How come most people seem to absolutely hate FFXIII...

How come most people seem to absolutely hate FFXIII, yet in all Gacha games Lightning ends up as a massive cashcow and people claim to absolutely love Lightning, spending hundreds to get her? Same goes to FFXV and Noctis to some degree. Just that FFXV kinda managed to get some fans.

Because the characters are popular does not mean the games are good

People want to fuck Cloud, male and female.

I dont get what so great about Lightning
She's not that hot

Protagonists are always cashcows. I personally still despise her in every game she has appeared in except Lightning Returns.

Her sister is way better.

Noctis is a good character in a shit game, as all his crossover appearances prove.
Lightning is Cloud with a vagina, so people wanna fuck her.

fit older sister/mom character that slaps party members around and doesn't whine about small stuff and fights with power, skill and some grace mixed in. seems pretty chill and level headed the majority of the time. becomes an actual time goddess and tries to save the world and fight god.

FFXIII had some really great design, especially for characters and creatures; despite the boring gameplay
also, most people didn't actually hate the game, they just disliked the lackluster battle system

Its pretty funny that Noctis is more fun to play in the games hes in as a crossover character than in his own fucking game.

He's an interesting dude in XIV. It's weird.

Because people who play gacha games are retarded so it makes sense they'd have shit taste in other things.

Waifufaggots aren't gamers. In fact, waifufaggots aren't even people.

Becouse shes a great character in a shitty game

At least they are pretty fucking easy to milk. Shit out some generic animechicks drawn by some chink, make them super rare and boom, tons of money out of a bunch of pixels. Its pretty fucking sad how easy it is to make money these days.

>Sex sells
tell me about it

I don't play gachashit and I thought Lightning was amazing in OG FFXIII

?
She's bland as fuck.

>She's bland as fuck.
Only in the sequels

The battle system was great.
It is the 20h tutorial that is bullshit.

Even in the original. The idea is good, the execution is shit. Pretty much the story of the whole game. Like
the battle system is great in theory. In practice it's a sleeker but simplified X-2 without any engaging content to use it on, do you're left with nothing but optimization in an easy game. 13-2 is better for gameplay, but still lacking as a whole.

TL;DR, fuck Toriyama, he's awful at directing projects and a bunch of good ideas floundered because of his incompetence.
