Do you think Square Enix will remake the worst mainline Final Fantasy?

Also 13's story made zero sense at all and was confusing ASF. :scust:
It wasn't confusing it just required the reading of datalogs in the menu. The game doesn't stand alone as a game you can just play and get the full picture.

Game still has one of my favorite scenes from a recent Final Fantasy in it

That's called bad game design, just like what Fromsoftware does in some of their games.

If you gotta read datalogs and a whole separate encyclopedia to understand the story and terms they’re using it’s not a good story

That stuff should be optional to provide additional context to the story not required to enjoy the game. Lore hidden in items and menu should be complimentary.

It’s different with fromsoft games because they don’t rely on its narrative to be enjoyed

It was meant to be more than just that single game. There was plans to have a sub series of games based on Etro and the crystals. Obviously that failed and they just made 3 XIII games.

My first playthrough I read none of that and it was still alright. It's a flawed game but I'm not as negative on it as some. I won't deny it's one of the worst in the series but I see it like I see the album Nastradamus worst of the bunch but still enjoyable to me.
