This game is perfect for: casual gamers
[After what many fan's called a disaster in the franchise, the success of the Final Fantasy franchise can only improve. There's little Square Enix could do to make a reception of a game worse than Final Fantasy 13. For some of us, FF13 left a bad taste in our mouths. In addition to the blunder of FF14, the SE faithful began to dwindle in numbers. On to the path of recovery, SE created a comeback with Final Fantasy 13-2.]*****Gameplay has changed significantly to an open-world theme that allows you to virtually backtrack to ANY point in the game. Battle structure is similar following the style of stocked commands. Only 2 main characters are available in a 3 party battle system. The 3rd member takes the form of a "tamed" monster obtained via battle and quests. Although you can't equip monsters with beneficial accessories, there are numerous creatures at your disposal. Commands are communicated almost instantly, so battle control has become more precise. Characters, as well as monsters, can level up via an improved version of FF13's Crystarium System. All roles may be accessed by the 2 characters, however it's balanced so that they are unique to each character. The main story line is rather short, but that's if you decide to skip 50% of the game. The rest of the game is packed with story-related quests and alternatives that significantly contribute to the story. THIS GAME IS MEANT TO BE REPLAYED. Not necessarily from beginning-to-end, however, some areas need to be re-examined for 100% completion. Beautiful graphics is a Square Enix specialty. The soundtrack is amazing, and offers quite a bit of variety between areas. There's a level of professionalism and polish that other games overlook. Was this game ever worth it's MSRP of $60? Maybe to the hardcore fans. In any case, I definitely recommend this game for it's current market value.

Stop hating this game. It may have done some things wrong in the past, but Square Enix has fixed those things now. This is the sequel to Final Fantasy XIII. Can't imagine how this would turn out? Well, imagine this. It is like FFXIII except non-linear and it's the sequel. Everything about this game makes playing it feel pretty good. The only bad parts were minor, that some voice acting was odd.

The game is good,and the story was great til i got hit with the ending which i didnt like...easily platinumed this game in less then a week,mostly likely your gonna be grinding for crystals/gils whatsoever,the game gets extremely easy when you get a chu chi pet and you'll be killing every single thing in few seconds with just that lil cute monster.and collecting some fragments can give you a huge advantage on the game when you unlock these special fragments that can increase your gil/crystals and improves chance to befriend monsters, i use chu chi for mostly my main style on just ravenger/commando/commando and medic/medic/medic along with green chocobo and somtimes all sents when fighting very deadly bosses/NPC's which there r hardly any,if your lookin for a easy platinum, this game is good for the taking.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers
This game is fairly good. It'a better than the orginal in that you don't have to worry about TP, filling up such a long crysterium since CP is fairly easy without the x2 effect, and you don't have to worry about doing anything tedious for 100% completion like collecting all weapons and accessories (those trapezohedron spwan rates were annoying!). It also has an easy mode option so you can practically fly through the game though you don't want to challenge the final boss until you're at least on lvl 60 ( i got to him at lvl 47 and found the very last fight in the 4 part battle to be challenging).This game has more exploration as versus the orginal when you can only explore gran pulse late in the game. It even allows you to replay stories even though it would be pointless as your characters progress which will make the battles easier replaying them again. I've managed to earn a platinum in this game under 58hrs versus the original which took 115hrs again because of the long crysterium and trapezohedrons. What got me confused is the ending itself but it would be wrong to spoil it although there may be a hint at a xiii-3 but what about versus xiii that has been in development since 2006 and x HD that has been confirmed but no updated info has been released. Square Enix needs to focus on these titles instead of dropping them to work on other projects. All I have to say is that hopefully the wait is worth it or fans will be disappointed. Overall, xiii-2 is good for those looking for a final fantasy to play at this moment and to pick up right were xiii left off but the story is somewahat confusing and leaves you with many questions when it's all said and done but i would recommend it to a final fantasy fan.

Great Game, Confusing Story
Posted 8/18/12
As a Final Fantasy fan myself, i know that early final fantasy players are not used to this change. But to be honest, we must accept Square to being fresh in both gameplay in style. The changed atb battle system has improved no doubt from the first XIII. I think the change was great. As for the story, not so much. I know all of u remember how simple the stories would be in the original, now it's all complicated. I see myself going to the wiki now and then to get my confusion fixed. Either than that, if Square is really gonna pull off a XIII-3, i hope it will further improve battle system and characters and will tie up lose ends. GO L'CIE POWER :P

This is the next chapter in this series the ending SHOULD mean there will be a third or at least I hope. The battle system is the same as 13 but your stuck with only 2 characters and only 3 monsters in a pack as your third character. The story is confusing and not well thought out. I hope if and when the third comes out they return to their roots and follow more after 13's example.

All these people saying this game is bad hasn't given it a try or really hate the change from games like Final Fantasy. This game is very fun I played every final fantasy and change yes it has changed but for the better. You can't keep the same thing forever I highly recommend this game for PS3 Gamers who truly know an RPG game when they see one better yet who truly know a JRPG game when they see one. You feel right at home if you played final fantasy before. This game also gives casual or new gamers the fun they want with many add ons this game is awesome.

While Final Fantasy XIII was undeniably flawed, XIII-2 truly does make leaps and bounds in improving upon the game. With a smoother battle system and great music and graphics, this game is well worth playing. The storyline is slightly strange and hard to follow, however, it is still fun and stays true to the strange but compelling nature that comes with a Final Fantasy game.

VERY TRUE
Posted 7/12/12
The first half atleast. Your not a fan if you have not played FF7, FF8, or FF9. Those were the "garbage" ones everyone seems to say just because of bad graphics but its a PS1 game and its still better then everything after XI. FFXIII was packed with over dramatic nonsense. Only thing that kept me playing was the graphids. FFX was also very good...
