FANGThat's it. That's the post.
She has that effect on people
LOL that's a fair assessment
But yeah, it's still fun and very entertaining.

Today I learned that Light knows how to hug people too, which was really nice to see, and the further into the game, the more personality she allows herself to show. Neat. I definitely like her a lot.
But one thing that annoys the hell out of me is-- no, not even corridors, haha-- it's how imbalanced the difficulty is. I struggled with Eidolons, I struggled with some bosses, and now it's just the same. First you run around and casually wipe mobs out, but then you're faced with a big ass airship that eliminates your entire party within less than a minute. I hate dying in boss fights and redoing them multiple times, and I hate looking up fighting strategies, but I often just don't have enough imagination or patience to come up with them myself.
Oof. Wish me luck. I really want to see where this story is going.

I'm halfway through The Palamecia (Chapter 9).
Snow has never been SO useless. It was fun a while ago when his defence characteristics were really the only way to deal mith mini-bosses in Palumpolum, but now? Dragging him along but he's not even a party member? Not even an optional one? This game

Snow's the kind of FF character who is whatever you make with him. While Fang makes an effective sentinel, Snow is the better one. Snow also is an effective spellcasting Ravager, because he has the shortest casting time of all characters. And his high physical attack makes him a really good commando.
Snow is actually really versatile. He's arguably best at being the punching bag sentinel tank but if you wish to make him a spellslinging mage, he works that way too.

I’m just gonna add my thoughts that XIII is definitely a good game and totally underrated. People didn’t mind the hallway gameplay in X!
The visual design of the world and the lore really stir the imagination, and the characters are great. Okay, so the plot’s a little insane, but I think the game as an entire package really draws me in.

I mean, I don't hate XIII and have played most of the way through it but like, corridor gameplay in X didn't feel like corridors because the environmental design was beautiful and varied and not.... a literal corridor lol.

Picked XIII again after putting the game on hold for a while. Just began chapter 12 and this is my current set up:
- Lighting (com/rav/med): Gladius gunblade at tier 2 maxed.
- Hope (rav/syn/med): Hawkeye boomerang at tier 2, to be maxed.
- Vanille (rav/sab/med): Pearlwing staff at tier 2, to be maxed.
Since chapter 10 I've been running that team when possible, plan to eventually add Fang (with Taming Pole spear at tier 2, to be maxed) and replace either Hope or Vanille with her.
Started to notice that some enemies HPs are skyrocketting into the millons, including regular foes, not just bosses.
Should finish the story in a few days but before doing that I plan to complete the LV5 crystarium for the main 3 roles of the characters.

It doesn't feel like it though. I had such a good time playing this for the first time. The internet in 2010 was like "FFXIII IS GARBAGE, IT'S A CORRIDOR SIMULATOR!!"

I bought XIII for the XBox 360 a month or so after it released because I didn't have a PS3, and borrowed my brother's XBox to play it. I think I enjoyed it. I know I really enjoyed it my second time through a few months later when I actually understood what was going on XD.
Ironically I got these for crimbo ~today~:
Never read them before but I will now!
SE need to do a trilogy remaster/ re-release. No matter what you think of the XIII trilogy it's weird they've left it hostage on two console generations ago. It's pretty playable via like, PS Now streaming/ XBox backwards compat and PC will always be PC, but I think one will come at some point.

Still holding out hope that they translate Reminiscence -tracer of memories- someday.
Also wild that XIII can be considered "retro" enough for DF to cover it.

Ngl ever since they announced they have all this archive footage I've been waiting with baited breath for the FFVII PS3 tech demo. The best quality available is IGN's screen recording.Alternatively, just watch it directly

I just love seeing Final Fantasy 13 get the love it deserves! I'm glad I missed both the hype and the hate so I could play it without being affected by others' opinions.
I'm throwing my hat in the ring for both a remaster AND a remake, for as much as I love it I still think it had a lot of missed potential. Although I'm wondering where the heck the remaster is??? Why haven't they done it yet?
Anyway here's Guardian Corps member concept art.

This is just the cycle of FF fans, first they hate the newest entry and call it the worst thing to happen, but a few years later, they turn out and say this was the greatest thing ever to exist. FFXV is going through a similar phase right now.

Since I low-key dislike Hopurai (even though it's apparently popular in Japan), I've decided to ship Lightning with the woman in the Guardian Corps concept art. She's Lightning's good friend until the events of 13, where she decides to kill the cast because she's fine with kicking Ragnarok down the road by having Barthandelus keep looking for suitable l'Cie to carry out his wishes, hopefully forever. Until the end of Oerba where Barthandelus has Cid become primarch and I can't remember why but there's no point in not destroying Orphan anymore, and then she joins the party.
