The twenty-five year old series first appearance on a new generation of consoles brought with it beautiful visuals, a fast-paced and more organic combat system, and Japanese melodrama in the grand tradition of the J-RPG.

First impressions - great visuals,same old grand set pieces and characters of XIII, better combat and exploration gameplay- fast paced ,better than lost odyssey.., cool monsters sound- epic sound design cons - long loading times, with d advent of elder scrolls , this feels a bit dated, but still...

All in all, I had a great time with Final Fantasy Type-0 HD. The story doesn't make much sense, but the battle system is really fun and addictive and kept me coming back. And despite the overwhelming nature of having so many subsystems to keep track of, leveling the characters and upgrading stuff is...

Fun battle system; replay value; lots of distinct playable characters; good music; difficulty options

Confusing story; uneven visuals; too many subsystems

I should have known I wouldn't like it but I gave in to the hype. Hate the whole JRPG thing where you have to fight and use different methods to score points. Just means that the whole game becomes about fighting and I'm so not interested.

The unfolding drama of Final Fantasy XIII continues in Final Fantasy XIII-2. Explore a richly developed world featuring both new and familiar faces, and an exciting and highly developed strategic battle system. In this ongoing saga, the future is about to change...

By combining a good story with a real effort to fix FFXIII's flaws as a game, this sequel does quite well. Fans of the previous game should pick this up, and those who wanted to enjoy it but were repulsed by how constrained it was will be relieved to know this one allows significantly more freedom...

" Final Fantasy XIII-2 " does exactly what it sets out to do, addressing XIII's issues of combat difficult, linearity of world design and lack of towns. It creates a deep and rich world that can easily draw you in if you let it, even with its giddy childlike cast of characters.

To say that the original Final Fantasy XIII was controversial would be something of an understatement. The game's incredibly rigid structure, while great at delivering a gorgeous cinematic experience, alienated longtime Final Fantasy fans who enjoy the thrill of experimentation and discovery.

+ Fixes pretty much every point of contention from; + ...and the game's still packed with astonishing graphics and music

? How does the last survivor of humanity manage to look so well-dressed

Final Fantasy back on track It is hard to write about a Final Fantasy game, without referencing the game that brought Japanese Role Playing Games to the attention of all western gamers.

Awesome Graphics; better than FFXIII in every way; not as linear as predecessor

battles are still "spam the A button for a win
