Lol ~ from the trailer doesn't seem that full of content. It's really going to be just a long (boring?) battle against Caius filled with cutscenes.

Curious to know that they refer to it as the "Next Prologue." XIII-3 confirmed already?
 
Well, after watching that video, I feel that I've seen the DLC in its entirety and no longer need to buy it. Good deal.
 
Didn't see anything really new to Gameplay and I don't think I can force myself to finish XIII-2 before next week. Will pick it up down the line though.
 
Interesting...? is this just DLC that details the (extended) fight between lightning and Caius? I'd like DLC that wraps up that cliffhanger ending

There's still the Snow episode too, lol. I agree though... waste of space.

Hopefully now that this is done & E3 isn't far behind, we can see what Square has next in mind for the Final Fantasy series... hopefully that means Versus.

Knowing them though, at E3, they'll STILL probably show off THIS at E3 to claim that it's something new.
 
Yeah. So youtubing this. This isn't going to resolve shit. That I mean the ending of XIII-2. It will just create more questions. All it looks like to me is battles with Ciaus in a Valhalla themed Coliseum. Meh.

Well given the last 10 seconds of the trailer it's pretty clear it shows what happened to Lightning at the ending of the game
In terms of content though it's looking like just the one long fight, which isn't enough to get me to play XIII-2 again (nor has any of the DLC been) but I might grab them all if I ever replay the game

I want XIII-3
 
The title for the DLC says it is "Next Prologue". I wonder if that means this DLC is the prologue for XIII-3.
 
Why I have feelings that we saw the whole DLC in this trailer?

Dear SE:
... please, just release ONE big and last DLC that give us a proper ending that your 60$ game failed to.

Sincerely your PISSED OFF fan.
 
I quite liked the ending of XIII-2. I'm fine with a XIII-3 or a DLC ending, whatever they want to do.

Or keep it at the cliffhanger, that's fine too.

Could've sworn there were talks about there being a XIII-3. I could see it happening.

I think they realized that they didn't have enough content for a proper trailer and just recorded the entire thing.

All their "DLC contents previews" detail the battles and moves of the incoming battles, but this last one is big 450MB, so there's definitely more to it. And with this I mean more cutscenes than shown here. The trailer didn't really spoiler much actually, just the battle in itself and not much story-wise. Which is better.
 
I think Square just took a page from Capcom's book in terms of "spoiling entire sequence with a single trailer."

I'm going to hold it entirely against you if I buy this and it literally is just one long battle and these cutscenes seen herein.

If you've finished the game and got all of the paradox endings, then finished the game again, you can naturally infer what exactly happened to Lightning. You don't need dialogue or lengthy speeches to tell you what's going on.

Sazh's episode had 8 minutes of cutscenes and was just 150mb more or less. Light's episode it's 450mb, no new areas or character models addess though. So the space is probably taken just by cutscenes. This trailer has barely 40 seconds of cutscenes in total, so expect way MORE in the final DLC.

That's what I'm saying, we all already know by the DATALOG what happens to Light, so the 40 seconds of cutscenes in this trailer don't spoiler much at all. What we don't know is WHY she ends up in crystal sleep and what's next, answers that the DLC is definitely going to solve at the end of it.

But... the story was finally getting somewhat interesting with XIII-2's ending, at least IMO. A lot of people hated it but I was actually intrigued by the events that transpired at the end.

The happenings at the end of XIII-2 are probably the most interesting part of the plot in either game, although that's not saying much.

Who doesn't?

I didn't buy a single piece of DLC which now probably costs over $60. Saving that money for day 1-ing F13-3 instead.

It isn't, but I was surprised with the tone and the fact that the writers actually twisted up the story a bit. It was the first time during the story of either game where I was actually paying attention to it in a serious manner.
 
I know the ending was interesting, but I don't think it warrants another game to provide closure. This trailer didn't exactly scream "buy the DLC now!". Somehow, I've kind of lost interest in these characters, so an XIII-3 announcement would be a pretty disappointing thing for me.

well FFXIII's ending didn't exactly warrant XIII-2, in fact it shoehorned in a bunch of bullshit to justify it, but XIII-2 ended up being vastly superior if you ask me which was far more justification than any terrible story retconning.
