Final Fantasy XIII Retrospective - A Game Fighting Fate Against Itself

Ok, well, yeah this video is really long. It wasn't always! I just ended up having a lot to say, or rather, a lot I thought needed to be said. Final Fantasy XIII is definitely on the top of a "Top 10 controversial Final Fantasy Games" list, and I think it's time to establish two key things. (ALSO since this video is adjective + long, I'm using the YouTube chapter thing for the first time. Give it a try!) Also is it Final Fantasy XIII? Or Final Fantasy 13? Roman numerals? IDK. FF13, lets go with that The first thing we gotta know is, was FFXIII as bad as everyone says it is? The second, is does Final Fantasy XIII deserve another chance? We've come a long way since it's release on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2009, we have iPhone's now! Did we have them back then? I could Google it but I won't. Maybe you've never heard of Final Fantasy XIII before, well buddy, do I have the video for you (Spoilers: It's this one). Whatever background you have with the Final Fantasy Series, allow this massive video to be your complete guide through The First Final Fantasy XIII game. Why is Final Fantasy VII Remake in the corner down there? Let's just say a shadow was being lived in. You'll see.
