I have played FF13 and FF13-2 and got 100% on both (Well, almost, god damn treasure hunter achievement) but I am fairly caught up with the story. Will everyone who is picking up Lighting Returns have two games under their belt or are you just jumping right in?
I will admit, I haven't beaten either but I have played them boh. Just haven't.... Finished... I should get on top of that.
I'll say this: I don't think you will be any more confused having not played the first two games than anyone who has played them.
Actually I'm pretty up on the story having recently read all the back story for the universe and everything. So ya, I will be.
Pretty much this. The story so far is stupidly convoluted.Quote:

FF13-2 wasn't too bad. I never caught why you were going through the world resolving the paradoxes other than to see lightning in Valhalla or how the paradoxes formed, but at least the premise made sense.
I've played and beaten both, though not even close to 100% on them, but yeah like Del said it's not that i'm not totally confused by the story of Lighten Returns.
I've played both XIII and XIII-2 multiple times. I did 100% of XIII-2, and did everything except the damn Treasure Hunter trophy on XIII. I'm very much looking forward to Lightning Returns. I just finished replaying both games again, so I think I'm as refreshed on the story so far right now as I'm ever going to be.
Observe the title, friends :cool:
I've played and beat both twice now since the release of the original.
For those who want more understanding of the story of XIII-2, I'd definitely encourage you to check out the datalog as well as the fragment descriptions in the main menu. They've got some story in them! You can learn about Caius' backstory as well as read some funny conversations between Mog and other monsters.
I haven't finished FFXIII-2 but I got the gist
I've played and beat both games. XIII-2 I just beat last summer, and I watched all the cutscenes from XIII just before playing XIII-2 again. I never really messed with the datalogs in XIII, but I never found what was going on too hard to follow. XIII-2 I did read through all of the fragment stuff. It had interesting tidbits but didn't add too terribly much to the story.
The point is I am pretty well equipped in my knowledge going into LR. The only thing I haven't experienced is the novel(s?) for the XIII series.
Yeah, I've beaten both. I don't have a clue what is going on half the time anyway. Hi sister, there's a God and I guess I serve this God and the God made you all not crystals and I'm battling some dude at the end of time now. Now off you go, do stuff.
Go watch the 16-Bit story recap.Quote:

Bought XIII and XIII-2 in December. Beat XIII in about 64 hours (minus a lot of the side quests stuff on Gran Pulse). Currently finishing up XIII-2. I'm on Academia (4XX AF) and from what I can tell, it's probably close to the end of the game, so should be finished it right before LR comes out.
