Actually, the latter half of X-2 is good storytelling. Particularly Paine's backstory.
Outside of a few cheesy moments, yeah I would argue it did.
Nonsense.
Ultiemica at least had a legit reason for wanting the rest of the world dead. Shuyin, you could sympathize with. Kuja was amazing outside of the ending, and then you have Vayne who was easily far better then Sephiroth.
Outsdie of XIII's Villians, FF has had better villians then the hero side in recent times.
I'll give you Ultimecia and Seymour (and maybe Kuja), but Caius is definitely not better in character design than Vayne. And while Dysley is a less than fabulous villain writing-wise, his design is also ahead of Caius's.
Neither does character design indicate much of anything in decent villains. Jihl was magnificent to look at, but an even more laughable 'villain' than Leblanc.

that's kinda what i am saying don't you think ? Those characters are at least in it for the story ..( at some point )
Maybe we'll be able to have a difinitive answer and opinion once we get the game ?

I can agree with that, and I hate FFXII.
My point was that I lost expectations for a good story from Final Fantasy long before XIII.

I was making it obvious that your question had been answered.

Dont you also hate VII outside of Midgar?ZephyrFate said:
Sephiroths claim to fame was that hes threatening, which makes him a good villain, but not really much is going on in the way of actual character development.Yoshichan said:
His entire character is that he decides to be this evil monster because his mom is an evil monster. There were things with potential; like Lucretia being his actual mom, Hojo being his dad, being nothing but an experiment, and the fact that he used to be the worlds most beloved hero. But those things and their implications are never explored(and Sephiroth doesnt even seem to have any fucks to give in any case). So, while theyre mentioned, they never really go anywhere outside of whatatwist.
While I feel Vayne doesnt get explored enough either, his issues are at least there outside of initially being brought up for a quick shock.
Also, he makes a much better foil for Ashe than Sephiroth does for Cloud.

Yes. Midgar was the best part about VII and then they stopped realizing how awesome it was.

i dunno what's your point but that sure wasn't a question.
Now answer if you feel like it.

I dont get your attitude, but anyway...
You said "I dunno about vanille" [if she is in the game] ...I made it clear that she is by pointing out that, like Fang and Sazh, she also made an appearance in the final trailer of XIII-2.
Sogood.

why would she want a PS3 with a picture of herself on it? I've never found her to be terribly conceited or anything.
Yeah i've got no problem with this style of music, but thats as long as its not used in an FF game the style of say...IV, IX, or XII.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Yea, FFVII's best locations were basically Midgar and Gold Saucer.
15sec TVCM aired today in Japan, some new scenes, might be spoiler :<

Agreed. I really loved Midgar and how it was built up. I wish we could have explored more of it. Ah well.
Perfo.
Perfo EVERYWHERE.
(I honestly keep thinking that the Moogle's name is "Perfo" even though I know better. >.>)

You're a stronger man than I am. I've already preordered it. ;-;
You know you want it. Might be the best thing about the game!

If you're getting the NA LE, I'd advise helping your wallet out and just waiting it out.
I cancelled my LE OST preorder in favour of getting the Sonic Generations OST. >.>
Despite me absolutely loving a good soundtrack, there is never any part of me that wants to say the best thing about a video game was its music.
Well, Dengeki Playstation gave it their highest score, an S...

Play-Asia has 2 versions of the Asian release of XIII-2 (English Version and Chinese Version). Does the English version of the Asian release have Japanese Voice and English subtitles or is it full English?

That's the "undub" version of the game

Why is that? Nier's an example of a game that isn't really that great of a game in its gameplay department but has a God-tier soundtrack that is the best part of the game.
If gameplay isn't the best part of the game, it fails.

Except Nier didn't fail, so... that's not true.

glad to hear all the Origa love on the ost, sad hamauzu is taking a back seat though
Haven't played it, but if the music is better than the gameplay, I'll just listen to the OST and skip the shitty gameplay.
