after like 5 years i connected my ps3 again to check some games, ive been playing ps4 for the last 5 years, and when i started ff13 again after so long i still cant understand how it looks almost like a ps4 game, sometimes it looks even better than some ps4 games O.O and also i cant find a game with a combat system similar to this, it is so fluid and special i love the good design in general this game has, it is so solid and without any bugs or weird things... you can criticize a lot of other aspects maybe but it is a really solid game
Well, the game does look good but it's a combination of a variety of illusions that makes it look like that but you can also see the technical limitations. So a good example is, the world on the whole is pretty linear. Whilst this area does open up a bit, it's still pretty small with not much happening in it, reducing CPU and memory constraints. For example, the number of AI (complex calculations) is very limited and there's very little going on in the way of physics calculations outside of perhaps the clothing on the characters. The lack of any blades of grass (with the exception of a handful near rock edges) indicates GPU and memory constraints again. It's like a PS4 version would have had far more blades of grass due to this. Now does this make FFXIII a bad looking game? No of course not, whilst there are graphical limitations, the developers carefully crafted the world around these limitations and thus we still have a great looking game. I'd love to see how it would look on a modern console.
The graphics and the music were great. But the pacing and gameplay were horrid from a design perspective. It was more of a tech demo than a game. Hell, like 90% of the story is told through basically reading an encyclopedia.
While most PS3 games runs at 720p, this game runs at 1080p. That's why its image quality is crisp, lush and beautiful. Hopefully they'll make a remaster Trilogy for PS4.
@Just Some Guy without a Mustache If you think in terms of polygons. Obviously 1080p will have more polygons and pixels that will make the images on screen have more depth and life.
Definitely lol, I remember seeing MGS4 back in the day and thinking games literally couldn't look any better than that. Kind of crazy how much better stuff has become since then.
@@AionShanks You have to tweak it to be pretty good. As well mod it to a point that it looks better then PS3 and Xbox One X/Series X. Just depends if you wanna go through the effort of doing that though.
Please do a video to show the beauty that is Final Fantasy XIII-2. The beach (very early in the game) at night with the crystal spoiler glowing in the sky is the most breathtaking setting I’ve seen in a game, and there’s many more visually pleasing zones.
There was a lot of love put into this game. The music, design and ideas in its story were something really special, but it was let down by it direction. It never quite came together.
It definitely had it's flaws. Especially the whole party losing if the host person dies. But yeah. Honestly I'd say this had to be one of the most "skillful" combat systems in final fantasy. If you can't react quick you lose.

@@eduuklee9453 FF XI was actually very popular back in days. Of course it's little dated now, it's nearly 20 year old, but it's still kicking. FF XIV is actually best FF in years. It has millions on players, and it's very popular game. Dissidia NT is not mainline FF game, it's spin off, and it's not very good.
LOVED this game. The hype was so real and it did not disappoint. I’m sorry quite a few people couldn’t appreciate this title for what it was worth. My ONLY problem was the antagonist and his style. Hahaha.
the only people who don't enjoy it are either nostalgia nerds or people who repeat what their local youtuber says (who is probably a nostalgia nerd). this game has shortcomings, but it's nothing near the shitshow they make it out to be
People love to hate on Final Fantasy XIII and it’s definitely not a perfect game but it is graphically a masterpiece. It would almost look just fine if it was released today. Stretched the PS3 hardware beyond all expectations. Fang actually looks like a real person in some cutscenes. Game blew my mind.
Wow this really brought back memories, I really loved FF13, great soundtrack to in my opinion. And yes PS3 FF13 graphics / visuals was ahead of its time, just beautiful ! Never played FF13-2 or FF13 Lighting 😢
Playing this on PS3 in 2010 on an HDTV was crazy. Most PS3 multi-platform games looked worse than the 360 version and this was the exception. 360 version was 576p, and on PS3 was either 720p or 1080p(states 1080p on the back of the box but doesn't guarantee that's native res) This and some other games like Killzone 2/3, straight up felt like you were playing a game from the future. This game came out in 2009 in Japan, so really this is 2009 console graphics. Recently replayed this on PC at 4K and it looked so beautiful, it really scaled up well. Came here after watching the XBC3 Nintendo Direct, I'm not a graphics whore, because obviously the switch has to be portable, but as someone who mostly plays it in docked mode anyway. there are games from 13-14 years ago that I think give modern Nintendo games a run for their money. But I guess FFXVI/FF7Rebirth on PS5 are the games that are supposed to fill the super modern JRPG role.
I am a bit of a graphics whore. But what I like most about graphics is with consoles. I like when a game pushes the hardware to the max and seeing how much they can get out of it. With PC I never get that same feeling.
@@OwtDaftUK I get that. I think it's a interesting time with the Pandemic supply and Microchip shortages. It's prolonging the cross-gen period significantly and companies are trying to squeeze everything out of the PS4/Xbox One. more than any generation prior. On one hand that fascinates me, on the other I'm ready to see the PS5/Series X be pushed more. Final Fantasy XVI and FF7 Rebirth are launching PS5 exclusively, can't wait to see that.
One thing Square Enix has always been good at is making their games look really good even if the gameplay or story is not always everyone's cup of tea. FF 8 9 10 and 12 also look very good for their age.
As a long time FF fan I was really hyped when this game was released on PS3 in 2009. I was blown away by the graphics, but I don't have money to buy. 😅
I need my FF10 remake first. I'm sure others are waiting for 8 and 9 remakes, but I need to see Spira remade. And then Ivalice. Then we can talk about a 13 remake.
@@mavisiu1387 Nice. I find myself revisiting the game on occasion, but the funny thing is as a kid I had zero appreciation for it and preferred 12. As the years have gone by I've liked it more and more and now it stands as one of my favorite games of all time. And it's hard to believe this year the game is gonna be 20 years old. I think after an 8 and 9 remake 10 should definitely be remade but I got no complaints if they're willing to skip those two and jump to a 10 remake!
Final Fantasy's graphics always ahead of its time, remember FF8 CGI? And FF12 which pushed ps2 to its limit, Square enix never failed to make us drop our jaws everytime the new series come in
Yeah, and the crazy thing is that it came out in 2009 in Japan. When you compare this game that's about 13 years old to some of the Nintendo Switch game's graphics... I love my switch but it's starting to wear on me that I feel like I played better looking games 13-14 years ago. Going between it and my PS5 is such a huge contrast
i remember playing this game on my first hd tv, it was a spectacle but looking back at it now it really shows how important art direction is. the way the game was designed as a narrow hallway really did give them the graphical budget to go all out, but as soon as you get to wide open areas like in the beginning of the video it starts to look like wii game.
The video the past week just started getting loads of view out of no where. I only have 228 subs so it's weired for a video to suddenly get 100k views.
How much nostalgia...Unfortunately, in comparison with old final fantasy titles, only playing ffxiii is not enough to have a complete experience, but the complete trilogy itself gives very good memories... Amazing music the three titles being so different each one, indeed. At least this trilogy is the last similarity to previous final fantasy games with that original battles... I really enjoyed seeing how they were changing little things in battles making a hybrid between turns and action. Hope they re-realease the trilogy remastered in HD for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
Yeah I'm so mad that I can't play this on the PS4 and that they won't release a remastered version of this. This was a beautiful game. The reason we have FFXV.
I just booted this up on my Xbox One S last night and was blown away by it. Thought especially on a modern large tv the graphics would get mushed but it was literally the best looking game I’ve seen in ages. Even fifa 21 doesn’t run this smoothly
I have replayed 13 on the series x and currently redoing 13-2 and they look even better in 4k. Lightning Returns is my fav 13 game so can't wait till I rebuy the xbox version of that.
Correct me if im wrong, but with sidequests you help unrestful lcies right? And once you killed the target the lcies will become rested, and new datalogs will appear telling the more about the mythos of ff13? If this is correct, i hope that if the game is remastered, instead of just adding something to the datalog, the soul they saved would talk to them and tell them pieces of the mythos. This way players will no longer be angry about "learning the backstory of ff13 by reading the datalog". I also hope the party can teleport back to the places visited only once. With more sidequests on them. That would solve the problem with linearity. I understand that many players were excruciated with the "hallway" maps but being able to go back to these maps and get sidequests from them i guess will make players happy.
This is a special game to me. I didn’t understand any of the criticism at the time. It was my first FF however. But I assumed all of them had flouncy, giggly cute girls like Vanille lol but she really bothered a lot of people. I thought that type of character was what most Japanese presented in their media. First time playing it I was still unsure on certain story elements - fal’cie , L’Cie, always mixing Cocoon and Pulse up with one another. But by my 3rd playthrough (over so many years) the whole lore makes sense to me. Maybe a Wikipedia check to brush up on. But the world and characters and themes and journey made it such a special first JRPG for me.
I re played after 10 years again in 2020 the last fine Game from this franchice. Some people criticized this game in the past, they was wrong, compared with FFXV, this have a good History and characters with personality, the esence is everything.
When I played this game I had like 9 years old, and I thought this game was good, and the battle system was fun, a bit bored and confused because I didn’t knew english back then. At the end made me cry seeing everybody being with their loved ones except Hope and that broke my heart even more. I wished this Final fantasy was different but 12 years later it feels like I wanna play this game again 🥴
Impressive enough, the Crystal engine worked so well for FFXIII and had some really nice graphical visuals for the time that it used by Square. Sadly it failed very hard for FFXIV Online. And later Square adapted and used the Luminous Engine.
Sin duda eran espectacular.otro que estaba a la altura de ff era dead or alive 5 the last round.pero sin duda que hasta ahora lo recuerdo por eso mismo,las gráficas.....y la jugabilidad me encantó también.
@@soldadoryanbr7776 I now have played though the SeX version of the game and it's a very gorgous game in 4k. It's how I remmebered it looking when it came out on PS3. 720p looks so crisp back then. I will rebuy the xbox version of XIII-2 and LR as well. LR is probs my fav of the 13 games.
this game wasn't even bad, most reviews gave this game an 8, which is a "good" game. it wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. people just kept crying that it was linear as if ffx never existed. and I'm still waiting for an hd remaster, it seems like square has given the hd treatment to every ff game besides 13.
I think that the linear problem comes because except the last area everything else is not re-explorable unlike FFX where the game was still linear but most of the old locations where still visitable
How is it that this was never ported to PS4? They have every final fantasy from 7 to 15, with the exception of 11 cuz it's online...but never porting the 13 trilogy to PS4 is surprising, especially considering most big PS3 games were doing that when the 4 first came out.
I know that feeling. I later learned to like it but it’s thanks to FF13-2. Moreso than the linearity of the game, the less likable characters turned me off. Noel was charismatic enough and a more FF-ish character to give the sequel a chance. Plus it was $15 brand new on sale. The price dropped fast. I went back to FF13 later. Still don’t prefer the battle system though.
Vaya siempre he pensado que el juego con los mejores gráficos de PS3 es final fantasy XIII! y mira, hoy encuentro este video XD Debo decir que en calidad gráfica sin duda Final fantasy XIII fue el que mejor exploró el hardware del PS3 sin ninguna duda!!! Final fantasy XIII es un juego que hasta el momento nunca le encontré un bug y creo que también es el único juego que no tiene ningún parche hasta el día de hoy, en si es una gran calidad de obra de parte de square enix.
Pues..si tiene un bug que nadie lo menciona, es que mientras farmeas los adamantaimai con el team de Fang, vanille y hope, luego de obtener el primer trapezoedro, ya no puedes conseguir más si usas el mismo team, por lo que tienes que cambiar al menos a un integrante, es muy raro que pases dias farmeando y no te salga ni 1 trapezoedro, es posible que sea un bug
Well I think most of the game textures are lower quality compared to newer games but I certainly agree that FFXIII visual side is beautiful and well planned so that it looks like what it is. Also lighting seems more calm which my eyes appreciate. In many games the lighting seems to go way over the top(for example in FFVII Remake PS5 version comparison. I just didn't like how bright everything was and how all the effects were too dramatized). I personally think that games should focus more on efficiency rather than making everything look too high quality. I don't care if rock has 4k texture because eventually I just won't notice it anymore. All this is opinion based of course so if many rather have it the other way then there's nothing wrong in it. I'd just rather there were more conversation of what is deemed "realistic" or pretty so there would be more options in future.
Im a huge fan of the Xenoblade games and this one reminded me so much of chronicles X (one of my favorites) but I always hear people talking sht about the game. Should I check It out anyway?
Look up this dudes, stable fps in a open place with a lot of creatures moving around and some of them are giants. Nowadays some games cry to solvent all of this
It is so unfortunate that SquareEnix made the mistake of not paying attention to the plot and how it was presented. Third rate writers would have improved the plot and dialogue. It reminds me of the Star Wars prequels and yes men who nodded in approval whenever George Lucas said anything.
This trilogy had a lot of mixed opinions but you have to admit they’re really gorgeous games
Great music too.
And the battle theme absolutely slaps
Ff13 -1 especially the sequels always looked a bit more jaggy with less anti aliasing and polish.
Well i liked this trilogy
Final Fantasy XIII is gorgeous. Lightning Returns is ugly as hell

Well, the game does look good but it's a combination of a variety of illusions that makes it look like that but you can also see the technical limitations. So a good example is, the world on the whole is pretty linear. Whilst this area does open up a bit, it's still pretty small with not much happening in it, reducing CPU and memory constraints. For example, the number of AI (complex calculations) is very limited and there's very little going on in the way of physics calculations outside of perhaps the clothing on the characters. The lack of any blades of grass (with the exception of a handful near rock edges) indicates GPU and memory constraints again. It's like a PS4 version would have had far more blades of grass due to this.
Now does this make FFXIII a bad looking game? No of course not, whilst there are graphical limitations, the developers carefully crafted the world around these limitations and thus we still have a great looking game. I'd love to see how it would look on a modern console.
The power of art direction sire.
better than xenoblade or its sequel on wiiu?
The graphics and the music were great. But the pacing and gameplay were horrid from a design perspective. It was more of a tech demo than a game. Hell, like 90% of the story is told through basically reading an encyclopedia.
xxJing youre talking about this game or xenoblade?
For real, FFXIII graphics are still breathtaking to this day.
I have to say the UI, sound affects, and music are also very charming.
It look and sound “fancy “.
FF13 graphics were amazing for its time and still holds up to this day
While most PS3 games runs at 720p, this game runs at 1080p. That's why its image quality is crisp, lush and beautiful. Hopefully they'll make a remaster Trilogy for PS4.
Only the pre rendered cutscenes run at 1080p, the actual gameplay runs at 720p iirc.
@Just Some Guy without a Mustache If you think in terms of polygons. Obviously 1080p will have more polygons and pixels that will make the images on screen have more depth and life.
@Just Some Guy without a Mustache Uh, yeah it is. By this logic texture quality doesn't make a difference.
This was the point in the game where it felt like a real FF. Such a vast environment.
Back in the PS3 days just about every game looked hyper realistic in comparison to PS2.
Gran Turismo 4 on ps2 was better than most of ps3's games
knight meh
Definitely lol, I remember seeing MGS4 back in the day and thinking games literally couldn't look any better than that. Kind of crazy how much better stuff has become since then.
It was the last substantial graphical leap
Wont be another jump like that again... I was amazed at the first Gears of War when I got it :)

I didn't mind the build up I actually loved it but GP should have been twice as big and had more human stuff going on.
Gran Pulse was the most boring part of the game.
@@Miha-ii3dy correction: this game was the most boring part of this game.
Everytime a new FF comes out, it always has some new graphics tech to showcase and blow the other competition out of the water.
Yeah I'm so mad that I can't play this on the PS4 and that they won't release a remastered version of this. This was a beautiful game. The reason we have FFXV.
I just booted this up on my Xbox One S last night and was blown away by it. Thought especially on a modern large tv the graphics would get mushed but it was literally the best looking game I’ve seen in ages. Even fifa 21 doesn’t run this smoothly
I have replayed 13 on the series x and currently redoing 13-2 and they look even better in 4k. Lightning Returns is my fav 13 game so can't wait till I rebuy the xbox version of that.
Unpopular option: I would play the trilogy again
Yes it was. Honestly my jaw dropped when I first played this back in the day.
Now if this trilogy got a remaster, just.........wow.
Correct me if im wrong, but with sidequests you help unrestful lcies right? And once you killed the target the lcies will become rested, and new datalogs will appear telling the more about the mythos of ff13?
If this is correct, i hope that if the game is remastered, instead of just adding something to the datalog, the soul they saved would talk to them and tell them pieces of the mythos. This way players will no longer be angry about "learning the backstory of ff13 by reading the datalog".
I also hope the party can teleport back to the places visited only once. With more sidequests on them. That would solve the problem with linearity.
I understand that many players were excruciated with the "hallway" maps but being able to go back to these maps and get sidequests from them i guess will make players happy.
This is a special game to me. I didn’t understand any of the criticism at the time. It was my first FF however. But I assumed all of them had flouncy, giggly cute girls like Vanille lol but she really bothered a lot of people. I thought that type of character was what most Japanese presented in their media. First time playing it I was still unsure on certain story elements - fal’cie , L’Cie, always mixing Cocoon and Pulse up with one another. But by my 3rd playthrough (over so many years) the whole lore makes sense to me. Maybe a Wikipedia check to brush up on. But the world and characters and themes and journey made it such a special first JRPG for me.
I always loved the 13 trilogy. Beautiful.
I re played after 10 years again in 2020 the last fine Game from this franchice.
Some people criticized this game in the past, they was wrong, compared with FFXV, this have a good History and characters with personality, the esence is everything.
They had less resources, but more talent back then.
Nostalgia overload
When I played this game I had like 9 years old, and I thought this game was good, and the battle system was fun, a bit bored and confused because I didn’t knew english back then. At the end made me cry seeing everybody being with their loved ones except Hope and that broke my heart even more. I wished this Final fantasy was different but 12 years later it feels like I wanna play this game again 🥴
Play it again its probably like 6 dollars now at your local game store.
Impressive enough, the Crystal engine worked so well for FFXIII and had some really nice graphical visuals for the time that it used by Square. Sadly it failed very hard for FFXIV Online. And later Square adapted and used the Luminous Engine.
Always loved the atmosphere of this untamed World 😍
I wish this game were just one and were perfect. It's so beautiful.
Sin duda eran espectacular.otro que estaba a la altura de ff era dead or alive 5 the last round.pero sin duda que hasta ahora lo recuerdo por eso mismo,las gráficas.....y la jugabilidad me encantó también.
Ffxiii graphics are beginning to look dated, but they hold well. An exemplary staple of what good resources management can get you into
Man I miss and love this game. Please come to PS4 and 5. I really don’t want to get a series x to replay it.
i wish they had lightning returns for ps vita :/
The music is just amazing!
Man i still remember how long that hall was.
You should see this on the Series X. Looks like a remaster
I do plan to rebuy the games on the SX when I next come to play them.
@@OwtDaftUK I like your channel. I subbed
@@EpsiIonEagle Thx mate.
The cutscenes have higher res in the Xbox one/XS
@@soldadoryanbr7776 I now have played though the SeX version of the game and it's a very gorgous game in 4k. It's how I remmebered it looking when it came out on PS3. 720p looks so crisp back then. I will rebuy the xbox version of XIII-2 and LR as well. LR is probs my fav of the 13 games.
this game wasn't even bad, most reviews gave this game an 8, which is a "good" game. it wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. people just kept crying that it was linear as if ffx never existed. and I'm still waiting for an hd remaster, it seems like square has given the hd treatment to every ff game besides 13.
I think that the linear problem comes because except the last area everything else is not re-explorable unlike FFX where the game was still linear but most of the old locations where still visitable
we love this game so much!
How is it that this was never ported to PS4? They have every final fantasy from 7 to 15, with the exception of 11 cuz it's online...but never porting the 13 trilogy to PS4 is surprising, especially considering most big PS3 games were doing that when the 4 first came out.
I really do not like this game, but I'd be lying if i didn't say it's one of the prettiest games in the series.
I know that feeling. I later learned to like it but it’s thanks to FF13-2. Moreso than the linearity of the game, the less likable characters turned me off. Noel was charismatic enough and a more FF-ish character to give the sequel a chance. Plus it was $15 brand new on sale. The price dropped fast. I went back to FF13 later. Still don’t prefer the battle system though.
*Killzone 3:* Let me introduce myself
the time goddess
absolute respect
Easily best on the 3.
Gorgeous game that still holds up against even recent titles.
Vaya siempre he pensado que el juego con los mejores gráficos de PS3 es final fantasy XIII! y mira, hoy encuentro este video XD
Debo decir que en calidad gráfica sin duda Final fantasy XIII fue el que mejor exploró el hardware del PS3 sin ninguna duda!!!
Final fantasy XIII es un juego que hasta el momento nunca le encontré un bug y creo que también es el único juego que no tiene ningún parche hasta el día de hoy, en si es una gran calidad de obra de parte de square enix.
I don't think I ever came across a bug in it as well.
@@OwtDaftUK definitely they are the best graphics on a PS3 and to this day it still looks excellent!
Para ser de lanzamiento el mejor es Metal Gear Solid 4, pero, el FF XIII habiendose lanzado en 2009 no está nada mal también
Pues..si tiene un bug que nadie lo menciona, es que mientras farmeas los adamantaimai con el team de Fang, vanille y hope, luego de obtener el primer trapezoedro, ya no puedes conseguir más si usas el mismo team, por lo que tienes que cambiar al menos a un integrante, es muy raro que pases dias farmeando y no te salga ni 1 trapezoedro, es posible que sea un bug
I'd say these are the best PS3 graphics for a multiplatform game. THE best PS3 graphics would be a hard tie between Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2.
Well I think most of the game textures are lower quality compared to newer games but I certainly agree that FFXIII visual side is beautiful and well planned so that it looks like what it is. Also lighting seems more calm which my eyes appreciate. In many games the lighting seems to go way over the top(for example in FFVII Remake PS5 version comparison. I just didn't like how bright everything was and how all the effects were too dramatized).
I personally think that games should focus more on efficiency rather than making everything look too high quality. I don't care if rock has 4k texture because eventually I just won't notice it anymore.
All this is opinion based of course so if many rather have it the other way then there's nothing wrong in it. I'd just rather there were more conversation of what is deemed "realistic" or pretty so there would be more options in future.
Much more beautiful than all ps3 uncharted.
even final fantasy xii still hold up pretty well compared to today games
I want Square Enix to release Final Fantasy XIII Complete Trilogy with all DLCs included in the Disc.
We need ff xiii trilogy remastered
You know what we need?
L̶i̶g̶h̶t̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶b̶i̶k̶i̶n̶i̶ ̶a̶r̶m̶o̶r̶
A FFXIII Remake.
Im a huge fan of the Xenoblade games and this one reminded me so much of chronicles X (one of my favorites) but I always hear people talking sht about the game. Should I check It out anyway?
FFXIII is a must play
You played xenogears?
i fall in love with this game
SMT GAMES: kill the God
FF games: kill the Cactus
In a way I wish modern games had these graphics with all the updated streamlined mechanics of newer games.
Look up this dudes, stable fps in a open place with a lot of creatures moving around and some of them are giants. Nowadays some games cry to solvent all of this
I think the best graphics are in The Last of Us or Beyond: Two Souls but this is also beautiful
This epic game should remastered or remake again..👍
XIII was so boring, they put all the effort into the graphics and had no budget to pay the writers. Uncharted 3 was also extremely beautiful.
It is so unfortunate that SquareEnix made the mistake of not paying attention to the plot and how it was presented. Third rate writers would have improved the plot and dialogue. It reminds me of the Star Wars prequels and yes men who nodded in approval whenever George Lucas said anything.
More improved textures of foliage and more vibrant colors on grass it will be like a ps4 game period.
i feel like the best ps3 graphics are in Asruas wrath, they did a good job with the lightning and designs
when I played this on the 360 for the first time I was blown away
This game was a spectacle to behold. Cocoon in the sky opened so much imagination
Can we make ports of this trilogy for the Switch?
unfortunately one of the fewest ps3 games that had 1080p
Game that i shouldve played on the ps3 when i had a chance
