If you check out the other person on the logo with Lightning who she had a clash with in the Trailer, she strikes a great deal of resemblence to the "boss" that the main character fights towards the end of the trailer..

Does anybody else think so?

Oh damn lightning looks so baller. I really need to finish off 13... Can't wait for this hopefully theirs a bit more freedom but I doubt it considering how close the release dates are they were probably making this at the same time or straight after.

Going to be a buy for sure tho and will enjoy it even if it plays just like ff13, although its better when its let linear

my inner final-fantasy fanboy wants me to get this game (the end of the trailer looks so epic >.<), but I have a feeling that FFXIII - 2 will just lead to a massive disappointment =\

Hell yea XIII-2. I had high hopes for 13 and got let down so I'm going into this one with zero expectations.

The English trailer is also out. I'm super pumped for this actually. I loved FFXIII.

Square Enix Europe has said that the game "exceeds Final Fantasy XIII in every aspect", with its every aspect being evolved including the battle system.

I've never been so disappointed in a game in my life (ff13). I honestly don't see how any respectable gamer would want to play the sequel.

I think it's fair to say it's a good game that simply features design choices that people either love or hate.

See, this is what I don't get...

people assume that linearity is a bad thing. They fail to realize the linearity of the entire FF series.

FF 1, basically linear path, there really wasn't much option to roam, and what little there was normally brought on nothing but death.
FF 2, roam all you want, but you'll die quick if you wander into the wrong zone
FF 3, move from one plot point to another in a fairly linear path...
FF 4-12 (minus 11) and FFT were all rather linear games. There was very little room for branching and wandering/exploration. Maybe FF13 was a bit railroad-ish, but it wasn't the only game to be linear, and Gran Pulse was quite open, if insanely difficult when you first get there.

Most RPGs railroad you into going to certain places, at certain times, and have ways and means of stopping you from exploring much, if at all... FF13 was just a little bit more blatant about it.

Combat was still fun, and one of the best they've yet done. The plot wasn't exactly bad either, so I don't understand the hatred for the game.

The internet raged over FF12 as well, which is a brilliant game too. It's just a tradition that people get pissed about every new FF not being like the one they played before.

What Lightning says in the trailer leads me to believe she'll be the only proper returning character. The others might make "cameos" but I imagine she'll be the sole focus of this game.

FFXIII had it's problems but I still loved it, the combat system was amazing if you chose to explore it a little (and not just spam auto for the whole game).

Lighting was really the only character I actually want to see again so I'm down.
