Final Fantasy XIII-2

gamingnexus.com review
While I have been praising this game for most of the review, there are some flaws that do need to be brought up. Battles can get to be incredibly monotonous in the early stages as you roam. There isn’t too much monster diversity until later in the game, so players might find themselves grinding early and maybe getting a bit burnt out on battle after battle. The leveling system with the Crystarium, also, can be a bit confusing. Early on, I found it to be enjoyable, but as you progress further in level, you have to be careful as to just how much you are putting into specific roles with what you unlock. It is not a straight-forward system and it is possible to paint yourself in a corner, so to speak, without having to grind more. I am a little disappointed that the game has drastically cut back on playable characters in recent titles, but that is more of a personal opinion considering that Final Fantasy VI’s 14 playable characters is easily my favorite. Still, these are minor issues that do not take away from an overall amazing experience.

Speaking of locations, we were nervous going into the sequel that many of the environments would be recycled from XIII, but XIII-2 features a surprisingly large array of new locales. And the places that are recycled don't feel like they've been thrown in lazily, since it makes sense story-wise that we'd have to revisit some old places, since it's still the same world after all. Many of the old locations have been totally transformed too, and the environments constantly play a silent part in telling the story through how they've changed in different time periods (and across alternate timelines).

’ll state this up front just so we’re on the same page: I’m a long-standing fan of the Final Fantasy series but I really didn’t like Final Fantasy XIII. I could go through a laundry list of problems I had with the game, but fundamentally it didn’t have any of the charm or personality I associate with the series. That’s why I’m overjoyed that Final Fantasy XIII-2 brought it all back. It’s fun, packed with content, and made me feel that old Final Fantasy magic again.
