Video Game Review- Final Fantasy XIII-2



I've been excited about this game since the middle of last year when I found out it was going to be released in January. I love the Final Fantasy games and loved Final Fantasy XIII. This sequel follows Lightning's sister Sereh and a mysterious stranger Noel as they go around fixing paradoxes in the space time continuum that was created somehow after the first game ended. They are also looking for Lightning who disappeared right after the first game with only Sereh and a couple other people remembering her at all. First off, I love the game play and the story is good for those who like Final Fantasy games. Personally I like linear games with some side quests thrown in but this game is wide open where you can do things at completely different times in the game and you need to trigger certain events to move forward. Still fun though. My absolute favorite part of the game is that to fight along with Sereh & Noel you can capture enemies through the game and use them to fight along with you. They can all be leveled up and you can infuse some of their powers into other monsters to make the ones your using that much stronger. Great game and while this and soon to be SSX will be taking away from my reading time it's been worth it.
