Sarah was as bland as they come...how the hell is she getting her own game? Well, cant say I am against having female characters as the protagonists...but squeeky teenage girls are every bit as tedious a hero as the male variety...
Day 1 of course...

It refers to the "blood damage" system which they showcased. When you receive damage from enemies, sometimes the damage is blood damage, which reduces your maximum HP for that battle. I don't play Monster Hunter, but many of the blogs and impressions refer to it as a system which seems inspired by the Monster Hunter series.

Chocobo is just one of the monster types you can have in your party as the monster member. They showed off 2 new monster types at the event today: Chocobo (Attacker) and Cat Sith (Healer). All monster types which you can recruit (150+ in all) have their own special attacks. There's a bar which builds up during the battle,and when it's full they can pull off a special attack with on screen QTE prompts. Chocobo does the Chocobo Kick, and Cat Sith does the Neko Punch.

I can't tell if this is ignorance or just lack of actually playing through FF13. Then again... looking at your avatar... maybe it is just ignorance.

I kind of want Limit Breaks to return... I also want the FF victory theme to return, but I guess they could just say it's not an actual numbered game in the series so it doesn't need it. Still disappointed that 13 didn't have it.
there is a very detailed report with lots of pics from everything http://www.i-mezzo.net/log/2011/09/11000535.html
if someone is willing to translate.

- Fans were given 1 hour to play the game, after the staff explained the game to them.
- There was a 30 min Q&A session after the demo session, where they surveyed the fans on their impressions, as well as answering questions about the game.
- This build is the same demo build which will be available at TGS 2011, but at TGS attendees will only have 15 minutes each to play the demo.
- Each player was given their own demo station with a LCD TV to play the game. They had both PS3 and Xbox360 builds available, this blogger played the Xbox360 version.
Then he goes on to describe his experience with the demo, and the various content/systems in the game. Pretty much all have been covered previously in previews and/or this thread, so I don't really want to write it all up again. In the Q&A section they do mention that Blood Damage is a system they came up with to counter the over-effectiveness of having a Healer in the Paradigm by limiting how much you can heal as a battle drags on.

Honestly it sounds great and looks to rectify all my concerns with the original game, as well as being more experimental in terms of structure. I always wanted more time travel in the series. Hopefully Serah and Noel are more interesting characters than the cookie cutter archetypes they appear to be.
It'd be amazing if this game was somehow worse than XIII. Heck, one moogle is an improvement.

I should note that at no point did they actually suggest or mention that there is any data actually being carried over. Only that for those who have a FFXIII save on the system, they're planning something nice. It's probably just some unlockable or bonus items for those who have a FFXIII clear save or something.

I can't believe how fantastic this game is sounding. I liked FFXIII, but I can't really recommend it completely, and it's one of my least favorite FFs. Still a decent RPG though. This, however, really just seems to be doing everything right. The only thing I am really concerned about is how the hell Toriyama is going to make an even half-way decent story derived from the original's trainwreck. I'm hoping he can do it. Very optimistic about this one.
What they're saying about gameplay enhancements sounds fantastic and if the player truly has choices that affect the story, it would be a nice step forward for the franchise. It's just a shame that they're saddling it with some lame characters and what seems to be shaping up to be a lame story.FateBreaker said:
Tokyo Game Show will play host to a variety of new reveals, including an introduction to some of the old characters from FINAL FANTASY XIII, several of which will be playable, likely as guest party members. The identity of the mysterious man fighting against Lightning will likely be revealed as well.
As for the game's length, Toriyama explains that it's slightly shorter than XIII in terms of volume, but many new gameplay elements have been added including the Historia Crux system, fragments, and mini games.
The Moogle in XIII-2 has the ability to grab items from the world of Valhalla. His mission is to help Serah. Chocobos will of course appear in the game as well, including a new red version. In XIII, they were only accessible in Gran Pulse, but will now have the ability to travel anywhere. Chocobos will not be available from the start of the game, however, but will be gained when easy movement becomes difficult.
Two new monster types were revealed at the event, including Chocobos and Cait Siths. Chocobos fall under the Attacker role, while Cait Sith is considered a Healer. Over 150 different types of monsters will be available for your capturing, and will also feature a Crystarium-like growth system.
When asked about possible downloadable content for the game, Kitase could not comment, but did say that the team was actively looking into it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Cat Sith that fluffy toy from FFVII? What's he doing in FFXIII-2?

I love how the Japanese make up a new name for something that is most likely a tiny gimmick.
In the bigger picture, it definitely looks like the Gestalt Mode of Bahamut from XIII.Perfo said:Oh, that's Bahamut then? I couldn't tell at start, because while the body looks like the original... the head is more like a cloud
Claws, face-fang things, wings, body, gestalt function. All look the same.
I'm just watching this video and comparing now to be sure, and it definitely looks like it. Also he's riding it in Gestalt Mode, so it definitely belongs to him.
