    People may not like ff13 but I think I played it at the right time. I was playing a bunch open world games and it was getting bland and I gave ff13 a try and was happy that it was linear. It's not not my top favorites but ff13-3 is and therefore it kinda squeezes in cuz it's part of the trilogy

    My only experience with the PC port of FFXIII was recently as I no longer have my PS3 to play my original copy of the game. I would have never imagined the PC version was how this game was run for a while. The modern experience of trying to get that game to run is appalling on Steam. I couldn't even make it through chapter 1. Really want to replay it so hoping they do a remaster or something on PS5.

    hum, is it allowed for speedruns to run the PS3 version from an SSD? i currently have my PS3 slim with an SSD and my copy of FXIII ripped to the SSD to not use the disc.

    • @mrzwanzig460
      @mrzwanzig460 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's not actually a question that has come up before. Just using an SSD normally doesn't seem to matter for FF13, since it reads everything from disc anyway, but I imagine actually installing it on there would provide an advantage. However, since this can't be done through legitimate means, I imagine it would have to be banned.

    • @unlimitedslash
      @unlimitedslash 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@mrzwanzig460Welp, i think that taking into account that more and more discs will disappear, get damaged etc, playing a "legally" ripped copy should be allowed for speedrunning, noting that it should be your own legally obtained copy of the game. As I said I own my game legally, since the disc is clearly used, only "illegal" stuff i did is install an hybrid firmware on my PS3 Slim, and using one of the tools included on the firmware i copied the data on my disk to the internal SSD of the console to avoid using the disk and possibly damaging it, as far as i know that data is pure and untouched.

    I always found it weird how FF13 got so much hate for its linearity and lack of minigames n stuff to do. But FF7R was praised endlessly. I am a massive FF7 fan and I think FF13 and FF15 are better games than FF7R.

  • @ribbitcoffee-x-tea7723
    @ribbitcoffee-x-tea7723 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've never understood the hate for this game, "linear" sure if you just stare at the map you'll get that feeling I guess. The environments are beautiful and dynamic enough to not feel boring personally and combat is always a joy, it sure feels like "auto battle" at the start but its entirely necessary to give you a grip on the combat slowly ramping it up each chapter.

      im someone who absolutely adores this game but to be fair theres not really a whole lot to do in each area and thats where i think the whole "linear" thing stems from, for instance other entries were fairly linear as well but its rarely ever brought up as a criticism because they still had npcs, sidequests, shops etc. to fill out the worlds, as for the gameplay i completely agree, its my favorite combat system in the series for a reason

    • @mrzwanzig460
      @mrzwanzig460 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You're not entirely wrong. Orphan 2 specifically is vulnerable to Death, though only when staggered. But your chances of landing it are still quite bad, and even if you would land it first try every time, it isn't worth it because you would have to lead with Vanille, which is MUCH worse for the previous two fights, not to mention the sacrifices you'd have to make in the Crystarium to afford it.

      "Elite gamers" Dude, I beat this game when I was 11. Use the ravage paradigm, then assault, and change to medic if needed, that's 99% of the game's encounters.The reason is so hated upon is its clear focus on linearity and lack of exploration, going back to areas, etc. It's not a bad game, but secluding by saying a group of people don't like it because is for "elite gamers" is just so far off.

      @@rs3daily587 Correct! the game is actually rather easy to find the easiest path through when it comes to the combat. However, the difficulty and challenge comes from optimizing it. You can easily get THROUGH the game's combats, but doing so quickly or stylishly can be incredibly rewarding. It's an example of a game with a low skill floor, and a high skill ceiling.
