Does FFXIII shed light on FFXIV?

Re: Does FFXIII shed light on FFXIV?

Question though? How much have you played of FFXIII and do you have an open mind outlook on it? I guess when I play a game I just try to enjoy it and I don't have any fixed opinions about it... Relax and have fun its a game... It is supposed to be enjoyed... They story line and everything else so far is pretty good!

I logged about 20 hours into the game, and yes I went in with an open mind, like I said before I like all the FF games. about 10 hours in I really started to dislike the battle system. Its to automated, and I dont feel like I am really doing much in battle. SE really needs to stop with the "control one person" BS and also with their liner path BS (hated that in FFX as well)

I will play the game, because I do like the story, but I don't think I will play it again after that, and I wont buy it till it gets really cheap, I want to at least add it to my collection.

Okay I agree with the battle system it is a little to easy unlimited MP and only being able to control one character I got that... I noticed that right away too! Like you the story line is important to me and enjoying that aspect with the awesome graphics as well...

While FFXIV won't be and cannot be an exact replica of FFXIII just by the nature of the two games, I think there will be some parallels for sure. You can say there are two teams working on the games but that doesn't mean they NEVER talk to each other, hell SE talks to SOE (insert mass panic, lol).

There were parallels between FFXI and 12 it's not too far fetched to see similarities between 13 and 14. From just looking at the 14 UI the skills are sectioned with their timers so to speak like in 13, you may not be able to put all your skills in a chain instead you'd fire each skill as needed. Unless you have them macro'd. That's the one similarity I've picked on but I'm not too observant when it comes to combat, if I can kill stuff I'm happy.

I really don't think 14 will play exactly like 13, just because they are completely different types of games, but they are both more 'action' oriented then past games and the combat is faster paced. I do not mean to say they are action games either!! A few elements will transcend to 14 but not in a way that copies what 13 is.

I agree with you no two games are the same but that is why I said (shed light) to me it gives just a small glimpse of somethings that FFXIV will have but yes online game is way different! Thanks for your input!
