Here's Everything You Need to Know About Final Fantasy XIII-2

Jesus Christ. Put it out of it's misery already.

When a feature of a game is "towns with npcs you can talk to" you know you fucked up.

'Smash hit' might be a little over generous.

And good, the one thing final fantasy was missing was quick time events.

I can't even suffer through this...

Final Fantasy art design has far surpassed Rococo indulgence. Yes, welcome to half a decade ago, but I'd go back further to prefer the sprites abstraction.

I waited to buy 13. Got it for $16 and still felt it wasnt even worth that. This looks even worse. It's not even about having towns or NPCs to talk to. It's about unique characters. All of them feel the same to me. XII just infuriated me. I could give two about XI or XIV, don't want an MMO experience. They have strayed so far from what the games used to be.

They will learn the harsh was, the same way that Sony (the whole corporation) learned, that your name will only hold value for so long if people don't feel they are getting what they paid for.

Man, I sure do hate Final Fantasy.

I dunno, I liked 13, and this looks better.

Paradigms ruined FF for me. The battle system seemed like, "pick a strategy type then we'll fight the battle for you." All I felt like I was doing was switching between paradigms then using the auto action BS. I didn't feel like choosing my spells would have helped or done anything extra. It was almost like the entire game was just watching a movie. I didn't even finish it. I got to Gran Pulse and just decided I was done with the FF series forever. This series has lost what made it great and I doubt we'll ever see another FF game that can compare to 6-9 ever again. btw fuck Patrick for saying 10 was better then 9. 10 was the beginning of the end for this series.

I liked it... strange I know. But there's no bullshit CGI, no glossing over the actual game parts of the game. Just the facts. That's what I want, that's what I got.

I love the description for this video "This is my voice. I am talking to you with it" lmfao! they should of got a girl's voice for this that would of be better : )

"I am listing the features of this game by reading a press release out loud. These features are standard fixtures in most modern role-playing games, but they are the primary selling points of this game. We worked hard on it. Please buy it. "
 
It does look better than FFXIII, which pretty much played itself. But that's a rather low bar. And whose BRILLIANT idea was it to include QTEs?

@ZeekDaGeek said:

Is this a game trailer or are you pitching a game to me?

what do you think trailers are?

@Nomin: Absolutely. Nothing in Final Fantasy means anything anymore. I don't think I've played any game as spectacularly EMPTY as FFXIII. Back in Square's heyday, the simplicity allowed them to highlight small details.

I don't think I've seen any posts by the FFXIII apologists that highlight the game's strengths. Those of us who are over FF have been able to systematically detail our gripes. Lack of identifiable and interesting characters. Lack of customization (all characters end up the same). Repetitive battles. Lack of interesting antagonist. Boring story (seriously, do any of us REALLY remember the convoluted plot?).

And of course we get friggin willing-victim-of-statutory-rape Serah because Lightning is such a withered old crone.

But......I'll still defend FFXII as a flawed masterpiece dammit. If it wasn't for Vaan and the compromised vision, it would have been better.

Yup that guy read off the script he was handed.

Are you ready to ride this chocobo?
