    I'm quite enjoying the art style. Something about the simplicity of the color scheme is kind of drawing me in.

    That said, the villain guys look ridiculous. The Emblem on the guy's back makes me think he belongs more in a KH game than an FF game.

    I also don't like the "Final Journey" bit. If it's just saying this is the end of FFXIII, fine. But I don't want them to kill another main character.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    This one doesn't work anymore either. We're going to wait until the official release before putting this on the frontsite all

    13-2 went on sale for $20 in hardly any time at all.

    If your definition of badass is stereotypical, campy, and overdramatic, sure.

    Personally, I can't get over that outfit. I don't know what it is, but it rubs me the wrong way and makes me want to either cry or laugh out loud, dunno which. It just doesn't suit Lightning. Makes her look both ridiculous and as if she was trying to be not Lightning or something.

    So for the people who haven't seen the trailer yet:

    The soundtrack was a reworking of existing FFXIII battle music, so that's not changed a great deal (seeing as the composer for XIII-2 is still in it)

    The battles appear run in a similar system with the ATB segments, but it seemed a little more free flowing, but that may have been the combos shown. The gifs show a much more different display for HP etc during battle, so we'll have to wait and see for more information there.

    Lightning has a lot more mobility with her movements, as shown in the gifs. There was a moment where she jumped off a ledge onto a pole and spun around it down to ground level.

    Hope provided narration along with Lightning.

    The trailer emphasised the 13 days thing, and the passage of time. It also showed there will be day and night cycles for areas.

    As a final point, is it just me or does Lightning's new armour remind you of N7 armour at a glance?
    I made one myself for a change! Although you can probably tell that..

    Oh god Final Fantasy X just copied Breath of Fire this is trout I'm never playing a game again.

    Oh but wait I can guarantee Breath of Fire took that idea from somewhere else, probably semi-famous literature.

    It's not even the core element though, so I don't understand. Let's just enjoy it for what it's worth and not get hung up on influences because there is literally nothing that is an immaculate conception or truly unique these days.

    i think that taking anything from ffx as a model for development is a valid concern to have

    Yeah but this is SquareEnix we're talking about. They're usually masters of storytelling. It's not like they can come up with something new.
