Final Fantasy XIII-2

Check with the local KFC.

o_O
Don't say stuff like that


Also, 'tis getting closer to the day when I sadly have to leave this thread in fear of spoilers It's been a good ride, guys, but as the game is due in friggin February here, someone here probably has finished it way by then. (Some of you were getting the import, right? At least hito? Will you be posting here? Or I guess ppl will be able to find stuff online from Japanese gamers and post them.) I don't want spoilers

 

[Tetsujin]

I'd be all for a separate spoiler thread.

 

[Strangelove]

I don't know if I will be importing straight away the way things are going, but I would say we follow the tradition from FFXIII's threads and have a separate one for spoilers, leaving this one for those who are waiting. If spoilers are to be posted in this thread, they will have to be spoiler-tagged. Otherwise you're bad people.

HNNNNG DAT MENU. Downloadable content. Yes.

Here's hoping for a playable Hope DLC.

 

[ForceStealer]

That is totally the Force Stealer and it makes me happy every time I see it.

Wow! I never thought of that. It does look very much like the ForceStealer!

Why is it that cactuars always make me think of plushies? It's like they're possessed plushies.

Sami showed me this but I've not got th e chance to do much with it except some of these creator comments that sound interesting:

- Valhalla was mentioned in the first game?
- Lightning's armour was created by Etro and has some kind of special power
- It's different from the other equipment or summons that we've had before

I don't remember this Valhalla thing in FFXIII, need to get replaying it again.

Hmm, this intrigues me. And I'm in the same boat, Hito, I recently started another play through. Just started Chapter 2.

 

[Super Mario]

Man I just love both the songs they have for jp and english for this game. :' ) Charice rocks for this piece, glad they got her for this.

I know that they talked about the invisible world, but never heard them mention Valhalla >_____> *needs to finish my second playthrough*

 

[Arianna]

Does anyone know if the items for getting the music CDs are good for all players, or just for Japan??? (I'm talking about the downloadable items that give you more gil, rare items, etc.)

Valhalla was not mentioned by name in the original game, at least not in the English version. We only got the words 'unseen world.'

EDIT: Or 'invisible world.'

Spoilers ofc, but posting for those that are curious and/or wanna watch

AAAAA why am I watching this, I'm so weak when it comes to spoilers ;____;

I always tell myself I won't but I'm too easily tempted.

EDIT: Is it just me or one of Serah's idle animations, the one hand on hip thing, exactly the same as her sister?

 

[Splintered]

You and me both ;__;

I CAN'T HELP IT... I regret nothing.

WE ARE TERRIBLE PEOPLE BUT look at those polished rocks

Non spoilery things

> People calling Serah sensei. She still looks so young to me so it's weird

> Gil after battle, I know old info but still makes me happy

> Mog Clock looks annoying, there was one battle she had trouble hitting the enemy. But it looks like they changed it from giving you debuffs if you fail to hit them to... something else.

> Actually, random encounters seem to pop up pretty frequently.

 

[Zee]

not rly spoilers since we saw her already but

>hears "lebreau" something something
>ears perk up WHAT IS IT ARE WE GONNA SEE HER WHEN

There's a decent amount of Team Nora so far, isn't there? I hope they keep it up, they were such a non entity in the previous game.

 

[Zee]

For some reason I feel like Noel's English voice suits him better idk?? Like his Japanese voice is really....deep and it doesn't match his face @_@

The music is really good though damn.

Spoiler

LEBREAU BB

also lol that dude is always up in noel's grill

 

[Splintered]

Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts.

The haters though, lol guess they got nothing better to do.

Spoiler

ALSO ALSO when Serah said Lebreau's name I was just OMG LET ME CRY.

I hope they keep it up with Team Nora too.

Also Noel is really growing on me?? Is that weird to say since it's in Japanese? lol. I love the battles and the music fits so well with everything too.

I love the exploration. Uguuu.

Noel seems straightforward. Little BS, here's the plot, I got shit to do bros, get behind me. Gadot seems pissed, probably because he knows he will be screwed for screentime because he isn't pretty.

Imma going to try and screenshot this bitch

Spoiler

>Noel explaining shit to Nora

Livetrigger for random convos

Serah's students
Nice to see they don't immediately leave New Bohdum for the plot

 

[Zee]

Spoiler

serah's arrow crystarium is badass
also the idle moogle animation is cute


and


livetrigger lebreau

[Zee]

[Strangelove]
