Let's all play Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2!

If you didn't know already, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII comes out next month. In fact it comes out February 11th for NA fans, the 13th for AU and the 14th for EU. In preparation for the release we're going to play through the first two games! If you haven't played the games, this is the perfect time. If you haven't beat them, why not try again? Some of you have already played it though and beat it! Well, we have some challenges for those who would like them. But why should you do the challenges? For chocobos of course! If you complete a challenge then you can get a chocobo next to your username!

How will we know if you've actually done the challenge though? This is where you come in. You'll just have to show a screenshot or picture of your progress. Beginning, middle and end time stamps! So this can be a save file, or a screenshot of whatever the challenge pertains to. Heck you can just play the game and have fun! Just beating the game even gets you a chocobo! Chocobos for everyone! If you play that is.

Lol pics or it didn't happen. It has to be a new game!

You never said it had to be a new game!

And even if you did, I have no desire of doing what I've already done again . So I guess I'm out.

i dnt think i can play this game..
ive played the first XIII till the end boss (wich i couldnt defeat).. im satisfied with that, i watched the final scene on youtube.
i have played the 2nd for an hour or 4 untill i got stuck.
the thought of running back through all the maps have made me unable to pick the game back up again..

im just afraid ill get stuck again

I have started FF13-2! I've so far played 4-5 hours. I am not attempting many challenges due to this being my first time playing it through, so I have already failed the no-monsters thing.

I've been rather inactive on the forums this week. That's because I've been doing this Let's Play!

Just to let you all know, I'm still rockin that 480p. I've still got an "ancient" TV in my bedroom that has a big box on the back. Most of my goals are end game, so that's when I'll post more pictures.

For now, here's a picture with Snow in the Sunleth Waterscape during the first visit. The second picture is Noel's Sargatanas weapon glowing in the dark in the Bresha Ruins! I didn't know it did that, so I took a picture. I like wearing the different DLC outfits.

I'll try again later.
