Final fantasy 13 was a good (not great) game.Looking forward to the new one and hope they improve on alot of stuff.
Well, I couldn't get through 13, but at the very least, I'll keep my eye out for the review of this.
Every, single, primary Final Fantasy game with maybe the exception of XII has been a "corridor" game. If your to stupid to see past the illusion that those games set up for you, I pity you. I enjoyed XIII. And I'm looking forward to spending more time with Lightning. Bring it on Squeenix.
For the people who are wondering why Final Fantasy XIII is getting a sequel, you do realize that the people complaining about it are a vocal minority, right? Final Fantasy XIII actually outsold XII, for one. For two, Final Fantasy X-2, while it didn't sell as many copies as Final Fantasy X, still sold roughly 4 million copies.
Assuming the same holds true for XIII to XIII-2, SquareEnix can expect to move over 3.5 million units. It's no surprise they want to make one.

Fuck, the video game industry just keeps getting more retarded.We need some sort of Renaissance to un-shit things or something.

Fuck you Square, I'm tired of this shit, I keep defending them and making excuses for them for forever but that's it, FF13 was bad, and it's getting a sequel? Over all of Square's other amazing games? The only things I want from them anymore are an FF7 remake, and KH3, no longer care about anything they make.
Ah, hyperbole.
People are acting like Bulletwitch or a similarily terrible game is getting a sequel, here.

It's good that Jim is skeptical as he should be with all games to avoid it when people say he inevitably over-hyped a game.
I feel like some people read a bad review about the game and then used the reviewer's opinions as their own. Well, while some people hated the first game, I enjoyed it, (And really just thought that FFX was linear as well, but whatever) and look forward to this one. And they need to get Nubou Uematsu to do the friggen music. ALthough Ill have Last Story to appreciate his masterpieces.
I never played the first one because I heard so many nasty things about it. Maybe if this one reviews better I'll pick it up.
hilarious because X was as linear as they came, you got freedom (an airship), like what, 30-40 hours in? X-2 was free an hour in.
XIII got poor reviews on Japanese image boards and just about every other internet source adopted the same idea.
XIII was my favorite final fantasy. Some of you just refuse to see the series evolve in any way. Infact you guys remind me of people who have 7 as their favorite game of all time and dismiss all other FF's because they aren't 7.
I hated XII but i dont look for every place on the internet to complain about it.
There are about 3-4 Final Fantasies to look forward to, quit whining about the fact that you don't like one, that you know nothing about, that wasn't a trailer thats teaser or announcement at best.
One thing i do have to comment on is that she is wearing yuna's x-2 outfit with armor top and feather sidedress thingy.

I'm going to have to be skeptical at first, but given how little we know, there is a chance Square could have actually listened to criticism of XIII, and this could end up being a much better game.
Here's hoping that they've decided that removing the player from the experience just about as much as they could was indeed a design mistake. Could do with less hand holding too.

Like I said in the last post everything else about 13 I could deal with even if I didn't like it but that boring as all hell battle system really killed 13 for me.
You could eliminate the shift system and just put everything under magic and streamline the selection process alot more and allow us to switch between characters, because getting the game over screen just because the character your playing as died was just stupid, especially when you have 2 fully functional characters left and enough revival items in your Inventory to bring back half of America from the dead.this made playing as low health characters( hope in particular) a damn nightmare, the boy goes down if they chuck anything tougher than a taco at him.

The new generation of gamers can love it all they want. If you but the game just because its a Final Fantasy game shame on you. The visionaries that made the franchise are gone. Look at Lost Odyssey and the new game called The Last Story. Those are good rpgs. Square has lost there talent and the same producers that made ff13 should be laid off. I applaud Hironobu Sakaguchi for leaving Square-Enix.
I have still to play FF13, so i'll have to make up my mind about this being a good or bad idea after i get that.

YAY JIM, YOU'RE ACTUALLY DOING IT!!!!!!!!!

I enjoyed XIII especially once you get to Gran Pulse and can actually explore and do side quests. I'm hoping that this game will have the extra quests and a bit more exploration towards the beginning. I also hope they rework the weapon system a bit. Other than that though I can say that I will remain cautiously optimistic.
If this is, like X-2 was to X, the antithesis of XIII, then this will be the game we wanted from the off. A gameplay masterpiece that has a brilliant story that only hints any anything remotely a serious storyline.
Or Square could fuck up again, it's a 50-50 bet these days.

I'm going out and limb and guessing this:
With a two year development time for this game (between the JP dates for the two) less emphasis will be placed on art and style (amazing as it was) and more on plot and character.

... wut?
Actually, I don't have a problem with the notion of them taking all those assets they lavishly built, and making a better game with them. My biggest issue with FF13 was that it wanted to be a movie - and not even a really great one. I even liked the combat system, once you actually got to use it.
Yet, it's not going on my "buy" list just yet. We shall see, Square Enix. We shall see.

Im really looking forward to FF XIII-2, I thought FF XIII was really good game. No on par with the older FF (I think 6 is the greatest of all time) but not bad, I was down for story, best non-nobuo score and enjoyable battle system. If you want a FF to be angry about go play XII.

"The trailer and logo reveal that Lightning has a rival this time around. Two attractive ladies with giant swords? I must say, that already sounds like an improvement."
i thought so too, until i watched the trailer and realized the other girl looks more like a guy. :/

@tmanwilly - I resemble that remark!
I don't EXPECT anything from SquareEnix, anymore, aside from disappointment. I still hope, though.

Here's my thing with FFXIII, I think it is a very good game, hell, probably one of my favorite PS3 titles. However, I don't think it's a very good FF game. Nonetheless, I will most likely pick this game up and I'm sure as hell going to get Versus XIII. Anyone got an idea on where to find the badass song in the trailer?
Fuck da h8rz, I say. I actually enjoyed XIII, and I'm somewhat looking forward to XIII-2, though the bitter taste X-2('s story, not gameplay) left in my mouth makes me a little apprehensive.
