Board 8 > FFXIII-2 is a great game.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Maybe it was because I had really low expectations going into it, but I haven't been that sucked into an RPG since FFX. And I'm one of the guys that loved XII!

I mean, yes, the writing is abysmal, but the characters are pretty good and something about the story is just compelling enough to keep your interest.

I was incredibly disappointed in XIII, but this game has managed to even make me think about giving it another playthrough.

"If you change the future, you change the past."

Heh.

Yeah, the story is just atrocious, but it's still a fun game.

Pretty fun. Kinda broken with the monster stuff because there are definitively top tier monsters, but gameplay as a whole feels better than XIII.

Terrible story and characters, though. Super bad.

The monster thing was pretty cool, though yeah, I could see it being incredibly broken if I actually went into it. Once I got my Chocobo, that was it.

I liked the characters, though. Serah doesn't do much, but Noel was pretty good. Caius was okay, too. Hope is bearable, Alyssa is cute, and you can never go wrong with more Lightning!

And the plot had my rolling my eyes all the way to the end, but that ending had me wanting more. I was pretty surprised.

Chocobos have the best stats, another monster gets the better abilities. It's always Chocobo, random monster with better abilities, or DLC character at the top.

edwardsdv and swordz9 are basically the comedy heel tag team of this topic, why would people be taking them seriously?

Someone tell me when Fang becomes a DLC character and I'll play this game.

when? >_>

i complain a lot about XIII, and i might have laughed at XIII-2's writing, but that's about it!

it's kind of a bummer that the DLC so far is just battles and nothing of major consequence (though i guess the characters you get from them are cool), but the recently announced Lightning/Caius story DLC has me interested! too bad i don't actually own the game.

also jihl DLC next week aww yeah

FFXIII-2 is pretty fun, yeah. Not as good as XIII though!

Writing complaints are pretty justified but even that has its strong points.

Yep, it really is an overall improvement to the Final Fantasy series in the past 10 years.
