Final Fantasy 13-2

I heard the sad music in the video and it made me remember why i loved FFXIII so much. that theme song is beautiful, i hope it comes back in 2.

Anyway... it sure looks interesting, BUT... that guy looks too much like Sephiroth. Considering they made Lightning to be a female version of Cloud... i hope they aren't planning to bank on FF7's success to get hardcore fans to come back to the series. (I might be one of the only fans who likes both the old games and the new ones)

Regardless, it will be good to see some of the characters again, though i imagine that Sazh won't be returning, nor Snow, Serah, Fang or Vanille. Hope probably will, only older and more experienced (and less of a whiny little peach)

I'm hoping they make it different than FFXIII - though i have a feeling they will make it too non-linear that it's more like FFXII

I noticed a distinct lack of dress spheres. I AM DISAPPOINT

I thought the same thing xD

Almost every sequel in existence has successfully managed to avoid showing the entire ending scene of the predecessor, I fail to see how this should be any different. It would have been just as easy for them to show that bit with Lightning without that scene, which was completely irrelevant to the actual XIII-2 part, except to say that it's a direct sequel and not a prequel, which could've been done just as easily by saying FIVE YEARS AFTER THE EVENTS ON COCOON.... and then showing Lightning going full valkyrie.

Even just showing the crew looking up at Cocoon would've sufficed. Absolutely no reason for Serah and Dajh to be shown.

Their approach is probably along the lines of:
"We know you hated the last game and probably won't play through it, so here is the ending, now lets move on to something you WILL enjoy"
