Final Fantasy XIII-2

I enjoyed XIII too. I thought the characters were great, the graphics beautiful and the gameplay fun...Yeah it was linear and the story wasn't up to bar but it was a marked improvement over FFXII.

I actually DID get FXIII-2.....so far the story is weak, very weak in fact. It could get better but I've heard it doesn't and that it might be DLC heavy(as in that's where the full story will be). The characters are just alright too. The time traveling is fun...The gameplay is good and challenging...

I don't know...honestly...If you enjoyed FFXIII you won't hate this, you'll at least like it, which is where I fall. In the middle. Some say it's improved, but so far I don't like it as much...But overall, I'd at least try and rent it....

I know, with this level of indecisiveness I should write video game reviews!


UPDATE: So just read an article and yes the story will be expanded(and maybe even continued) through DLC...So I don't know whether to like that or dislike it...At least I'm consistent.

I'm really enjoying FFXIII-2.  The post-story game is more fun than the actual storyline, even with Caius being one of the better villains of the entire game series, up there with the likes of Sephiroth and Kefka (and much better than the villain of XIII).  Add to that the monster hunting/capturing/training, I've been playing the game for at least twenty hours past the point of completely maxing out the main two characters.  I haven't done that with an FF game since Tactics.

I'd have to say, though, I actually enjoyed XII more than XIII, but XIII-2 more than XII.  The gambit setup was one of my favorite combat types.  I'm not sure how I'd feel about it now after the frenetic pace set by XIII's paradigm system, though.  I also really dug XII's story.  It reminded me of Tactics (which is good, since they share a universe).
