 . A shame they recycled all the fight mechanics of end game monster of XIII. Yomi for example was so much easier because I knew what to do.I also made the terrible mistake of not resisting the temptation of building an "ultimate chichu" monster which made all those fight a lot easier than they should have been. But all in all, it was a good game, story was cool, exploration I felt was well done and I love the combat system. I'd even welcome a FF XIII - 3 (because all hope seems lost for versus 13...) | ||

But! I always value games that lasts for many hours (talking about games with 100h+ content) and after you do everything possible in them, you still just want MORE! FF XIII-2 fits to this definition in 100%, so if anyone liked at least a little FF XIII, should give this sequel a try, because its just better. (and i must say that I had to start FF XIII three times before i actually finished it because its god damn boring and easy for the first 20h  - not mentioning character drama)I really like what they did to characters - Noel is quite OK guy. Hope in the sequel is at least acceptable;P And I love ending with Snow - damn! It fits this character in 100%  The battle system from XIII is working really well. Gives a lot of customization and opens multiple ways to beat the game. Only if fights would be a bit more challenging. I mean, why do we have that "paradigm switch'es", and all the stuff connected to it (did anyone of you use syn or sab monster during fights?), if most of the game you just rush with com/com/com (and sometimes add rav/rav/rav). Anyway, FF XIII-2 (and XIII) is one of the best polished game this times. You will NOT encounter ANY bug, glitch or whatever. Graphic quality is on really high standards. I really look forward for XIII-3, and I wonder what kind of DLC they will release for XIII-2 (Curse them, if it will only be some new outfits and shiny axes!) | ||

I actually had to switch between rav/rav/rav and com/com/com (with initial syn/med/sen for buffs, but im sure its not really important). So, all in all, the difficulty was comparable with game-ending fights (not like they are hard or smth;P). I dont know if that encounter is scalable with level/game progress. dont think, I wasnt about 15 hr of play and got wiped as soon as the second guy came in | ||

Aside from the story, I felt the gameplay was more solid all-around. The battle system was revamped with the addition of monsters, and actually letting us use a strategy with our paradigms. The addition of the historia crux makes it a lot easier to navigate from area to area (which was a huge improvement from the linearity of XIII) Also, the music really made playing the game much more of a fun experience. In essence, I liked everything about the game except the story, but that's just my 2 cents. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Almost didn't believe I was at the final boss since it was only 20 hours into my save file. I remember it taking 40 hours to beat the original FF13. What an ending, I sort of expected it to occur but it left me sort of feeling the same way when Aerith first died :/. Fuck this kind of makes me sad, with the ambiguous ending for Lightning and Serah not being there anymore. I wonder wtf they have planned for 13-3. So glad they made this a trilogy though, love the FF13 universe. Well, time for 60 hours of post-game trophy hunting! Game was everything I expected it to be when I heard about the improvements they were making from the original 13. Really fun game that had me captivated from start to finish, definitely feel like it was 3x better than 13 as well. Biggest surprise was how likeable Noel was, and Serah was great too. | ||

Hate the new crystadium(sp?) though. And the lack of party rotation will likely be annoying later on. But right now this game seems better at everything than its predecessor. | ||

Game was a solid 7/10 for me, because it sure felt like I was playing a game, but everything from the story to the combat was SO shallow. AND WTF: + Show Spoiler + NO EIDOLONS?!?!?! | ||

I like fighting monsters. I don't like searching a huge city with lots of side alleys for an invisible (well blurry) man to answer silly questions ... | ||

I did not expect that to happen and will be looking forward to the sequel if there was one. I mean I havent been this WTF about a Final fantasy ending since 10. I am safe to say I am glad I bought the game. You were "wtf" at FFX's ending?! I thought FFX's ending while sad made complete sense | ||
