Final Fantasy XIII-2

[Tifabelle]

They really need to stop now with the whole 'Final Fantasy __-2' thing. It's stupid and doesn't even make sense. Why can't they just give it a subtitle, like they have with Versus & Agito?

Thi...this is only the second time they've done it.

I will agree that it's dumb, but then how do you distinguish a direct sequel? Especially in 13's case. Versus and Agito are NOT part of the same storyline. That's why they have subtitles - to differentiate. Is it stupid? Well, I would say that yes it is. But I don't see it as that big a deal. There are worse things. Like 358/2 Days or Duodecim 012.

Tbh, I'll get this game no matter what just to see if Lightning has more personality than a cardboard cut-out this time around.

 

[Roger]

If anyone's interested, I was able to get a screenshot cut from the trailer to give you a better look at the mystery man/enemy.

Fruitiest male FF character ever?

More than Kuja? At least this guy has pants.

At least he looks like a gay man rather than a woman.

 

[Sheva Alomar]

Ow. :'

But no, seriously, she was still lacking in the three-dimensional character department.

Not even close. O_o If you think that's the fruitiest looking male in FF, you need to play more FF games. xD

Aside from Kuja (who was actually called a woman) , THE EMPEROR IS FABULOUS.

/and I'm playing the game for this guy lol/ And I also don't see what's THAT girly about him besides his hair. His face looks pretty manly to me.

So?

Quite easily actually.

The pink headband?

 

[Super Mario]

Why did it suddenly go medieval? what happened to the ... modernized settings that XIII had? CONFUSE

 

[Tifabelle]

So?

So how can you be so upset as to say "they really need to stop now" as if they do this all the time. This is only the second time. And the first time wasn't a problem.

Quite easily actually.

XII is different than XIII though. If they give XIII-2 a subtitle, how do I know if it's a sequel to XIII or Versus or Agito? Or how do I know it's a direct sequel to any of those and not just another Versus or Agito, which have nothing to do with XIII at all?

You're implying that, not me.

First time, second time. It doesn't make it any less inane.

People are so dumb they can't distinguish one title from another now?

Go watch the English dub of the trailer, Reg.

 

[Dana Scully]

Mm, I suppose. I really liked her character as is, but I will concede that there is room for improvement.

Please, don't forget Cloud and his successful crossdressing

/and I'm playing the game for this guy lol/ And I also don't see what's THAT girly about him besides his hair. His face looks pretty manly to me.

Same here, though for me long hair doesn't mean anything (gay or not gay, I mean). I've seen plenty of long haired men (fictional and real) who were quite the skirt chasers

Spoiler

All the modern settings in the game took place inside of cocoon, which was evacuated at the end of FFXIII. They're most likely on Pulse now

Read this, it clears that up.

 

[Arianna]

*Spoilers* ~ Possibly...

Spoiler

It seems like something will happen to Etro; or, it's learned that Etro had a hand in saving Pulse and what's left of Cocoon. In the trailer, Lightning says "Sleep in peace, divine Etro."

Soooo... maybe it's not so much an alternative universe, but a separate dimension?

Well, interesting to me...

 

[LunarSkye]

It's gotta be that invisable world the novella speaks of.

Yeah, that's my impression exactly.

Spoiler

I really do wonder if we're going to have more Lindzei in the story... I actually wonder if that's the guy she's fighting

.

You'll want Snow to kill his dad to get him back into the good old mindset by the end of it, believe me.

Yeah... Sadly, Hope's mature philosophizing became really irritating.

Actually, all their philosophizing and blaming got annoying.

why don't you go see when versus is being relea--AHAHAHHAHAHA SRY I CAN'T

That's what I thought as well. I'm glad it seems like they're getting into the lore a bit more.

Just no more datalog dependency pls.

This picture makes it look like Lightning just killed a passing bird. XD

Moar lore is always awesome, but there's plenty of it to explore in the already established world ('dimension' I guess). I'm not opposed to having a second dimension explored, but it sure as hell better tie in nicely with the main one and if they don't have a good chunk of the game set in the main world I'll be pissed.

Just no more datalog dependency pls.

qfmft

I don't think so, because

Spoiler

according to the FNC lore, Lindzei was a fal'Cie, remember? Unless he uses the same trick as Barthandelus. I really hope not

My exact thoughts!
