So I just finished Final Fantasy XIII-2. And I must say, to my surprise, it's a whole lot fucking better than XIII.
>Pros
+Worlds are bigger and exploration is required (no more hallway simulator)
+Noel and Serah are way more likable characters than the entire FF XIII cast put together.
+Caius is a fantastic villain with a voice that just oozes sex.
+Actual character development
+A shit load of side content
+Amazingly catchy music (TIME AND SPACE TIME AND SPACE)
+Pokemon-like gameplay thrown into the mix
>Cons
-Story is batshit insanely retarded and the ending is even more fucking stupid and made the entire game pretty much pointless
-The Time puzzle things are GOD FUCKING AWFUL. They were so tedious and really broke the momentum of the game. (Reminded me way too much of the Cloister of Trails in FF X)
-DLC out the ass (I know it's not necessary and you can play the game without it but if you want the FULL EXPERIENCE it's way too much shit to buy)
Overall, I give it a 7.5/10. A great improvement over XIII. Going to play Lightning Returns shortly. Hopefully it's just as good (I see /v/ circlejerks Lightning Returns a lot)
LR is good but the story is literally Lightning becomes Jesus. I'm not even kidding you

Well that fucking sucks. If the gameplay is good I can stomach the story
>>342999967
It's the best gameplay in the series but it's also the worse story in the series
>>342998371
I agree with pretty much everything.
The story in LR is worse, somehow. Music isn't as good, but the gameplay kinda makes up for it.

funny is that if you add a skin of valkyrie profile to it, and replace people that you save to warrios that you send to valhalla before the ragnarok.suddedly is 10/10
Why is this shit so catchy?

>Toriyama loves his waifu so much he turned her Goddess
>>342998371
The vocalist for that OST died quite recently
Did /v/ like Caius?
>>342999967
Don't listen to him. Lightning Returns is basically Valkyrie Profile with Lightning instead of Lenneth.
>On a time limit to rescue the souls of the world before the apocalypse
>Combat system done by tri-Ace
It's easily the best of the trilogy, even if the story goes full retard.

I wouldn't have liked him half as much if it weren't for Liam O'Brien hamming it up as him.
>>343003714
TIME AND SPACE woman?
All Final Fantasy stories go full stupid at points. I loved how all the XIII games just did not give a shit though.
>>343003734
Much better than I thought he'd be, given his character design.
>>342998371
13-2 also has the honor of having both the best and worst Chocobo music in the entire franchise.

I love how Liam O' Brien literally uses the same exact voice he does for Kain
>>343004576
>TFW Liam will never go full ham like he did as Lezard Valeth ever again.
The XIII trilogy produced some of the best vidya game porn I've ever seen.
>this piece of shit is better than this worse piece of shit
WOOOOOOOWWWW lmao
>>342998371
Honestly I agree with most of your list(except I didn't like the pokemon thing) and I'd still put this game below XIII. It was just that retarded.
>>342998371
I actually thought the story was next to alright
Maybe it's because of tragic hero caius

Reminder the singer died;__________;

2bad LR is slow as shit compared to the VP games
>>342998371
OP the progression of the XIII series goes
>FF13
Shit Gameplay, Decent-Good story
>13-2
Good Gameplay, Whatthefuckamireading tier story
>13-3
Peak Gameplay, "WHO THE FUCK SIGNED OFF ON THIS PIECE OF SHIT" tier story
>>343004576
Liam does the exact same fucking voice for every single one of his charactersand I fucking love it
>>343005398

Literally go to Google and search "Final Fantasy 13 porn". It's the 2nd picture. Not that hard to do m8
>>343008148
no shit sherlock
i thought it was a video, to which google revealed nothing
>>343007561
>Decent-Good story
If I had the time, I'd make a 10-part series on how FF13 is the worst AAA title I have ever played in my life. It'd be like Spoony's FF8 review. I could rip this fucking game to shreds. There is not a single fucking redeeming thin about this game, unless you're a permavirgin who has a hard-on for the female cast.
Don't even pretend for a single second this game had a good story. Who are you trying to fool?
>>343007684
same
>PC ports of all the games.
>No nude mods.
You had ONE job, PC fats. One. Fucking. Job.
FF13 is full of in-engine cutscenes. It'd be fucking boners for days.
