SynopsisIt's been three years since Lightning and the rest of the crew saved Cocoon in Final Fantasy XIII. Survivors have started rebuilding — but Lightning has gone missing and is presumed dead. However, Serah is sure her friend is alive, so when the town is invaded by monsters and a mysterious man named Noel comes to Serah's rescue, together they embark on a transcendental journey to find Lightning. Get ready for the newest installment of the Final Fantasy franchise, Final Fantasy XIII - 2. Final Fantasy XIII - 2 continues the story of Final Fantasy XIII. After Serah happens to meet a mysterious man named Noel, the two embark on a thrilling journey in search of Lightning. Join the search party and immerse yourself deeper than ever in the adventure as the latest installment of the Final Fantasy series takes player-driven gameplay to new levels.

Recruit iconic creatures, such as cactuars, tonberries and behemoths, and train them to become valuable assets on the battlefield.

This Collector's Edition comes in a beautiful hardcover case featuring illustrations by Yoshitaka Amano to immerse you even deeper in the story.

Set down the controller and peruse the 20-page artbook to get a good look at remarkable concept art of the game's environments, monsters and weapons. In a world where every decision you make has rippling effects on the story and the fate of the quest, choose your actions wisely — and discover endless replayability.

What's great about it: Lots of options.
What's not so great: Not very serious until towards the end.
This game is fun. Now, it can be a bit confusing to play if you don't have the game guide because you can skip ahead to doing certain parts of the main storyline without even knowing it and then miss something you need. But it a basic playthrough. I love the characters and the music although the chocobo death metal is very unfitting at certain parts :P. This game is much less ridiculous than the first for the fact that you don't need to spend millions of gil on purchasing components for weapons and accessories. The primer is great for those who don't want to play the first game but want to try out this one; it provides an overall review of the storyline of the first game. My only disappointment was that the signature CGI cutscenes are seen only about 2-3 times throughout the game, but that's personal opinion :) I would recommend people to play a demo first though because people would definitely find faults where I had not.

What's great about it: Gameplay, soundtrack, graphics.
What's not so great: Story is weaker than 13, but still enjoyable.
I loved Final Fantasy 13 so when I heard about this game, I got excited. They improved many things in this game from the last one. The biggest improvement they made was making it less linear from 13. They have a monster system where you can get some of the enemies you fight to join your team, which gives it almost a pokemon game like feel, where you want to go out and get all of the monsters.
With all the improvements, the only thing I can be picky about is the storyline. I still enjoyed it, but compared to 13, it has a weaker storyline. Overall, I love this game, its improved gameplay, great soundtrack, and less linear gameplay make it very enjoyable to play.

What's great about it: graphics, gameplay, story
Some of if not the best graphics ever! Main storyline is a little short, but you're not even half done with the game once you "beat" it. Time-tripping storyline is interesting and entertaining throughout. Being able to collect monsters, level them, and use them in battle is a cool new feature. Other than one of your team members is a monster battle is very similar to FF XIII which is pretty sweet although I still prefer the old school turn-based to ATB gauge. Overall quite possibly the best game since FF X (still my fav). Collector's edition has very cool packaging which is worth it looking cool sitting on my bookshelf, but is not for everyone. May not be worth the extra price to you...the "art book" isn't very impressive and although the soundtrack works well within the game I'll probably never listen to the CDs.

What's great about it: Characters, story, graphics, gameplay
What's not so great: Too much DLC
This game is will be instantly familiar and intriguing to people who played FFXIII, theres an element of nostalgia, and desire to further the story of 13. The game is slow to explain where its going, but keeps you interested, new mini games, and interesting characters keep your interest peaked.

What's great about it: Beautiful gameplay
What's not so great: Still a little simplistic
I'm not going to waste time telling you what's been fixed as that's everywhere.
All you need to know is that if you powered through FF13 you should play this game as it does add a lot more depth and complexity to the simplistic game play of it's predecessor.

What's great about it: It's Final Fantasy~!
What's not so great: language can't be changed, cinematic action scene is very confusing, Bonus book is disappointing.
Everything's excellent as you'd expect for a final fantasy game.
No complain here about gameplay.
Just minor complaints...
language can't be changed, just like the previous games.
camera work in cinamatic action scene is very confusing and disorderly.
Bonus material, Episode 1 hardcover book, is very disappointing.
I was expecting some artwork in it....just words...
Shoulda went with Amazon or Gamestop...
