The Ultimate Final Fantasy Thread: This Guy Are Knock You All Down

Done with Lightning Returns. Couldn't beat the final form of the final boss, so I just watched the ending on Youtube. Found an LP first, where the dude would constantly make really lame jokes, than switched to a longplay, which was nice. I normally don't like to do this, because it will stick in my brain as "I didn't REALLY beat it", but I'm certain that I'll replay this at some point (great game). And after nearly 50 hours, I just want to play something else. And specifically with this game, I can't grind, and retrying means having to beat the first three forms, which is just exhausting.

Anyway, more thoughts later, but this game, and the whole trilogy, are great, great games. Playing dress-up with Lightning was very fun (basically infinite possibilities, and most of the garbs aren't gross fetish stuff), and aiding people to guide them was a great concept. Would have been nice, if the game didn't give you the option to stop time, and force you to choose only a small subset in a way more limited time. Feels like a bit of a wasted opportunity, that you can easily do everything in one cycle. Kinda misses the point, I feel. But still, great, great game.

I gotta get back to my XIII replay but there's this big FF7 Rebirth in the way.

Honestly I might do the skippy thing with Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The weight of "ugh" required to hunt down the arbitrary skills I need to get through one specific door to the rest of the endgame is feeling insurmountable and I mainly want to finish XC2 so I can move on to Torna and XC3.

(Note to game designers: arbitrary gates depending on a selection of character skills the player may or may not have gathered over the course of 50+ hours playing your gacha-driven battle system suck! Don't do that!)

The more I think about it, the more I think the FFXIII trilogy might be the peak of the series for me. Lightning Returns works really well both as the final evolution of FFXIII's combat (at least until FFVII Remake) and to finally give the cast a happy ending after their situation just kept getting worse in every game. It's so good.

OOC, can you start a new game + if you get to the final boss and don't beat it? I think you can if you let time run out before finishing the main quest, but I forget whether there was an option to give up if you were already in the endgame area?
