Oh Chocolina, with your modest demeanor and your adorable Phoenix Down outfit; who cares what the other 27 new screenshots have on them, as long as you’re here with me.
I don’t know why Square Enix decided that a Vegas showgirl was the appropriate choice for a shopkeeper in Final Fantasy XIII-2; I’ve stopped asking questions at this point. All I know is I must have her hat, and possibly a lovely sparkling pink Chocobo, or my life will not be complete.

Friday, December 2, 2011 at 11:07 AMTo me, the FF series has been downgraded from “Must buy, day one” to “Will wait for reviews”. It makes me sad, I used to love FF games. They then released FFXIII…

Friday, December 2, 2011 at 11:40 AMThis game is looking more and more awesome.
It seems like a new FF entirely, just with a continuing story – much greater depth, bigger options, less corridor-lol, training monster allies, conversation paths, etc.
Can’t wait!

Friday, December 2, 2011 at 11:42 AMFor me, that last screen shot is one of the reasons why i didn’t get into Final Fantasy 13. There is combat action under flashy lights under mountains of text, all with the colour level turned up to 11. I know I’m old and need glasses but all that flashy takes away from the combat for me. Add a constantly shifting camera angle and flowing, unpausable action and i get confused and angry. Plus the characters were meh, but that all personal opinion i guess.

Friday, December 2, 2011 at 6:28 PMSquare Enix used to only produce quality games. Now I’d be hesitant to get any game developed by them, even if it was a game that received decent reviews. Their games are usually polished enough technically to merit at least an average score, but their gameplay since the PS2 era has been mediocre.
I don’t know why. My guess is it’s a combination of them struggling to adjust to modern hardware as quickly as Western developers, and their inability to produce games that appeal to a Western demographic. The last really decent game they’ve produced in the series in my opinion is FFXII. It’s a pity they didn’t decide to build on the original gameplay ideas they’d developed in that game for their more recent turn based RPGs.

Saturday, December 3, 2011 at 2:56 AMI’m glad that they seem to have changed up the formula of FFXIII at least a little bit for its sequel. I wanted to play FFXIII and get into it, but it just got so tedious.
I still wanna play this even though I thought the character of Serah was annoying… not that she was the most annoying character in FFXIII by a long shot :-P… I just hope she’s changed or changes in this game to the point that I won’t mind playing as her through most of the game.
I feel like I should actually finish FFXIII though, before playing this one… but how could I play it when I’ve got Zelda, and Skyrim, and Assassin’s Creed, and Uncharted, and all these other games I haven’t finished or even played yet? Maybe I should just get it out of the way…
