Should I Play the Sequels to FFXIII?

-

I’ve just started playing Final Fantasy XIII and I’m really enjoying it! I’m about 18 hours in and just reached the beginning of Chapter 8. I learned there are sequels and I’m wondering—are they worth picking up or should I just invest in a different entry in the series?

I totally love the trilogy! XIII-2 adds some nice quality of life improvements and incorporates monster catching, while Lightning Returns changes things up with an exciting combat system. You should definitely check them out!

EpicLootNinja -

Absolutely, the sequels are worth playing! They each have their own unique take, especially Lightning Returns, which features action combat and a bit of a time limit. It’s definitely a different vibe from XIII, but fun!

PixelWarrior -

The whole FF13 trilogy is really good! If you like the first one, you’ll enjoy the others. XIII-2 improves on XIII, while Lightning Returns has a completely different feel but is still good fun.

CrisisCoreFan -

Exactly! Some say Lightning Returns is the least favorite, but many also love it. It’s interesting to see all the different opinions.

ValorKnight77 -

Honestly, keep playing! The trilogy is phenomenal and each installment gets better in my opinion. I’d rate them as follows: XIII is a 9/10, XIII-2 a 9.5/10, and Lightning Returns a perfect 10/10! You won’t regret it.
