Official Xbox Magazine US : "It repairs almost every problem"

And it's early good news for RPG fans: OXM lamps a 9.0 on the Square Enix follow-up, claiming it "fixes pretty much every point of contention" from the original game.

"FFXIII-2 repairs almost every problem with Final Fantasy XIII, delivering an experience that feels like what that original game should have been," it states.

"If your faith in Final Fantasy has been damaged by past disappointment, playing FFXIII-2 will restore your excitement for the franchise's future."


Framerate issues and the occasional "gimmick sequence" are downer points, says OXM, but overall it's an "amazing" sequel.

Good stuff. Earlier today Square Enix confirmed that a demo is coming to Xbox 360 and PS3 as soon as next week.

this is nice for XIII-2, do you know what score the  Official Xbox Magazine US give to ff XIII?



Since I despise FXIII and this one's better maybe this game will be a ok game for me.

Hmm anyone know if Snow and Hope is in it alot?? I hope not, they almost made FXIII unbearable to even finish



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

@VXIII Yeah I thought the quicktime events were a bit wierd too

But I noticed no slowdown at all on the PS3 version thropugh multiple playthroughs of XIII-2 (where is that d.amn perfect ending, haha, getting a guide with the english version for sure) and that is on one of the original (fat) 80gb ps3's that currently is running (if you want to call it that) skyrim at between 1 and 10 frames per second (between freezes & hard crashes).

Even at FFXIII-2's most intense moments there was no slowdown, & not one bug or crash, so I dont thnk anyone else will have issues with that either

Brilliant game overall though, gave it a (very deserving) 9.7/10 in my own 'games' page & it ranks in at my 4th favourite numbered FF game ever (& I've played them all)

It got a [rightful] 9 as well.



I've just finished translating my review into English (please excuse the bad English, I lack vocabulary of late)

Hope it can help :)



OMG ONE WEEK LEFT TO GOTY 2012!!!



Check out the Final Fantasy XIII-2 US Commercial. I must say that it is significantly better than the one they released for XIII.



Critics are beginning to slam this one too. What's the problem with it this time? Supposedly the story. It's almost comical as to the extent some critics go to slam a game that willingly addressed every complaint western critics had with its predecessor.
