But FF13 was ok at best....the game was WAY to drawn out and slow for a modern video game.
FF14 Online is being dubbed the "worst MMO ever made", and rightfully so I can say as I beta tested it.
I'm not surprised. I didn't even bother beating FF13. Meredith beat it and enjoyed it, but it was wayyyy too linear for my tastes. FF12 really hit the spot, but I didn't like the direction FF13 took at all. Rumors state that FF13 ended up getting rushed out the door because the engine took forever and a day to complete, hence the linear pathing and lack of "extra" areas (e.g. towns, shops, etc).
Supposedly, part of the driving force behind FF13-2 is to utilize a lot of the art and content that got cut from FF13. I have no idea how true that is, but my general disdain for FF13 and the incredible suckage of the only mainline sequel to day (FF10-2) makes me think that FF13-2 is going to blow. Then again, I've been wrong before.
I've also heard a lot of really negative comments on FF14. Personally, I could never get into FF11, so that doesn't surprise me, but that game is really getting slammed by even hardcore MMO fans. No loss here.
