I rather they just swept that game under the rug and pretend it never existed.

You guys have given me such badly timed pangs for FFXII

Haha, had a bit of a rough session last night. Figured I'd take a pot shot at the king bomb in Salikawood and Zalera but I failed on both counts. I was getting Zalera reaaaally close to death as well but my party just isn't prepared for his kills yet, will be better when I have haste, and curaga. Oh well. I did managed to kill ring wyrm though and the white mousse.
You need to play the game with voices on for the sheer hilarity of when she gets really shrill.

Just give in and play it, you know you want to.
Repeat this mantra that had me hooked really fast...just one more mark...

It was a Toriyama directed game. And we all know what Toriyama wants he gets. So no way SE or Kitase would sweep it under the rug.
If SE have an sort of common sense, Toriyama's influence should be greatly diminish by now. I didn't even know Revenant Wings was made by him. At least it was bland and boring instead of stupid (or not as stupid as the XIII trilogy).
If you finish FF13 you don't need to play the sequels. The game's ending is open as in "Lightning and company can have other adventures" but no more open than basically any other ending in the series.
FF13-2 had to start its game with a major retcon in order to kick off its plot. How about I put it like that?
FF13-2, however, DOES end on a cliffhanger.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!
Corvo is right but I think you are missing out by skipping the sequels since they are the better games imo.
Haha, no problem. 13-2 is fun if you enjoy stupid dumb things, but if for whatever reason it's inconvenient, you really, really don't need to play 13-2 or LR to feel like 13 itself is finished at the end.

Make sure to do the endgame content or just look up the Analects online after finishing the game. The ending will make 100% more sense if you do that.

Some would say that the sequels made XIII seem better since it ended on a decent note. Sequels just made a bunch of squiggly lines and caused confusion and eventually IMO just becomes a parody of the FF series. But if Sailor Moon shenanigans is your kind of thing I would recommend XIII-2 and LR to you. I would probably put them on the same level.
I will say the XIII-2 GILGAMESH DLC is worth it though.
FFXIII is self-contained.
XIII-2 and LR were almost certainly conceived as a result of Squeenix's cartoonishly troubled FF game development experience in the early seventh gen. They don't appear to have existed on SE's roadmap until after that roadmap changed suddenly midway through the gen, after FFXIII had some obvious development troubles and FFXIV 1.0 catastrophically trainwrecked.
SE seemingly got terrified of high-budget new development for a while, pushing FFXV back while FFXIV was rebuilt, and in the meantime they had a team under Toriyama hold down the fort with some low-budget unplanned FFXIII sequels.
(Not that XIII-2 and LR are bad, they're actually kind of awesome in their own right. You don't get that breed of AA development much anymore. They're just crazy tacky.)

XIII-2 is still a pretty fun game at least and it has Noel.

Drew Barrymore watched me play FFVIII co-op with a buddy once. She was buck naked too. It was awesome.
Was this during that rare, two-day period in which all of America was collectively drunk enough to find Drew Barrymore attractive?

Shame she didn't play a better Final Fantasy.
Kidding.
I honestly don't know who that is, but it is indeed cool to hear someone talk about Final Fantasy on a show like that.
Don't lie. You weren't the kid in that scene.
I know you looked up who she is but yeah she was also just picked as most beautiful person for people's choice.
That was just awesome!
I've never gotten further than the end of disc 2 in FF9 because the first copy I bought as a kid the second disc didn't work, I sold it and bought another copy later on and the third disc didn't work. Part way through the third disc and the game really picks up, I already loved it, but this disc is amazing. Best FF of the PSX era indeed.
Don't lie. You weren't the kid in that scene.

She's definitely very attractive. You will hear no argument from me there.
Back on topic, though.
WHY DON'T I HAVE CURTAIN CALL YET?
I need that game already.
Also: anybody know if PSPs and PSVs can interact? My brother bought TWotL for his Vita and I wanna see if we can do the multiplayer stuff.

It really was. I was pretty happy when I heard about it.
Is it out in Japan? I was pretty hyped for it(waiting for English release) but haven't been following any news about it lately.
I'm such a stan for her now.

I've spent about 5 hours in Gran Pulse doing sidequest lol, I'm afraid doing the final dungeon and failing miserably at the Final Boss
60 PCs
200+ songs
Spin off characters included
Type-0 tracks
The single downspot is that Somnus got removed and I spent money on it.

I did half of them(around 28-30) and I cheesed the final boss pretty easily.
Don't forget to read the rest of the analects after finishing the game, google them.

If you find yourself overwhelmed, there's a spot near the end where you can return to Pulse to level grind.
Sweet thanks.
I believe I also bought Somnus so that does indeed suck it's been removed.

Selphie is one of the best characters in VIII. She's hilarious
The only FF8 character I really dislike is Irvine.

Agreed, he seemed cool and then you discovered what a weakling and how much of a front he puts up and his cool factor tanked. At times I wondered what his character was for, he didn't seem to have much of a role.
His biggest crime is looking like a cowboy but not being one in any other way. Do you know how badass he would've been if he'd been a fucking Cowboy?

I doubt Japan understands what a real cowboy is like. I wouldn't trust them one bit!
