Everyones playing FFXIII-2?

[Holy_Dragoon]

Looking forward to this game =)
Yes my inner fan-boy is showing. Do I care? not one bit.
Was XIII perfect? nope.
Did it re-invent itself like most FF games do, yes.
I play each new game with an open mind, expecting cross-over elements with new game-play in each entry.
That's exactly what I got in XIII.
Story was way better on my second playthrough.

It's the general consensus that Versus XIII will be largely different from FFXIII and therefore "a better game", even though every FFXIII game in the Fabula project are all related to each other in some way. It's why I found it funny there's so much hate for FFXIII yet there's so much love for Versus XIII/Type-O.

Sad thing is, there's even hate for what XIII-2 "brought back", but still was well received, just means people are being really fickle about certain aspects they deem to what makes a game 'good' since for example you mention the overworld, XIII-2 brought back open exploration, which a lot of people hated because it's "too open ended" lol.

Well one, if that is in fact the general consensus, I wouldn't know. I don't tend to listen to the general consensus, I try the game for myself.

Two...yes they are all related to one another in some way, maybe not story wise but in some way. They come from the same series.

Three, if you have tried Peanut Butter you know you love or hate it. People have tried FFXIII so they know if they love or hate it. Versus and Type 0 (at least US wise) people have no experience with. It's like seeing a new toy or restaurant and thinking, how that looks fun or good. We don't have any experience with it, so we can only go by what we see and make a decision based off of that. Once the game comes out and people have experience with it, we will see the true results of how people feel. This happened with FFXIII, and FFXII etc... and will always happen with every new FF game (and every new game period) that comes out. People always have higher hopes for the sequels, or new games in a series that they love. It's simply human nature.

Very much looking forward to it myself. I would be lying to myself if I said I didn't thoroughly enjoy FFXIII, FFXII, and FFX.

Combat, multiple systems of advancements, and challenges that make you want to overcome it with better tactics or further advancement, something to shoot for.

I guess folks are kinda varied on what they enjoy. I can see why someone who didn't like FF13 would skip FF13-2. The way most vocal people feel about FF13, I felt about FF7 and skipped FF8 as a result, because I didn't enjoy FF7 the way I enjoyed FF1/4/6/MQ (yes, even Mystic Quest).

Fixed.

Rule #1 : you do not talk about Mystic Quest Rule#1

FFVIII wasn't great but it wasn't terrible either. Triple Triad was great, the GFs were very cool. The last boss and ending are well worth the journey there.

Yeah, the draw system sucked, the story forced, and the world seemed like a collection of high-tech movie sets dotting a wilderness landscape rather than a believable place, but it was still quite fun.

Not so much here. Have been practicing skiing in tribes ascend.. Gota go fast!

I preordered the collector's edition so I'm just waiting on tomorrow to get here so I can play it. Beat XIII the other night so I'm ready for the new one. I thought XIII was decent with my only complaint being I would of liked more control in the battle system.

I thought XIII-2 seemed pretty cool after playing the demo.

I'm looking forward to XIII-2, I played the demo and loved it. Very excited about this game and can't wait to get my hands on it.
