Final Fantasy

[Spirit0fLight]

The most annoying part of the game for me are the, clock styled rift puzzles.

Not all the puzzles just the numbers on the clock face ones, it drives me insane.

The ending.
It was too short for a FF game.
The fact that it was basically half a game. Rest being DLC.
Couldn't have a proper 3rd part member.
Lightning was hardly in it.


They are my main points. I still really enjoyed it though.

Too much reused content from XIII.

what happened to the monsters with the big cinematic graphics with final fantasy 13-2 is a shame they are not there or are they

Monsters with big special attacks? I don't recall any in XIII, I know of a few in XIII-2 though.

agree there

endless convulted fetch quests did my head in

the ending was rubbush, i've yet to collect all the fragments and doubt I will to see this secret ending.

I hated that they made it impossible for you to fifnish the game with all the fragments in one run as a deliberate way to extend the game.

the fact that they intentionally left content out to sell later annoyed me

crystarium, monsters, equipment all over simplfied and the game was to easy up until the end boss and they throw you a serious difficulty pike.

oh and "towns" were rubbish no memeorable npcs like in 7 or 8 for example the libary girl in 8 that zell loved. 

all npcs were just copied and pasted

The full game telling us that we have buy stuff on the day it we bought the game and the fact that Caius didn't get much screen time cause he's awesome mainly because of his voice.

The "endless" fetch quests are side-quests, if you don't like them don't do it, simples.

Ending was fine. The way they left it open is strange more than annoying. They could've easily ended the game at multilpe points during the end of the story and it would've been fine, it's just really weird they showed their intentions to add story extending DLC.

Fact, no, probable, yes. The game has been out in 3 months in Japan, more than enough to develop new content for the game. While I believe it's probable some of the content was removed from the game, don't call it a fact when it's not a fact, it's a guess. They made their intentions for DLC very clear very shortly after announcing the game. On top of that, most of the cosmetic stuff is acceptable as it was probably developed during QA and bug test time when the art & design teams had nothing to do.

Crystarium and monsters is more indepth than XIII's. It's not just a straight level system this time and if you actually understand the system you can have a very profound effect on your characters ending statisitics. Weapons, indeed, were annoyingly simplified, but that is actually consumers fault as many people complained that XIII's simple weapons upgrade system was "over complicated".

Mentioned this with XIII and I'll mention it again, towns are annoying and a waste of time. The way Final Fantasy fans talk about them being almost a requirement in a game is very ridiculous and drives me nuts. Fortunately XIII-2 only had 1 village and 1 town, a good amount to flesh out the game world.

Tbh I hate the story- but then for me any time-travel plot is always a big no no, they just seem to create more questions than answers. I was also a bit disappointed with the ending, I mean without spoiling anything, I thought that what they implied was brave and unexpected- but there was so much left unanswered for it to be any sort of conclusion. I'm guess I'm just used to FF's having nice rounded off endings, though I suppose we are living in the DLC era now! :/

On a positive note though I love the gameplay- battle system is awesome and the monster companions are a nice addition to this.

Also, to the OP http://clockpuzzle.pl/

This site is awesome and saved me many hours of frustration!

what the hell happened to Alyssa!? no one can defend DLC when the content is already on the disc...
I'm ok with it when developers have actually put effort into the DLC like with fallout or oblivion
