Final Fantasy XIII-2

[Max Payne]

That's just so bizarre.

 

[Tifaeria]

Wow, so much love for Serah and her use of a bow. Why is it so important that she MUST use a bow? Is it because of her personality? How weak she is? I dunno, I have no idea but all this insistence on her using a bow is weird to me.

I also can't believe there's so much Serah love. I mean I love you guys and you can love whoever you want, but I just don't understand. Probably because Serah wasn't that developed in XIII for me to love as much as you guys. I can see why Square wanted to put her in the spotlight since she got barely no development, but as a fighter? idk idk, it's still weird to me. I'm glad you guys are happy but I just can't see it you know? What kills me is that they are using the same model and docile personality as shown in XIII and they are pushing hard to tell us that she is physically stronger and a warrior. It's like two different Serah's in this game. OK I'm done ranting, you guys can go back to squeeing. I'll just wait until the game comes out if I want to judge anymore.

I just really really hope it's not like X-2 and we just see little cameo's of everybody while watching a new and improved Yuna.

Besides all that, I'm excited that we are getting towns again! I didn't mind it being linear, but having no choice of talking to townspeople or exploring areas were depressing, especially since we couldn't do anything in the theme park! I hope they have another area like that that we can explore this time.

You are right in having no love for the cardboard cutout character that is Serah.

Anyway, it's important to move past this self important bullshit, so I'll try to start a new discussion.

Is it me or do noel's animations look very kingdom hearts esque? Especially his run animation.

My first thought when I saw him in the teaser was Sora. :S

More videos~

Cutscene footage, possible spoilers and all that jazz

Serah was pointing at the sky and said she could see Pulse. Does that mean there's a world below Pulse?

Anyway, I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. Still wanna know where Snow is, though.

 

[Tetsujin]

Serah was pointing at the sky and said she could see Pulse. Does that mean there's a world below Pulse?

She said "This is Coccoon."
They're looking at Pulse from Coccoon.

 

[Roger]

They say they're on Cocoon. This must be some time after Fang/Ragnarok cracked Cocoons shell for them to see Pulse from a town in Cocoon. Cause Cocoon is like Halo, as a complete sphere, the habitable side is on the inside.

 

[OneWingedDemon]

Pretty much bb.
I don't get how people like Serah either. It's like people saying their fave character is Noctis. What exactly has she done?

 

[LunarSkye]

She said "This is Coccoon."
They're looking at Pulse from Coccoon.

Ohhhhh.

 

[Tetsujin]

It'd look nice on my wall.

 

[Super Mario]

Hopefully this is alright to post here

I wanna get this. It looks nice

Soooooo pretty....







I don't care who bashes Serah, she's still the cutest thing I've seen in a long ass time.

 

[Sheva Alomar]

I'm sorry, I don't think she's cute, either. Her hair came from the bad part of the 1980's and her general looks are average.

 

[Super Mario]

Haters gonna hate, adri. I respect that anyway~

WANT

 

[Alex Strife]

As I said, this is FFXIII-Unused material. I see LOTS of things here they probably scrapped from the original game.

 

[Arianna]

Yes, he looks quite Kingdom-Hearts, but maybe it's like Tifabelle said, that it's the Terra-like pants.

He looks sort of like an older Sora to me; and, I felt he was based a lot on Kingdom Heart from the start.

Spoiler: FFXIII-2 poster

Pretty.

I'd get it, but only for the half with Lightning.

Hot damn she is fine.

And you can't really see her stupid ass feathers in it either, which makes it that much more awesome.

 

[Arianna]

Please forgive me if I state anything that's already been discussed and is now explained. I was at school for the past few hours...

TOWNS FUCK YEAH AND WEATHER

If there's weather, and it's not in the past, then that would mean that some of the fal'Cie in Cocoon are still alive and kicking.

EDIT: And, it's in the past...

 

[DrakeClawfang]

15 minutes of gameplay footage, but watch it muted. The two guys commenting in the vid are have the combined brainpower of a slug. By the time the vid is done, you will want to hit them.

"I've already played this game, it's called Final Fantasy XIII. It's the same game!"

"So you can win just be pressing a button?" (he then fails to press said button and gets bitchslapped by the enemy)

"I think this is a town but I'm not sure."

"Is this our map?" "Who cares, it's not as linear as the first game"

"Oh and look at this, you hit circle and you jump. I repeat, jumping is now in the game."

"Wait, what is this? Oh my god it's a branching path!"

 

[Arianna]

The game needs more Sazh. He was awesome.
He had a personality that just felt kinda "real".
As opposed to morons like Snow.

I agree. I want Sazh in the game too.

Even though Snow was annoying with his 'I'm a hero' bragging...

I'll be a bit sad if he's not in the game.

 

[Tennyo]

I'd get it, but only for the half with Lightning.

Hot damn she is fine.

Quoted for truth.

Spoiler: Official Lightning wallpaper

Spoiler: Noel CG

"A young man wielding two unique blades who appears before Serah. Melee is this fighter's combat style of choice. His dual-wielding method demonstrates an expert technique, which includes combining his swords into one new weapon. Although straightforward and cheerful, no one knows much about his past, or how he stumbled across Serah in her time of distress."

 

[Max Payne]

Isn't the Lightning wall old?

EDIT:

omg that sword looks awful

 

[Arianna]

I want to know details about the story. We got the game play and such, now tell us about the story!

Blog post with some details we already knew and other stuff: https://member.eu.square-enix.com/en/blogs/hands-final-fantasy-xiii-2-exclusive-details-revealed ... Didn't know if it'd be worth posting or not but eh figured I would anyway

Thank you!

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

I really only have one thing to say.

Noel looks like Squall and Yuna's lovechild.

that was my useless 2 cents

 

[Tifabelle]

I'm confused. Some people are saying the game is in the past and others are saying it's post-FFXIII. What is the answer here? I was under the impression it takes place after FFXIII.
