I didn't hear any complaints in this department at all...
Right now most of the complaints seem to be centered on the ending.

The one
bad
Looks like more endings are known now but everyone got mad at that ending, whatever it was anyway (trying not to spoil it for myself)

Are the voice actors the same as in XIII? failing that Subtitles and asian voices?
Sounds like my kind of FF but god good the voice acting made me hate XIII

English and Japanese are the same as before. If you want English text with Japanese voices you have to go for the Chinese version.

But FFXIII's is not as flexible. However, since this is super-OT, we can take this to the awesome FF community thread.
And it seems like there was a second person who
had gotten that particular ending that people are bitching about.
I hope that Kagari's going to be blunt when it comes to writing impressions of the battle system and ability system, since her preview impressions are rather detailed. I don't know where her FFXIII impressions are... er, actually, I don't think I ever read them. D:
Edit: They didn't bother to make the theme dynamic either, lol.
I can't bellieve people are having argument of which game have better script. They all have rubbish script. That is like saying that dwarf is taller than that dwarf.
Having said, I would have been excited for this game if I finished FF XIII. Hopefully by this holiday break, I'll finish it.

Yes :< SE can't be bothered to design new icons apparently.
Surely the other endings won't be radically different to the one everyone is complaining about though, especially if there's going to be a sequel?

Sequel is just a speculation at this point.
Hilariously, the splash image has no Lightning in it.

So do we know if you need a completed save file to access the extra goodies? I played/finished the first game on a 360 but am getting this one for PS3. Can I just swipe the PS3 version from my bf, hit the first save point and call it a day?

At least FF8 had the Laguna's dream sequences. Now, if only the whole story was on that level...FF8 and Advent Children were such masterpieces of script. Amirite?
It is beginning to appear you
Also, people are saying there are
paradox endings. Is this an official source on this?
need to resolve more anomalies to see more of the ending...like the developers mentioned I believe?
People are seeing variations on the final battle with Lightning joining you in the fight and Sazh making an appearance. They are still getting the 'bad' ending though. Speculations are that you need to chose the right live triggers events and collect more fragments.

8

major spoilers!
iirc
xiii's save file is not locked
so u can just copy the file over even
no idea about goodies
major spoilers!
i think it's the one that unlocks the true ending trophy
u don't even rescue fang/vanille in this game?
it's to save lightning, who didn't even need saving in the first place, at the end of xiii?
lightning becomes etro?
xiii-3 gonna be about reviving serah (hey remember fang/vanille?)?
caius summoning kindom hearts?
who's gonna get tanaka-ed when/if this game underperforms

Jiggle, there is no true ending trophy.
Also about that ending, as someone well versed in the FF13 mythology, that ending is essentially
Also about that ending, as someone well versed in the FF13 mythology, that ending is essentially
the end of the world and what would have happened if the team did not prevent Cocoon's fall in 13. There is no way to change it. If Etro dies, then chaos from the invisible realm engulfs the real world and all life ends. Etro is the one that portions out chaos to the living in order to keep this delicate balance from destroying everything. Lindzei and Bubi do not know this, since Bubi blames his mother Muin for the chaos when in fact chaos is a part of the necessary balance for all life. There can be no sequel. The world is dead. I believe Lightning even tells Serah that one world she visits is a world where they failed. I wager that after this ending, Noel goes back to change the past yet again and that is what new game + is all about

Ending spoilers discussion, GET AWAY or THUNDAGA or something.
I figured you needed more fragments and make certain decisions, hence "Time Reversal Possible!". That's why teakdoc is going out of his way to get as many fragments as he can, it seems. Either that, or he's just a completionist.
As for your second point, I have no idea, lol. That bit was news to me!
You can use any PS3 save file by copying it and it will recognize it. I tested this
It also recognized my US save despite it being the Japanese version of XIII-2... Any partial save file will work, actually. So yes... in effect you can play to the first save point in XIII and use that.As far as bonuses, so far I've gotten the XMB theme but you also get an item that gives you more luck in the casino and accessory items for your monster allies. I haven't seen anything else yet.

For some people, yes, since people on GAF haven't gone through the game yet. It's different in the case for, for example, 999 because that stuff is visible to you from the beginning.Is the potential number of paradox endings really a spoiler?
I treated it the same way as "how many dungeons there are in SS" because even that was/is considered a spoiler in the OT. I think even in the CT ER thread, the number of endings would probably still be considered a spoiler for those who haven't played the game yet. With GAF, it's better to be safe rather than sorry. I don't like seeing people banned or warned for the little things, you know? Especially if they contribute meaningful conversation pieces.
Well...ULTROS! said:
I thought the Bad End content was kinda interesting, just because what happened in it was pretty batshit and somewhat unexpected.
But the dialogue is meh... and we all know that Toriyama + time travel = not necessarily a good thing.
Gotcha. Will spoiler tag the info to be sure.

Oh, one thing. Are towns considered safe zones or are infested by monsters?
Thanks
For someone who has FFXIII PS3 but haven't put that much time into it, would getting FFXIII-2 U.S. version be a good idea or more of a 'wait until it's at a lower price' sort of deal?
I also hope the U.S. version has the same free XMB theme too.
I don't imagine the story will be that different from the Japanese counterpart, but you never know.

In the title menu you can watch an entire recap of the first game.

You going to give impressions today, or on your site?
Datalog screenshot confirms this (sort of).
Don't be so ardently quick to defend the game though, not until all details are out.
Just wait for lower price, since prices drop quick nowadays.Apdiddy said:
Woo!! I wonder if they do a better job of explaining the events of the first game than FFXIII actually did as we played along.

Am I the only one getting the NA CE?
Sure, the artbook could've been bigger, and wish we got the art cards and stuff the EU is getting, still looks nice.
The only thing that worries me is how the discs come. Paper sleeves will seem mega cheap to me.

I'm getting the CE. I'm also worried about how the discs come... I hope there is a standard game case in that CE packaging somewhere.

"Watch"? So it's a video recap? I though there was only only a text-recap.
