word on the street is FFXIII sucks

[Vipershark]

FF hasn't been very linear since 12. That game was when the series really lost the quality it had for me. It was like;

NES- Not bad, getting its bearings
SNES- Perfected the genre
PS1- Tweaked perfection, not as good, but still great
PS2- Quality declines sharply after 10
PS3- crap?

id say snes and ps1 are on tier with one another. 4 to 9 were amazing imo. 1 to 3 need major remakes. especially 2.

10 to 13 all looked kinda meh.

1-3 need major remakes/overhauls, especially 2
not just the current graphical facelifts (technically FF3DS was a major overhaul, but it still has an "old" feeling)

4 is decent, at least in the SNES and PS1 versions, but I'm pretty sure the DS remake is amazing. I need to play it.

5 is pretty good, but needs a major 3D upgrade like FF4DS (except maybe not in the chibi-esque style)

6 is amazing and would be even better with 3D graphics and everything else (except maybe a new translation) untouched

7 is amazing, but needs new graphics and a new translation. I'm not an FF7 fanboy, but I do think it's one of the best in the series.

8 is amazing, needs graphics update only.

9 is amazing, needs graphics update only.

10 sucks and I hate it.

haven't played 11

12 is mega crap and a disgrace to the series and shouldn't exist.
