It'll steal your soul. Also, glitzer if you're looking to play stronghold of some sort try crusader if you haven't, actually by far the best of the series.

That's not the one with insults you can say on the F keys is it? "Knave!" "You Damned Fool!" "Varlet!"

While I was deprived of internet for about two weeks, I decided to play Final Fantasy XIII-2. It's... uh... a bit of a mixed bag for me.

For the good points, I love the soundtrack. I was worried that it was going to be like X-2 and have some horrible, pop-culture-infested, generic electronic crap going on, but it was pleasantly surprising. I also appreciated that the game brought back tracks from XIII, since despite my utter disdain for that game, I did really adore the soundtrack.

Spoiler :
I hum the theme from A Dying World while at work. >_>


I also greatly appreciated that the locations were more or less all new, although I would have liked to unlock more of them in subsequent visits, as opposed to basically visiting the whole map on the first go and only missing one little branch. It would have made those return visits seem more exploratory and less "let's just get what we came for and scram".

Battle system was tweaked from the original in such a way that it was much more enjoyable. I was mostly just happy with the fact that the battles weren't all ridiculously long and overly tough. Also, thank fucking God for removing level caps. I'm pretty good at games, and I'm always up for a challenge, but damn it, if I want to make it easy and be overleveled at a particular section, that should be my right. I'm not always playing a game for the challenge. I only had real problems with one storyline enemy, and I'll give you a hint, you fight him more than once. Even that wasn't terrible. I just needed to rework my battle strategies.

Bad points? Well, the story is pretty stupid.

Spoiler :
Except for Serah dying. That was awesome.


They seriously could have changed a few names, faces, and a couple of plot points and branded this as a new game if they had really wanted to. Even X-2 managed to have a story more related to its predecessor than this one.

Lastly, just to wrap this up and keep from ranting too much, I'll end with saying that every Final Fantasy manages to have one really, really stupid part in it that frustrates gamers and makes them want to track down the developer who suggested it and cockslap the fuck out of them. In VIII, Laguna and the Red Dragon. In IX, the mandatory Tetra Master game. In X, blitzball (and more specifically, the way it directly links to Wakka's Overdrives and ultimate weapon).

For XIII-2... it's the fucking Hands of Time puzzle. I've noticed a pattern in games, that when a developer creates something that they're especially proud of, they show it by making you do it as many times as possible. XIII-2 definitely adheres to this. I know how to do the puzzle. That's not the problem. The issue is when I need to retry it a few times, and then they time and randomize the fuckers on me.

I almost cried when I found this.

So all in all, I like it, even if I won't openly admit to liking it. Just a few Fragments left!

I'm playing FFXIII-2 also and I'm kind of just playing it since I don't have anything else to play.

I don't like the story and am wondering wtf happened to a few characters, but for some reason, I just feel a bit compelled to play through it since I heard the main quest is short.

I did like FFXIII enough to get all the trophies for the PS3 version (I literally mastered killing those giant turtles OVER AND OVER again for the stupid treasure hunter trophy...)

Several years late, but I finally got around to playing Portal and Portal 2. I liked the first one more, honestly.

Final Fantasy 12. After watching someone play it on youtube, I apparently was playing it REALLY wrong and the story actually gets compelling once we're out of the desert. Besides, it's one of the two final fantasies that I have played 100%, and this needs to be finished!

Level grinding at the moment, but about to start on the main stuff.

X2

Along with Okage: Shadow King. Brought it for $5 a few years ago but never really played it till recently. Why did I wait so long XD

Anyway KH3D, I'm enjoying it so far and I literally squealed when Neku from The World Ends With You showed up and 'Twister' started playing.

However it making me want to re-play the 1st one at the same time XD
