Feb. 6th, 2012 07:41 pmFinal Fantasy XIII-2 is now in my possession! I'm not yet at the ending on my XIII replay, but I thought I'd load my post-game save and play through the end again before I began the sequel. WILD SOBBING.
Vanille is a really interesting character; it's as if someone took the 'perky girl' RPG stereotype, took a long, hard look at it and went, 'Okay, the world is in serious danger of ending; why are you so happy?' I don't think I'll ever be able to view characters from that particular mould in quite the same way again.
Regarding XIII-2: I've only played the prologue so far. Here are my (non-spoilery) thoughts:
- Lightning is awesome.
- I have absolutely no idea what's going on.
And since writing the above I've played a little more! My disjointed musings so far are under the cut. I've only just acquired the first Artefact, so I haven't really got very far.
( Final Fantasy XIII-2, not-very-spoilery thoughts from the first two hours. )
Are any of you playing this game? Planning to play it? How are you finding it so far?
