Final Fantasy XIII-2 Launch Trailer Released

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Launch Trailer Released

News on upcoming DLC detailed as well

Written by Matrarch on 01 February 12 at 00:09

A quick glance at the news items on the game page for Square Enix's newly released Final Fantasy XIII-2 will show you that there's clearly been no lack of video footage leading up to this game's release.

Well, the day has finally arrived, so we have (at least) one more trailer to show to you. Ladies and gentlemen, the Final Fantasy XIII-2 launch trailer:



We've also known for some time that a number of new items and quests would be brought to the game via the magic of DLC. In addition to the extra weapon for Serah, Azrael, which launched today at 80 MSP, we also know that the Coliseum battle entitled ‘Lightning & Amodar’ will be available on February 7th, though a price was not yet justified.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 was released today in North America and will arrive in Australia on February 2nd and Europe on February 3rd. For those of you lucky enough to have the game already, what are your impressions so far?

A lot of companies are buying up any name that is even remotely related to their IP's so someone else doesn't buy it first and charge them an arm and a leg for the rights if needed. Case in point, FB.com went for 2.5 million dollars recently. I wouldn't say this means that Final Fantasy XIII-3 is necessarily coming out.

I've never been a huge fan of actually playing the Final Fantasy games, but they sure are gorgeous to look at.

in all fairness square enix didnt just make a game with XIII the created a vivid and vast universe and its good to see them exploring all of its possibilities before making XV.
anyone who played deus-ex will know the series will continue to final fantasy XXVII :)
final fantasy XIII-2 release was really un-organised. the game not being released world wide on the same date meant it was lost to europe, the limited and crystal European edition was seriously understocked and the pre-order bonuses were not pre-order bonuses they were retail specific bonuses. also americans wee left out to dry when square announced a crappy american limited edition to compared to europe, Square-enix drop the Enix.
to the world you are one person, to one person you are the world.

Played the game for quite a bit last night. So far I am enjoying it! I'm not as big of a fan of the Crystarium in this one as I was the first, but it is still sufficient. The graphics are amazing and the battles seem reasonably scaled in terms of difficulty. This was playing on the normal difficulty. Also the monster being the third character in the party is not as bad as I expected. I actually managed to make the game a lot easier by using the right monster. While my main party was at approximately 600-700 HP I had a sentinel monster in my party with 2,300 HP. He just takes the hits while I chisel away the enemy. :)

DLC announced before a game's even out (in the UK anyway). I still think that is disgusting behaviour.

Really wish Amazon didn't suck and would get my copy here already, bastards.
You seem a little furious...
