I loved just about every aspect of XIII, except trying to grind money for ultimate weapons at the end. Eventually gave up trying to get them.
The N7 costumes and the Ezio outfit are delisted. That said if you downloaded them before you'll have access to them still when it goes live tomorrow.
Gonna wait for some performance impressions, but I've been wanting to play through XIII again for a while, so this was a nice announcement on Saturday. The game isn't very good, but I think I've made my peace with it over the years. The music is excellent (and I always thought so) and in the very late game the battle system can even be pretty thrilling. The final boss is great. I guess I appreciate it as a sort of JRPG junk food now.
This video essay on the game is a fun watch, if anyone's interested. This guy also disliked the game when he first played it, but he revisited it and made an effort to find things to appreciate.

Sucks that the Ezio outfit isn't available anymore, I always had that outfit equipped for Noel and then the white mage outfit for Serah.
Never really played any of these but i enjoyed the FF13 demo back in the day. So im getting this one for sure :)
XIII should be a fun game to check before and after with the X patch. I don't remember what the resolution was on Xbox 360 back in the day, but it was very grainy, and looked horrible compared to PS3.
XIII-2: Chrono Trigger Hard Mode Edition
Lightning Returns: Majora May Cry
Agreed. Played my PS3 copy again sometime last year and I was still impressed with the visual fidelity.
Also, the soundtrack is beautiful and battle theme was classic.
I stopped after Chapter 3 when it came out. Tried to get back into it but the characters weren't doing it for me yet.
Just bought FF13 for 360 at GS for $5. Excited to start over and try to get into it again.
I still remember Kagari's infamous quote about her playing the game.
It's definitely a game that I forced myself to get through. And then it got a bit better. By that point, however, I was already done with it.

The first 2 games probably won't arrive today but Lightning Returns could. At least something to make a few nice super sampled 1080p screenshots with.
Can anybody link me to a good guide for the combat and upgrade tree? Which characters are best for each role role? Etc. Just looking for some tips before I start later on today!
I think I might jump back in. I only Finished XIII. Liked it very much although I get the criticism the game got, it just wasn't a big issue for me. I played the second one for many hours but ended up using some items (I do not remember their name) just to realize that they were later needed to make progress in the story. It was possible to obtain another batch of them, but the areas I had to go through were very tiring, so I ended up abandoning the game.
Xbox Era is holding a W for this. PS4 owners like me are holding a L. I wish this came to PS4 lol
Yeah i think 13 is mediocre, but 13-2 & LR are much much better, more people need to try out the sequels.
Im still salty 13 got sequels & Versus 13 was put on the back burner because of it, but said sequels are quite good.
I have a soft spot for all three of these, but especially for Lightning Returns. I consider LR the single most underappreciated game in the core FF series, the gameplay is absolutely stunning and there are so many interesting design decisions that produce a heavily systems-driven, mechanically unique experience. When I get a chance tomorrow, I may write-up some tips for getting the most out of LR, because it can all seem very overwhelming at first. It also has the benefit of getting better and better as it goes on, culminating in my favorite boss fight in the entire series, hell I might even say that for me it's a top 5 boss fight in the entire genre.
While this wonderful BC announcement is an opportunity for people to (re)experience this entire trilogy and perhaps come to love it in its own way, what I'm really hoping is that LR comes out of this with a much-improved reputation. It simply was not given a proper chance upon release and I have been waiting years for it to start the process of being vindicated by history.

LukarWuff can you add this weapon upgrade guide to the OP for Final Fantasy XIII? I used it for my second playthrough and it saved me a ton of time and frustration for the platinum.

Added a Useful Guides section to the OP with some stuff that ArkhamFantasy and DarkCloud12X recommended. It's barebones right now, so if anyone has any recommendations for it, please share. I'll add more guides when I have spare time today.
It's always fun seeing people come around on the previous single player Final Fantasy once a newer one comes out.
I always found curious that I have rarely seen anyone saying "yeah the whole trilogy is amazing" the common sentiment seems to be that you like one game, kinda indifferent for one the others, and totally hate the last.
I was having a good time with XIII-2 but I have the bad memory that it burned out my PS3, so I could never finish it. Also, never touched lightning returns

Just chiming in as part of the 13 Defense Force. I think LR is a bit of a mess, but I love 13 and 13-2 is a lot of fun. 13 is nice and challenging, unlike XV.
All I can remember was that the 360 versions; FFXIII was a blurry mess compared to PS3, LR had bad frame rate issues during desert battle stages and XIII-2 was a good all rounder.
I hadn't thought about this, but now that you said it, I'll have to do just this. Even better, since my One X and 360 are so close in proximity, lol.
Playing FFXIII-2 on pc right now, 4k is out of question (even with 30 fps lock and measly 50-60% GPU load) on GTX970/i5-3570, so i stick with 1620p DSR right now (not without dips and stuttering). I know that pc port was pretty shitty, but still will be interesting how it turns out compared to xbox x patch.

this is really cool for xbox owners, but also slightly bums me out because i feel like it'd lower the chance for PS4/XBO remasters, which i've been hoping for for awhile
but if enough people play this on backwards compatibility, i guess that indicates a current-gen demand for these games, so i guess it's still not hopeless
anyway, it's a really cool move for xbox owners
