It's coming, eventually

XII came in Feb of this year, X/X-2 came last month, they're saving the worst for last
Microsoft confirms missing Final Fantasy Xbox Game Pass titles are still coming
Microsoft has confirmed that the missing Final Fantasy games announced for Xbox Game Pass back at X019 are still coming to the service, albeit a little later than planned.

I suspect they wanna spruce it up a bit before launching it. Which makes me think an HD remaster is coming around the board. Day one on GP of course.
This too.
I mean, you could just buy the discs and pop them in your Xbox One or Xbox Series X consoles. They're very cheap.
They did at the very least spruce up the cutscenes so that they're now in 4K on Xbox One X and Xbox Series X, FWIW.
Definitely not! Both XIII and XIII-2 are very good and worth playing through. I hope it hits soon.
This, although XIII-2 is an alright game, Lightning Returns has great combat and shit everything else.
Final Fantasy games on gamepass seem to operate on "you get one, you lose one" so when it happens, will probably be around when FFX leaves.
2021 Square Enix:
Delicious posts lol
Oh, you like playing handheld?
Square Enix is proud to announce Final Fantasy XIII, available on iOS and Android!
I'm guessing they're taking time to port Win 10 versions for simultaneous release on PC game pass
Every time I see these threads, I whet my hunger for a FF XIII Trilogy remaster on PS4/5. I have not been able to play the series since I moved onto the PS4 and it's getting very annoying. Heck, if XIII can get the Zodaic Age treatment and fix some gameplay issues, it could be very special and bring in new fans.
They know that those great games are not to be confused with Game Pass rabble. You must wait for the honor to play the eventual remasters.
Are the FF13 games REALLY that bad? I never played them
The biggest complaint I hear is that it's like a long linear corridor/hallway. But tbh so was FFX and I enjoyed that game
If it's so bad, what exactly is bad about it?

you're not getting a straight answer here
its best to play it and form your own opinion if you get the chance
I liked XIII enough, never played XIII-2. Lighting Returns has one of my favorite FF battle systems and I loved exploring the areas, but by god is the story one of the worst I've ever experienced.
Coming into this thread as someone that loved Final Fantasy XIII:
I'd gladly pay for a remaster lol
You're not alone. Bunch of trash takes in this thread.
If you could handle the FFX corridors and the FF7R corridors, you'll be fine with FFXIII. The sequels get rid of this issue though and open up exploration a lot.
I will admit that the story gets more nonsensical with each sequel. I still enjoyed it overall, but it gets crazy wild at the end of Lightning Returns lol
yeah even though I don't like the base XIII, I really enjoyed XIII-2. LR had very fun combat but I disliked everything else.
I've said before but it likely is taking awhile because they're going to touch up the PC ports to add achievements and such.
Since it was the only game in the whole list that was a little finicky (as there's no current-gen port).
Thankfully this deal might end up with us having the best version of the game barring Xbox PC usage. But that's a small price to pay after how wonky the ports are even with fixes on steam.

I would at least like them to go on sale so I can buy them if they aren't going to do a remaster.
FF13's story is poor & a lot of takes place outside the game itself in encyclopedia entries. It also feels like it has little to no relationship to what you're actually doing - like it feels like you're just doing random dungeons and then having story unlock at the end. The combat is interesting but only shines when you have 3 characters in your party & for the first half of the game, it tends to stick you in 2 person parties. The gameplay progression is stiff as well - it has a sphere grid like system a la FFX, but you have to reach certain points of the game to increase your LV cap so if you don't avoid battles, you frequently reach the cap and can't get stronger. Oh and you don't even unlock the ability to LV-Up for 2-3 hours. Weapon system is weird - you only have a small amount of weapons and you feed them materials to make them stronger so the correct strategy is to just pick one weapon and only use it, but you have to make the decision before you know if you'll get another weapon that has a better stat distribution.
Basically, F13 has an interesting battle system but the pacing is weird & it has some weird design decisions and the story is disjointed. Soundtrack rocks though.
FF13-2 feels like it has a much lower budget. It's time travel focused which is fun & the pacing is stronger. On the downside, the difficulty level is noticeably lower than FF13 so you have this great battle system but nothing really to take advantage of it.
FF13: Lightning Returns feels like a completely different game. I've only played the demo but it looked like the story was more insane than everything in the first two games combined. Only one character in your party & the combat system is more action-oriented while not going full-on Action/RPG.
I'd probably buy a FF13 Trilogy Remastered Collection, especially if they tried to fix some of the flaws of the original games, like adding a Hard mode to FF13-2.
Square Enix: Who?
I hope someday they release a remastered trilogy, ffxiii is an amazing mess, ffxiii-2 has a lot of amazing content and never player lightning returns.

as someone who loves the 13 story and its games, 13-2 was easily the weakest one of the 3. Whattttt
FF13: Switch leader option in battle, restoration of the Seventh Arc content, and something to do at save points to break up the action (visual novels of the extra materials released in Japan, Nautilus area of mini-games, virtual Bodham where you can interact with the fleeing Nora and discuss plot points, etc)
FF13-2: Hard mode and better spreading out of abilities in the Crystariums for each role (IIRC you learn everything way too fast and get stuck with just stat boosts for the rest of the tress).
LR: Graphic upgrades.
Well i mean FFXV was on there and it's far worse.
PC ports for XIII/2 ports are still in a far worse state then NieR:Automata was at release so i assume they have to make new ports from scratch like they did with NieR, Xbox versions could use some work as well for Series X.
