You tagged spoilers from a game made in 1997. xDHaha, I love you for this xD I'm also more of the childhood friend over Zack's Ex-girlfriend (SPLOILER: because we know the only reason Aeris/Aerith likes Cloud is because he has Zack's memories, hence the conversation back in Midgar when she says that she reminds her of her ex boyfriend Zack who was also in SOLDIER)
Lightning Returns is mechanically one of the best FFs to ever exist it mixes Kingdom Hearts' Hack & Slash vibes and mixes it with classic Final Fantasy and it does work, really well in fact. I'd say it's definitely the best game out of the 3 XIII games plus the Knockout feature is so technically in depth it's ridiculous at what you can do with it.
Another thing that bugs me about LR is that time limit. I hate time limits especially in JRPGs. It's one of the reasons I didn't get more into the Atelier series. Regardless I'll be buying it eventually. I'm not expecting the price drop to take too long because XIII-2 went down $20 in like a month.
I'll try emulating. I really don't like playing things on the computer though, using the keyboard feels awkward and I don't have any controllers or controller adapters for the PC.No, no, no! DO NOT buy those crappy ports on PSN. They do not do the original SNES any justice, as they suffer from actual load times, slowdown issues, butchered audio, and in FF5's case, a god-awful translation. Play them on an SNES emulator (it's free anyway), and if you have a GBA emulator, get that version of FF5.
True.At least in FFX, you can backtrack to all those locations you went to on that linear quest via "microwave airship". In FFXIII, the only place you could roam freely in was Gran Pulse. This is why FFX doesn't get that kind of flak for being linear.
I liked the sidequests in X-2. From pairing up monkeys based on their names so they'd have tons of annoying babies to the gunning mini game in besaid, they were fun. Sphere break was annoying, though.It lacked the abundant action-oriented sidequests of XII.
