Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Mac Arrowny) Final Fantasy XIII-2 is an interesting experience because a lot of it is an extreme overreaction to the criticisms lobbed at FFXIII. It tries to fix many of the major complaints with varying degrees of success. In particular, they tried to do a better job of having real towns and NPCs, two things the original largely lacked. Of course, I liked FFXIII quite a bit as is (list spoilers), so it wasn't necessary for me to have them change so much. Perhaps the most pleasant surprise in FFXIII-2 was how much I liked Serah. I thought she was nothing special in the first game, but I really enjoyed what they did with her here. She's just a really likable lead, and I found myself rooting for her despite the fact that those closest to her were kinda dumb. I mean, despite the fact that I do like him a good bit, I expect Snow to do dumb things, so that's nothing new, although I did enjoy his role in the game. This is also where the deification of Lightning began, and I did not particularly enjoy that. The worst offender here is Noel though. I just didn't like him at all, and that's bad news for me because it's hard for me to get attached to a game if I don't enjoy the main characters. Caius was whatever, too, but putting up with a whatever villain is a lot easier for me. The battle system is mostly the same, although it's slightly less enjoyable because all the monster capturing stuff does nothing for me. I'd rather just have a real character in that third slot. That being said, it's still pretty fun, so it's not like that was a deal breaker or anything. I enjoyed the plot and the setting. Time travel stories are usually interesting for me, especially since they tend to be wild and crazy, even if they don't totally make sense. I thought the various environments were pretty cool, whether it was revisiting some familiar locations in new circumstances and points in time or just visiting the same places in different timelines to see what had changed. It's always cool to see the repercussions of your choices when it comes to time travel plots. I still need to finish Final Fantasy XIII-2 one of these days so I can complete the trilogy at long last. I don't even remember why I stopped playing. It wasn't because I disliked it. I guess I got distracted by something else and just didn't go back to it. I think I'm pretty close to the end, too. Hopefully, I won't need to start over because I can't keep everything straight in my mind, but it has been a while, so who knows!
