GREAT Improvement from FF13. A game worth playing

Unlike in FFXIII, I actually felt the emotion in this game. The characters were very well developed. Unlike in FF13 where it bugged me that the character's development felt rushed and completely unemotional [ for example with Hope,his mom and hatred for Snow]
The battle system has IMPROVED ALOT as well as the LEVELING mechanism. FF13 used to anger me with the unfair leveling system but it is all fixed. There are A LOT to do in this game which makes it much more fun even AFTER you beat the game. Future DLC will add an addition to the game so right now, it is not over even if you beat everything.
I personally love the characters, the dialogue and most of all the ending. It isn't a boring, cliche one and it is full of emotion. When I beat FF13 i thought [that was it?!] The ending made me feel incomplete. But the ending in FF13-2 made me feel like I actually completed this journey.

I was personally a harsh critic when I thought about getting this game due to Sqaure's epic failure with their first sequel, FFX-2 and then how I didn't really "LOVE" FF13 but...I gave it a chance.
Which is what you all should do cause Square really listened to their fans on this one.
I don't know what else to say but play it give it a try. Don't judge what you do not know
and at the end of the day, if you still don't like it, then at least you had an open mind and played it.

A very smooth and good sequel to Final Fantasy XIII.

Unlike the first one, this game allows you to customize more things than just weapons! You can also capture monsters and have them on your team! Of course they can level up too, with the required materials.

The battle system is still about the same except this time there's button pressing on cinematic action or a monster attack.

The story isn't as linear as the first game, you can now go on side quests early in the game to obtain rare weapons and items, and capturing rare monsters!

Good title, expecting more... but it's ok!!

Very cool game!! But still with the same battle mode as FF XIII, not bad, but can be improved, because is bored to control only one character :C

One thing very cool is that you can share with your friends in facebook your game achievements. The story not bad, but can be more exciting. I don't understand why Lighting was in the logo, If she isn't the protagonist... but whatever.

I love FF titles, so I don't gonna say that this is the best FF that I have ever played! But is a good one :)

Fun gameplay, Bad story full of gaps. Only for FFXIII fans.

Recommended for FFXIII fans. It's a good game. It's fun, looks great, and it does fix problems found in FFXIII. However, the story of this game is not good. Dialogues are cheesy, there's a LOT of plot holes and material often feels recycled. Characters don’t ask questions that are important and a lot of details are dismissed. It's hard to care about these cliche characters.

If you get this game, make sure you like FFXIII first. Again, it is an improvement and gameplay is fun, but the poor story and incomplete ending makes it a bad addition to the series.

great game! wish I had more time to play it.

Pretty awesome game. It follows the story line of the first edition but it's not a game that you want to play if you don't have oodles of time on your hands. There are a lot of different factors in this one which allow you to customize gameplay better but it's very time consuming to learn it all. Since im not such a hardcore gamer anymore it doesnt work for me. Still a great addition to the series however 4 thumbs up
