Personally I think there’s some great Quality of Life improvements that can be made but having recently finished playing through XIII earlier in the year (albeit on Steam Deck) I don’t think it has aged all too terribly. Visually it still holds its own and improvements for me would largely sit within battle mechanics, such as allowing the team leader to be swapped when there is a KO, or even remaking Paradigm Shift animations.

I’d love to see more to do on Pulse, and maybe more opportunities for lore discovery by way of NPC interactions. But I’d expect the latter to be story breaking given how it unfolds and direction it takes.

What would you improve or change?

I recently replayed it for the first time in years and I loved it as well. I think it’s aged really well and still stands strong narratively.

Honestly never thought about a movie/tv series for it. Could be interesting, though I’m not sure I’d want something that follows the main cast from the game.

it has a very matrix-y feel, sure, but the plot could hold up very nicely as a series. also the battle system was pretty good albeit much different and might do well with a remake/rebirth style update

also i just think lightning is so amazing (no spoilers; i've only just started it on my steam deck)
