Gamasutra Analysis: The Conundrum of Final Fantasy XIII

Gamasutra features director Christian Nutt predicts Final Fantasy XIII will be one of the most polarizing games of 2010 -- in this column, he explores what's left when "RPG elements" are removed from an RPG.

It's an established tenet of game development these days that you can add "RPG elements" to a game to bring extra depth and stickiness. In fact, you could call it a cliche.

"RPG elements" are a big part of what separated and elevated Castlevania: Symphony of the Night from its predecessors in 1997. On the other hand, cinematic presentation is what attracted a huge number of gamers to Final Fantasy VII that same year -- gamers who would never have dreamed of playing an RPG otherwise.

But when you start subtracting RPG elements from a game that people think of as an RPG, what does that get you? That's the question that Final Fantasy XIII raises, and is likely to be why it's one of the most polarizing games of 2010 when it's released in the Western market.

ahaahahahahahahahahahah

a hong kong magazine gave this game a 4/10 calling it the biggest joke of 2009

Scenario: 2.0 — "An epic tear jerker"
System: 1.0 — "Such a crude system barely warrants being called an RPG at all."
Graphics: 9.0 — "Full marks here."
Sound: 7.0 — "Mostly quality."
Enthusiasm: 1.0 "As if you could play this for 100 hours! I could put up with 8."
Total: 4.0 — "To think it got this bad…"

^^Lol, that really is "Too amazing to ignore":lol:

I wonder how the fans will respond to that.

Apparently the review was so intense and surprising that even the magazine issued a disclaimer calling the journalist in question a "non-gamer" and "borderline-retarded." So yeah, if you value the opinion of retarded non-gamers in Hong Kong, steer clear of Final Fantasy XIII!

(lmao)(lmao)

So how does an "epic tear jerker" manage to get a mere 2.0 ?

Haven't seen a bigger FAIL in a long time :lol:

FFXIII had soo much content deleted from it, it could create an additional game

Final Fantasy XIII art director Isamu Kamikokuryou has revealed that enough content was cut from the final product to make an additional game.
Kamikokuryou revealed that the development team created a large amount of areas that didn't make the final product unfortunately in a recent Japanese magazine (spotted by FF-Reunion, translated by adirasang). One part not included in the game, was a full area, surrounding Lightning's home, supposedly a park.
The game has gone down a storm in Japan since it was released in mid-December, and is expected to hit Europe and the US in early March.
