Whenever I replay XIII I use cheat engine to remove the crystarium chapter limits for uncapped party development
Are there any good mods for this game?

Did Hope and Light /ss/?

should I play the second and third games?

Yes

Yes. I'd post some of my collection but my fucking range is blocked again.

This game's world looked really nice but you are barely given any time to appreciate it because you're just running through it all in a straight line.

>Using Light/Fang/Hope before Stage 9 Crystarium

What a fucking scrub, I bet you think you need stagger to kill most enemies in this game.

>Death spammer
Opinion discarded

>what the fuck was his problem
His mother died.

He's a retarded emo dumbass. The only worse character in that game is the plain old retarded dumbass Snow.

FFXIII was stupid and immemorable

Hope wasn't exactly wrong when he said Snow tricked his mother into fighting. The dumbass was was recruiting people to "fight back", trying to act like a comic book hero and a leader. But his grand strategy ended up just being "run at the enemy across an open bridge and punch things while a fucking ARMORED AIRSHIP is firing missiles at everything". He even brags to his friends (and later to Hope's face that "heros don't need plans"), and that very mentality keeps getting everyone around him slaughtered including Hope's mom.

Oh my god. Thank you for saying this. I fucking hate Snow. Who the fuck made him? Did they really think he'd come off as anything remotely close to likeable? Holy shit...… like, I can't even

Death is shit for the instakill property though. Its only real use is getting an early growth egg from Neochu and dealing insane damage against Long Guis.

just play the games

Having summoned creatures who stick around and fight alongside you is pretty nice.

Aren't they like digimons and the digi destined? How gaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy

Not if you're on Stage 9 only.

Transformers Summons were cool as shit. If only they put more thought into Gestalt movesets as it mostly boiled down to spamming one move.

Can someone explain to me and this is a brainlet as fuck question, why backgrounds like these, is easier to run than say an open world?

Currently replaying this game at the moment. It's still a gorgeous looking game even by today's standards plus the enemy/boss design is really good. Sadly the story telling is ass and the pacing of the game is just so lack luster.

Enemy, Enemy, Enemy, Cut Scene, Repeat.

can you stop pretending like FFXIII wasn't literally a straight line and THE Final Fantasy game that introduced "press 1 button for several hours to win"

I still can't believe they did the same shit in XV. Un-fucking-believable

just look around, why do you need the game to tell you when you are allowed to enjoy the scenery or not

XIII has way more stupid plot holes than that.

Vanille has 3 holes. Which does Fang choose?

I'm no programmer but it depends on the game. Generally speaking open world have a lot more shit going on that they gotta render, and it all depends how complex, how well made, and optimized it is. For instance some garbage ass looking game like kenshi with a lot of AI doing a lot of shit runs like ass while many super pretty games run smooth. But generally speaking a pretty static background isnt very complex so it's easier to run.

>can you stop pretending like FFXIII wasn't literally a straight line
thats almost every JRPG. chrono trigger is exactly like this.

That meme hold one button has existed from even during the SNES era FFs though.

Why don't you play FFXIII since you love it so much

Oh, you can't because it's so fucking boring? Then shut the fuck up

Why did they make him so damn cute?

Autobattle is a meme and an incredibly boring and inefficient way to play the game. Manual command entry+Repeat is better 90% of the time. There's more strategy in tailoring your Paradigm deck and equipment for each encounter to kill efficiently than there is in most RPGs.

Yeah well FFXIII is the first in the series in which pressing only 1 button is 100% guaranteed to get you through the entire game with zero failure rate. Honestly how the fuck can you call that a game? It's not a game.

This isnt remotely true

I really liked the story and setting in 13 but the sequels completely shit on it imo, without the setting and story to fall back on they aren't very good, fucking time travel and immortality and shit, stupid as hell

>Autobattle is a meme and an incredibly boring and inefficient way to play the game. Manual command entry+Repeat is better 90% of the time. There's more strategy in tailoring your Paradigm deck and equipment for each encounter to kill efficiently than there is in most RPGs.
everything you said is irrelevant since 2 out of 3 members of your party are forced to auto battle with zero control over their actions other than switching their jobs
the game is built around auto battle, that's not a meme, that's fact

>autobattle
Pressing this button makes you win every fight.
In FFXII you had to equip good gambits to do that and even then it wouldn't work all the time.

it isn't but ok, if you press auto battle without trying or understanding the mechanics you will get walled pretty early on.

He was just trying to cope, he realizes this eventually

Why are there holes in his boots? He isn't even wearing socks, how the fuck are those supposed to protect his feet?

You're right. This design is ass. His armguard is also on his left arm... Is he left handed? And is he really trying to fight with that stupid string wrapped around his right arm? That's bound to cause problems. And why are there so many dangly parts on his outfit? Are you sure this guy is a fighter? He looks more like a clown to me

I think I kinda get it. So in an open world, the world renders according to what the camera can see? And game's like GoW or the Division where each areas are simply “static backgrounds” that are “stitched” together. That's why the graphical fidelity is so high. In division your camera only sees a few blocks forward and an avenue in the middle of it. That would save a lot of resource. And pop ins occurs because the world is not “loaded” properly, is that it? Is that why when a bridge is not loaded, the character just falls through the floor. Like that one webm. of that PS4 zombie game.

Because it's just a background. In an open world you need to have something that looks good even when you're close since you can go there.

Dont be a bigger faggot snow is a shit character. The only redeeming factor about him is that his weapon is rhinestones on his jacket. So canonically he has to bedazzle his fag jager anytime you change his equipment.

On topic ffxiii was a really uhhh something title. It took me forever to recognize it was a rhythm game instead of a jrpg. And all the characters except Sahz are fucking cunts. Hope as a child doesnt get a pass but gets a an excuse since children are basically poorly written characters already.

I have a weird love hate relationship with XIII. It's not bad but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it unless someone was going out of their way to play all FF titles.

yeah but I forgot, so it's the games fault

You get a vision, but good luck figuring out what it means.

Isn't the whole point of the game that they are pissed off about having a vision they can't interpret decide their fate?

Now the part I don't get is they find out they are supposed to destroy Orphan, and basically say "fuck you we aren't doing it." And then in the next scene they do it anyway.

Snow is shit.

Your vision is basically a not funny or coherent YouTube poop. So yeah you have to not only find out what it is but also complete it within an arbitrary short time period or turn into a demon robot statue thing.

I thought the blurry visions were exclusive only to Lightning and co. so that they don't immediately off themselves.

I agree.

No, you get turned into a shiny rock to dream forever if you complete the job. If you don't, then you get turned into a monster.

it only worked on enemies that were designed around being poisoned
so no

Not really. Sure you could cheese a couple of post game bosses with it, but in general in was quicker to just kill your enemies with stagger and atb refresh.

Their other option was turning into a ci'eth, so they took a gamble, and it paid off, since the goddess etro intervenes, changing their focus and brand in the process.

Pretty much the entire story is in the datalogs and not the actual game, anyone that says it doesn't make sense just didn't bother reading the logs.

I still to this day can't decide if i actually like or hate FFXIII, it was beyond retarded in many different ways however it was a fun kind of stupid, also hope can die in a fire for all i care, literally worst party member, completely fuck useless and a whiny little bitch, even in XIII-2 where he loses the kid excuse along with being old as shit cause time bullshit because lightning is retarded.
seriously though, part of the way to actually get enjoyment out of the game is realizing this game trilogy is what happens when you throw a giant pack of dumbasses and watch the stupid shit unfold. only ones with half a brain are Sazh and Fang, but Fang is too lesbo to realize how dumb her party is half the time.

Reminds me back when this game first came out, fags were arguing that "hold x to win" was real and you could beat any boss with Rav/Med/Sen without paradigm shifting.

there are plenty of fights where this is not true.

SAB/RAV/RAV is an underrated paradigm. SAB abilities actually add some decent amount chain duration and chain bonus, they even hit twice if the status procs.

No. If we exclude two person fights that make that strat impossible: Doom exists, and some bosses heal. And I'm pretty sure there's a hard time limit on the final boss that isn't doom.

Some said Commando. The argument was still silly.

I always think it's funny how Lightning gets shafted until LR.

This series was the only time FF did ATB right
that includes you too X-2

Well the crashes are representative of the game's balance so if you actually liked XIII's combat to get real in depth with it you'd probably be disappointed with XIII-2. As for the story I think it's really not worth paying attention to.

Is there any fix for XIII-2 crashes? I was gonna play it next. Over a period of 6 months like this game
