FINAL FANTASY® XIII

i really like this game i used to have it for ps3 but never got to finish it due to the console stopping working and now ive been playing here on steam and have been enjoying it, the combat is fun and quick and the story is cool and interesting i enjoy watching it and the lil details and animation

its just not very good

put a game on sale that isn't playable on 64-bit should be banned no idea why steam allows this garbage on their platform

I had no technical issues in this game. Maybe a few frame drops and the corners of my monitor not completely filled sometimes in cinematics. But nothing regarding crashes on a usual windows 11 pc. If you only want to play the story and dont engage in the combat system, dont play it. I just wanted to finish the story and avoided a lot of combat encounters. That worked for me until I hit a brick wall which was the endboss of chapter 11. Note, even on easy difficulty is not really easy. You still have to play right or you will die quickly late game. To overcome the boss, I spend about 3-4 hours farming experience and leveling up my characters. After I did that once, I managed to beat the rest of the game. For me personally, the game is definitely really hard if you skip a lot of fights and are just in for the story. If you like the combat and kill everything in your path, you can probably overlevel stuff and it will be fine. I thought the combat was trash after starting the game. But near the end of it, I really started to enjoy it and played a bit with the different teams and strategies for the encounters. The start is slow, midgame you get new abilities and it gets fun, endgame you need to have some levels or you will hit a brick wall sometimes. I enjoyed it.

Only posting as not recommended because most folks I know play Final Fantasy more for the game itself rather than the story, and I absolutely cannot stand the gameplay. I'd be writing a book on why I hate the gameplay if I got descriptive and specific, so I'll summarize with, imagine your gameplay revolving around changing all of your individual characters' builds mid-battle, except when you change one, you change all the others, and you have limited combinations. Love the story though, so if you want to set it to easy mode to make the gameplay a non-factor and just enjoy the story, it's great for that. In fact, I'd honestly say Lightning is my favorite Final Fantasy protagonist.

Playing via crossover on MacbookAir M5. Added two Mods to make it playable. Runs beautifully and feels like it came out last gen. only issue is certain cutscenes don't allow the voices to come through, however all the FMV are coming through perfect. definitely took set up but considering the game was only like $6 it was all worth it to finally be able to expirnce this beautiful game.

Played this back in 09, and I'm reminded why I hated this game. 20 hours, without skipping cutscenes, just to get to an open area. No mini games No towns And the side missions don't become available until way later. You're even hard capped on stats until you beat the final boss. Why?! This shouldn't be a Final Fantasy game. It should be Hallway Simulator with some battles here and there. It's a hallway, after hallway, after cutscene after cutscene. I get what they were trying to do...But maybe make it into a movie instead? Unless you're an actual die hard of the series, skip this.
