Lol sorry. Tbf, I started the game on Normal and really struggled with the battle system at first. Initially, I was actually trying to follow the stagger requirements and the game seemed bizarrely difficult even against regular ass enemies... until the battle system finally clicked for me like 40 hours in. 😅
It's a fun game, last area is a bit of a pain in the arse though.
I feel like I've done quite a bit of bonus stuff, so I was surprised to find enemies in there were killing me, yeah. Espeically because I don't remember having trouble with the game except maybe a couple bosses but even then it wasn't bad. I just got the DLC so maybe I should do that first? Idk
The whole trilogy is gorgeous. I dare say it's the best looking world/art style in the series, with maybe X as it's competition. They're just beautiful.
Yes the graphics were for sure great for their yime but I think it's the art style that really shines too. Like the games look better than XV and many areas in VIIR to me purely because of that despite being on less powerful hardware
OK SAME. Tried playing XIII-2 yesterday and it crashed 15 mins in. :( Granted I'm playing it in Win10 bootcamp on a macbook pro but i've completed the game once before the same way!
Tried on an Amd cpu/1080TI combo years back (2017/8 I'm thinking). NOw I have a Threadripper 3960 and 2080 TI and same shit happened. I seriously thought when I built the pc last year that it'd finally work. Nope.
take back what you just said about lightning returns. it's one of the best games in the series
I don't remember XIII-1's map, but XIII-2's is readable. I wish it was one button press instead of having to go to the main menu and scroll down though
XIII's map had no cardinal directions, no words on it (no landmarks or anything), and rotated depending on where you were facing... it was essentially useless.
Right? They have more chemistry combined than either of their canon pairings
if you're talking about the fragments as macguffins then yeah. the fragments are such good collectibles because they're a great set goal you can have, which is different from most RPGs where it's random sidequests everywhere and there's nothing pushing me to completion. The fact that there's a list of how many fragments (which honestly are basically the sidequests of this game) that you can get for each area kind of adds the checklist element of collectathons that I love so much. It feels easy to keep track of instead of random sidequests strewn about if that makes sense. And each one has its own lore you can read which is a nice touch.
Oh then yeah I can confirm XIII-2's map is better. It's static at least and has icons on it that Mark quests, shops, npcs, blockades. Edit: I still don't think it has words on it.
