Final Fantasy XIII
One of the best lines in Final Fantasy XIII is uttered by its narrator, Oerba Dia Vanille, when she says, “Maybe we’d fall short. Maybe we’d never even come close. But someone, someday, would know we’d tried.”
These days the anticipation for the on PS4 grows stronger with every passing day. The reception for this updated version of the most beloved Final Fantasy makes me think of and how its legacy has shaken out in comparison. Like (the only other instalment that can contest it for the title of the most divisive Final Fantasy) it took risks and, as a result, fell short of the expectations of many fans. But it’s important to know that it isn’t perfect, as I give it a reinstall and dive back into it, I’m reminded why it’s one of my favourites: namely, its excellent cast.
