Wandererster Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Here's famitsu's review. Famitsu released many new details of Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIII-2, which received a perfect 40/40 review score: The length of main story is about 40 hours The game will take 100+ hours to finish if you go though all the side quests and mini games There are no corridor type straight paths in the game The story is engaging right at the start, and easy to under even if you haven't played the first game The party always consists of Noel, Serah and monsters The battles will require the use of strategies to win Beginners and light users can switch to Easy Mode for easier battles The game has multiple endings, which makes you want to replay the game You can always revisit areas you've cleared and find new things or events Raising monsters and battle with monsters are fun The differences between CG cutscene and realtime rendered scene are not high Switching paradigms and monsters make the battles more interesting There are many mini games This one reminds me from another game. http://i.imgur.com/QiPvK.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FurryMcMemes Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 So 13-2 sounds like they fixed the majority of flaws in 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most games like Japanese RPGs come from Japan... not trying to be facetious here but if you think about it, it makes perfect sense... There is a translation that takes time and usually takes a lot longer in some cases... I remember not getting any games at all or waiting a year or two to get a game from Japan... now days its actually a faster process... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I keep playing FF13 until they release FF13X 2? because I need to beat the game before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandererster Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 New DLC. Square Enix released first screenshots of the DLC boss monster Omega, it is more powerful than the final boss, but once you defeated it, you can obtain its crystal and use it as a monster in your party. Amodar from the first game (superior of Lightning) will return, he shows up periodically and provide you with quiz questions, if you answer them right, something good will happen. http://i.imgur.com/F9KRl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"TRY" being the key word in that sentence... Looking at the trophies you still need you should be able to get the platinum, as they are all doable, but the Treasure Hunter trophy will be troublesome. If you decide to go back for the platinum, this guide for the Treasure Hunter trophy should help: http://www.gamefaqs....xiii/faqs/59331 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScreechingOwl Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 for some reason, even after using a guide, i couldn't beat Orphan with 5 stars Lightning, Fang, Hope. Stagger as quickly as possible with Rav/Rav/Rav. Once staggered, switch to Com/Com/Com and pummel him until he is beaten. You need to do it in one stagger though. Also, you could use Lightning's Army of One to bring the stagger up before switching to Com/Com/Com if struggling. And remember it's only the last (third) fight you need the five star, the previous two don't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posts like this make absolutely no sence...until you actually start playing the Final Fantasy game... Then everything is academic. It's always been like that...you're part of an exclusive club once you've played the game...can FF-Speak so to say. Nevertheless...my whole inquiring question: better than FF V or worse...not counting the eyecandy, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless...my whole inquiring question: better than FF V or worse...not counting the eyecandy, of course. I completely understand what you mean by FF-Speak, I'm the same with Skyrim. I couldn't tell you if it's better than FF V as XIII is the only Final Fantasy I've played. I don't know how the series passed me by for so long, it was only when I joined gaming forums did I really become aware of the series. The main criticism was that it was too linear, but I don't remember ever having a problem with that. Even if it isn't better than V, it's a Final Fantasy game, so you know it has good pedigree.
