So Square has a huge sale on PSN. I just bought Final Fantasy X HD, Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lighting Returns. Can we have a Square Enix thread? Hyped as fuck for Kingdom Hearts 2.8, Kingdom Hearts 3, Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy XV
>>342541876
>I just bought ... Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lighting Returns.
I'm so sorry
Anyone want to talk about Unlimited Saga? It has a large cast of fun characters!
>>342541968
I heard that 13-2 and LR are WAY better than 13. I hated 13 so I didn't buy 13-2 and LR but from what I heard, the sequels fix all the shit wrong with 13 except the godawful story
Just beat KH1 on Proud, currently doing Hades Cup and various other secret boss stuff. Do I bother with CoM or skip to 2?
>>342542218
>I heard that 13-2 and LR are WAY better than 13.
They aren't.
XIII-2 is a legit pretty decent game with one of the better FF villains and one of the better FF protags (Noel, not Serah).
Don't listen to retard memers. The game will always be shit on just because XIII was trash, and XIII-2 still has "XIII" in the title.
>>342541876
They have a bigger sale on PC.It's called emulation.
>>342542218
>godawful
You should have pre-ordered Call of Duty instead.
>>342542484
>XIII-2 is a legit pretty decent game with one of the better FF villains
Are you seriously talking about Edgy Von Cuckius? The guy who was designed by saying "let's make Sephiroth again but better!"?
>>342542218
>all the shit wrong with 13 except the godawful
XIII-2 thankfully doesn't revolve around the terrible L'Cie/Fal'Cie/Ci'eth shit from the first game.
Still some elements of it and references, but it's largely back burner.
>classics don't have trophy suppor
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Dank maymays Anon.
>>342542989
Unfortunately JRPGs are so susceptible to satire by memes because they are highly emotive works rather than the sterile brown and bloom of wandering the wastes and fixing broken junk like Fallout
>>342542218
>>342542484
13-2 is, without question, one of the most retarded games ever produced. People claiming that it's better than FF13 are just plain wrong. When you manage to have a plot and characters worse than what you would find in a Tales of Faggotry game you know you fucked up.
>>342542484
But Bart from XIII actually is one of the best FF villains
>>342543381
>13-2
>Worse characters
Fuck you. Noel is more likable the entire XIII cast put together. And Caius was a fantastic villain
>>342544158
This so much. Square really nailed it with Noel and Caius. It's surprising that characters with that much depth and development came from the XIII trilogy.
>>342543381
so this is the power of shit taste
>>342542414
If you hate Card-Based Combat then just watch the cutscenes on Youtube. Actually, just watch the cutscenes on Youtube. The only good thing CoM has going for it is the story and characters.
I nabbed Chrono Trigger and FFVI. I'm loving practically everything about FFVI save for the 10-second loading screen for menus and battle-map transitions
>>342542802
>The guy who was designed by saying "let's make Sephiroth again but better!"?
And they succeeded
>>342544158
>>342544721
>Noel; Likable
dude was the whiniest bitch that I've seen in a long time.
>Caius; fantastic villain
LITERALLY SEPHIROTH 2.0
>depth and development
Their entire depth is "We like this girl, she's fated to die, one of us is not okay with that and is gonna go back in time to save her, which by the way causes all the other Yuel deaths that happened up and down the timeline ever. The other is okay with it because he understand Time is Time and so tries to stop the other from fucking up." That's it. That's their characters.
Unrelatedly, to OP, Lightning Returns is actually damn good. The combat feels good, the story is decent, the gameplay mechanic is alright, the only issue with it is that the game is based around having a certain number of days to exist, 13 in fact, and you can get the story line quests done in 4 or 5 easily, so once that's over you're sorta left wandering aimlessly doing side quests until the next plot point kicks in.
>All these gen z'ers touting caius as their generation's Sephiroth when that only exposes their horrible taste for liking anything remotely like Sephiroth
>>342546065
Noel's future is completely fucked, the girl he loves is destined to die and his best friend turned fucking evil. You would be pretty pissed off too. But he came across as likable.
BEST FF VILLAIN COMING THROUGH.
>>342547814
That's the gayest shit I've ever seen.
>>342548173
Kind of, he thinks he is some sort of greek god, his fucked up background helps you understand to some extent why he dresses and acts like this.the bottom part of his ''dress''conceals an important detail about him too
>>342547814
Literally gay Raditz

If you hate the load times in 6 then you're going to blow your brains out playing Chrono Trigger

Fixed but not bad taste.
>>342549152
reported this shit marketing thread

So close.
>12 so low on the list
Such just.
>>342550974
1 hasn't aged that well
>>342546065
>LITERALLY SEPHIROTH 2.0
is that a bad thing?
>>342550661
Honestly, I'd have killed for this level of information dump 8 years ago, but I feel like by the time it comes out, it'll be as though I already played.
>>342551327
It's really not that much info, just some mechanics.
So far we know literally nothing about the second half of the game or the main villain, which is impressive. I wonder if they are pulling a Sephiroth.
>>342547814
liked his music, but he really was just a douchy crybaby fag throwing a tantrum just because he wasn't as perfect as he thought he was.

>>342551565
What exactly is "pulling a Sephiroth"?
>>342550231
>it's ok to viral market Steam sales but not PSN sales
>>342551658
Sephiroth back in 97 wasn't that much marketed and his reveal was made as a sort of mystery reveal in-game, with the blood trails and all that.
i honestly am interested in xiii-2 even though i didn't even finish the first one.
funny how that works
>>342550661
Damn that sounds nice. There's even fucking shields that's awesome. I just hope there's a lot of different upgrades for each category, I want to dual wield some badass daggers and get a sweet sword. Pls square. Don't pull a XIII where I'm using the same weapon all game that gets boosted manually.
>>342549152
I actually agree, nice list.
>>342551926
13-2 is a good game.
>Exploration
>Plenty of sidequest
>Likable characters
>Great music
>>342551565
Well, you have a point. I look forward to just NPC watching since it looks to have Witcher levels of people doing their own thing.
Is it just me or is the PSN store website down?
>>342552689
nah it's definitely fucked atm
i'm gonna get drakengard, and i am genuinely going to get xiii-2 since it's been nagging me for years.
gonna grab front mission as well because vita
>>342550661
Neat. FF XV is looking impressive. Was afraid it would be utter shit after that Microsoft conference
>>342550661
I'll still probably get it for the atmosphere but the newest demo and that god awful Titan battle almost killed all of my hype.
Why is the sale on the ps4 so shit? Not even FF7 with a good price man..
>>342551926
XIII-2's biggest flaw is the lack of content. Most of the areas are recycled with few changes in between eras, and the vast majority of enemies are from XIII. It's still good, but it's clear that it was made on a shoestring budget.
>>342550974
>RE:Coded above DDD
Just nope.
>>342545929
If you're playing on Vita you can use the fast loading option.
>>342549152
i feel lke 12 should be higher. but otherwise great taste.
Is Lightning Returns with playing? I enjoyed 13, 13-2 was ok but stopped playing halfway through and never finished.
>>342554861
there's a demo, i personally didn't like it
>>342554118
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfBpNoheWIo
In case you haven't watched. The Xbox conference Titan battle was terrible tho.
>>342554861
Yes. Best gameplay in the entire series. There is plenty of content and the music is good. Only real flaw is the story (lol lets make lightning literally jesus)
>>342542414
>>342545451
All that game had going for was the lore of what happened to half the Organization 13.
>>342554345
I like RE:Coded
It's BBS's card system with more combo potential.
>>342543381
counterpoint: 13-2 is more fun than 13
>>342554396
what is this
>>342545451
I wanted to like CoM, I really did. The card battles work better on a GBA because there's less to pay attention to.
At least the mini game from DDD was kinda fun.
Did Square murder that fat Asian who fucked up so hard at the Microsoft conference? He almost killed all the hype for XV all by himself. I assume he had to give Tabata the biggest blowjob before they brutally murdered him
FFX will, forever, be one of my favorite games ever.
>>342555885
CoM is brilliant while Re:CoM is shit. It worked so fucking well on GBA. Honestly, Re:CoM shouldn't have been made. Just make it a movie like Days and Re:Coded would have been so much better
>>342555952
What do you think happened to the protester at Tiananmen Square?
>>342556392
What should have happened was just have KH1 or a prototype KH2 combat system and leave the card battles for cutscenes. There was no reason to make the worst combat in the series.
i wish i had a good desktop that lets me see final fantasy 13 games in their full glory. no matter what people say here i liked the series.
>>342556015
Not saying I didn't kind of like X, because I did. But if you compare it to XIII you rapidly come to the conclusion that X was the beginning of the end.
Sad really.
is psn down right now? they took my money then immediately gave me an error
>>342556756
seems to be.
>>342556825
well fuck
gonna wait for tomorrow to see if there's a flash sale
This has got to be the most civil sqeenix thread Ive ever seen
>>342556860
Steam summer sale started today too, so everything's really hot right now. I couldn't even log in via browser for awhile.
>>342556562
Days combat was worse somehow. It was so boring, bland and repetetive. CoM at least tried to do something different even though it didn't work all that well. Days was a fucking chore to complete which is unheard because Kingdom Hearts games are known to be the defintion of fun
>>342556709
True, but FFX was the game of my childhood. Ironically enough I finally beat the main story on the PC ver, After almost 10 years of playing it.
>>342557058
i liked all the games and enjoyed 358. i thought the combat was good, and it was cool how different keyblades had different inputs when doing a combo. CoM was also good, i loved how unique it was and how intense battles got. only problem was how repepitive it was, which isn't that much of an issue in 358.
What are the best games on sale for ps4?
>>342557058
>Days was a fucking chore to complete
I don't know if it was supposed to be a Japanese salaryman simulator or not, but it sure had that effect. I don't remember which day I stopped on, but I do remember just quitting.
One of my favorite aspects though was the ability to play as other members and that one survival mission, which was my favorite side mission. Collecting emblems and smacking globs got old fast.
>site down
>console version of the store still works
spoopy
>>342549816
What a nigger, playing the worst versions
I grabbed Chrono cross though, thinking of getting Legend of the Dragoon.
>>342549152
switch 9 and 10 with 7 and 6 and you have a great list
Is I Am Setsuna suppose to be a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger? Impressed with what I've seen so far
>>342559168
Be careful, you mighttriggerthe Triggerfags :^)
>>342559583
They get triggered by I Am Setsuna?
>>342560206
They hate it.
>>342549152
1 should be lower, hell it should be switched with COM, and I'd switch DDD with Re:Coded but that's just me. I liked how fucking insane it got at the end.
The nostalgiafag in me says IV should be higher and VII is too high, I don't think X was all that good either but my FF taste is unorthodox
>>342549152
4 should be lower unless you're a nostalgiafag.
>>342560271
why? isn't it nice to have something so close to Chrono Trigger? I mean, it's not a Mighty No. 9/Megaman ordeal. I am Setsuna looks like it has effort put it
>>342560271
As a self appointed trigger fag my thoughts on it is it's better to have a spiritual successor at this point instead of a sequel. They can re-release Trigger however many times they want but I'd rather they continue that type of game with a new IP
>>342560392
>FF taste is unorthodox
>hate romance stories
>most of the games have some romantic focus
I hope Noctis and Luna don't get too mushy.
