Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

and they tried hard to please the fans with XII-2 and now Lightning Returns, while retaining THEIR Idea of THEIR Game.



What if you developed a sequel to your childhood dream game and changed it up a bit and everyone would hate you then?
Then you'd try really hard to still get your ideas through while pleasing your fans and everyone still hates you?

Notice I've never said any smack about XIII-2. If XIII-2 was the original XIII, then the only complaint is the non-existence of the main Final Fantasy themes, which of course, would be nitpicks.

Retro Studios does this all the f*cking time with no fail... Don't add stupid sh*t that have nothing to do with the formula.

Well, i was thinking you where talking about the XIII-Games in general. ¬_¬

I just aksed "Why is there a FFXIII-3" Cause, I don't see why they couldn't give FFXIII-2 a happy conclusive ending and call it a night. The game was great and showed that Square hasn't completely f*cking lost it. To me, making a XIII-3 is kinda pushing it, especially with fans being very impatient for KH3 and Versus XIII

Those arent the same development teams though.

The Kingdom Hearts Team just recently put out Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance and the Versus XIII Team...
they're taking a nap or something.

Right, this team is working on FFXIV A Realm Reborn, which looks f*cktons a lot better than XIII-3 right now.

They're probably waiting for the next-gen consoles to announce Final Fantasy XV.

But the Wii U is out now...

But the Wii U is out now...

I dont think anyone is talking about the Wii U when talking about next-gen consoles. lol
I dont think there are any developers that care about the Wii U either, when talking about next-gen projects - hence why the talk is always about "upcoming next-gen consoles."

Infact, i dont think anyone even cares about porting current gen games to the Wii U.
I mean, look at all these 360/PS3 games in 2013 coming to the Wii U!

Infact, i dont think there is anyone that cares about the Wii U... period.

Most people view it as a Dreamcast of this Generation.
A Weird Middle-Thing, not really next-gen but not really current-gen either.

How the f*ck can you judge any of those things from the LAUNCH GAMES!!? It's like the PSVita all over again...

I am not speaking for me here, i'm just saying what i believe Developers and the (Mainstream) Gamer is thinking. What i observe.
We will find out the fate of the Wii U at E32013.

And no, this situation is not like the Vita's.
Sony rode the Vita train down the hill by themselves while the Wii U will most likely be at the same spot as the Wii.
That is my guess anyway, again, we'll see at E3.

That's GT's opinion, what's your point?

The Dreamcast was actually impressive for its time though.
The Wii U is definitely current gen tech-wise considering it is not noticeably more powerful than the 360 or PS3.

I say Wii-U is more powerful cause it has seamless transitions between checking the web browser and going back to the game from what I've seen.

Also, isn't it still too early to cast away the Wii U?

That's odd, because I've heard that the Wii U OS is very slow at loading things. And even if it were fast, a speedier OS doesn't mean much when the games look the same.

I'm not casting away the Wii U, but it seems like it's just going to be the Wii all over again, albeit less successful.

Because the console isn't even a year old, I'll blame the deelopers for the games looking the same, not the console

I mean, early PS3 games looked like pretty PS2 games, and remember early Xbox360?
