Why did this piece of festering dog shit get as many sequels as it did?
>>726735574Female mc, thats why, also it was 2009 so the expectations for video games were low
>>726735574they spent too much money on the dog shit engine
I remember being in a group home and the black worker was playing this and I enthusiasticlly said oh shit I wanna see this! And he mocked my voice like I was nerd, then a few days later I told the home owner he was smoking weed and he got fired xD
>>726735574they had to find a way to reuse assets with V13 going down the shitter
>>726735574FFXIII cost a lot of money to make, but XIII-2 and LR did not because they could reuse the stuff they made for XIII. So the answer is "Because that way they could reuse asseys". XIII-2 and LR are budget games.

>>726735574recycling assets. but, the sequels had the upside of coming after the huge backlash of XIII, so they were fun and retarded, as FF games should be.
>>726735574Probably because of all the content they cut because it was too ambitious for the PS3. I mean if you play FF13 you instantly realize there is BARELY a game there. Hallways from point A to B to pep-talk cutscene. FF15 was also taking its sweet time to be made.https://www.eurogamer.net/ffxiii-has-plenty-of-dlc-material-report
>>726735574the crystal engine was worse than FF13 by a lot, it's why FF14 needed to be remade and they put a lot of money into it so they tried to shove it into as many games as possiblethe FF13 sequels was mostly them trying to make their money back but also they had a creative director that was obsessed with lightning
>>726735574It was an early big budget hd title and they had to find a way to reuse its assets as much as possible to get it's money worth It had nothing to do with quality,pretty much every studio struggled with its first big hd release in the late 00s
>>726735574They tried to make a better ff7. Ff versus or 15 was like 10 years in development hell and somehow it turned into ff13 3 or whatever.
>sold well>apparently popular in japan?>gotta make use of that engine and all those HD assets we made specifically for this gamei never played the sequels, i heard some good things but im not that interested desu.sazh and snow were cool
>>726735574Because Lightning is hot
>>726735574Because FF14 shat the bed and they took active devs off other games to work on it.Because FF Versus 13 shat itself and had to be restarted/delayed.13-2 and 13-3 were made out of recycled assets and outsourced to Tri-Ace. They were damage control.
>>726740441>13-2 and 13-3 were made out of recycled assets and outsourced to Tri-Ace. wouldn't surprise me if that's among the reasons they let those guys still exist
>>726741010in the future SE will probably have to bank on their smaller studios even more than now.
>>726735574Part 1 is kino. Sequels are garbage
