Props to MS for removing crap like region locking from BC games. MS is darn serious when it comes to backward compatibility.
The Arabian it's cause that's their only redeeming factor tbh
@@Brown614 it's a great feature that is also good for marketing
@@Brown614 they also have the best hardware and features by far and the best mp and coop games.
The sad thing about ms..no games
Might as well get a pc instead.
First FFXIII graphics was way ahead of its time. Art to this day is still so unique, so detailed, and so fantasy. Loved the launch trailer too.
This game looks really clean on the X, props to the xbox dev team, guess I'm gotta play the trilogy again :)
Honestly, the game still looks great after all these years!
It does not play well anymore, as i went back only 3 days ago. FF XIII-2 is still solid though.
well yea ff devs are good at making the artsyle and all hold up, too bad the automatic combat is ass
and so is story and english voices
@@melxb Let's be honest its not so different from the regular turn base they just let you chain the attacks instead of repeatedly going back into the menus
@@DragonoftheDarknessFlame i am being honest and sorry u saying that doesnt make it feel like that
Hey everyone - this is indeed a 4K video, but RUclips's background encoders are still working on the top-end versions of the video. Watch now at 1080p60 and/or check back later for the full-fat version!
@Klumsy Kameleon and if you flushes, you flushed
For some reason only 240p for me haha
MCC X Enhanced analysis please!
Or you could make the video private until the 4K is done processing.
@@NativeWarrior081 Why would they want to do that ?
Not everyone has a connection that is practical to watch video in 4K and with RUclips's iffy compression i'm not even sure you gain much for that unless you are watching it on 60"+ TV
I'm watching it on a 24" Monitor and so 1080p is perfectly fine - though to be honest other than a more consistent frame rate I couldn't see a huge different between the version until I bumped it up from 720p to 1080p and even then it was only on bumpy armour and hair. (maybe shadows).
I guess I'm just not as pick as some people.
But it's good advice to suggest the Ps3 versions for better FMV.

When it was announced FFXIII was going to be on BC, I pulled out my disc from storage to check the difference. Only thinking I'd pop it in for a few minutes to check the graphical difference. Here I am now playing it ever since. I put down RDR2 to play FFXIII... and man does it look good. Never finished it when I first got the game but I think I'll probably finish the trilogy now.
I did the exact same thing. I put down AC Odyssey and RDR2 for FF13. Never saw that coming. I put in 16 hours over the weekend (lol). It looks amazing now on the X.
@@celebrationofthelizard6185 I'm up to about 16 hours too! it is really refreshing to go back to a more linear type game after having played open world games for years.
@@DarqStalker I completely agree. I think that's why I got drawn back into so much. It's interesting how it was criticized at the time for being so linear, but now in 2018 I feel that it is one of its strongest points.
Not only the massive Resolution improvement...but most importantly framerates..all three games are now closed to locked 30fps now while the PS3 version is 17-20fps on some of the same scenes.
Yeah, I played them like year ago on pc and couldn't understand why everyone was trashing them.
Ok, I can understand trashing on 13-2, it had not very good timetravelling story and obnoxious "too japanese" design. Played it for 10 hours and then went on youtube.
But 13 and lightning returns are one of my favorites now
I was one of the few people who actually loved the game from day 1, still love it, and somehow, still looks amazing
I'm with you
no you are not one of the few
It's one of my favourite games ever
I re-bought all of these. Popped in FFXIII and I am lost into the world again! This game gets a lot of crap that it doesn't deserve and looks absolutely incredible on the Xbox One X. Thank you Square-Enix and Xbox!!
Now i can admire the image of Lightning riding Odin in 4K. Nice👌
its not quite 4k, but its almost there
@@BennyGoId its 1728p, not 728p.
....huh?
Microsoft has been showing so much respect to their fans
Because they screwed them over with the "tv, tv teevee"
Microsoft has new ip's 🤔
It's a massive about face from the start of this gen with their game drm, online always limitations etc when they were being lead by that imbecile Don Mattrick. Things will only get better from here. Exclusives are the only thing the ps4 has over the Xbox One, but when that barrier is broken and Microsoft produce new exclusives from their new set of studios, it will force Sony to improve every other aspect of its platform in order to remain competitive. Good for the whole industry.
Yeah, limited AAA exclusives, "TV Gate", "DRM Gate", focus on old games instead of new, awful UI, "uncompromised 4K" console..really for the players.. lol
@@MorrisseyMuse I mean at least it can do native 4k, Unlike the piece of shit Pro that touts 4k but can barely checkerboard upscale to 1440p 😁
AWESOME! This is truly a great update. I missed out on these games the first time but I will fix that now for my Xbox One X. I was going to try to track down the physical copies of these games but right now Xbox is having a huge Black Friday Sale in their online store and all 3 FF 13 games are going for $7.99 each. Well worth it! Again one of the MANY reasons I am so glad I have an Xbox One X!
I picked them up at my local game store for $4 each. :-)
They're $9.99 for me!
Actually, that's only XIII. XIII-2 & Lightning Returns are $9.99, not counting the DLC.
@Aaron Ramirez Did you watch the video above?
Thanks, Microsoft team. I never got to play this old games so enhanced backwards compatibility is a feature I treasure a lot. Keep up the good work.
I dusted off my ps3 and played this and realized I was hooked all over again. A very underappreciated game, especially after the dryness of XV. I can imagine how much better the one x version is...may have to buy one now.
All this for free if you already have the game. And still there's people who thinks back compat is just a thing to bring old games to the Xone. smh
We really out here getting free remasters
@Dr. Loomis Yeah, me too. I only played exclusives like halo and gears of war on my xbox one x, but the third party games' best performance and backcompat is where the X truly shines. I think X is overall a very good 2nd console to have.
Because of things like this, the Xbox One X is really the best value for money and best place to play an amazing selection of games.
Playing Dante’s inferno on the Xbox one x I never had the chance to play this game is amazing and is free in games with gold lol
@ivo I'm confused with the back compat is it simple as inserting the xbox 360 disc in the xbox one console or u redownload the data if you bought it on the xbox 360?
FFXIII is one of my favorite games and I’m so glad to see it getting plenty of positive attention finally!
Sony = Buy this $60 remaster
Xbox = enjoy backwards compatibility with free remasters
So stick with the 360
@@johnbishop2536 or have both on Xbox One
Plus its 7.99 digital at the moment
What a dumb comment. This isn’t a remaster and Sony isn’t selling FF13 in any form for $60. You casuals need to learn the difference between BC and remastering.
@@gened8878 What enchantments? high res for a game with low textures and still maintains frame rate issues from the 360. Yet I'm the clown :)
The xbox 360/ps3 gen is in my opinion the best gen we had since the snes gen. So glad xbox one is preserving the generation for the future in such incredible way.
True
PS4 WiiU Switch 3DS Xone Vita is the worst era
As a man of the 16 bit era, I completely agree with you mate. And it's one of the reasons why my X is now my personal fave console of this gen (I own everything, LOL). I've decided that I'm going to go for a full physical PAL Xbox 360 game collection... I'm half way there :D
It's the best generation ever, for me. So many new IP that spawned franchises. Assassin's Creed, Dishonored, Borderlands, Mass Effect, COD Modern Warfare and Black Ops sub series, Red Dead Redemption, Injustice. Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat returned to form, sports games had a Renaissance, rise of digital distribution brought back a lot of the best games from Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, etc.
@@FerrariKangaroo Quite ambitions. Hope you get there. If back compat transitions seamlessly into the next Xbox, I may try this too.
Hoping to get an X1 in the black friday sales this week.
Hope you get a good deal. You're going love it mate!
You can get one for 100 off on amazon right now.
If you're an existing Xbox one owner it might be underwhelming at first because the ui is all the same but everything content wise is so much better in 4k (for games if they're enhanced)
I got mine at at Shopko last March... They had 20% off all electronics, and I had a store wide 25% off coupon, and traded my original X1 at Gamestop at the same time when they had a $150 cash trade in going on... So I got my X1X for $150... It was a perfect storm for me...
Same lol
The most beautiful game from last gen.
Played and finished all 3 on PS3. Play them people they are truly hidden gems. Can’t wait to one day play these again on X after my backlog.
Wallace Rigby is it true that Bhunivelza+ is the hardest final Fantasy boss?
Tiff's Right Ear Nope, that title still belongs to Penance from FFX.
@@MrHakubi He is actually kinda easy with right equipment and strategy. I finished him in 4 minutes
I liked FF XIII but didn't really care for XIII-2 and I hated lightning returns with a passion
Someone needs to check their definition of "hidden gem" lol.
When xbox gives you a free remastered version compared to Sony making you pay a couple times
Wouldn't say free when you still have to pay for the game lol
@@TQT1995 paid the game 5 years ago
Not if you already have the disk... lmao@@TQT1995
PS4. For the PAYers.
@Alan Oliveira that name actually fits nicely
It's interesting seeing how the higher resolution cleans up the - quite notorious - FF13 alpha to coverage hair.
"It has an ending. That's something I can appreciate" - Alex "Savage" Battaglia
FF13 was a beautiful game when it came out (on PS3). Glad to see a video appreciating the art, which deserves it ... since this game gets hate bombed all the time, and almost all discussion of FF13 is overwhelmingly negative.
I much preferred the overall experience when I got to Gran Pulse, but I enjoyed the battle system throughout the game and have an overall good time with 13. Had never got around to 13-2 and just picked it up yesterday for xbox. Cant wait to play it on the X
The ps3 version was indeed the superior version, but even on 360, it still made my jaw drop back then!
Agreed, this game is so gorgeous, and it never gets the appreciation it deserves for that. To this day, one of the best looking HD era games. SE's artists are just incredibly talented, and it clearly shows with FFXIII.
i like how the "discussion" is usually negative, but overall reviews are mostly positive, vocal minority really applies to this game/series
@@landmine36 Yup, it's pretty silly.
Holy crap. A RUclips video that’s all positive on Final Fantasy XIII? Xbox One X even improves opinions on flawed games!
Yep, it's funny how suddenly everyone loves FFXIII because *GrAphiX*
The game is one of the worst in the series.
Kamuro Tetsu Honestly, I really enjoyed FFXIII. It’s just flawed. I felt it still had more personality than FFXV, and I enjoyed it more than VIII as well, so.
I was under the impression that DF reported more about the technical stuff and didn't try to push their opinion on the actual gameplay.
@@jetsetatrophy67 what? Where did you pull that out of your ass? There not saying anything besides the technical side of things
@@felipegomez7771 why are you responding to me
Everybody play the FFXIII trilogy now! It's good.
Agreed. After a decade, I've finally realised that they're great (even though I bought FF13 on day one back in the day and ferociously dismissed it as trash on online gaming forums). It hurts me to say this but...they're absolutely stellar games. They're arguably even better now.
already played the trilogy in 4k with better graphics/settings than this at 60fps last year was fun to play a second time around
Awful. The only one redeemable is LR for it's awesome garment system.
It's still the same piece of garbage that was years ago. nothing's changed but the graphics. Unless I missed something like added content to the original game that doesn't make it s*** anymore.
@@GANTZ100pts Okay so explain to me how this game was garbage🤔 How is a beautifully made game like this garbage? Good reasons only
John Linnenman continues to pick the best tracks from a subjected game into the background.
At this point, I've lost hope for an MCC X Enhanced analysis.
@Mr Glass I don't think it is
@Mr Glass wtf is preveiw?
Skip alpha ahead tier has the MCC X enhanced since 3 months now.
@@arshenio45 its like a xbox beta progamm . you test out new xbox features and new game features for games
MCC X Fixed Version.
I love these 1X analysis videos. Thanks guys!
Hey I know you guys are super swamped at the moment, but could you potentially revisit this with the series x/s and how smart delivery changes things if at all.
It would be the same as xbox one x, but with slightly better performance and faster loading times
I actually am playing it now and it works great with shorter loading times and smooth 30
These Videos with John and Alex are so chill and fun to watch!
THIS is Fan Service! Did they have to? No... just shows the respect they have for BC, and developers who busted their ass for years only to have a game live on for as long as the console it was developed for.... No no no.... Props to MS for starting this, and doing it right!
But will it win over respect from PS fans.... No... Just create more salt
Doing right? If they did it right i could play the entire 360 library.
@@hpickettz34 Work in progress.. Work in progress.... They cant just do this overnight... Guarantee they will try their damn best to get the ones they can
Really glad to see this get bc. I remember getting this game after playing Crisis Core and Dissidia. It was my first main Final Fantasy title and I loved it. Those six characters will always hold a special place in my heart. Even Vanille. It's not my favorite FF anymore since I have gone back and played the older titles, but nothing gives me nostalgia like seeing Lightning's reveal in the opening train cutscene.
XB1X best box 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯
tymefloc without these little performance improvements, there wouldn’t be a difference between the Xbox One X version and the Xbox 360 version
@Klumsy Kameleon who is we? Do you work at Microsoft
No moron.. PC will always be best.
@@SuperLuigiGuy64 no you can't, not for the same experience, a blue ray disk drive is already 1/5th of the Xbox one x price, so is gpu, ram
@Klumsy Kameleon and we have dragon quest 11, persona 5, tales of berseria, ys 8, legend of heroes, nioh etc...actual sick new jrpgs, none of which are on xbox...and those are only off-side games, i didnt even have to mention all the other amazing exclusives
2:48 Are the xbox 360 and Ps3 screens switched by accident? Because the right image is definitely higher res than the left.
Even though I'm one of the minorities here.... The 13 series are some of my fav RPGs of all time, I put 100+ hours into each one especially lightning returns and looking forward to going back to it.
I swear if Microsoft makes OG Nier compatible with XBOne X I will buy that shit in a heartbeat.
Oh my God yes
You do know Microsoft has made it so you can suggest and vote on games you want to be backwards compatible. Don't ask me how it works but it's something along those lines.
@@BurntAussie i will look into that. Thanks for the tip
the votes dont matter, the back comp team works on their whims. Everyone has been asking for Ninja Gaiden II and we are still waiting. They are doing great work though.
Playing on a 4k hdr tv, it feels like a brand new game. I wasn’t sure why I kept my copies, but im glad I did!
Yess! I’ve been wanting this! Thanks digital foundry!
Another win for the X. A masterpiece of engineering
Bro, search Xbox one x assembly, you'll be mindblown by how packed it is
This game isn’t the greatest I won’t call that a win at all.
@Lain The fact that it isn't PS4. PC > Literally a cheap PC that you CAN'T upgrade aka Xbox One > PS4
Lain it runs games better than the Pro! 😏😭😂
Lol, you sound like one of those people they were referring to at the beginning....
Final Fantasy XIII is easily one of the greatest games ever made and its sequels are absolutely fantastic as well ^^
Its amazing though how well the PS3 version has stood up. Still looks and plays fantastic.
Lightning looks so sexy on my Xbox One X.
Can confirm. I was looking through your window last night.
To bad she a flat lesbian
😂
Rule34 is your friend.
@@FerrariKangaroo top tier comment, solid lols here
I just got this trilogy for 360. Missed out on it back when they came out. This is great news. I get to play them looking amazing on the Xbox One X. So many games on Xbox to get through...
I know that feeling mate!
At this stage in the generation, I have way too many games yet to play (especially on my X). I actually put aside AC Odyssey and RDR2 (surprisingly) just to put 16 hours into FF13 over the weekend. It's one of the best gaming experiences that I've had this year oddly enough. FF13 is actually a really fantastic game.
@@FerrariKangaroo Awesome, yeah I can't wait to get through them. This news about the enhancements and backwards compatibility just made me way more excited to play them.
just amazing, props microsoft, welldone !!!! THX !!
Regarding the region lock, it seems like the xbox one just checks the disc and then downloads the game from whatever region you console is set to. This is also cool because it allows you to play the game in different dubs, while the original 360 discs usually only supported one voicetrack. (German games would for example only feature the German voicetrack) Now you can just set the region to whatever language you want to play it in and then start the download.
I honestly loved ff13 and can easily say it’s my favorite. The incredible world designs, the characters, the cutscenes, it was all so incredible that it really transported you to that world. Sure it was linear but like we realized with ff15, open world doesn’t mean always good. I honestly haven’t even touched ff15 and don’t plan to because it feels so unlike a ff game. Hoping a return to form with ff16.
This video reminded me of how much I loved the music of this games when they came out, particularly the first one
like say what you want about them but that soundtrack is killer
Yeah the soundtrack to Final Fantasy XIII is awesome! Hell even the game itself I like.
Saber's Edge, Blinded By Light, Fang's Theme, Defiers of Fate, March of the Dreadnaughts, The Gapra Whitewood, The Sunleth Waterscape, Dust to Dust, & The Archylte Step to name a few of my favorite tracks.
PS4 Pro was a rushed mistake.
Rushed but still outsells the X 3/1.
@@34sld weak reply. I play games (400 plus on my X vs 15 on my Pro) while 🐎🐎 can play sale and their exclusive yearly cinematic single player game over and over and over at weak resolution. 🤣
Rookie Monster lol, weak reply. Nevermind that it’s a weak thread made by a weak, insecure person.
Why rushed?
@Shizy Mcnizy Gaming i cannot careless what reasons you have or don't have. I, as a multiconsole owner, am just giving the people what my collection is. 🙂😉
There's literally nothing a fully made remaster could do with this game that hasn't been done by Microsoft's Back Compat wizards, aside from any actual extra content.
Just amazing.
This game is one of beautiful looking game on last generation. The game almost 10 years old but it's still look better than half of current generation graphics
Been waiting for them to add this trilogy to the library. Playing these again will be ICING.
Now all I need is JSRF Xbox. DO. NOT. FAIL. ME.
I kind of wish I had waited to play XIII until now. I played it on the 360 and the FMVs were horrible! I didn't have a PS3 at the time though so I was stuck with the 360 version. The FMVs were a major disappointment. The artifacting was so bad that it constantly distracted me.
However, I still enjoyed the game. I even took the time to get all the achievements and I'm glad I did because it forced me to experience parts of the game I would have probably missed, like some of the tougher enemies and optional boss fights. They were actually really fun and that was when the combat system really felt invigorating to use.
I've always meant to play XIII-2 and Lightning Returns but I just never got around to it. Now might be a good time to pop that copy I bought years ago XIII-2 into my X. :)
I love the art design in FF XIII.
Well that might be the only good thing about it aside from visuals/graphics......the story is shit, the characters and dialogue are annoying as hell....this game has almost everything that I generally hate about JRGPs, all the worst sides of them. Luckily it didnt make me lost faith completely in genre as whole, but try out some other games like Lost Odyssey and FFX that were lot better experiences. So ye, I dont wonder why many FF fans say this is one of the worst games in the franchise and its shame, cause the art, visuals and some of the character models are really great.
Agreed, it's fantastic looking game. Well worth playing again.
@@Balnazzardi Try out FFX? Dude, I have played every FF game since VII, I remember when X came out. I get why FF fans hate on XIII but I still like it but I can completely understand why long time fans don't like it. However, I believe its better in many ways to XV. At least XIII has old skewl turn based combat xD.
i love everything about these games.
I love Final fantasy XIII
Everytime I walk by my Xbox One X I wanna stick something into that Hott UHD BD slot... Fkn Love it ;D
Oh, that GAF meme still gold!
Glad to see Square Enix is still doing things with FFXIII. It's one of my all-time favorite games. The world, characters, story and soundtrack are all mindblowing. Such a beautiful and vibrant world.
I'd love to see a complete remastering of it once PS5 comes out. Enhanced graphics, lighting and shading, 60fps lock, native 4k, greatly reduced load times, FMV library, included OST and artwork library and perhaps even a couple minor gameplay tweaks to make the battle system more fluid. Like an option to turn off the paradigm shift animation if you so choose.
I’m so excited to play Lightning Returns - I’ve had the 360 version in the plastic since it came out, and I just didn’t have the chance to play it!
And I now have a Knouff of a reason to buy an Xbox one
i'm sorry but i'm going to be a grammar Nazi here!! a knouff, what the hell is that!!! I think you mean enough!!
You had more than enough reasons to pick this up when every single multiplat game plays best on the X..
Game of the Gen Rdr2. Yeh
But what ever floats your boat
Get blue dragon also 😘
@@axiomsoffate90 Talk to Siri about her grammar issues. She needs to learn how to take dictation correctly. (I can only imagine the comments to come forth).
I'm so happy that I have the Xbox One X in my hand.
Same, it's good to have the best console in the market.
Hello there! Thanks on the team for the amazing job you all do!
Is there any possibility that you test Tetris Effect?
lighting Returns may have the worst visuals out of the 3 but the Gameplay is so much better
Does this go over the regular XBOX ONE (S) version of the game? I know it doesn't have the 4K enhancements, but does it also get the updated videos? What about the framerate? Does that improve? I recall XIII-2 and LR being a bit framey on 360..
Sazh outfit looks like the uniforms that the characters wear in Attack of Titan.
I got all the dlc and just picked up all 3 for $30.00 on ebay I also have all 3 strategy guides so I am all the way ready to replay all 3 of them and get the achievements that I am missing on my new xbox one x just need to put my 2tb firecuda in my xbox one x so I can get the most out of it on my tcl 49' 4K tv with HDR and my logotech g506 5.1 surround sound since I just played them on the 360 this is a huge step up for me
THANKS Microsoft! Keep pushing! :)
Xbox One started out rough but this attention to detail by Microsoft is making Xbox One essential for serious gamers.
I never understood all the hate behind FFXIII. The first game was an amazing showcase on what the future of final fantasy would look like, XIII-2 had the best story out of all of them (caius, noah and yeul really made that game) and lightning returns, though the story was weaker than the rest, had amazing gameplay and wrapped up the saga in the best way leaving almost no loose ends.
if you ask me, XV should be considered the bastard child of the final fantasy franchise. that game started out amazing as XIII versus and then square scrapped a great game to recreate it as a boyband bromance game with an incomplete story bombarded with plot holes. also its worth mentioning that XV literally only had about 25 hours of story gameplay which any long time final fantasy player can tell you, is blasphemous (every mainline final fantasy game up to that point has always had a minimum of 40 hours story gameplay).
I somewhat liked FF13, I just did not like Snow and Hope during the first half and never liked Vanille. IN my opinion, Lightning, Sazh and Fang were the best. FF13-2 I only liked Caius and Noel. I did not like the time travel and I did not like Serah mostly because she took away Lightning's thunder and could have been replaced by Lightning. Lightning Returns has the best combat out of the three but the weakest story and worst art style.
But I agree with you about FF15 being the most poorly managed FF game in the series history.
15 also has a completely broken combat system that makes every fight trivial af, and the endgame is repetitive garbage.
Very nice, it's great to see some of the enhancements here.
Never thought I’d see this game again. Glad to see it :)
From the day I first got the Xbox one x (the day rdr2 came out) it has been nothing but a pleasure. True 4K and dead silent. *BEAST*
Best on Xbox One X
After mgs, crash and Spyro now another historic sony ip is better on Xbox. This must just like hell right sonybots?
RedHunter 117 and gamers still dont care and by 3 or 4 times more ps4 consoles and games. Bc doesnt sell consoles... The pain. Not having a single New IP this gen that Was a Hit. Damn, the pain... Wait to see the numbers after the Black friday where Sony is gonna sell more then the hole year of Microsoft with spider man combo.
Was eagerly waiting for this analysis, thank you so much DF!
'not possible to get 60 fps on pc' I dont know what you tested but that most certainly is possible, I use to play this on my old 290X at 1440p (originally had a freesync) If I remember rightly you had to notch the shadow resolution down and make sure resolution was set manual otherwise fps would be all over the place but by no means do you need a top end rig to run this at 60fps (sadly) now though you pretty much cannot run this on nvidia hardware with newer drivers thanks to some really wierd ass render resolution bug which physically locks you to 720p regardless of settings, only bypass is using DSR (but thats a pain because desktop scaling with it) also for some reason if you didnt have a controller plugged in that would sometimes screw with res/fps (no idea why) just a bad port that never got updated
yup they are full of shit i was on it a few months ago and it runs fine 4k 60fps
Yup, 7700K
GTX 1080
2X MSAA
4K shadows
4K @60fps
@@ron1nx61877 i tested with a 1080 ti i7 8700k @5ghz 4k res 8k shadows 16x msaa only using about 25-40% gpu usage for 4k 60fps
Very possible. Game is just badly optimize on PC.
@jvalex18 I have actually played through it 2 weeks ago there were a stutter here and there but fixed it with some help of Google after playing through the full game it was a smooth experience tbh the thing is the with the fix that I used the game caps at 59fps and not 60 but it's a frame differnce nobody would notice it
The art in 13 is amazing! That's why it looks so good. So glad I can get through this again tho I suck at it. (paradigm shifts etc etc) It would be nice to get some info about the audio too since 13's music is one of the best ever ff osts in my opinion. Overall... Thanks MS, great job! (and without paying a penny if you got the OGs) Can we have Nier and Asura's Wrath please?
microsoft are doing great work with their backwards compatibility program
I agree, this is a very impressive upgrade! If only Sony would do the same, I'd love to play this trilogy again in higher quality. I had a lot of fun playing it the first time, even on the 360! Thanks for the in-depth analysis, guys!
Been playing since BC kicked in! Going for a full playthrough on 13 on Xbox One X and share it on youtube :)
Same here! It looks amazing on the X hey?
Can we watch you on Twitch or something?
I've got videos up on RUclips with my mixer and twitch links.
@@FerrariKangaroo it's gorgeous and everything I hoped for!
Are you guys planning on doing an episode about Battlefield V's ray tracing?
"Even though, obviously, now people who played just on Sony consoles were probably a bit miffed at the fact that other people could play their game for some reason..."
Oh you have NO idea, dude. Just look at the Kingdom Hearts Sony fanboys towards the series being on Xbox. Needless vitriol towards a console they don't play at all because the series is coming to the console when Square Enix are a game company that'll port games to whatever systems they want to & Kingdom Hearts isn't a Playstation-exclusive series. Especially when only 3 games, in their original forms (no rereleases or ports are being counted here) were released on Sony systems only, yet they'll act like they aren't. Entitled gamer fanboys at their absolute worst, ladies & gents.
You know what? This makes me incredibly happy, even though I wasn’t the hugest fan of the game. I probably needed to stick with it more, but the only thing that really stuck out to me was the music. Seriously, XIII had AMAZING music.
Would love to see Dead Space trilogy enhanced for X1X and castlevania lords of shadow 1 and 2
This game holds up quite well, definitely an underrated entry in the series. Would be nice if SE did some basic improvements like high resolution textures, 4k videos, and 60 fps, would rival most current gen games with these changes.
Been wanting to give FF13 another go for years, hoping against hope that the PC version will be fixed.
Weird how in 2018, it's actually Xbox One X version that I might end up playing.
The PC version never got updated, but still it is the best version. You can easily get it to 4k30 if you have a really good pc.
This video finally convinced me to buy XIII and probably XIII-2 as well. This kind of extra work deserves to be supported. (And both games are 50% off right now.)
I have both X and the Pro I don't understand the troll comments and rivalry. I guess it's because I'm not poor.
No, it's console wars bullshit. People can't just let other people be happy with their console choices.
I hope they do more games like this. Fallout New Vegas, Lost Odyssey, Fable II, etc.
They should remaster this for ps4 and xbox one.
A Switch port of this would be great, but the file size would probably be an issue.
i loved this game.
The quality of music kept increasing with each iteration though, definitely!
What about the ps4 version?
Oh wait....
Wait for E3.
oh wait...
X1X is the best console.
LOL
E3 is dead
@Shizy Mcnizy Gaming not even exclusives like Killzone, until Dawn, Bloodborne, Driveclub, the order, streetfighter V etc are updated on the pro why should this be?
But first ps4 needs back compat, it doesn't even have that.
@Shizy Mcnizy Gaming , until dawn has no update but last of us has.
"cant think of any games on Xbox that id want to buy" That's because you're a pc gamer, not a console gamer. You think sony and ms want to sell a console at a loss for people to buy 3 rentals and no online subscription?
X1X is the ultimate console and most console players don't play on pc and only buy a few exclusives.
@@vandammage1747 Thanx to the X ps5 will thankfully have Back compat
It actually is possible to get above 60fps on the PC version i'm actually playing it at 120fps, you just need a simple program called FF13 Fix and then go to your nvidia settings and set the Power Management to maximum and boom, smooth sailing.
Now all Microsoft needs to do for their fans is one...only one exclusive to show us what the x can do with all that power. We need that.
But the base console has to run it too and that will hold it back
Yup. You're forgetting that these are mid gen upgrades and not the full gen leap. While the PS4 Pro isn't as good as the X, it's parity with it's base console keeps everyone happy. While base console owners of the Xbox One are pretty much left wayyyy behind.
Forza Horizon 4?
@@yeguilla Jesus Christ thank the Gods you mentioned that car racing game or else I won't have known about it and how awesome it is a real system seller.
Seizon Sha you asked for a game that shows off the X’s power and FH4 does just that. You didn’t ask about a system seller did you
Repurchased the first game, imma have a good time replaying it on my xbox one x, so excited!
Down votes why? It's Sonys fault pony's 🤷♂️
GermanSuicideGamers probably also the clickbaity title that its the best version yet and its not the PC version
Glitchman Yeah lol, these Xtards love to boast about their plastic box while pc demolishes it, also Ps4 and Pc is the best combo.
Baldur I do respect the 1 X for its price point, it is indeed the most powerful console and it shows (sometimes). PS4 and PC is best combo (dont forget switch) but its impressive how the One X can do all these enhancements for 360 games, and at least *somebody* doesnt charge extra for old titles if you owned the game already
From what they said int his video, & from what I've read, the PC ports of these games aren't good, especially the first game.
And I'd really hope SE could just release some sort of director's cut for the game, just like in FFXII. It should include:
- Hard mode in first two games if it's not already there
- Bleed/Wound feature for the first game
- Additional post game portal for first game that lead to unused arks
- All outfits unlocked for the second game
- Cheats/Boosters
- "Day select" for the third game (which does not reset progress unless an option is chosen) available post game
- "Infinite days and enemies" for the third game (omegas only available in the omega lair) available post game (which is effectively the additional day 13 that loops itself over and over)
- flying for the third game
I hope the Xbox team continues with backward compatibility since last-gen had amazing games which didn't get good ports to PC and this feature is honestly a system seller.
Absolutely. I've been converted from a PC gamer to an Xbox gamer thanks to the X. It's an amazing piece of gaming hardware. I love physical games!
Fascinating. Did you use your PC like a console or did you PC like a PC before making the switch?
Thank you for making this video!
