Everyones playing FFXIII-2?

Not far enough in yet, but I would assume you could find a mob that drops them frequently if you 5 star and farm Librascopes. Other than that I'm not far enough in yet to give better advice.

Second playthough REALLY helps understand XIII in its entirety.

So thoughts anyone? I've been playing for 2 days non stop now and SE did fantastic job. Definitely more fun than XIII.

Damn UK release being the 3rd Feb >.>, Amazon sent mine in the post this morning so I'll be playing it tomorrow

Nice! I bet you cant wait! I opted to take the trip upto my local game store where i preordered to pick it up in the morning, Amazon have a knack of being unable to deliver games on release day with me.

Hope you enjoy the game! I know i will

I can't wait to get mine. I preordered, but got free shipping, so I should get it tomorrow or saturday. I've been replaying FFXIII in the meantime. I maintain that the fun part was the fast paced story driven part and not the wide open part I need to grind on that I'm in right now. I almost want to stop playing and just go straight to ffxiii-2 because this is so boring...

From what I saw of the demo, FFXIII-2 is better in every conceivable way. Hopefully that, along with FFXIV's relaunch, will help rehabilitate SE's image.

Nice, do you get the Pre-order bonus DLC with that? (the weapons and outfits), Amazon should deliver it fine, they're sorting office is only about 25 miles from me

You know I wasn't big on the XIII battle system that relied on paradigm shifting more than use of specific spells, but XIII-2 is proving I that it is in fact very viable, fun and still strategic. I still turn my default menu to Abilities though. Auto-battle might be possible to win the game sure, but you sure won't roll through optional content that way.

XIII-2 is very enjoyable. I take back what I said about X-2 and SE's ability to make a quick turnaround sequel-story too.

No spoilers here from me.

I wasn't too fond of the pacing of FFXIII. And so far, not too fond of *some* of the pacing in FFXIII-2. A short chapter book that came with my copy helped as an epilogue to FFXIII.

I AM however, extremely pleased with the music and the game mechanics.

Still waiting until I can stop playing XIV long enough to finish XIII before I can even look at XIII-2

In FFXIII-2 at the menu, there's an option to summarize each chapter for FFXIII. Although that's probably not reassurance, but the closer to the end you get in FFXIII, the more gaps you'll probably be able to fill in.
