Forums - Gaming - FFXIII-2 Trims Game Length to Add More Than Just Battling in Narrow Corridors

Runa216 on 24 September 2011

More sidequests? Minigames? shorter length? Well at least that's one category on my score card that I can look forward to...it'd be nice to have some variety to the content, since I didn't like how XIII had practically no content at all other than the same simple "Walk forward till your next battle" mechanic for 40 hours.

Might not suck, I'm still not convinced, but I'm willing to give it a chance.

I'd rather they spend this time and money on VsXIII, though.

Agreed, I promised myself I wouldn't get psyched after FFXIII, but I'm getting pretty excited.

It's hard to admit it, but I'm getting interested in more news ^^

X-2 was better than X, so I don't see why XIII-2 wouldn't be better than XIII.

If we go by my preferences, then XIII-2 will turn out worse... finally proving the impossible possible.

X-2 was awesome. Easily a PS2 favorite. But since X is my ultimate 1 fav, I can't agree ^^

well to be honest most of the time you spend on FF13 is retrying battles that lasted 13 minutes because the game has weird difficulty spikes left and right.
sometimes its too easy , sometimes its just too damn hard that you can lose in a blink of an eye a battle that lasted half an hour.


this....

Much shorter but with more varied content?
Meaning I get good gameplay AND have to spend less time with serah and all the other wastes of space?

  They are actually trying to sell this to me, and successfully!

Your secret is safe with me.

Now tell it to the other forumers!

Granted that is the right direction but way too little way too late. Also I don't buy that being reason the game is only on one disk, they have to be doing something else to lower the size or cutting the maps down alot more then we think.

I think 25-30 hours would be ideal, with a host of mini-games, sidequests and other things to do. Hopefully, it's not that much shorter than they say. It took me 85 hours to 100% FFXIII, whereas it took 100+ to 100% previous FF games.

Yeah...so please one part of the fan base and piss off another part. Good job moron.

55 Hours for the average gamer. Damn it really sucks being above average >.>

FFXIII-2 5 hours confirmed. and 4 hrs 30 mins of that will be in a casino.

Majority of Final Fantasy XIII was made up of more cut scenes than gameplay and not only that more and more games are using of real time event scenes instead of CGI.
