Final Fantasy 13 is a role-play video game that Square Enix created and issued. In Japan it appeared in December 2009, while in other lands it reached the stores in March 2010. That marked the first mainstream Final Fantasy game for the era of PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Version for computers came soon later in 2014, for Windows.
About Final Fantasy 13
In this wild RPG a group of worthy folks fights against his goal. The plot unfolds in the beautiful flying city Cocoon and the ancient world Pulse. The players take a long journey through the main world of Cocoon and the outer region of Pulse, where they meet and struggle together with helpers during the whole path.
Mainstream pattern is the graceful woman called Lightning, or Claire Farron. Her dynamic fights and great experiences advance the mainstream story.
Final Fantasy 13 likes to improve on the tenth part. Those two games lead the players along a strict and set way. This makes the history and personalities very direct.
All patterns stay active in the story because of need, rather to some older Final Fantasies, where some memebr could feed in the team and later simply disappear in the background.
After many years of wonderful preview clips and slow announcements, the game blasted with a bit of excitement and mixed feelings. In 2010 it did not too succeed. However the artistic style and the sounds keep it kindly.
The system of struggle keeps secret layers, and states of danger genuinely risk. It looks surprising, even today. Although textures and cutscenes sometimes seem unclear on sum platforms, Final Fantasy 13 always shows as a nice masterpiece, where almost every fight and motion flows well, except some rare frame pauses.
This game altered several parts of the usual Final Fantasy recipe. It ranks between the most favourite creations of Square Enix, beating weights as Kingdom Hearts, Nier: Automata and Final Fantasy IX. Culturally it however did not reach their height.
The themes and the story are more mature than in prior bits, a fact that shows more with the time.
The trilogy of the third tenth extended at least past the first title. Final Fantasy 13-2 improved in many spots over its predecessor. Lightning Returns form the last part, with a reborn world together with free activity of personalities and fights based on action.
That ends the dramatic arch of Lightning. The whole series originally was planned as part of something called Fabula New Crystallis, designed to launch a separate branch instead ofleaving it grow in a natural mode.
