ThePunishedSnake: SE fixed this in a patch.

menganogog: Good day everyone.

Few days ago I saw in Humble Store Final Fantasy XIII had been released on PC. I haven't played a Final Fantasy game for any years and I think maybe it could be a good chance since the game is on sale for 6,49 euros. My questions are: is it a good game? How is the story, music, characters? Do it worth?

I do this questions because I've heard it's a extremely linear game, but this point is not necessary a bad point for me if it has a worth story to tell me in change. The last Final Fantasy game for me was X in ps2 ( I've play VII, VIII, XIX, and X).

I don't like specially jrpgs or anime style but Final Fantasy saga were my first incursion with some kind or rpg before know other rpg games and I'd like to remind old times so I'd like to hear what you think about FFXIII.

Another point, a friend told me he bought VII and VIII PC version and he needed to register a Square Enix account. I'm not a fan of DRM and I hate to create a SE account since Steam it required . FFXIII need this SE account too?

It'd be great have classics Final Fantasy here on GOG someday :)

Thanks you very much in advance.

jadeblackhawk: In my opinion, the only way this game is still selling is the FF name. If it was just called "Lightning" or something, it would have disappeared into the ether a long time ago, much less spawned two sequels. I certainly wouldn't pay more than $5 for this game, on any platform, unless the only thing you like about rpgs is the grind.

snowkatt: why would ANYBODY like grinding ?

and i havent seen anybody awnsering the thread starters question about the squeenix account

no you dont need an account to play 13
its only needed for 7

and maybe 8

3 4 and 13 do with out

jadeblackhawk: I've played some games where the battles are enjoyable (like Magna Carta) I don't mind the grind, but that's all there really is to this game.

snowkatt: too bad ff 13 has more problems then could ever be fixed with a patch

im ignoring ff 13 in my steam library in favor of 4
and i wotn touch 13 untill some mods have been released for it

ThePunishedSnake: FFIV remake is really, really good.

Enebias: I remember that Jim Sterling wrote a review about FF13 using very appropriate words: if you are interested, here's the link.

ThePunishedSnake: FFIV remake is really, really good.

snowkatt: i rather like ff 4 so far
probably because there is no weeaboo animu bullshit
no emo wangtsy spikey teenagers and no godawfull amount of 40 minute melodramatic cutscenes that go nowhere

realkman666: 3, 4, 13 and 13-2 are shit, 8 is not great, but can be made better with a sound mod. FF on PC is pretty much the avoid zone.
realkman666: The chibi 14 fps one?

paladin181: FFIV on PC is just a port of the DS version I already have. It's pretty cool to see it get some voice and 3d graphics that aren't great, but not horrid either. The game feels dated still, but not in a bad way. And Cecil is plenty emo and whiny during the game right until he makes his big change. But it's still a decent game and of they brought FF VI to PC like that I'd snap it up in a heartbeat.

snowkatt: and that is anyway worse then the 2d jaggy sprite version on the snes ?
yeah cecil si emo and whiny but he is just one person
its not the whole team
and he isnt a whiny wangsty teenager either

snowkatt: i hate grinding its one of the things i detest the most about jrpg's
fighting battles is fine but random fucking battles AND grinding ?

RGH !
