Final Fantasy XIII-2 reviews

Everything that was considered a fault in FFXIII had been changed/removed and thus made this a great game. Linearity is no more as you can pick where you want to go and the pace you want to advance the main story. If you liked FFXIII you'll love this game and if you disliked FFXIII you should try FFXIII-2 and see how well Square has improved the game.

I found some great enjoyment in getting to the better part of the end of “non farmy” game play within a couple of weeks of semi-committed game play. This included finishing the main storyline, which is by no means the end of the game. The cinematics are great and the mini games are a lot of fun. The only let down for me was the slot machines, sadly they just don't -ever- pay out. maybe there's a moral lesson there. but the Chocobo Races are FUN :-) Game Play Is fun and Fluid, Monster Allies are varied and just look amazing. Worth the coin.

I played ff13 and got a little bored of it and now don't even know where it is, I still decided to get this game for 2 reasons 1 it was only $25, and 2 I have loved final fantasy for a long time. This game was great it has made me want to track down my ff13 and give it another try. FF13–2 is great and I highly recommend it

This game is soo awesome u just have to get it!! Seriously you wont be disapointed!

Great game, nice game play, and need more open area to explore… Lots new system… Ha ha.. Good game to play… Love the movie…

It is a rather mediocre sequel, it hardly has anything to do with the previous characters, and when they do show up, it's as a cameo and they aren't controllable if they join you. Playing with monsters on your team is pretty cool, but I would rather of had another fully playable character instead. Gameplay wise it isn't too bad, it's like the first one with a few adjustments. Monsters now appear randomly which is annoying compared with the original and the per-emptive strike has changed and doesn't fully full the stagger meter either, so easy battles drag out instead.

I prefer the original, but I don't really like non-linear in RPG games.

The game was really enjoyable, as was the story. The DLC even proved to be really fun and creative. A drawback is the fact that you have to buy the last episode of the game in order to see the ending, other than that the gameplay mechanics and elements were really great, I insist any Final Fantasy fan to at least try the game out! P.S. sometimes it may feel that you're just watching the battles, but you get the ability to change the characters' battle styles and can also manually control them if you don't like automatic.

Fantastic game absolutely AWESOME customer service and extremely speedy, I LOVE MIGHTYAPE first stop when looking for anything!!! :)

Everything I'd imagined XIII to be!

Fast delivery and being enjoyed and thrashed

Great game with lots to do sure to keep you entertained for a long time

This game did not disappoint in fixing what I didn't like in FF13. Wonderful!

I am loving this game. Its the first final fantasy I have ever played and while some things were a little confusing at the start it wasn't hard to figure it out. I love the graphics and the story line is great. Very addictive game!

Good game if ur into ff

You will waste your time if you play this game. Unlike all the other FF games – this one leaves you hanging after wasting 100+ hours to get to the end. Do not bother and just watch the cut-scenes on youtube.

Just finished playing it!! The storyline is so amazing! I recommend people having this! Truly awesome,just awesome! After finishing the game we can still play the others and finishing off the rest. Always fun to play! FF for life~

Got this as a gift for my brother. I watched him play most of it, and he really enjoyed it. Good game if you like the other final fantasy games, as this one takes a long time to get going in terms of gameplay and storyline. If you've never played a FF game before, id suggest a different one first.

I have loved the final fantasy series since I played final fantasy x on ps2 (still the best in my opinion) and I've played any other final fantasy game I could my hands on. I LOVED final fantasy xiii and expected big things from xiii-2 but I was a little disappointed with it. The story line was confusing as hell and kinda didn't relate to the xiii story much. If your like me and can't comprehend time travel and going back and forth again and again then you might struggle with the storyline like me. I also found Serah annoying, I liked lightning and the other characters from the previous game a lot more. The game also had strong points such as being able to explore a lot more than xiii and completing the story in your own time and also capturing monsters to fight alongside you was pretty cool. Overall I enjoyed the game once I began to understand what was actually happening but I didn't enjoy it as much as other final fantasy games though.. (still better than x-2 though, that was just awful lol)

What I liked the most in FF13 was that it was different. The battle system was unique and easy for new comers of FF or RPG games. Another reason why it kept me playing was its colourful graphics, storyline and its beautiful cut scenes. Since I wanted more, I got FF13–2. Takes 3 years after the first one and still has that unique gameplay but its a bit different, monsters aren't present on the map but they randomly pop up like the older classic FF games and you are accompanied by monsters/pets. Great game if you're into FF13 and recommended to play that first before you try FF13–2.

This game is definitely a must get. The graphics are amazing and the cinematics really tie in with the storyline.

great game,think its better than the first part. Graphics are great, cant wait for final fantasy XIV and at an unbelievably low price, was the best deal I have seen around from all leading retailers, and its delivered to your door the next day,now thats what i call service, thanks again Mighty Ape.

Loving this game. Storyline's not the best but gameplay has definitely improved over the original

Bored and want something to fill in your time but its cheap- This is the game for you

Loads and plays well…stoked with this purchase..than­ks guys

I really enjoyed the new battle system with the monsters as allies feels like pokemon i wanted to collect them all! But the story is great not as good as FF-13 but still great, gives you a nice perspective of the FF-13 universe. I give it an 8/10, Highly recommend to any FF fan.

As a Final Fantasy series gamer, this is one of the best series I have ever seen or played!! I love how you can go back into time in the historia crux as well as experience another ending! I also love the new system where you can capture monsters after battle and train them to fight with you. I hope a FFXIII-3 comes out even though it won't be announced.. I've completed the game but am still trying to complete the game 100%

Amazing game, highly recommended

I really enjoyed this game. It was amazing and can't wait for the next one :D

Thanks Mighty Ape :)

Much btter that FF13, but still not in the same league as FF7, FF8 or FF10… Worth buying if your a FF fan but otherwise your not missing much

I feel that with this game, SquareEnix have tried to smooth out all of the gameplay difficulties of Final Fantasy XIII, and it works for the most part. Fights are smoother and you seem to have more options as opposed to constantly spamming attack or shifting paradigms to protect yourself.

The storyline is great, and the visuals are stunning (no surprise there). The characters are quite enjoyable to play (there's no irritating Hope character this time), and they have built on the idea of the Crystarium, which enables you to develop your character in a variety of different ways.

I agree with the cameos though, it would have been nice to be able to play some of the previous characters, at least as temporary party members or something. Nonetheless, still a five for me.
