Completely forgot that the Final Fantasy XIII-2 demo was available.
Downloaded it and played it, and i enjoyed it quite a lot.
The gameplay is far better in my opinion. I love the monster taming, i love the quests and the exploring and i still love the combat system from the original. The battle music is nowhere near as good as Blinded by Light was, but it's not completely terribad either. Was a little confused about how the Crystarium works in this one, but i'll probably wait until i get the full game before i really try and figure it out.
Found out through my own craftiness that your monsters can devour your other monsters to increase its stats and give it different roles, effectively meaning that any monster can have any role if you train it properly, which makes it seem like the monster has more customization options than Serah and Noel do. Turning my Omega Weapon into a healer = lol
Since you can recruit Lightning as a monster through DLC, does that mean she can eat monsters too? Or can monsters eat her? hilarious.
Regardless, it seems like the story is gonna be a pile of crap from what i've read online. But eh, i'll play it anyway.
