haters - what if FF13-2 is fantastic?

ok, heads up, folks. FF13-2 is getting over-9000 critical acclaim in Japan, and reviews are specifically pointing out that it improves significantly on its predecessor's flaws. personally i already love 13 as it is, and promises of improvement of such magnitude is of course very exciting for me. but hey, that's just me, and last time i check i'm one of the 5 fans on this board.

so let's hear what the rest of you have to say. do you believe FF13-2 will indeed turn out to be seriously awesome? will you buy it, after swearing you're not touching another SEnix title with a 10-ft pole? :D

FF13 is a great game, and this looks like an improved sequel.

I just want V13.

If FFXIII-2 turns out fantastic then it just means all that complaining about FFXIII did good for the game.

Good grief, the first Japanese reviews of Final Fantasy XIII gave it 99/100 or some such crap.

lol it's not possible. Are you saying that the sequel MAY HAVE BEEN... IMPROVED? Impossible!


No, we all know that FF13-2 is gonna be exact same as FF13 because that's how it works.

... NOT. Seriously, the haters hating on this game are far too many. In the haters eyes, it does not matter if it's fantastic or not, for them, this game and the whole company are already doomed and the worst of this generation. As for me personally, since I am not a hater, I can't wait!

I'm one of the 5 who loved XIII and I will def be gettin XIII-2!

Still waiting for Final Fantasy Versus XIII more

i loved FFXIII, and seeing the fact Serah is a main character in this game now, i can't wait for FFXIII-2

XIII was bad, but I'm still getting XIII-2 on the off chance SE gets it right this time.

From the same company who keeps complaining about how "hard" its is to create buildings and such? LOL not even touching it after that mess that was FFXIII. Sorely dissapointing.

I didn't enjoy FFXIII at all but that doesn't mean I want FFXIII-2 to be absolute crap also. I hope the game actually improves and it does turn out to be a great game. The only change is that I'm not buying into the hype. I'm going to wait for reviews, gameplay video's, and a price drop until I get back into my favorite gaming franchise.

Gamers are bit*hy and complain about everything. They're getting super spoiled. FF13 was an amazing game.

what if FF13-2 is fantastic

I platinumed XIII but thankfully that game didn't require a second playthrough. I have enough information too decide whether I'll get the sequel or not and I just haven't decided yet. The biggest change that like about the sequel is being able to use monsters and customize and level them up. I think the story is going to be crap and my only motivation to get through the game then is just to see Lightning, she was outshined by Fang last game.

Don't worry man, I loved FF13 too. It was a great game imo. Hopefully the additional improvements are for the better. Sometimes too much free roam is a turn off for me because I like to know where to go instead of needing to talk to npcs all the time for clues on my next destination as my gaming time has become rather limited lately, which means that I don't really want to waste lots of time looking for my next objective, but thats just me xD

Why it won't be an immediate purchase for me, I'd be fooling myself if I said I won't buy this at some point. With the hope they can address some of the issues that made XIII underwhelming.

If XIII-2 is good then great but honestly, I just wish they would stop f***ing around and finish Versus XIII

I loved FF13. So if FF13-2 is improving on the first's flaws, then all the better :)

FF13 was pretty terrible so they'd have to do a complete 180 for this to come up to "passable" final fantasy standards. but if it gets a 9.5 and its warranted then i might check it out, i'd like a good final fantasy game, i've been waiting a while for one.

I'm a big FF fan and whilst I didn't hate FF XIII, there seemed to be a lot of missed opportunities with it. The trouble is with the continuous stream of news of the game in the last few weeks there are a number of issues that I have already with FF XIII-2:

- Time travel mechanic: Really? Whilst it could be done cleverly I might just rather play Day of the Tentacle again.

- Jumping to different timelines:This seems to me like a rehash of jumping to different locations in FF X-2 and doing the different missions there.

- 150 monsters to collect:It's not Pokemon, its Final Fantasy.

- Playing as Noel and Serah throughout the whole game with the third party member as a monster: I'm not sure I really agree with this. I'd rather have a diverse range ofcharacters that grow and change.

- Playing as Serah fullstop: She was a complete liability in FF XIII and now we are expected to believe she can fight now? I can't see it.

- Ezio costume: I know I don't have tobuy it but ... I don't get it.

Look, it might end up being the best game I've ever played but the marketing strategy so far hasn't set my game anticipation-sense tingling. I am REALLY looking forward to what reviewers over here make of it because I find myself generally agreeing with the findings of KVO and others.

If FFXIII-2 turns out fantastic then it just means all that complaining about FFXIII did good for the game.

After the abomination that FF13 was, i just dont care.

nice to see that my faith in your fervent hate for XIII/SEnix was not misplaced. :D in any case - can't wait for its release early next year.
