Played demo, changed paradigm to War and peace spammed X, finished the first fight, deleted demo, would not surprise me if you could beat the entire game like that so I just saved myself £40 I wasn't gonna spend on the game in the first place...
 
all i have to say is i will never buy another final fantasy game again. they've obviously done something wrong to make me feel this way and have abandoned their true fans. end of topic.
 
Early Famitsu leaks brings us news about the upcoming Lightning colosseum battle for Final Fantasy XIII-2 Square Enix teased in December. Just like Omega, players will be able to fight Lightning, dressed in her Final Fantasy XIII outfit. Win and you can add Lightning to your party. Other classic monsters will appear in the colosseum as downloadable content.

 

An interview also reveals players will be able to get an episode with a new storyline focused on Lightning that reveals the hidden truth behind the game’s endings.

 

Square Enix is also interested in continuing the Final Fantasy XIII-2 storyline with scenarios for Sazh, Dajh (his son), and Chocolina (the time-traveling merchant). The format for these side-stories has not been decided. Two options mentioned in the interview are more DLC episodes and novels.

News is... it isn't lookin' good!

Sadly with FF Series is going the same as Call of Duty and Resident Evil, they explode the serie with **** games for the only purpose to make more money because they know that fans buy these games no matter how bad they are, this game only have graphic and awesome CGI, but the gameplay and the story and how the game led by, make this game horrible, the pages "specialized" in reviews, the majority are paid to give a good review, Sadly the fans are guilty of creating these types of games, they are the ones who give money to companies so that users would continue taking money from the pockets, to create more games that are just as bad or worse the predecessor, the FF series ended after FFX, FFXII is a horrible Game, even I do not know as there are some people who like this game, I hope that Final Fantasy Versus XIII is better than these, or will be forced to reset the saga as happened with several games and I hope that Capcom and Activision do the same with Resident Evil and Call of Duty, Call of Duty especially with that please do not make anymore ;D. Sorry Square,but for some long, long time are they doing bad games, and YES PLEASE MAKE KINGDOM HEART 3, AND STOP MAKING THIS **** GAMES, sorry FFXII Fans but STOP BUYING THIS **** GAME

The game is actually fucking brilliant. I've been glued to my PS3 all weekend. I'm shocked at how much I'm enjoying it.

All the side quests and mini games are fun, the NPC's are back (and there are more than ever, it really gives each town a great ambience), Live Trigger let's you ask the questions you actually WANT to ask, theres a shit load of optional stuff to do, and the story is actually very coherent and makes a lot of sense. The levelling system is completely user controlled and the monster levelling system is engrossing. I've read a few reviews that complain about the story, but I honestly can't see how.

The VA's are stellar and the story - while slightly impeded by that fact that you can jump to different times ahead of when you're logically supposed to - is actually really good (so far).

In addition to that, it's beautiful and I can't wait to get home from uni and play it till I fall asleep. I've clocked almost 20 hours so far and I'm only about 1/5th of the way through the story, because I've been exploring and doing optional things and side-quests.

It once again feels like a Final Fantasy game, and is hands down the best JRPG I've played since X.

I haven't completed it yet, so if anyone is going to post spoilers could you please post a warning? I'm sure others would appreciate it too.

EDIT: Also wanted to add that Noel is one of the best characters in FF history. I thought I would hate him, but he is a traditional FF hero (slightly stoic, good guy, helps the helpless but not in an "I'm such a hero" annoying way) in addition to me actually caring about his character. I can honestly say I didn't connect with the characters in XIII as much as him. Also his VA is amazing.

I dislike the fact that the ending

SPOILER ALERT

Has a "To be continued" tag.

I hated how depressing it was... even after all that. It sucks, I became attached to the characters damnit.
 
Just loaded my save file up, and Fang did the recap. I was amazed xD

Yeah I've been saying that I've finished 500AF....it was actually 200 lol.
 
For whoever is still on the fence here is a quote from gabe over at penny arcade:

If you liked FF XIII then the sequel is even better and you should go get it right now. If you hated the previous game you’ll find nothing to like about XIII-2.

I actually disagree with that. The only thing similar to XIII is the battle system, and even that's been refined.
 
Chocolina is amazing. She has to be one of the best characters ever xDD
 
I'm enjoying this game so far, played & finished ff13 completely. The only thing I miss about ff13 is, (more playable characters) I mean like main party, not monsters :p.
And weapon upgrading system :(. About 7 hours played so far, and at 200AF.
The best parts of FF13-2 for me:
No limits on crystarium I think?
Able to change leader at will.
Tons of monsters to get to party.
Able to travel through time back & forth (Reminds me of Chrone Trigger) :D

The crystarium is limited to lv.99 per role. It's still a great system though.

Completed it last night. Got ~151 fragments, just got to get the paradox endings and that stupid 7777 casino coins fragment from Serendipity. Since I've got tons of gil, I'm tempted to just buy all the coins I need and sit and pull the lever for a few hours. Scary beeswax.

This guy has no idea.... XIII-2 is nothing like XIII.

I'm about 22 hours into XIII-2 now, and its actually pretty darn great.
 
Yeah I completed it on Thursday. Thought it was awesome. The ending is a real shock.
 
Still has auto battle though, so fuck that, they took the mash x to win joke a bit to seriously with that.
