Game Description
Final Fantasy XIII-2 is the sequel to the graphically gorgeous smash hit RPG Final Fantasy XIII. After the events of Final Fantasy XIII, Lightning disappears and arouses suspicion among her sister, Serah. Lightning becomes stuck in an alternate dimension called Valhalla and demands a man named Noel Kreiss to find Serha and bring her to Lightning. Once Noel finds Serah, the two must embark on a baffling time-traveling journey to reach Lightning. To assist in the understanding of the complex storyline, players can view datalogs for information on questionable terms and locations.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 features amazing graphics that are unmatched by other RPGs. Cutscenes show characters with beautifully textured hair and incredibly realistic facial features, and battles feature vibrant colors and attractive attack effects. Monsters can also be collected to help fight battles throughout the game for added excitement.
Random encounters reappear in Final Fantasy XIII-2 in a different style than what most players are accustomed. The start of battles features a limited time option in which players can choose whether to fight enemies or run away, and if players attack enemies quickly at the start of battle, they can get a bonus. Active time systems and attack chains make battles action packed and fast paced. Players can also switch character roles in battle to allow for advantages and diversity.
Gone from Final Fantasy XIII-2 is the linearity of its predecessor. Players travel through time using the Historia Crux and are free to travel to available time periods as they please. New time periods and locations are unlocked as players find objects called artefacts.
