Will Final Fantasy XIII eclipse Final Fantasy XII’s Plot Confusions?
I certainly hope so…
After witnessing a disastrous storyline unfurl in front of my 12′ inch television screen, I had to agree with some Final Fantasy XII dissers scattered around Youtube and unofficial Final Fantasy forums because if there’s something that I have to undo if I were Enix’s project manager then it will be the whole story. From start to finish, the experience was excruciating and inconsistent plot jumps made me question Vaan’s purpose and role.
He was there to avenge Reks? So what, we’ve all heard about gut-wrenching tales of party vengeance and Empire rebellion – the overdose of cliche in this game is so obvious that the only factor that made Final Fantasy XII a “good game” is because of the Gambits – using pre-installed commands even before a battle starts is revolutionary and believable than turn-based combat, nonetheless, XII failed in many more ways the one.
Final Fantasy XIII will hit stores this March 9, 2010 and, the hype that the gaming industry gave this title is so enormous that it already became a candidate for 2010′s Game of the Year. I’m not going to spoil anything just yet because only the Japanese will do that for us – the North American version is coming and I know PS3 and XBox 360 users are all excited for Square Enix’s launch of another exciting Final Fantasy voyage.
Final Fantasy games have endured media pressures and this by far is one of the biggest of them all. The very first for the PlayStation 3 and a start for the XBox 360 – how gigantic will it be? Who knows.
We’ll have to wait and see if graphics will push both next-gen consoles to the limit or will gameplay appear as convoluted with added elements unknown to Final Fantasy gamers? Hopefully, at this time around, Enix focused on the story (much like what Atlus did with the Persona series) and give our new over-the-edge characters distinction and roles. A kick-ass story plus solid gameplay, memorable musical scores and smooth graphics equals a Final Fantasy game to be remembered for all eternity.
Stay tuned for an in-depth review of Final Fantasy XIII. Soon!
