Final Fantasy XIII-2

[Super Mario]

Gladly accepted.

 

[Guts]

We'd like to make another game to expand on Lightning!

Game has nothing to do with her in a leading role.

Fffff.

 

[Glaurung]

Rygdea & Bartholomew: The creation of a provisional government, and the secret history of the founding of the Academy.

So, Rygdea is alive and well! *squeals*

 

[Glaurung]

But still, no translations on the Lost Report videos

 

[Ghost X]

Ummm...Are those chocobo floppy bunny ears?

 

[Lumina]

I'm sorry I just laughed at the chocobos xDDDDD

 

[Tifabelle]

ok this is crucial -

will I be able to race a purple chocobo?

 

[Celes Chere]

God that first chocobo is fucking scary.

 

[Strangelove]

Is there somewhere that's compiled all the stuff about this together without reading 100s of pages of thread? I've missed so much and now there's names and books and videos and chocobo racing.

I'll probably just end up reading this later anyway so never mind

 

[Guts]

Ain't nothing like actualy playing a game instead of reading about it second hand. More to experience yourself, right? Unless you're bent on not getting it, totally understandable after XIII.

 

[Strangelove]

I meant the news on it. I didn't think it was released yet?

But since Type-0 seems to have come out and I knew nothing about it, it wouldn't surprise me If it's out then ignore me and I'll wait until I can get it like Type-0.

You. You don't belong here. Get out.



To sum up XIII-2 very shortly -

Spoiler

it's going to be less linear, more mini-games and puzzles. Most characters from XIII returns, though most likely not as playable characters (save for Serah and Lightning). The game has a time element (like Chrono Trigger) and the new protagonist, Noel, is from the future Cocoon. Random encounters is replaced with a Mog Clock. You can recruit monsters. The battle system is pretty much the same. You now get Gil for fights. Not sure if there is a Crystarium this time. Oh and Hope is 24.

Think that sums it up.

The quickest way is going to the FFwikia.

Spoiler: NA cover released (Big image)

SAUCE (Here's also the Xbox360 one, but I cba to spam you with so many big pictures).

 

[Splintered]

Why Squeenix,do you put Lightning's image on the cover when she's only playable, for like, 10% of the game?

Why do you do these terrible things to me and raise my hopes?

 

[Glaurung]

^My feelings exactly

 

[Lumina]

excuse my lack of enthusiasm but I saw this coming. I am bleh about this (my copy's) cover xD. Why they are making them so simple T_T

 

[Guts]

So long as it doesn't have Noel's derpy ass face all over it I'll take anything.

 

[Tennyo]

Is it just me or does Lightning look blonde in that pic instead of pink-haired?

That's the only thing they left. I would've died if they did.

 

[Glaurung]

Well, she looks blonde at some points of FFXIII, so yeah, it wouldn't surprise me (I still see her hair pink, however )

 

[Tennyo]

That's actually sounding very cool.

 

[Fangu]

Lightnings new toy figure. Hadn't seen it before. It looks cool - interesting weapon. I have the toy from the first game, so it would be weird to have this one too... I mean... two Lightnings?

Haha, just found this. Not quite diggin' the hair style...

Sounds like a good time, you ask me.

Yes, there is a Crystarium in XIII-2; but, it will be different from the original game's version.

The characters who are not main characters but who were in the original game will most likely be non-playable guests. Like Hope.

Honestly, it looks like as the game progresses, both Lightning and Serah's hair starts to change color. They get streaks of silver/grey/white/blonde/whichever-it-will-be. Interesting.
