Characters, from a party standpoint, are pretty generic and there's nothing to really differentiate them from one another. Crazy bullshit required to get certain items (and maybe more) that revolved around not opening certain chests and stuff. +/- While the map feels a hell of a lot more open than FFX, there wasn't anything really compelling to me that made me feel that I should explore and find everything/do everything. It never becomes a standard FF type story with a real quest to save the world from some ultimate villain hell-bent on destroying it. Plot is a sub-story from a bigger political story about two kingdoms at war. +/- Some cool character designs, though most of the dialogue and story wasn't appealing to me, so I don't recall their actually "personalities". +Interesting combat system in real time including mechanics like bows or guns needing to hit flying enemies and the gambit system for controlling the AI party members was robust. People complain about the first 20 or so hours of FF13 being linear, but 99% of FFX was linear by comparison and people seem to love that. Religion based plot did not resonate with me +Large number of characters for your party, each with unique roles or abilities of some sort. +Classic turn based menu for fighting, if you like that sort of thing +Most stories revolve around central, if predictable, plots that are mostly fantasy-based Not sure if it helps, but I'll throw out this list of +/- for why I like/dislike each: Examples of users who couldn't find savegames because they were located in %APPDATA% here, here, here, and here.Īnother reason might be because users ask for it, as happens in this example.Depends on what kind of Final Fantasy experience you're looking for.

Placing the files in Documents, studios can save money on support calls that ask how to backup savegames, or how to migrate the savegames from one machine to another. The problem is that %APPDATA% and %LOCALAPPDATA% are hidden directories, and nobody seems to know about %UserProfile%\Saved Games. The best reason I can think of is to reduce cost of customer support. While legacy behavior can explain some of this, I don't think it is a strong enough reason to account for every major studio putting their files in the wrong place. So I have to assume the big studios with multi-million development costs have a reason for putting all their files - including temp files - in %UserProfile%\Documents\*. In my sample, all 4 games that don't put savegames in %UserProfile%\Documents\ or %UserProfile%\Documents\My Games\ are from tiny studios. That's a ratio of 1:9 for savegames being stored in %APPDATA%, %LOCALAPPDATA%, %UserProfile%\Saved Games versus %UserProfile%\Documents\*. 15 Games that save savegames and loads of other stuff in %UserProfile%\Documents\My Games.21 Games that save savegames and loads of other stuff in %UserProfile%\Documents, not counting.2 games that save savegames in %UserProfile%\Saved Games.3 games that save "other stuff" in %LOCALAPPDATA%.2 games that save "other stuff" in %APPDATA%.1 game that saves savegames in %LOCALAPPDATA%.1 game that saves savegames in %APPDATA%.It's silly and usually wrong, but it is what it is.
#WHERE DOES HEXCELLS PLUS PUT SAVE DATA CODE#
Games will also sometimes store files there because they haven't changed the behavior of the relevant code from older OS versions, as you suspect, or simply because they don't care to think about the problem that much. Games will sometimes store their settings and save files in the documents folder because it makes them visible, so less technical users will see them and be reassured that they do exist, or will be more likely to correctly back them up if their backup method is a crude, "copy the stuff in my user folder to another drive." The difference between them, for the purposes of this question, is primarily that %AppData% is where stuff the user should not need to see or interact with goes, and the documents folder is for the user's documents: stuff they'd want to see and interact with. The %AppData% and documents folders are for saving per-user data. Although to be fair, lots of regular application developers don't either. Game developers have not traditionally been great at respecting the conventions established by an operating system.
