I'm sorry, but where is FFXIII trilogy on game pass?
- Thread starter dharmapolice
- Start date
This is the question that should be asked. We basically remasters if each game except XI and XIV. 13 needs it's time to come back.
If it follows the pattern they've had with other FF on Game Pass, VII will fall off the service in August after having been on there for a year, and be replaced with a new one, which at this point would have to be XIII, unless they're going to cycle XV back in a second time or something.
Ew. No, ffxiii is literally a corridor for like half of the game. It's definitely not worth it. Cringe characters too. Sazh is good though.
Didn't they also say that we will be able to play every FF on PS4 at some point? Never happened.
I can't believe that no-one else in this thread seems to remember that all these games were given a truly deluxe BC upscaling treatment about 12 months ago.
They have the best combat system in the series, although I'm not sure how many people would agree with that assessment. Everything else is even more YMMV, but if they do come to Game Pass and you have access to it, give them a spin. I liked them a lot better than I expected to.
But if you do check it out, be warned: the first game has almost lethal doses of characters shouting nonsense words with no in-game explanation. I had read enough about the game's story to know that it was basically
an SMT game
The "hallway simulator" criticism is my biggest issue with FFXIII and was also my biggest problem with FFX. That said, FFXIII has other issues like its absolute nonsense story, the way that game doesn't introduce any side quests or meaningful exploration at all until 30+ hours in, the horrible level system that's gated by story progress, and that the game is absurdly restrictive with its mechanics for at least a dozen hours (not even being able to customize your active party of characters or pick who you want to play as).
I know the gameplay design and structure is built to accommodate the momentum and pacing of the story very strictly, which I don't really mind provided the story this is all in service to is good enough, but it's not. It's not even close.
Nope, very good (but flawed) game. I appreciated it even more after XV.
I keep meaning to go back and platinum Lightning Returns on PS3, and I know that as soon as I do, they'll announce a XIII-trilogy remaster. I wouldn't mind playing XIII again with some presumed QoL updates. XIII-2 is a banger, so I'd love to go through that a second time. Lightning Returns is a muddy, sluggish mess on PS3, so that at 4K/60 would be a dream.
Not the biggest fan of them, other than XIII-2, but it's bizarre how they've just languished on now two-generation old consoles and some middling PC ports.

this isn't the common consensus from what I've seen over the years.
X is literally a corridor for the entire game, but still regarded as good by most people.
This definitely isn't a normal opinion of the XIII trilogy.
You'd think that in a thread about FFXIII coming to GamePass of all places, people would be aware that FFXIII is already available on XB1/XBS. All these "the games are stuck on old hardware" posts are weird.
we're talking the ps versions though and many are hoping for a collection with additional changes.
As is VII Remake. The reasons why XIII is different is well documented as I'm sure you are aware.
didnt knew they were putting ps versions of games on gamepass
now this is probably illegal
In the UK you can pick up used physical copies of XIII and XIII-2 for £3 each.
Lightning returns is weirdly more expensive at ~£10. Guess maybe fewer physical copies were made.

Disgusting thread you should all be ashamed of your words and deeds, XIII actually had art direction, XV can't say that for itself. Bring the queen back, she must not be forgotten!
Squareenix loves to do late releases
Gamepass is probably seen in the same light as Steam
ahhh, i miss the very simple spinesYou have to have the 4K GOATs at home, that's why.
I'm the only fan of that trilogy. Phil called and asked if they should bring it to Gamepass. I already have the physical copies, so I said "why fucking bother?" Then he cackled and said Serah sucks. He's right. We spent the rest of the time discussing how awesome it is to own a Jeep Wrangler. Weirdest phone call I ever received.
great game, albeit linear. i liked the story and the characters were well done. it was my first ff. I personally enjoyed it more than 15 in terms of characters. as far as combat is concerned, 15 was better for sure (But very different.)
it's not going to change anyones must play rpg lists, but its definitely a good time if you know what your going in for.

FFXIII gameplay is fine. People made fun of just press X to win, and certainly you could do it for most of the fights, but for harder fights you need to be swapping roles and choosing your spells. Story is a big mess, and the party isn't endearing. At most only characters that people seem to like are Sazh and Fang. Soundtrack is awesome.
FFXIII-2 is the best game in the entire trilogy. Only two party members which are way better than the entire XIII cast. It is shorter and the story is more bearable, but it isn't extraordinary. It also involves time travelling. You can also capture monsters to have them help you in combat. Soundtrack is also good, and gave us Crazy Chocobo track.
Lightning Returns gives you Lightning as the only playable character, so if you didn't like her in the original FFXIII, most likely you won't like this game. Gameplay is completely different from the previous games. There is a time limit, something like Majora's Mask, and you can play dress-up Lightning. Personally this is the only one I didn't like of the entire trilogy; couldn't even play it more than two hours. It has the best PC port though.
It's really that bad. It streamlines out NPCs, sidequests, player choice and exploration. It doesn't leave behind much of a game. There's lots of good stuff about it too but it's fundamentally boring. It needs an expanded remaster to fix those problems. It has the potential to be an incredible game, but at the moment it's just shit.
Nope. Absolutely not. They all have noticeable flaws but each of them are still good games. The person calling them "shit" above you is being incredibly hyperbolic.
Some love them, some hate them. They're simply divisive.
Corridor are not the best (as in FFX), it's really too much linear, I say more than FFX.
Characters are really, really bad, maybe the worst team of all FF games... I mean we have some bad characters around FF games, but FFXIII are the least interesting stories and characters in the whole series for me (lighting is the only one that had a little of appeal to me, and Fang has at least one of my favourite design ever... but also i wished her character to be more interesting in the end).
Gameplay is good, the problem is that to be able to use it at its best, you have to wait the last part of the game. Until then its pretty limited and boring.
The story too is nothing particularly interesting, I can't say even 1 part of the story that feels actually engaging.
Yes, is a bad game, not only a bad FF... :(
(sequels I just played FFXIII-2 and didnt liked it, but i dont remember much, just that i didnt liked the two main characters mainly, and the story.)
People should definitely play Lost Odyssey. Great game.
But XIII is not garbage. It's a good game. Everyone should give it a try.
Yeah X is even worse. Not a fan either, but characters in x don't spend all of their time shouting nonsensical expressions and made up words, or in the case of lightning, being angry at everyone.
Hope we don't have to wait too long. Really want to replay 13. I love that battle system. Also never really gave 13-2 a real chance. Just played it for a little while before deciding to drop it. But i'm most looking forward to Lightning Returns because i have never played it.
It's coming, eventually
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.www.trueachievements.com
XII came in Feb of this year, X/X-2 came last month, they're saving the worst for last
That's XII
Corridors aren't that bad. If someone Is fine with them in FFX or FF7R, they'll be fine with them in XIII.
XIII-2 is worth playing. XIII and Lightning Returns absolutely aren't.
FFVII-R is an open world GTA clone compared to XIII.
An rpg made up of corridors is terrible. I like to have fun exploring.
