasn't my intention to analyze ff13 which is exactly why I made such a broad statement about the basic criteria. I'm not sure what u mean by band wagon. I played ff13 at least 4 years after its release.
u should play ff13 lightning returns its a open world and u can dodge attacks and chose attacks not like where u take the hits and attack bk its my favorite ff game
love this song and i love all the games best games ever my fave one is lighting she is the best love all the games and thanks for bring out final fantasy lighting returns and i got it and its epic thanks so much C:
So many years later, this song teleports me back to those simpler days and makes me emotional
Yes ❤
Same
So trueee
They will never come back …. I feel nostalgic as well

I'm getting a little more into these games and while they're definitely different, they don't deserve the hate.

+TwilightPrince64 I guess you like the game playing for you, this FF is the equivalent of COD campaign no skill required
I assume you 5-star every encounter you get into and every mission for the first try without guides? Yeah, didn't think so.
Make my wish come true, let darkness slip aside
Hiding all our hope, mocking what we treasure
Battles we can win, if we believe our souls
Hang in for the light, till dawn
'Fate will not leave you, hate will not heal you
Pray and one day, peace shall flow everywhere'
Make my wish come true, let darkness fade to light
Show me there's still hope, show me it's not over

I liked the XII. :))
i liked the fast combat system tbh, the linearity of it was a b it meh but yeah fucking awesome games

One day Final Fantasy 13 will be vindicated and recognised as the masterpiece it is.
truth
As air rises to the surface; so does the truth.
Lol, no.
13-2 is the gem in the trilogy, I will say that much 13 and 13-3 are boring and bad.
With AI, I'm hoping it gets a remaster and a few fixes to the plot
@@UA-camCensorsand here I was thinking 13-2 was the beginning of the problems. I would have loved if 13's story ended there.

Hello there
I come back to this every so often, I think back fondly on these years I was only 15 when this came out... time sure does fly by
This game is amazing. This trilogy is so underated. The music, the art, the story, lightning, the cgis, everything is so beautiful.
The game feels like you really are in a last fantasy, a final fantasy. The melancholy, it's nostalgic, peaceful, beautiful
😮
me too!!
I love the meaning of this song

Serah's themes always sad and beautiful.
i like how the beginning is a muffled, echoing version of the regular theme, as if serah is a memory. it solidifies how she’s gone and she’s not physically here anymore
this song is one of the best songs that I've heard from all the final fantasy songs!!!!!
It's such a magically song. every time i hear it it calms me down and it put my minds at peace!!!
:( So many feels this song always makes me tear up.

FFXIII-2 - Looking for Light, Serah's true love. (Family love)
It's really romantic when you think about it.
I was 13 when I started playing ff13 and 14 when I past it and this was my first final fantasy I played and past and am happy when I first played it and gave up I went back again to have the game another chance am very happy very!
This song can turn your shitty day around "hate will not heal you" yeah... I needed that.
i always come back to this video every once in a while, such a beautiful voice from Frances Maya. There's something with this song that calms me down and makes me emotional. I miss coming from school and play this for hours. So nostalgic...
When this song played while I saw looking for Serah as Snow in the flashback, I never realized how much I loved this game. It's atmosphere, the characters. Critics can keep their opinions to themselves, this game was something else for me. It was the experience that mattered.
I always find it refreshing to see final fantasy fans respecting each others opinions and giving suggestions on games to play. Well thanks for showing me kindness and courtesy aren't completely dead on the internet.
I've played VII, X, and a lot of FF games, and I still love XIII saga...
This brings bak Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many memorys i already miss final fantasy 13
its 2015 and im still admit this is beautiful
I've never even played one of these games, I've only seen a playthrough of FFXIII, but this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. My Grandmother passed away a couple months ago, and I listened to this song all day. Now, just the first 10 seconds can make me cry. To think that a song from a video game can evoke such emotion is amazing, and it proves how amazing this franchise is. I love this song so much, and I love you grandma Carmen.
i always cry when i hear this ♡
Me too 💞🌹
"mocking what we treasure"... Yup. Got plenty of that over this treasure
FFX13-2 is the majoras mask of the final fantasy series. mysterious and weird but amazing and unforgettable.
Final Fantasy 13 is extremely underrated
I'm proud to say the final fantasy XIII trilogy were my first final fantasy games.
Jacob Temple agreed
+Jacob Temple I liked 13 more than 7. but nowhere near as good as 9 and 10
+Jacob Temple Thats because you're a idiot, it has good music though I'll give it that
+Jacob Temple I can't wrap my mind around people not loving ten the most. I just can't comprehend XD. I love all of these games...but, ten...made you feel so much and just...jesus.... I can't.
Jacob Temple Same here, I don't get why people hate it so much. It isn't just one long corridor! There are other FF games that are more linear than 13... All the hater see this beautiful game differently.... I don't! (And I agree Lightning is Bae)
i cried reading the lyrics. such a great message!
serah's so cute omg x_x
Cloud Chan I love you Lizzy
so beautiful. the lyrics are beautiful and the music is mystical
Not gonna lie I forgot about this song but heard it in a video and the melody hit me instantly.
Men don't admit this level of love they have for the woman they fall for. It's a vulnerable place.
I still think people give FF13 too much crap I mean sure it's different from FF10 or FF7 but its a great game besides the storyline was a piece of art (not surprising it is a FF game after all). can't people give respect where it's due?
coolman85541 I didn't really care about the story until ff 13-2 came out (which I love. I think 13-2 is the best one yet after 12)
༼ つ◕ω◕ ༽つ WOW youre fucking insane. I really liked 13, but 13-2 was garbage
richard adlays Funny, considering most would disagree with that.
༼ つ◕ω◕ ༽つ WOW Personally I'm with richard adlays. For me, the story of 13-2 was really basic and empty compared to FF13-1.... really really ! Of course it's your opinion to love FF13-2 more then the first one and I don't judge that :)
FF13-1 became in 2011 my favorite game of all time for many reasons:
The story (Second World War references to immerse the player in a fantasy environment with real facts (The Purge;The L'Cie mark;Execution disguised in exile...) - the development of the characters and stories that intertwine, they are all linked together - The love story between Snow and Serah (just beautiful) - The evolving relationship between characters)
The music: All of them !
The world of Cocoon and Gran Pulse, really detailled and beautiful with many different environments
The battle system, tactical and dynamic
(Sorry for my bad english :P)
Poulet Rôti Your English is fine. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Maybe it's just taste. I just feel like I had more fun in 13-2. I spent 20 hours doing side-games like slot-machines (which I enjoyed. Don't judge), poker (it's DLC, I know), breeding the ultimate chocobo monsters to use in battle, farming various items like the Indrajit (I enjoy farming items. I couldn't do that in 13-1 because I could just build the ultimate weapons and items instead of find them), fighting in the Arena and hunting various artefacts. Also, Sazh's story and Lightning's DLC extended my game by about 30 hours and I was just so immersed in those 2 side-stories.
I really like side-stories. I had more fun doing the Vile Peaks sidequest than I had doing the Palumpolum story arc. I'm weird that way. :P
13 years and im still on this song...
Sometimes when I listen to this I feel like FFXIII is trying to tell me that... the haters won't last. One day I won't have to go to an FF video for a different game and watch comments slander FFXIII like it's the worst thing ever created. So, I'm not ashamed to say this was my first main FF title. I'll hang in for that light, way past the dawn if need be.
pssst hey hey... I won't judge your opinion... psst... but I will suggest you play the other ones..
St. .Starbreak Ah I have played VII since I played XIII and next on my list is VIII.
VIII is good and IX is superb
As far as hallway simulators go FF-XIII is top notch, but as a game it is demonstrably piss poor. Opinion is fine and all, and you can feel however you want; if you enjoyed FF-XIII there's no animosity towards you, but FF-XIII is a lot like the Twilight series. Not thematically or structurally, but in the fact that it is demonstrably bad on every level regardless of opinion. Based only on fact, not opinion, it is poorly written and incompetently designed. There is no hatred or anger in what I just said, only fact. It is 5:51 pm at time of writing and FF-XIII is a bad work of fiction.
I agree that it fails across the board, but I won't stop people from somehow liking it
This song gives me a vibe of something purely amazing..and elegant. Well done.
I love Final Fantasy 13!
Mieuwh :3 I love you Lizzy
"Hate will not heal you"
Haters think that hating on this game will make some sort of difference, but no. It won't, and it's completely pointless. Nowadays people only hate on this game because it's cool to. It still won't change the fact that this was one of the best games to come out last generation according to Japan.
Wow!
Misses Witch
I love you Lizzy
This song really brings back so many memories... I was really the happiest during this time and this trilogy froze those memories. Time really moves so quickly.
Honestly FF13 still has some of the best songs in the series. This and FF15.
This is my favorite theme song on final fantasy.… like when I heard this theme song I instantly fell in love with it.
i wonder sometimes... How can i explain... How can i... Just... Believe... How wars or anger can... just down...
"Hate will not heal you
Pray and one day, peace shall flow everywhere"
one of the best songs i've ever heard and really captures my attention.
Needs a remaster already 😩
This is the best character song of the final fantasy series, the first time that I heard that a tears appaerd on my cheek, awsome
I used to play ffxiii when i lived with my grandma in the past, miss that days
this song relaxes me a lot when I'm stressed with exams and studies, stop one second and listen quietly
im honestly about to replay 13 and 13-2
Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't foresee that as a possibility.
I'm not that big of a fan of final fantasy.. But my girlfriend used to love this song.. She showed it to me and told me it reminded me of her.. It's been 3 years, I play this song because it just brings back happy memories... Is that bad?
Of course not, it reminds you of happier days and it's a great song.
+Running Eagle GAYYYYYYYYYYYY
+NicktheLP idiot
Vale Chan I think you mean "insensitive", as idiocy pertains in no way to what I said
+Running Eagle As long as they're happy. I played this game for the first time when I was dating a special lady back in the day and I do think of her and the good times we shared back in that time. It is a very nostalgic feeling.
...this song is...just...i cant even express how good it is T-T
Oh wow, I didn't know there was this version. I only heard the original version from FFXIII. O_O
Music like this gives off a hidden message and I always try to interpret them in many games, like "Love will not leave you, hate will not heal you" and "Will we live to greet the dawn". One of the most amazing music from FFXIII. :)
Sarah Yasue I love you Lizzy
13-2 has better music and I think this is played more often there.
I love this c: the picture of sarah makes me cry ive been playing lighting returns lately and just this song makes me cry ...
I know a lot of people enjoyed XIII-2..but is it okay if I pretend it never existed? I liked the end of XIII a lot, and felt it didn't need a sequel. Again, not hating on the game, I just felt it had a nice end.
***** Square has a horrible record with FF sequels they can never seem to get it right, i'm kinda worried about them remaking 7 because they might fuck it up.
akapdcdaka I kindly disagree I think Final Fantasy X-2 was waaaay better then Final Fantasy X. Not hating I just think the story was better and the game play was more to what a FF game should be like. That being said I adore both of them deeply.
***** I know exactly how you feel, i just love ffxiii-2, because i really like the characters and their background stories in there, but i don't like that they had to make a third one, i wish in some way Noel, Yeul and Caius would be in FFXIII, but they would be the people inside Serah's head when she was on cristal, you know, like if she was fighting in some way to get out of there, and we actually did play with noel and serah on her story. I don't feel like LR was for me at all, i really like Sazh and he was barely mentioned in the game(his son never grow old LOL), Noel bothered me in this game, his part doesn't make sense at all, i don't like that Noel had yeul back and Serah came back to life. So now for me, in my mind there is just FFXIII the other ones aren't cannon (ON MY MIND), But i just like FFXIII-2 so much, just hate snow fate in that game and the ending... Because it leads to LR --'.
***** I didn't like the story of XIII-2 because it got confusing but it's a really fun game to play. The battle system made some improvements to XIII's battle system, the areas you explore on Gran Pulse are some of the most interesting and open places in any FF game, the music is fantastic and Serah is a great protagonist.
+Sionnanful This is the exact way I feel about FFXIII
This brings back so many memories, nostalgia :)
Seraaah T^T
Akira Sakura I love you Lizzy
I love this song..its so sweet & pure.. its like a sweet lullaby.. I love it..
Let Darkness Fade Away...
19 caius' from different timelines disliked this video
or 1 Caius simply made 19 Accounts
Although i haven't played all the games i consider myself a huge fan of this franchise and i have to say that i really enjoyed this game, it shouldn't have the hate that it has, also i want to say that in my opinion Final Fantasy has the best soundtrack in the videogame industry and this song is an example of it, i love this song it's very nostalgic for me i hope this song is never forgotten and make people enjoy the way i do
I really liked FF 13, it was the only rpg that I actually managed to fully complete the story. Whats so bad about FF13?
the story, music,voice actors, and gameplay(while a bit linear) is really good, they they screwed it up with the script and how they portrayed the characters
it lacked deep emotional moments (not just sad moments) and the plot is not explained well at all, while being good. The characters while (alone) good, lacked more soul and it seemed like it was trying to hard. also it is extremely linear. overall, If there was a word to describe it, it would be pretentious probably. it seemed like a work still in progress almost done. other than that the mood,character design, story amd music is amazing
at least that's what I believe
+goodgalbadgal also it seemed like they bullshitted some of it. Like, "even tho orphan wants it to kill us we r gonna kill it even tho we don't want cocoon to fall but we'll just leave it to a random miracle" how did vanille and fang even know they could morph into one whole ragnorak lol
I either go by three theories to why they attack Orphan.
A. They believed they'd die if they ran and valued survival over saving everyone else.
B. They didn't actually know it was Orphan (cant remember if he mentioned he was Orphan) and assumed it was a another form of the Fal'cie they just beat up. Its not like they see the guys name when they target him like the player does.
C. They were so confused and delirious from being unCieth'd that they swung at the big scary thing barking at them.
the main problem many have with 13 is the fact its a Hallway with Cutscenes
however , in My Favorite Final Fantasy , its exactly the same , yet not so many hate it ( Final Fantasy 10)
its just a "nothing beats my FF7 " type of thing , most haters probably didnt even play past the shiva sisters
Overall it's a great game even if it is pretentious, but hey, Final Fantasy and Square Enix in general has earned the right to be
such a beautiful melody
ff7 ff9 ff10 ff13 successful ff series.. admit it, people hate ff13 because comparing to ff10.. but ff13 still great games (specialy at graphics and song)
ff10 = saddest story line in ff series (this isn't about 1 person, but saving the world from sin and beautiful sad love story too) *ffx2 not so success because have lighter story line
ff13 = this story line not so dark, more love story than tragedy.. but have high quality graphics and great song.. and no many (don't have) side quest too..
story line = ff10
battle system = ff10
mini games = ff10
graphics = ff13
battle song = ff13
and about FF8 >.< I LOVE TOO
LOL FF XIII is shit. FF VI, VII, VIII and IX are best and X is good. After this, FF is dead
Anthony Albertini maybe you don't like the flat plot (just go straight and defeat boss), but ff xiii still have good story..
I think that both 10 and 13 sucks, so comparing them doesn't do much for me xD
Kefka Palazzo well, everybody have their own fav rpg.. so, that just my opinion about why people like ff x but hate ff xiii..
This is really well done and honestly im really impressed so props man this was a great job and truly beutiful
when i was younger, i was a weeaboo anime nerd and had a crush on serah. i still get ppl taking the piss to this day 😂😂😂😂😂
oh god this song is so wonderful its like tickling my ears and my ears are giggling uncontrollably like little girls oh man it feels good to listen
y do ppl dislike this game?? i loved it when i played it and it really did work its way up to my top five games i have ever played and i started playing at FF 3 so ive played my fare share and sure its different than traditional FF but thats what makes it suck a beautiful game go ahead and diss it but this game will always have a special place in my gamer heart
Glad someone understands! Same here!!!
this game is very good and thank u for realizing this fellow gammer!
Beautifull voice.. :)
FF13 is worth playing if only just for the music, it's that good. Battle system is also the best in the series
You can argue on many thing on this episode but this song has made everyone agree ❤
it still is final fantasy. final fantasy is more than gameplay, istg who cares if the game is linear, you people are linear.
these vibes are so difficult to create, final fantasy xiii is just as beautiful as your vi, vii, ix, x, or whatever you call peak final fantasy. the magic is right here
Don’t forget and viii
This is so so so beautiful
FF13 was awesome. it was a depart from norm, tired new things and had a great story.
it was muddied at times, but awesome none the less.
people's biggest complaint was the linear feel to it.
I think it reflected the character's struggles. they had little choice in what they could do. and, until they got to pulse, were driven in directions.
then, on pulse, they had to choose to go back into a linear path to proceed.
they could explore where they were for as long as they chose, but not really go anywhere. they had the ILLUSION of freedom while still being confined.
the music was great, too
Okay, you actually made me like it being linear. (I do wish I could go back to the beginning with harder enemies for leveling though)
+Michael Torssell
I'm glad I could let you see it another way
This is so beautiful, omfg
I like the Piano version better and for those 13 haters out there. Guess what. I LOVE THE FUCK OUT OF 13. Can we stop comparing it to FF7 PLEASE! I would like to think that each FF is different in it own way. As a big fan of 7 and 10 I would place 13 next to them. People say "Its too techy for me" Um when has FF ever not be a technical type game. Hell you have to plan just about every boss you run across. Then there are those who say "I wish they would go back to Turn Based Combat". Each one of the 13 games gave us something a little different along with a piece of the story. Paradigm Shifting was so easy once mastered it was like breathing. Lightning Returns while similar gave us something different with the Schemas. While I kept thinking "Oh God here we go again with the FFX-2 wardrobe change" I have to admit they are fun and a lot of them were not pointless. The game was made to be fast pace but to the point that you cant complete everything. If you dont like that Square Enix is trying to do something new why play the games to begin with?
And it's been years and I still love the song..
Whos listning in 2022?
Listen to "predge" from the game Nights Azure! I think they stole this song LMAO. TBH I like that version more and listen to it annually.
This is such a calming song :) I live it!
under what circumstances is FFXIII trilogy considered not a real Final Fantasy? I don't get it? I've played 7, 8, 10, tactics, I, II, and III and I don't understand how this new concept/great storyline doesn't stack up. Looking for clarification not a preachy story please.
never play 9?, GO PLAY 9 NOW!
bob fitz I love you Lizzy
I was listening to this when I saw 11:11 on my clock. It's a sign. Finally.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Finally one of my most ardent wishes is coming true. 😭😭😭

If you wanted this game to look or feel or sound like previous ff games, go play the old games instead. And if it was the same as previous games you would be hating as well. I love the XIII series.
I love it too , but the Grinding is annoying i have been Grinding for 30 Hours in the Taejin Tower and still i dont have a single ultimate weapon , or one of those Super Expensive weapons in the gilgamesh Store
+theraiden115 Another moron it has nothing to do with the different look, FF14 is loved and 15 is getting high praise from most FF fans... 13 was just garbage and made easy for people who don't game
+Minene Uryuu922 I have all the ultimate weapons. I got the platinum trophy for the game
*****
the reason i didnt grind with adamantoises was because of my bad luck in the Game (killing Neochu with Death took me like 80 Tries ( with Vanilles best weapon on Tier 2 )

This is one of my favorite themes of all time!
ff13 was my first ff-game and even I realized how bad it was (mainly story and characters, battles also got boring after a while). The sole reason I managed to finish it was because I wanted to know how it ended and I wanted to have finished at least one ff-game. Graphics were great, cutscenes were amazing. And lastly this soundtrack is awesome.
I like the characters and the story but the battles became incredibly mountainous after about 2 hours...
play FF 7 or 10
you sure you didn't just buy it because you jumped on the bandwagon like the rest of the casual gamers and followed the promo materail and games like this aren't really your thing at all?? you sound like a casual gamer because you only mention the bare obvious basics of what made this game 'crap' but you didn't analyse the base story...also if you've played any final fantasy before you'd know this is basically how all of them go in some respect...but either way if this is your first, you hardly have the base coverage of the series to give an indepth criticism of why this game wasn't that great.
well I certainly am a FF-noob which I stated in my comment. . But I'm not a casual gamer. I have played games in all kinds of genres. mmos, moba, singleplayerrpg, rts, card games, round-based games, shooters. I have read/seen enough fictional stories to be able to judge if a story is bad or not. Mind you, it's all just my own opinion and not sth I'm forcing onto others. It wasn't my intention to analyze ff13 which is exactly why I made such a broad statement about the basic criteria. I'm not sure what u mean by band wagon. I played ff13 at least 4 years after its release.
u should play ff13 lightning returns its a open world and u can dodge attacks and chose attacks not like where u take the hits and attack bk its my favorite ff game
love this song and i love all the games best games ever my fave one is lighting she is the best love all the games and thanks for bring out final fantasy lighting returns and i got it and its epic thanks so much C:
