So basically they're doing an other FFX-2? ROTFL
Lightning is the missing one instead of Tidus and Serah instead of Yuna goes searching her with new friends?
And Lightning finds herself trapped in some king of extra-temporal dimension where she becomes Sailor Moon.....
Yeah right.
If this han't explorable towns I won't even rent it.

Yes it looks fantastic, it was really strange in the first game how the last few CG cutscenes looked different to those that came before. Almost as if a different animation house or tech was being used on them. Hoping this time they go with one style or the other.Kagari said:

It was way worse in the whole auto-pilot thing than FFXII and FFXII got blasted for it.

I think the game will shift between perspectives like in XIII. That being said, I don't want a 30 hour tutorial like the last game. If I am playing this game it better be straight up combat or there should be an option to remove the tutorial. Secondly, I want to see a difficulty setting for this game cuz XIII was way too easy if you knew what paradigms were essential. The only challenging things were perhaps the boss fight. More difficulty, less tutorial, more active battle system, less crapy story, same characterization please.

They reused a ton of assets from FFX to get to FFX-2 so I expect them to do the same for FFXIII-2.
Since the bulk of the technical work is already done, they can hopefully concentrate on the story this time around.

At least in XII you had to switch up your style during the boss fights/tougher areas. In XIII I just smashed auto battle the whole time and never really had any trouble.Bitmap Frogs said:

I'm not sure if I'm disappointed that they seem to be using the same battle system. I loved it so it's not a big deal, but I expect a brand new and brilliant battle system in my FF games, but maybe they have some surprinsing new feature that will make the battle system feel brand new.

That's because the gambit system was totally customizable.
With XIII it's like they took what they thought was the "best ideas" from the gambit system and set the auto commands from the roles to behave that way. It worked for the most part, though I hated how Syngerists were handled.

I don't like the look of that Noel character and I never liked Serah in FFXIII either but I am still very excited for this game!

Looks okay, I guess. (I'm not very psyched about Auto-battle still being in there, but as long as I can still change the initial option to "Abilities" in the options screen as in FFXIII, then I guess it's okay). I hope we can finally move allies in-battle and give more commands to allies. Or even modify their AI like I could in FFXII or Tales. Going from FFXIII to FFXII, Resonance of Fate and Tales of Graces felt extremely liberating, imo.
So, is Serah going to get a garment grid and get a Gunner dressphere? Where is Snow? Taking care of the kids?

That would make the game far too easy and eliminate the tension. Besides the only punishment is having to retry that one battle, hardly a deal breaker if you died.
Dark Schala said:
There is no dress sphere system in this game. Its a sequel to XIII not X-2.
There's no reason to think Snow isn't in the game either. I fully expect all 6 characters to make an appearance in some way.
After completing FFXIII I will assume that the only people who are looking forward to this, are the people who are suffering from a FFXIII induced stockholm syndrome.
FFXIII was, and I mean this quite sincerely, and without aiming for hyperbole, easily the worst game I have played this decade, on a console.
And I love Final Fantasy games
On principal I shall give this one a miss.

The visuals look identical to the PS3 version of FFXIII to me. I don't notice any difference that others are mentioning.
I do wonder how the 360 version will perform this time. FFXIII 360 was sub-hd in game and cutscene. The framerate was also noticeably poorer in certain areas.
I tried re-hosting it, but it went purple for some reason :/

Best battle system ever!
Thank god they kept it, now if they can make improvements to the storyline and characters we're all set. Although, the 'mysterious man' (who no doubt has a tragic past) cliche is making it seem we're off to a bad start already.....

I was joking.xion4360 said:
I really loved FFX-2's battle system, even moreso than FFXIII's--I think it's ATB and Job-Switching at its finest. I know that I'll import this and then buy the English version just like I did FFXIII. I didn't enjoy FFXIII too much, but I guess I'm cautiously optimistic about this. I hope it's different in some fashion.
I hope THESE aren't in Final Fantasy XIII-2 in ANY SORT OF FORM!
Fuck those things and their Gui brothers!
But is not like previous FF games didn't had it, heck you could control each character individually on those and put one character attacking while another resurrected a dead one. All I'm asking is that if Lightning dies the other 2 characters are just not "ugh..we failed". heck, leave the party leader "dead" until the end of the battle and let me continue fighting...if the boss is really hard it will kill all characters not just the leader. ;pxion4360 said:
It kinda made the Phoenix Down relatively useless in XIII as there 's a medic usually healing everyone and the leader could use potions to heal everyone at the same time; so there was no tension per se...except in the usual big-ass with a trillion HP bosses..

Pussy, I could kill those in about a minute at the end of the game.
When I first got to Pulse one of these killed my whole party in a single stamp. It was then I vowed that some how, some way, some day I would get even and I did. It felt good damn it, GOOD!!!

They're awesome when they're dropping things left and right when you're running to plat the game. And they're good for CP, especially when they get ridiculously easy to kill.Jo Shishido's Cheeks said:
But when you go an hour or so without getting any drops and you maxed your Crystarium, killing them repeatedly to try to get Traps or Ingots for money or weapons can be mentally taxing.

The problem with the Adamantoises/Adamantortoises/Guis is that they were not actually fun to kill. It was just a rinse->repeat grinding cycle.

Serah's got Lightning's arm band thing on.
I wonder what the time difference between games is? I know it says 'a few years', but is that 2, 5, 10? Maybe Lightning trained her? That would be my guess.
I believe I remember Toriyama (or Kitase) saying some returning characters will be changed significantly, while some will only have brief appearances, and the rest are brand new characters.
Just give me more opportunities (i.e. towns, NPCs) to take in and learn more about the world, S-E! Don't go the cheap route with 'datalogs' again!
As much as I liked FFXIII, the tube-structure really damaged an otherwise gorgeously designed world (Cocoon).
