We know Final Fantasy XIII-2 will release in Japan before the year’s out, however most of you didn’t care because, well, you’re not in Japan! Anyway, Square-Enix’s announced a western release date for the JRPG, turning the grim faces of all RPG fanboys into smiles.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 producer Yoshinori Kitase has claimed that said game will be a “completely different experience” from Final Fantasy XIII.
Final Fantasy XIII was hated more than it was liked. Gamers loathed the “western” tone Square-Enix inserted into the bonafide JRPG, and the results were catastrophic. Yes it sold well, but many fans have vowed not to purchase the sequel after what most deem a failed effort. Yet the publisher’s trying hard to appeal to fans by using the same engine (Crystal Engine) which powered Final Fantasy XIII in an effort to elude console bias, and have built XIII-2 around fan feedback. It’s also over 40hrs long, and that’s without side quests.
For Final Fantasy XIII-2 fans, quench some direct E# footage of the game in action posted below the break – four videos to be exact.
We’ve already got this trailer posted elsewhere on the site. Thing is it’s not in HD1080p and English, so here goes. Hit the link as Square-Enix tries hard to coax you into buying its upcoming Final Fantasy XIII followup, FFXIII-2.
According to SCEA, Final Fantasy XIII-2 will hit the U.S. and EU “next winter”, following the game’s announcement this morning. A new trailer’s also been released.
I never saw it coming, but Square-Enix, at a Japanese event, has just announced Final Fantasy XIII-2, a game the company says will be released this year for PS3 and Xbox 360.
