Worth My While?

[bart_brock]

I have just got lightning returns and i'm loving it so far. I have never played a final fantasy game in my life and bought lightning returns on a whim. I am planning on getting the platinum but i'm wondering whether I should buy final fantasy xiii and xiii-2 seeing as they are before it, and  that would help me understand lighting more. Anyway I don't like the looks of the battle systems and those platinums look real hard!

I appreciate the text boldness and size, it will definitely help the older members on the forum.

xiii is good, yes it's worth your time. and the plat isn't hard, but it is long

I certainly do believe getting and finishing the first 2 games will help you better understand the story, but if you're worried about trophies then the first game won't be kind to you. The second game is easier though. The combat system for 13 and 13-2 is worse than Lightning Returns in my opinion but I enjoyed them both so much that I didn't care. If for nothing else I think you should get the other 2 games for the story.

I know this is an unpopular thing to say but I liked 13

 

 

Shut your faces

Both FFXIII and FFXIII-2 were good, in my opinion.  To understand the story better, I would say you would need to play both of them.

Final Fantasy XIII is the best final fantasy game after X( the best ever and will always be) in my opinion

As long as the trilogy goes

Lightning Returns was the best followed by Final fantasy XIII and XIII-2 was the weakest, but still a great game.

I liked both of them. The platinums aren't hard, but you're looking at 100+ gameplay hours each.

They are both good games, I enjoyed FFXIII-2 the most and as play time goes it took me around 90h to plat XIII and 60h XIII-2, they're not hard just need a little time

Yeah, it is worth your time. I both have FF XIII and XIII-2. But I haven't finished XIII-2 yet. So as for me, I'm going to finish XIII-2 first before playing Lightning Returns.

It's a great game. The plats are not hard, they just take a lot of time to get. Get it if you can.

[UndeadMisfit]

Yep, most definitely worth it. I too enjoy the first two games and would also enjoy Lightning Returns as well. I love the character and the only thing that killed 13-2 for me was not being able to play as Lightning.

I'm not really a trophy hunter, but I did plat those two games, so that's saying something!..I think.

The trophies aren't hard to get, but it's time consuming and a bit annoying, but not hard.

Well I wouldn't call it a Final Fantasy, if you want to try a real FF try any from I to IX, X is tecnically a FF since Sakaguchi and Uematsu were there, but even so it started the begining of the end, it became so lineal, the characters and story are great, is a thousand times better than any FF after it, but not before it.

FF13 is a revolution FF game come on kids

[PSNP is crap i left]

I really enjoyed FF XIII-2. FF XIII is pretty good but i didn't like it as much as XIII-2.

[Transi3tor]

Both are good just a bit of a grind.

I think FF XIII-2 is easier to plat then FF XIII as first one takes some time with the grinding.
